They rather we have shitty light so we can't see

Rang NRMA yesterday and they said this Philips bulb is "Not legal for road use" The guy on the other end cant really explain what is the reason though...

When finding out if something is road legal though you gotta ask the proper authorities (eg vicroads, RTA) imo.

Sorry what I meant is RTA... wth I wrote NRMA? :confused::confused::confused:

[Rudy]

Ah lol! Are you sure the guy on the phone knew what HIR2 are ? It's not a commonly known acronym. He could have even thought you meant HID lol. And could he reference you to the appropriate section in writing... I have to admit Im not familiar with the RTA laws as Im in Vic. Would seem strange though if illegal being what they are.

Hey guys,

I just bought a 2012 euro and was wondering if the mugen replica kits from bodykits kingdom fit on the new face-lifted euro. If they do anyone know a good painter in Perth?

i can say that the fuel meter is not that great... today i was thrashing it around the metro (60km/h-70km/h)... at 3/4 tank had 550KM till refuel. Hit the m5 (100km/h-110km/h) and jumped to 660KM till refuel. went metro (60km/h) no thrashing kept under 2000rpm and i got 600KM till refuel...

Haha.. Sometimes i dont know what the fuel meter for if it keeps changing and not that accurate. it doesn't help at all :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[euRo_noob]

I only use the fuel metre for when it's 80-100km left on it. I'll get around 60-80km before I'm almost empty.

[MR_LATE]

So when the yellow light comes on? Me too

[Neilz]

iv driven upto 40km after the reading shows 0km left

[euRo_noob]

Wow, up to 40km? I think I've driven at most... 10-15km? And then when I went to refill, I filled up to 67L on petrol when our tanks are 65L? Lol.

[Havocwreaker]

That figure probably doesn't include the reserve. I think it's usually about 5l.

[Vaku]

almost 2 months mate. i called my dealer and they ask me to reset my trip and try it again. i hope mine going to settle down though.

[Vaku]

my 2 week old MY13 is anywhere between 8.5 and 14 usually

if I gun it a bit it jumps to 16/17

[MR_LATE]

You gunning it from lights to light or something. Thrashing mine i still get 7.7 not saying its accurate to buy still

[furythree]

wth guys 14-20L??? i thrash mine to shit sometimes, ive never gotten above 12
lowest ive gone is 8.7~ and that was a stable figure for a few months
but as drove different roads it now stays at 9-10L after 4 and a half years


Also i stuffed up the door "touchup" (now a 40cm square "ding") AGAIN
i got it so perfect this time and blended but it fkn started PEELING OFF WTF. i primed it and dried for a week and everything!

i fixed all the scratches on my front bumper and side skirts tho
forgot to blend it in but since i got it right once, dont wanna mess with it again. as long as the colour is right and surface is smooth is enough for me :)
$100 down but learnt so much just from this experience

Hey Vaku,

Just bought the B pillar covers from the link you posted after seeing your pic, looks awesome! I have a MY13 Euro Lux. Its 100% stock at the moment, looking at changing the interior and rear license plate lights...you mentioned you swapped them out in yours and are happy with the result, got any specs on what you used and where you got them from?

I'm also looking at getting the drop in K&N filter soon...not sure about lowering or other mods yet.

Any other mods that you're looking at in the near future?

Probs alredy been asked 1oo times but here you get shifter from.and how much nd was it easy to install????

think i got them from jdmconcept special order.

however installing it is not that easy. you need to take off the whole steering wheel similar to replacing the leather steering wheel with the sports steering wheel.

Also need to take the airbag off without deploying it.

[mickcool]

OHH they look diff ok jdm concepts. i got a friend that works in honda he shoould know how to install.
thanks

That's nice, totally forgot how cool euros are

[ChaosMaster]

almost 2 months mate. i called my dealer and they ask me to reset my trip and try it again. i hope mine going to settle down though.

K24 can be pretty thirsty. Heck, the CL9 was tested as 9.9l/100km when it was on sale, and that car is over 100kg lighter than the CU2 which has the same motor. I find that a mixture of fwy and metro (not city) driving in my 6sp manual will average around 8.5. Just metro (when I say metro, I mean driving around town, 60km/h speed limits and lights every km or so, nothing like city) I get about 11-12l/100km. I would assume a CU2 auto would average 15l/100km in metro only driving. Worse if city driving is involved.

[1six8]

hmm...cant remember what mines is but i get about 700km on a full tank and that is with metro driving almost everyday and last about just under 2 weeks

not sure if the powerchip ecu tune has anything to do with it...but doesnt seem as thirsty as before...manage to get almost 900km on a full tank once or twice

[Fredoops]

is it a piggyback?

