Picked up my EP3 the other week, i had a MK5 GTI before this and the EP3 is a different animal! Golf had air suspension (the works) but I thought it was time to move on from that malarky and get something I've wanted for a while.

54 plate, 100% standard and original, i love it!

Plans include just making it a better drive really.

Ordered already :

K&N Typhoon induction kit

Eibach 30mm lowering springs (full alignment when fitted)

Fitted my Pioneer Appradio headunit in last night with some massive help from a friend.

What a pain in the arse that was!

Worth it though just for the Bluetooth capabilities.

Looks nice and will sound nice but it will reduce your bhp.

Yes mate there have been many tests on here and other sites all to with heat soak. Cold air is much denser that's why people have a direct cold air feed at the front.
