    Hi!

    Hi all, i'm new to the forums!

    My brother sold me his 02 ssm ep3 so i thought i'd introduce myself here and start reading up on mods and what not. It's currently lowered on coilovers and I have 16'' rota slips on order..other then that it's stock. I'm planning on an a2 swap in a few months so i figure i catch up on my reading first..will take pictures once the wheels are mounted!

    Cool you're from Toronto. I see people from Toronto posting on here, but I RARELY see EP3's around. but then again i don't live in Markham. I've heard there are TONS in Markham.

    if you see a NHBP ep3 thats keyed on both doors and both rear quarter panels, thats me !

    quick question:

    whats the significance of an RBC and IMG?..I've seen these parts in many of the build threads and i wanted to know exactly what they do.

    Thanks!

    basically give you more cooler air. cooler air = power. but you need some other mods in order to get the most gains out of the mods.

    Hello hello. I would n't worry about the RBC if you plan on doing a swap. it's the code for the intake manifold of a FG2/FA5...does more harm(to power) than good on a stock A3.

    i'd be putting it on the a2 swap..but i'd like to do all my research first before anything..i don't think i'll be doing anything to the a3 motor knowing i'll be swaping it anyway..i'm not sure if parts are interchangable or not..i'm looking to make around 200whp with the a2 which i think is pretty achievable..i've seen some pretty impressive numbers from people on the forums..shadowMD made 228 or somewhere around there i think?..i thought about going f/i but with climbing gas prices and the car being my d/d, n/a seems like the way to go. Any input is appreciated!
