Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** New rocker cover fitted PG14***

Took my Spoon N1 off to clean it. Hence why i bought new bolts as the old ones snapped - FML!

So i bought a new gasket for the Bpipe to back box connection.

How do you find the N1? could be my next mod.

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** General bits and bobs PG19 ***

I was set on one until I heard my friends. They're pretty loud

They're ear splitting to be honest mate, sound amazing!

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** General bits and bobs PG19 ***

Sound amazing!

But f**k me is it loud and intrusive! I keep thinking about selling tbh.

Especially when you do a motorway cruise - "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

LOL

 

[kpowell911]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** General bits and bobs PG19 ***

Maybe not then, Im finding the Tegiwa M a little too loud ;

God Im getting old lol

I only want it to say I own a Genuine Spoon part lol. Same Reason I spent £17 on a Genuine Mugen Resevoir Sock lol

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** General bits and bobs PG19 ***

lol- I hate it sometimes, its ridiculous!

Right, tyres. Ive narrowed it down to a few

Hankook v12 - £280 delivered
Yoko ad08's - £480 fitted
Conti sport contact 3 - £393 delivered

Ran the contis on my last ep3 and loved them, question is which would you pic and why? Are the ad08's really worth that much money extra. V12's would be around £300 fitted.

These are all 215/45/17 by the way.

Thanks

 

[kpowell911]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** General bits and bobs PG19 ***

is 215/45/17 standard size? Dont the forum suggest changing to something more common cause its a rare expensive size?

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

205 is standard

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

Too loud? Benders. Should have heard the supersprint race system on the 172, that c*nt set off car alarms just turning the key and cranking it over, lol.

As for the tyres aside from being black and round surely you're comparing chalk and cheese. The AD08's are supposed to be epic but compared to the conti's they'll no doubt last a lot less miles and probably be fairly poor in the wet.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

ive had the omp with ITB's and no interior, i know what loud is I had to use ear plugs!

I love it 95% of the time, but when you just want to pootle its not brill. I want a b-pipe and buddy club manifold as well, but i know its just gone be crazy loud!!

 

[Turkish]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

I'm so tempted by a buddy club on the 9 but not sure if it'll earn unwanted police attention, the spoon will be quieter, probably on a par with my 5zigen that's currently fitted.

LOL its bad enough when my old man used to go to work in the Summer Mornings in his 964 Turbo! Turbo Back Performance System starting up in the single garage directly under my bedroom

The Toda one sounds nice, but looks terrible.

Does anyone make a stock looking EP3 one, that adds a bit of noise and powers?

The Supersprint B Pipe and stock back box is supposed to be a good compromise?

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

Thing is the back box is good for around 250-300bhp. It wasnt really designed for forced induction though, but for N/A apparently its pretty good.

I could be tempted with a manifold, bpipe and O.E back box.

Or just man the f**k up and go balls deep!

I need tyres first though!

 

[Turkish]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

Buddy club mentalness

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

I really want a buddly club manifold! £650 is a bargain!

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

Really wanted a spec 4 for mine but couldn't find one!! My mate has a ep3 and has just purchased a mugen twin loop!

 

[kpowell911]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

CPL seem to like Piper stuff.

My mates (Ford Boys) have them on their RS' and ST's and they sound nice!

Any good?

[kpowell911]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

You getting all this from Honda? I need to get a centre scuttle clip front them!

Any experience changing the front bulbs. The book says rotate wheel left, un pop the 2 clips from arch lining. b****cks. No chance!

Any tips?

 

[Jamesstone]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

It's probably easier to take the arch liner mate. What bulbs you wanting to change? I've managed to change mine without taking the arch liner out but it can be a ballache!!

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

What are your plans suspension wise?

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

I've sold my current coilovers. So I'm back on O/E suspension for now just to release some cash

In the future I'll go back on coilovers again

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project - *** Tyre adviced needed - PG19 ***

Anything around 300bhp would be plenty

Pretty achievable with the SC
