I had one, sound is awesome. Are they still a million pound?

They haven't dropped in price then lol. Atleast you don't lose any money if you were to sell it on
That's the plan at least!

Any induction that comes from the scuttle panel will always work really well! It's a low pressure area - hence why all cars have the heater air inlet in the scuttle panel.
No placebo there mate. :up:

Hahaha, you know me so well!
Thanks, mate!
Below 60 it was just noise addition. Over that it really felt a lot keener to get to the top of 5th!

When I had an rs2 I was going to use the Clio 16v scuttle induction to feed my v6 airbox. Shame I got rid before I had a chance to try it out, as I think the results would've been noticeable.
Yeah I couldn't quite stump that kind of money, great as they are!
Haha !
That's not going anywhere! My brother had an injector failure/fire on his EP3, the only thing that saved the car was the molten plastic of said cover dousing the injector.
That's 3rd hand out of TGM, but I'm not chancing it. 😂

What about Work T7R's? or some TE37's?
Rays/Volk, 57Racing or GramLights basically!
Got to be a size that I can take with me to an FD2 soon. (17x8J ET45ish)
And, I'm so over TE37s. :up:

Time and time again, it saddens me to see all the generic, trundling arsewipe crap that Jap manufacturers churn out these days. Yet just over a decade ago - such cars were in their prime and made in earnest.
Marketing and design studios must be stressed and scratching their heads about which way to head with performance cars. Yet they've already been there, done it and got the t-shirt. Several times over.
Granted, there are still the likes of a the Civic Type-R and the Nissan GTR. But the majority have fallen by the wayside - crippled and pushed aside by environmental pressures and the upward weight and space tendencies of safety equipment.
I can only see the market value of cars such as these (and many other from that era) going, up and up. Especially in the case of minters. I could spend less on a decent DC5 than walking into a Honda dealership and buying a b*****d Jazz. My own mind and sanity baulks at the mere concept of choosing the latter option....

17x9 ! -- which offset is that on? Are you square front and rear? Do you get any rubbing?
I very much want OEM+ for mine, so I'm not THAT low on my Bilsteins, and I get zero rubbing at 17x8 ET49 on track.
Teg DC5 & Ph2 172
Haha yeah, wasn't easy getting them on! The wheels are ET45.
BC coilovers with adjustable top mounts
Shorter steering arms
Extended wheel studs
8mm Spacers up front ( to clear the brembos )
Rear arches rolled.
Running around -3 neg camber up front
& Around -2.5 on the rear.
Still get a bit of rubbing if I'm going hard, but thats mainly because my coilover springs have settled now so the ride height has gone to s**t.
On the roads its not great to the be fair, well it is and it isn't. It tramlines alot, so you need to have your head in the game if youre going hard and the condition of the road changes. But, the turn in with the neg camber is amazing. Got a trackday booked for 27th Feb when I'll be out smashing it about, it should be really good on a smooth surface. Hope so anyway :/
Yeah sod all that, lol. I'll stick with 8J.
Where did you find shorter steering arms? EP3? My only changes so far have been rack raiser and ep3 track rod ends.
Teg DC5 & Ph2 172
Well, as daft as it sounds. The face on Rpf1s changes after 9j, and it looks miles better. Just had to get it to work! You'll notice it's more concave on the smaller sizes and I'm not feeling it. Mad I know.Yeah sod all that, lol. I'll stick with 8J.

Area motosport sorted mine out while they were installing parts mate so I'm not sure tbh.
Same with Rays mate, you've gotta love more dish/poke/width/concavity whatever you call it.
<7.5J and the wheels just don't look special enough.
