    Biggest compatible silver top battery for ep3

    Hi i've been looking at upgrading the audio system on my 05 type R and have settled on it being driven by the AV 5.1k which is a 1650w rms amp. I overlooked the fact that my battery is pants, and although i recently put a Varta blue battery in. I recently put an E38 Varta silver in my 300zx...

    Pad replacement for megane caliper brake kit

    I purchased my 04 type r a few years ago and was recently told the front pads and standard rear discs needed replacing. The only issue is that when i bought the car it mentioned having a brake upgrade with Megane RS calipers, the guy didnt know anything else about them as he had only had it a...

    4 different bosch batteries to choose from

    Unfortunately I can't see anything to do with the vin number on there. I don't think ill be buying from the other place after seeing some of the search engine reviews though. The price seems too good to be true.

    4 different bosch batteries to choose from

    I have also found this battery which is £100 in halfords and halfords says it is suitable. Would this be a decent battery? It comes with a longer guarantee than the bosch battery https://www.thebatteryshop.co.uk/yuasa-12v-50ah-450a-silver-car-battery-ybx5053-hsb053-8583-p.asp It says that it...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    This looks like a great deal then. https://grinspeed.co.uk/shop/exedy-oem-clutch-fitted/ I'm glad Grinspeed was recommended even if im not getting the LSD right now. I've had a look online and it looks like a company called Area motorsport are very similarly priced who are very close by to...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    I should have bought a new 1080ti when I bought the 1070, but the maintainence on my CLS left me deep in my student overdraft (which i'm surprised Santander let me keep for so many years after finishing Uni). I want to get a radeon 7 to pair with a freesync monitor. I think it will hold value...

    Whether it is feb or march just depends on whether I spend £700 on a new graphics card for my computer to stop my fps dropping from 60 to 52 on occasion when playing Forza :lol: Its also my excuse for not currently getting an LSD fitted and just having the clutch replaced, although that is...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    The tyres went on yesterday and are a massive improvement. The car can now clear a kerb which is perfect as well. The increased grip and stiffness of the tyre highlights the issue with the front offside suspension which just collapses now when driving. Im getting the b14s either end of feb or...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    Would I be going for ones on an m16 screw for an 05 plate? I take it based on it saying 02/01 for m14 and 09/01 for m16, the m14 is only for the very early models? If I have the cash...:(

    EP3 Front tyre size

    Ill do the tyres first then. From a tyre reviews video, they actually mention that the Falkens have a stiffer sidewall than the PS4 and CS6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QseDx-aBaK4 If the PS4 are reccomended by yourself and having a little bit of bounce on the 300zx with everyday driving...

    Also, since im replacing the ARB anyway would it be worth going for the Tegiwa 24mm/28mm? Or is the 22mm JDM sufficient.

    Thanks the place where i'm taking the car to specialise in supplying and setting up bilstein suspension so thats perfect (Although they had mentioned that I mentioned that with a jap car I may be better off with a japanese brand which is why I started asking in the first place. I'll ask them...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    These are all the ones that i've seen mentioned on forums in association with the ep3, but theres nothing unanimous in terms of what to go for. I don't personally know anyone with an ep3 but the people I know who do track racing have said either KW Bilstein or Tein. I havent seen KW's...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    Im getting the Falkens tomorrow so I will see how that affects the ride. The ride height is currently quite low, and the space above the rear tyres is maybe around 5-8mm. Although its not been a problem so far I would probably want a gap big enough for my little finger so I dont have to be...

    EP3 Front tyre size

    Doesn't look like the tyre comes in that size. I've looked at 235/40 as well, but I guess ill just have to stick with the current size as is.

    EP3 Front tyre size

    At the moment the car is lowered(don't know how much) on yellowspeed coilovers with evo 8 wheels (I think 8J) and has rainsport 215/45/17. The ride can be a bit bouncy on a bumpy road although i'm not sure whether thats the tyre or because of the suspension. The front offside is completely worn...

    PPRUK for a Remap? Or just go to TDI

    Hi, I bought my EP3 after watching this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0laOMg-csM&t=1s , where the guy mentions that the car was built and mapped by PPR motorsport UK.

    New modified EP3 owner looking for MOT advice

    Where would be the best place to have a Kpro or K100 fitted and mapped? From what I have read, it seems like the k100 would be suitable as I will just look to have one map applied. Is it not possible just to put a CAT on and mapping the car without putting a standard manifold on to pass an mot?