[1six8]

is it a piggyback?

nope it is a ecu upgrade tune of the factory ecu with the powerchip group tune setups....

about 20kw gain with sri and catback exhaust

[Fredoops]

It freaking cost 2 grand?!

[Vaku]

20kw? Proven?
$$?

[1six8]

has been proven on the tsx models i4 model which is the same as ours here n the states...with the sri /cai option you need to install a barometric pressure sensor chip to pick up the air pressure that is being sucked. It is pretty much like a limitor without it.

well...saving about $40 fuel over two weeks is something as well as nitrogen air filled in the tyres is worth it as the car breathes better / improved torque overall especially in the low and mid range. safer than messing with a piggyback system which I might consider later if a supercharger kit comes out...and does not void warranty.

[1six8]

20kw? Proven?
$$?

the baseline increase is 14 to 16kw on top of stock for the same price. if you have other mods like sri/cai and catback exhaust the gain is better for the same price. plus is cheaper and safer than a supercharger / turbocharger. it is 20kw min using 95ron petrol...bit more if using 98ron petrol.

been about a year now....was around 1600.

[Fredoops]

yeah.... nah

FlashPro it is.

[euRo_noob]

Anyone on here planning to get the flashpro? o-o

maybe...waiting to hear from revzone...btw have you check to see if it is compatible with our ecu?

[1six8]

Just checked... It is not compatible with our au ecu. Will need to get the USA ecu for it to work. Might have some ecu errors.

[Fredoops]

Correct. You need USDM ecu.

Just turn off any error with flashpro software

[euRo_noob]

Yeah, I just realised it won't work.. USDM ECU = cost an arm and a leg? :(

[Fredoops]

Yeah, I just realised it won't work.. USDM ECU = cost an arm and a leg? :(

altogether should cost about the same as the reflash, and it's resalable.
USDM ECU round about $500 + $800 for flashpro iirc

Personally i think the second looks much better than the first one on a volcano grey vehicle, also the stock cu2 luxury rims have an +55 offset so you should be looking for something like around 35-45, also depending on your tyres also.

Hi
I've put 4000kms on mine now and i get 9/100 highest around town and as little as 7.4/100 on the highway. 6sp manual

[nxn75u]

Silver rims matches really well with volcano grey, unless you are going JDM. Offset wise I think 35+ would be a safer offset for most and don't forget tyres profiles also plays a great role in achieving desired look.

Good day CU2 seniors. I have just gotten myself a black CU2 JDM E version and wonder if there's anyone willing to help me to ship some OEM accessories over to Singapore? I'm looking for the following,

Hi, can the AP 6 potter BBK used on the CL7R be directly bolt onto the CU2? Planning to get a set of Advan RS (18x9 +45 5x114.3) awaiting for Worksop to confirm if the wheels fit. Thank you.

[furythree]

soulful
do you plan on lowering?
i ask because my experience has been that stock wheel size is the best for the car but can go larger if no kit or not lowered
stock lowered isnt hella flush but nice and flush enough imo

[power_of_dreams]

Has anybody changed their rear badge over?

[Horology]

Good day to all, I've successfully installed a set of AP BBK (Model 5570) and matched it with 17" Volks TE37SL. Clearance is about 2.5mm. I love the look and next in the pipeline should be lowering the ride. Getting Ray lock and lug nuts, ORO TPMS, Michelin PSS, car alarm and perhaps Blackvue car camera for security reasons.

Wheels- 5 x 114.3 x 7.5j. Offset 40
Tires - 225/45/R17

Big thanks to this forum for all rich information leading to my purchase of CU2 and doing up these mods. Cheers!

Thank you for your nice words. 6 pots BBK is gradual and easy to get used to. Braking is more more firm without being too aggressive. Ride on the whole feel more spirited during pick up. Some told me its due to the lighter rims while some say my right foot is going heavier on the pedal. Oh well, I'm a happy driver.

Anyone using BC BR Coilovers? Considering...

does anyone know how much does a new rear bumper cost? someone just bumped into me and leave a cracking hole!!

i believe they are around 700 to 900. Maybe bit more. might be more worth it to get the modulo one if you are gonna replace it. Depending on what color your car is, the color difference maybe noticeable especially on the red and white color.

any insurance claim? costed me $500 for the claim and $200 for the sports bumper.

does anyone know how much does a new rear bumper cost? someone just bumped into me and leave a cracking hole!!

my experience is to ask around various dealerships first, as they may have new bumpers sitting in their shops that were taken off cars that opt for modulo kits on delivery. If the dealer is reasonable enough, they may sell the whole bumper to you for much cheaper.

Are you running stock suspension?

If you're running stock suspension, those specs you'll have a bit of poke and look like a 4x4. If you plan to just lower it on springs, it should still be fine.

