It had crossed my mind, but that's probably one for the future!
Go rather than show over the coming months hopefully!

Might have found myself a Magnex catback. Super rare as Magnex went bust just after releasing it 
The price is right and it will scratch that particular itch while I'm saving for a Milltek or Toda.
I'm not expecting any gains etc, purely for the noise! :lol:

You're getting your FRSU done soon, then?
How much better does it sound with an aftermarket catback? I always thought the stock FN2 sounded pretty immense :lol:
At Tdi-North on Thursday for FRSU.
I've not got it yet, will post some sound clips up when/if I get it on... Seller has gone quiet.
Do you mean this? Camera picks up a lot reflection from the dash and for some reason the sound is ahead of the video.

I guess you're selling one?!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I quite like the standard airbox to be honest, it's got a decent cold air feed and I've got a higher flowing element in it now.
I think I'm only going to look at induction when it comes to mapping time and what I'm thinking at the moment is sport-cat and header for road legalness, plus Hondata Flashpro and mapping and you're talking £1,600 to £2,000.
Hey John,
Just a quick query - would you reckon that the screen-wash cap (blue) in the FN2 would fit an EP3 - pedantic to hell, I know - but that blue is a better match for the blue theme in my bay as opposed to the lighter blue cap the EP3 uses.
If you know, appreciated - if not.. no probs...
Regards,
TR

Phoned the insurance (Bell) to add the cat-back to the policy and got chatting to the nice geordie lass Jemma on the other end of the phone.
She basically said there is a £25 admin charge when you phone up each time to add a mod, if you add them all at once you only get charged the £25 once. It all started when I said the FRSU and exhaust were only going to be done on Thursday and she said put them on the policy now, it saves a second £25 charge!
I'd told them about the tints and decals etc pretty much when I got the car, and thought Spoon socks/oil caps etc. weren't that big of a deal and not worth mentioning, as you do.
Anyhow she did her job and got me 'fess up on everything I've done and got booked in for on Thursday. Long and short of it is £45.60 charge and everything is now declaired... That £46 included air filter (you don't have to specify type, just that it is non standard), non standard cat back, Spoon socks, Spoon oil cap, FRSU. For £46!!! I was wincing waiting for her to say what it was going to be... :lol:
Not a clue bud, I know the level indicator that goes into the filler neck is different. I can measure the diameter if you want?

The EP3 one is miles better though as the level tube is clear where on the FN2 it's black so you have to try and see where it's wet on the outside instead holding the fluid inside a clear tube....
I wanted to see if the tube was detachable/removable from the cap and easy to swap... it was a really pedantic query, if it's a case of paying £5-£6 for an FN2 cap and tube, and manipulating - I'll do it - if it turns into something more/or just stupidly expensive I'll pass..
