[Mr Burns]

Back where I used to work, only on more money

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice one

 

[imprezaworks]

Not a very interesting update. Bought myself a skunk2 gearknob after people raving about them. Got tbh i wasnt sure but got one anyway. Big improvement with how it changes gear, suprised to say the least. Ordered my unsilenced centre which should be here Tuesday, just need to invest in a go pro to make a couple of videos

Told you, amazing arent they!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep, really makes a nice difference

 

[Ian_182]

That looks a nice example.I have the fn2 which i can vouch for as a great daily drive and i'd have no problem driving yours either.

 

[imprezaworks]

What colour is yours?

 

[Ian_182]

Mine is millano red mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah right. I only ask as i saw a milano red one at johnsons toyota in wallasey yesterday, not yours by chance?

 

[Ian_182]

No mate im in telford.

 

[imprezaworks]

ah fair one, would have been funny if it was yours. Looked nice too, lowered, different wing etc. Quick one, whats your thoughts on the open coned filters like aem etc. Everyone seems to slate them but at the sampe time very popular.

 

[Ian_182]

Panel filters are best as far as i know due to heat issues with the cones.

 

[imprezaworks]

But i love the noise lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Havent updated for a while. Bought a couple of things, aem v2 and changed the exhaust a few times.

Started with a silenced bpipe and n1 rep box, sounded nice.
Then tried the above with an unsilenced bpipe, lasted a day, stupid loud.
Then tried unsilenced with oem backbox, again sounded ok.

A fujitstubo legalis r twin pipe came up for sale, rare as hen's teeth and expensive, so couldnt resist and if i dont like it ive got two or three people who want it. Some pics albeit not the best

Before

Exhaust

On the car

 

[leeds_182]

I kinda preferred the before but I don't think the angle of the last shot does the exhaust any favours.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah probably not mate, kind of rushed. Looks good though tbf, even if i do say so myself lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Just a quick update after fitting my dc catback exhaust and abp eibach sportline springs. The exhaust is just right, not too loud and sounds great when on the move. The springs have improved the ride far more than i expected tbh, much better than standard. Gave it a quick wash and took some pics.

Before

After springs and exhaust have been fitted

Going to abp in crewe on tuesday so get the frsu done, cant wait.

 

[dmallett]

Looks pink

In all seriousness im surprised youve kept it this long so well done! Work looks good so far

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha, im suprised too. I cant see any reason for selling it tbh. Boredom or the sound of tiny feet will be the reasons lol

 

[eves]

Looking good matey

 

[Slammed172]

Looks great. Sportlines are quite a big drop - you wouldn't want to go any lower !

Are you going for camber arms on the rear ? Or just modifying the existing arms.

 

[leeds_182]

That looks great now.

got d2 rear arms fitted ready for the frsu. I wouldn't go any lower either, very impressed how well it drives on them, better than standard by a country mile

 

[imprezaworks]

Any thoughts on what I should ask the settings to be? Or should I just go with abp's recommendations?

 

[SharkyUK]

Go with ABP's recommendations mate. They know how to do a good FRSU. Don't be tempted to go with silly amounts of camber for the sake of 'stance' (or whatever the lingo is) because, driven hard, the EP3's can get through tyres pretty quickly as it is. ABP will set it up to your needs taking into account the tweakable setup you already have on the car.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers mate will leave it to the people that know. I have a feeling they are going to have to replace the ps top mount as I think it's goosed, more bloody money

 

[Mr Burns]

Mine was done with ABP's settings and handled sublime. Looks spot on by the way

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers ste. Made up with the car and what I've done with it so far.

 

[Lawro]

I really like that mate, looks lovely! I keep wanting another one of these but I just can't bring myself to sell the clio. Prefer the N1 to the DC system personally but I know the noise from the N1 can get a little tiresome unless your in 'Tec everywhere lol

 

[imprezaworks]

The noise from the n1 is no where near as nice as the dc IMO.

 

[imprezaworks]

Frsu done, what a difference a day makes

 

[Mr Burns]

Told ya'

 

[imprezaworks]

You did. Good bunch of lads too

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks lovely mate

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers.

 

[Mr Plums]

Random i know but, what tyre shine you used here?..

 

[imprezaworks]

Some autosmart stuff mate, free courtesy of work. Used it for years

 

[Philip.]

Where did you get the FRSU done dude?

 

[imprezaworks]

Probably should have included that, Abp in Crewe mate

 

[Philip.]

Cool cool, cheers pal.

Need mine doing soonish but can't spare the money for the bits because of holidays, doh!
