Morning all
Been a good while since I posted here, since I sold my last EP3 last year. Saw a DC5 in Swindon a few weeks back, and got a serious itch, so did a deal for my 130i, probably robbing myself in the process, but my testicular fizzing took over.
52 plate, CW DC5, 89k on the clocks (open to interpretation on actual mileage ). Come with some nice Mugen bolt ons, Intake, twin loop cat back, Eibachs (hence slight reverse rake), innovative engine mounts, and probably other stuff I've not found yet.
Body wise, the condition is remarkable. Mechanically, I think it's sound, but too busy having noise paranoia to test it properly. I think going from an ep3 to a dc5 would make you appreciate the relative quietness, but from a near soundproof 130i, it's certainly a shock to the system.
Stunning cars.
I'm half planning on going back to standard, but also half tempted to swap the mugen for a Spoon N1, just to hide the road noise. The mugen kit is very quiet.
Picking up a standard intake this evening, not sure which one I'll end up keeping. The vtec engagement seems uneventful with the mugen, so might as well go OEM until I find something else.
