Good choice, Les Deux Alps is a good resort :) I've never heard of that brand before lol, I always use http://www.ellis-brigham.com/ for most of my gear. Most of the brands they sell are the brands you should look at. Best not to skimp out on gear when skiing, if its cheap, then its normally...

True, but I've only had the CTR for around a year now, I want to hold onto it for a bit longer to enjoy it more :D I'm getting a bit bored of the b-pipe now, so I'm thinking about the RM01A, but also considering buying a house in the not to distant future, so I need to start thinking about...

Thanks mate. I think my next mod is going to be a Fujitsubo RM01A. I think a K100 will be last on my list, although, I'm not too sure how much more I want to spend, as I plan on getting a DC5 in over a year :D

Unfortunately, not been there either, haven't been to Austria many times. That resort looks a lot better, much more ski area and looks to be suited for beginners too :) I think you're heading in the right direction ;) I don't like the major resorts, Lift passes are stupid priced and you have to...

Car looks awesome mate :smt023 Yet another example of why cosmic's are the best looking colour :D like Scotttomo, I may be bias'd :lol:

hehe, well, I've never been there so It may be nice area, but the ski area has 10 lifts, and 11 runs. You can ski that in almost a day. So If you can't be transferred to other ski areas, you may get bored of the same runs :p Have you been skiing before or is this your first time?

Finally taken some pictures of my new mods: Now, what shall be next on my list? :lol:

Unfortunately not mate, only place I've been to in Austria is Mayrhofen! Although, after a quick search for Rauris, I wouldn't advise going there, unless it links to other resorts as its rather small, infact very small. It also looks fairly low too, which means if the snow hasn't been good, the...

Looks awesome Stu, couldn't keep away from the Gruppe M eh? :lol:

New Update, Just had my Eibach springs, JDM ARB fitted along with a FRSU from TGM today. Car handles Absolutely fantastic now :lol: Will get some recent pics once I've given it a good clean :D

Hey all, I've had a look around the forum but couldn't see an answer. Bascially, my washer fluid stinks :smt078 which makes me not want to use it. Around a month or two ago, the fluid was coming out fairly thick and gunky, and now it smells. Is there a way to drain it properly to wash it...

I've just had the above fitted at TGM today - Eibach springs, FRSU and a JDM ARB. I have to say, makes the car handle amazingly, especially round corners :D

Yeah, as dotty said, heat shield got very hot and started burning the gruppe m, just very thankful it was spotted before it burnt a nice big hole. I love the sound :D can't get enough of it which will be very costly :p

My Cosmic EP3 - New pics Just had my Gruppe M fitted. A massive thanks to dotty for fitting it and preventing a very catastrophic disaster of setting my car on fire :D A few pics:

Yeah, I have thought about removing the rear wiper. Is it a case of just removing it and fitting a bung? or do you have to do any wiring re-work to disconnect the wiper?

Also updated my first post, will get some more recent pics up soon. The pics above were from when it was parked at the Honda garage when i decided to make the purchase :D

Definitely :D its an addictive sound. Once I get those new mods fitted, I'll be on a lookout for one! Thanks again for taking me out for a spin :p

Well, after picking up my suspension mods from Dotty, he was kind enough to take me out for a spin as I've never heard a gruppe m before. I have to say, wow! It made my day! Thats definitely my next mod for the car. I hope it never gets old listening to that :p

I've always been interested in how much improvement the FRSU gives to the car. My previous car was a 97 vauxhall Astra so my EP3's handling is a dream compared. I can't imagine how it can be improved :D But saying that, most people can't be wrong so I've purchased all the mods for it and will be...

Found this which is exactly the same problem as yours http://forum.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?t=76441 Doesn't give an exact answer but there are a few things to try (like disconnect the battery and then connect it again at midnight) Hope this helps

If you were planing on getting a facia then i would recommend the alpine x305. It's not grey, but if you get a black facia it looks good in the centre dash (gives a nice look with the black and silver), plus you can change the backlight of the headunit to red, which goes very nicely with the...

ah cool, i thought there was only one silencer, that being the one on the oem b-pipe. and Leezer, it does when I can't get to a ramp, or don't trust myself to jack up the car to not come crashing down on me :D

Ah fantastic, thats saved me 100 notes to get it taken off and put back on again :D Yeah, I just have a standard backbox Thanks :)

Hey all, I have a supersprint unsilenced b-pipe installed on my car,and I have an MOT coming up very shorty. I have read on an MOT site one of the checks for the exhaust is as follows: Does this mean that my car may fail an MOT with the unsilenced b-pipe? Cheers for your help :)

That is true, HID's are on my list to get, just haven’t thought about them just yet, plan on doing the other mods first then the HID's will be next :)

Hey :) After owning my ctr EP3 for almost 5 months, I thought I would finally get some pictures up Current mods: Gruppe M Alpine X305 Headunit Red Earthing Kit Red Type R battery tie Supersprint Stainless Steel B-Pipe Eibach pro springs FRSU JDM rear anti roll bar Spoon sports rear strut...

Sorry for the delayed reply, but yes, in my panic of nearly busting the screws, I completely missed the individual connections :rolleyes: Its all fitted now and looks and sounds sweet :D @maurice lol, yeh it was annoying having to fork out 14.99 at halfords when i have bought the first one...

argh!! yet another problem, Just wired it all to the car and now when i start my engine, nothing! the headunit doesnt come on, tried pressing all the buttons and nothing :( I even put back the old one and that turns on fine! Anyone know why its not working? im not yet accepting that the unit is...

Just popped to halfords and looked at the adapter and I was sent the wrong one :( but a quick purchase at halfords and all is good :) will fit the rest now Thanks for the help

That link doesnt work, try this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180447309257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ISO-ADAPTER-HO...item2a037f6dc9 NickCTR gave me that link, and thats the one i bought, but the one i got has a white large connecter, not a blue one in the picture! could it have been i was sent the wrong one?

ok thanks guys, got it out. Now have a different question, I can't seem to see how i've to connect it back up :s Ive connected the cable that comes with the head unit into the main slot in the back (of the headunit), then the iso adapter into the two cable sockets, and i would assume the final...

Hey, been spending this morning trying to fit my new headunit (ida x305). Got the panel off around the gear stick, but the 2 screws that are 90 degrees that need to be loosened, aren’t loosening! I’m using a standard screw driver (that fitted perfectly) to try and loosen them but they are not...

Hey there I've decided to purchase a new headunit for my ep3, and I'm favouring the Alpine IDA-X305 (slightly higher priced than I want to pay, but from what I've heard, it’s worth it :lol:) - I only ever want two features from the car stereo. ipod connection (from behind the unit rather than...

I’m 23, just bought my EP3 and searching for the best insurance (currently on a Honda 7 day free insurance thing). Best I’ve found is around 760 (that’s with 4 years no claims). Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but admiral do a 10 month speed insurance where your insured for 10 months...
