    Looking for gauge recommendations that can be dimmed together with the dashboard

    Hey everyone, I am planning to install Oil temp and pressure gauges in my FN2, but I have no prior experience with wiring them. I drive mainly at night and read that cheaper gauges with 2 backlight options (headlights on/off) have quite bright lights, I am looking for a dimmable option that...

    EP3 EP3 Headlight Washers Don't Work

    Hi all, I have a facelift EP3 with factory xenons and headlight washers. They have never worked for the 3 years of ownership of the car and I never needed them, but MOT laws have changed in my area, so now I gotta fix them to pass.

    EP3 Loose shifter mechanism EP3

    Hi! I've had a loose shifter on my car for quite some time now, but after driving a mate's EP3, I really felt the difference in the tightness of the shifts and want to restore my car to the same level. I ordered a Revo short shifter in hopes that it would fix it, but the OEM one it...

    Can the EP3 be made to pop like a modern car?

    Hi all! I am aware that the EP3 is in no way comparable to most modern cars, however I am a beginner when it comes to exhausts and I'd like to understand the phenomenon of pops, and how to manipulate it, if possible. I've had the luck of experiencing several modern performance cars (mostly...

    EP3 White smoke and misfire after IACV cleaning

    Hi guys! I've just recently cleaned my IACV valve (be removing the Throttle body), with liberal use of intake cleaner. I started the car up, there was plenty of white smoke at the back, I thought it would quickly burn off the excess cleaner still in the system. A minute or so later the...

    EP3 Trying to convert HIDs back to factory [facelift EP3]

    Hi everyone! I am in a bit of a complex situation: My car failed its MOT, because it has HIDs installed (that's how I bought it), and no working headlight washers. For this reason, I wanted to convert it back to halogen bulbs, but looking at all the HID kits out there, I could not understand...

    Alternator whine, only on rear speakers

    Hi everyone! When I bought my EP3, it only had front speakers, so I went ahead and bought a pair for the back as well, but after I installed them I noticed significant alternator whine. The problem is definitely not with the amp or the head unit, since the whining doesn't go away when I...

    EP3 Jerking at steady throttle and acceleration - O2 sensor?

    Hi everyone, A couple of weeks ago I have experienced weird jerking of the car (when accelerating and at steady throttle as well), then the CEL came on with a P0135 (Primary O2 sensor) code. I cleared the code to see if it would come back on, but it didn't, and the car started running fine...

    Hey guys! I am looking for an OEM air intake (all the piping from the throttle body, the whole casing) for my EP3, or OEM style aftermarket one (if it exists). My current aftermarket intake box started to show problems, but I do not have enough money for a Tegiwa carbon one yet, so I am...

    EP3 Looking for EP3 shifter assembly

    Hello everyone! I bought my EP3 not so long ago, and after getting the essentials done, I am in the process of making my shifting feel better. My gear lever has a lot of play in it, because the plastic ball in the assembly is worn. I didn't necessarily want to install a short shifter, but if...

    EP3 Looking for fog light cover

    Hey everyone! I have a facelift EP3, and I'm looking for fog light covers. My fog lights are broken and I don't really want to replace them, since they are quite pricey and I never use them anyway, but I want the holes to be filled with something. Does anyone know where could I get some...

    EP3 Found an EP3, need help with identifying problems

    Hello everyone! Recently I went to test-drive an EP3 (facelift) in my area, and also took it to a pre-purchase inspection. The car has a lot of miles (300 000 kms), and some mods (ECU, carbon fiber hood, wing and intake, springs, exhaust), which I would've liked to do on it anyway. Most of...
