DESTRO I know its fun to go fast but seeing as you don't know much about cars, I would really focus on the styling make it look nice, the thing about wanting "the complete package" performance and looks is that they tend to clash. E.g. coil overs and body kit, great handling but kit tends to get bashed and battered. since this is going to be your first car and most likely going to be hassled by cops, go for the looks, lower with just springs (trying to keep the ride as smooth as possible) don’t go crazy with the mags, invest in a VERY good car alarm, and get some serious ice. Do most of it your self with help from forums like this one, and you will have fun driving and learning about your first car. And if you get a body kit learn to repair fibreglass and paint cos your first car will take a bit of punishment.

yeh i understand. i dont really want to change the engine at all im happy the way it is but yeh i just wanted to make it look nice, i just had a 18 year old mate of mine die at st lucia 2 weeks ago raceing cause his car was way 2 powerfull for him. i dont exactly want to cark it myself :/

I just find it interesting on how the mechanics and mods work on engines ect, all my uncles and friends went into the mechanics field for work where i went into the fitness so im kind lost when they all talk this type of stuff... so if u can help me with my car ill help u with ur gym work out :O

so atlest on a forum you can read it in ur own time and explain it when ever you like and i can read the definitions or the name and look up what they do so when they talk about this stuff and when you guys talk about it i dont sit in the corner with a blank face and go ahh yeh righty o

hope that all makes sense

Cool, that’s great; you should come to the dinners and meet more people. you know there are dedicated sites for car audio and other things but one of the best sites i found for help and great write ups is www.redlineau.com read the older post in the forum cos the newer ones are just about them flamin each other :/

You can ask them for help and they will help you out in very easy to understand terms. he he he

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