I'm running 19x8.5 +29 on 225/40/19 fronts and 19x9.5 +22 in 245/35/19 rear but I am lowered on coils with a lot of camber.

yeah. for now I'm running on stock suspension. so i just need to buy new springs? any brand or type that you reckon?
still noob in this thing. need to learn more about it.

can you show any pics?
thanks mate.

[euRo_noob]

Up to you what you want to buy. Springs VS coils. I chose coils over springs because I wanted the option where I could adjust the ride height whenever I wanted to. Not sure on what brands you could go with springs on the CU2 but Tein's are a well known brand and you can't go wrong with their parts.

Don't worry, we all start somewhere. Just read around and take your time with research before you purchase things. Best to get the right part the first time around to save you hassle/time/money.

I don't actually have pictures myself to show my fitment. I can only link you to pics that others have taken of my car and even those aren't head on shots. Think this is the best one I can find on Facebook that shows the fitment.

-6 rears (which will eventually be going back to -4 or so when I have the money) and -3 in the fronts.

Natural camber before I got the camber kits installed was -4.3 rears and -1.2 fronts.

[minhdung1911]

Hi, can the AP 6 potter BBK used on the CL7R be directly bolt onto the CU2? Planning to get a set of Advan RS (18x9 +45 5x114.3) awaiting for Worksop to confirm if the wheels fit. Thank you.

Hi mate. Just wondering how you are you going with getting those Advan RS. I'm planning to get a set of 18x8. Cheers. Tom.

[1six8]

sweet got my takeda within 4 days of buying thru amazon ... they used dhl express!

now with my EDFC ( thanks 1six8) will a tein authorised installer use the oem upper mount kit or should i purchase the edfc upper mount kit - bastard costs US$170!

Have you had any experience with a tein specialist?

hey...been away for awhile...looks like u finally got the kit....

as for the upper mount for the edfc kit...not needed....asked marcus from heel and toe and he said not needed and also the guys that installed it were authorised teins installers....just give the teins distribtor in ur area a call or the main one in sydney to direct u to a local authorised installer.

Just curious - how much did you get quoted for the rear bumper?

$550 man.

[I CU2]

$550 man.

Where are you getting it for $550? o.o

[ExpressCoffee]

Oh! Wreckers in sydney man! Definitely not new haha, but it may as well be in the condition it's in!

[I CU2]

Did you end up getting it? I don't know if I should get one or not...urgh. I think I prefer the standard bumpers, the Type S one is definitely the one I want!

[mrgu]

I can get genuine type s parts for cheap. Ready for pick up in may already got pedals

Yeah man! It looks so much nicer now!

I do like the type S CU2s i see from Russia but theres something about the modulo which makes it look more aggressive.

How and how much?

[I CU2]

I do like the type S CU2s i see from Russia but theres something about the modulo which makes it look more aggressive.


Yeah, the side mouldings makes it a bit too aggressive for me. I like the line that extends from the tail lights to the bottom of the bumper on the standard/Type S model. Hard choice if I should repair and repaint my scratched rear bumper for a few hundred or just purchase a Modulo one.

Fair enough,

Is this the 2nd time yours got hit? Or am I confusing you with another person? haha

What price difference are you looking at?

[I CU2]

Fair enough,

It's nothing bad, just a small scrape but getting it re-painted is about $300? A new bumper is $850? Just still border lining as to what to do.

Pretty hefty!!
Which CU2 do you have?

I'm under the impression you have a white lux with TE37's :p
Or is that someone else?

[MR_LATE]

it's a red cu2

[nxn75u]

Would definitely save up for a new modulo rear bumper than fixing it at $300. The finish will be different with resprayed bumpers.

[I CU2]

it's a red cu2

Mayytee you are some crazy as stalker. Yep, I think I did want to just get the modulo rear initially but then I want to save up for a new car too so it's all hard. I think I'll just live with the scrape for a bit. I'll just do some dodgy as touch up paint repair while I'm still deciding.

[TurBIce]

i want to get a thule fairing for the cu2.
what size would you guys recommend?

is it best to stick out a bit on the sides?

[XGen]

Finally got the car lowered and aero kit fitted. :D
Next is probably paint match the silver around the mugen grill. What do you guys think about doing that?

I have Magnaflow 14829 fitted. Inlet is 2.25 and outlet is 4" which i think is perfect fit to the bumper. Nice sound but still a bit quiet. Looking to run 2.5" piping from cat, replace the resonator and split to 2.25" to the mufflers.

It sounds much deeper in person, no rasp whatsoever. Cruising is great, not annoying at all. But it is still a bit quiet for my taste.

I dunno. I dont get to see many options around in terms of performance.
