    Next up I fitted brake pads and new disc's I didnt get a pic of the process here but i got the end result. Whilst doing the brakes i painted the calipers and added a nice bit of branding i think makes them stand out a little more. I also got fed up of cleaning the white rims and sprayed them...

    This is how it looked when I bought her...... was very unsure about the white wheels, looked good when clean but dam hard to keep that way. Also had a Nurburg sticker on either side..... would be cool if it did go around the ring but im guessing it didn't and these looked poo so came off right away.

    Cold Start idle hunting issue maybe K-pro?

    Hi people. On cold start my ep3 idles at around 2000 rpm which i know is normal for 5 or so minutes until warm the problem is it hunts up and down, its not constant just now and again no real pattern.... im thinking this is a side affect of the K-pro and adjusting the idle valve duty cylce...

    fast idle when cold normal???

    I have this issue and i realise its the norm for an ep3 but mine also hunts up and down until warm which im sure isnt normal and maybe a side affect of having a K-Pro fitted? im plucking up the courage to adjust the idle valve duty cylce a few notches to counter this. any advice would be awesome! :)
