Very nice and I like the colour

I have a bit of a hybrid induction kit, I got the K&N typhoon, tegiwa heat shield, I removed the K&N filter, replaced with the ramair filter from the SR120 kit and then used the cold air intake from the SR120 kit. I find the ramair filter a bit quieter than the K&N

Lovely, championship white really does look good on a type r

I am shocked you managed to get the mpg down to 29 in a Golf diesel, thats pretty good work! I came home from work in one of our company DS4 diesels Thursday, covered around 300miles in it over 24hours, its 13 years newer than my EP3. What I can say is that, it feels more substantial and the...

Its a relatively simple task as even a no-hoper like me has managed to remove the airbox box assembly to fit an K&N 57i, then remove that and revert back to standard and then remove again to fit a K&N typhoon

Great thread and thanks for the Lucas replacement bulb codes, replaced all 9 bulbs in my EP3 over the weekend, I knew one bulb had gone, however, when I swapped them over, 4 were out

Yup, thats the hose Thanks for knowing the ID, appreciated :)

Hi all As per title, I have noticed my crank case breather pipe is starting to look like its perishing Does anyone know the dimensions of the pipe so that I can order up a silicone replacement ? Thanks if you can help

I initially went for a K&N 57i kit, with a tegiwa heat shield and a silicone elbow............at full throttle it was very loud, I swapped the K&N filter for a ram air foam one, no noticeable difference Then I removed it all and went back to standard, mainly down to an awful intake sound at...

Wow, great work on the conversion to track car

Very very nice, exceptionally clean

Wow, it does look pretty nice, probably priced a bit high, I imagine they still arent at the point where people will buy them and tuck them away and not drive them

Amazing build thread, with a daunting amount of work, congratulations

Nice looking car, looks like quite a few jobs have already been done, has that been in your ownership or prior ?

Lovely looking in white, really does suit it, after all your expense, are you still happy with the car ?

Fitted the silicone intake pipe today, along with a tegiwa heat shield, both pretty simply to fit arriving at some point today is a stainless sports back box, once thats fitted, performance modifications sorted Next up, alloys refurbished and I really wouldn't mind a carbon bonnet

Nice looking car, enjoy it, dont forget to post some photos after detailing

Yup, in the 6,000 miles I have covered, its only been filled with super unleaded

No lpg conversion, brim to brim measurements, (litres/gallon 4.54) to and from work trip is ideal for decent mpg, 6am start, 430pm finish, motorway, dual carriageway and fast a/b roads, pretty much the same in reverse, my cruise speed is circa 63mph, then use the handling and acceleration out of...

Glad to hear you are enjoying your EP3 :D I have had mine a couple of months and enjoy each and every drive, even though most of my drives are in heavy traffic For me, I have only seen below 40mpg once, 39.6mpg, however, I tend to bumble along at 60mph on the motorways/dual carriageways, mainly...

First run out in car with the 57i fitted today........ Hit 4,000rpm, can tell something is different at just under 6,000rpm, wow, massive change, grin inducing !

Wow, very very nice, colour really does suit it, when the new shape came out I wasnt so sure of it, but, its really growing on me

When I got my CTR it had Toyo T1R's 215/40s on it, it was a right pain with tramlining and following HGV ruts on motorways, to me it feel just a bit too twitchy at the front I swapped them all out for the correct size 205/45's all round and the tramlining and the slight twitchy feeling...

Finally fitted to my car this morning, I was dreading fitting it as the last K&N 57i I fitted to a car was a nightmare........... Airbox removed, no dramas, new filter fitted, breather pipe fitted, the cold air intake pipe, with bespoke end piece, what a total nightmare, do mechanics have 6'...

Wait for it.....................here comes a mega mileage car............... 2003 Model, 219,784 miles ! 1 previous owner, full service history, still performs bang on and is covering 100 miles a day still

Welcome along to the forum, enjoy your EP3 :)

Looks really good, top effort

Thanks for the reply, I am aiming to install next weekend, will post some pictures after the install and my thoughts on what it drives like

Thanks for the pictures, cone looks to be pretty big, how did you find running the cold air feed pipe ?

I recently fitted a pipercross panel filter to my EP3 and thought I would draw the line on intake mods with that...... However, browsing through Amazon today, I came across a 57i kit, 57-0442 for the EP3, from Amazon direct, brand new, discounted from a claimed £288 down to £37 ! I thought...

I filled up my type r the first few times with V power, but, I noticed it was nearly £1.40/litre, so switched across to Tesco, which is currently £1.33/litre When you cover 500 miles per week, every little bit of saving helps!

My milano red (pink) is pretty bad on the bonnet, I did find that using colour magic did help gloss up the bonnet a bit, you'll not get rid of the pink, but, to me, after a couple of hours work, it did look better
