I am a man who went ballistic after my Audi had been washed by the dealership with a sponge after a service. I told them specifically NOT to clean my car. H.

Also using two buckets, one dirty, one clean is also a good method. I do blastin the bottom 6" of the car with a hose at the same time as I am washing away the heavy grit. For this I use a sponge but rinse it out every couple of feet along the car. I never get swirl marks when I do this. The rest of the car gets the mitt and the two bucket method. H.

Guest Rsand85 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Think the JDM's came with LSD where as the UK's didn't. yup and a different engine also.Think the suspension is different to but dont quote me on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 yup and a different engine also.Think the suspension is different to but dont quote me on that Engine is still the same (K20A) though it is different mapping, different intake & exhaust manifold and, different gearing, suspension (more setup for track). I looked into it when I brought my facelift EP3 Type R, I wanted one at first but when I saw the prices they were commanding I thought I would stick to a UK model, plus it would be a bit easier on my poor back for London driving.
