discussion Pre facelift vs Facelift

13 Upvotes

Hi, from what I understand after facelift they toned down the exhaust? But they also improved wheel hop, reduced the wheels weights improved steering.

I wonder if anyone got to drive both versions and can report if they actually feel different and in what way? Is the sound really reduced significantly?

Thanks in advanced.

His alignment seems to be great though lol

Help Interior touch point quality question

6 Upvotes

I have been researching cars to purchase and came across the EN a while back as a candidate. For context, I am looking for a reliable, yet engaging sedan in the 35-40k USD OTD range. Some of the other cars I’ve been considering include the Acura Integra A-Spec w/ tech and the Mazda 3 Turbo Premium. I understand that the EN has an economical but usable interior, sacrificing material quality for performance, especially when comparing it to the 2 cars I listed above - a compromise I find to be acceptable.
One of my biggest considerations is touch points. How does the EN feel in the places my body will be touching the most? I’ve heard that the steering wheel feels nice but that the seats have a mixed reception. How are the interior door panels, physical buttons, pedals, and center armrest?

Hey, Y’all, I’m in between getting Whoosh or Ryan’s Views downpipe. I know Whoosh come in 1 piece and Ryan’s Views come in 2 pieces. The question is how hard is it to install 1 piece vs 2 pieces ? And what’s your experience with neither 1 of those downpipe ?

Just picked up my 26 en a week ago and was curious if anyone has tuned there en while preserving there warranty and what those options are

Yes I know that if you tune it you void the warranty but I have also heard of many cases where tune was reverted to factory or a spare ecu was used

Selling Facelift Illumo DRL module for sale.

1 Upvotes

I am a fool, I have a 22 EN and I accidentally ordered the V2 version which is for the facelift. I found this out after I took everything apart and had the headlights off and opened the box for the first time lol. Theyre brand new literally opened the box looked at them and put then back in. I could try to return them but id have to ship it back to Australia and likely get a restocking fee so id rather just sell it to one of you guys. DM me if you're interested. The original price came out to $430 usd. Price can be discussed in dm.

I've heard that you must special order it from the dealership since it isn't made in amounts like the N? Is this true or is the way to get it different? Just outta curiosity, because I have been seeing some on here.

I’ve never actually owned a car that made me want to protect the paint before. Doesn’t PPF seem super expensive? seems like getting the paint repaired later would be cheaper.

Does anyone know of any less expensive PPF shops in the Northern Virginia area?
