Are you going to remove the resonator as well? The K&N is definately a worthwhile upgrade for those who aren't willing to install a CAI or SRI.

[nxn75u]

haha yay, grats!! My long lost twin :wave: Can't wait for piccies man :D

Oh i will post pics asap!!! so busy this easter that i haven got the time! hahaha....

furythree: hows the k&n filter? noticable gains? very interested too... coz installing a injen CAI is expensive and the car warranty issue is a headache with all the pinging issues and stuff.

[furythree]

resonator? isnt that for the exhaust? i wanted an SRI but im a bit short on cash and then i remembered that one of the reasons i wanted this car was cause of fuel efficiency. these days 1 months petrol is about the cost of a new intake. in the i settled with the filter


i didnt have time to put it in today (i know i know takes like 1 min to do) but i wanted to take pics and record the sound difference etc in one go. and bogged down today cause of easter. plus it rained.
maybe tommorrow if i have time

i also hate this new forum interface

Did you order it from the states or buy it from a distrubtor/resller in aus?

[furythree]

Did you order it from the states or buy it from a distrubtor/resller in aus?

i got it from the states on ebay. the seller didnt originally have it. but i msged him and he said he cud get it in. he was the only one who was willing or had decent shipping to aus and had or could get stock

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370349141256&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

i bought it with a friend who got one for his civic. combined shipping was only $6 extra for the extra item. bargain :)

nah man... no more parking outside... got booked once and towed once is more than enough for me :p

I'll see how "high" I can go with sidewaying first and hopefuly theres enough space after I lower the car

[nxn75u]

oh man got towed!!! i heard that the towing guys are kinda rough coz they dont really care about the car and the fornt are often scrapped. sad to hear that bro! you still have to get it lowered! park outside and fear towing or move to other apartments:p haha... jokes.

[furythree]

how much were the rims and tyres?

I bought it off a guy around 2.5k...

Would love to see the interface and to compare with genuine ones. If its as good i dont mind getting one...

thanks!;) love your modulo set though. You didnt get the modulo grille as well?

[kimnkk]

thanks!;) love your modulo set though. You didnt get the modulo grille as well?

Thanks :D I wasn't a huge fan of the modulo grill because i didn't think it fit in with the rest of the car, kind of makes it look too sporty i think! I guess it does what they intended though, maybe a little too well haha.

The J's Carbon Fibre roof fin just arrived today. I was looking at getting a normal one that looks like the Acura TSX antenna one but in the end opted for this one as its not much more than the other once paint matched and CF looks cool :p Will get some pics up :D

[nxn75u]

wow the carbon fibre roof fin... dont forget some pics... hahaha... do you happen to be the one ordering fujitsubo exhaust from JDM concept for cu2 as well?

[jks24]

this is a great thread

wish my parents would at least lower there CU2 and get a nice set of wheels

[nxn75u]

You can keep on trying to persuade them!:p

[denot]

Or, give them as anniversary present or something :p

[jks24]

haha yeah they wouldnt buy the luxary model they bought the base :(

I just hate how high they sit stock it looks terrible and also my parents whacked a spoiler on the back......looks tacky and cheap imo

[denot]

^^^ Hahaha, for me the standard one is a lot better than the lux. That is why I didnt buy the lux (that and coz my wife doesnt like cheapo leather seat :p)

[jks24]

why is the standard one better?

just my parents said they didnt want to spend the extra cash for the lux but then they went and spent like 5k or something on accessories for their base model

[nxn75u]

5k worth of accessories? what did your parents get? if its the modulo kits, it will look HAWT!

[jks24]

5k worth of accessories? what did your parents get? if its the modulo kits, it will look HAWT!

na they didnt get that they just got stupid shit

spoiler
front lip
headlight protectors
bonnet protectors
bumper/door strips
plastic behind the door handles
silver linings inside the door trims
mats
and then they got some paint protection which cost them like 1.5k :thumbdwn:

they still have the hide to tell me off for spending up on my EM1:(

[denot]

Well money wise I guess... $33k for a std auto or 40k lux auto, I dont think extra 7k is worthed for cheap leather, sunroof and ugly looking wood grain stuff. :p Note: this price is when I get mine at begin 2009.

oh ok they paid like 40kfor the base only had it 1month

[nxn75u]

Wow thats a lot of accessories spent on. I might consider getting the lux then if youre paying close to that. Owell each of their own taste and preference;)... U can ask them to get the kits coz some parents might like them. Like my mum, she likes a nice body kit to go with her car, and even rims too.:D

they were going to get side skirts but they cant cause of their stupid mud flaps

[nxn75u]

Sell the side skirts on ebay or gumtree or even here in the parts for sale section.. haha.. but I mean if your parents want mobility and hence i dont think getting it lowered would be a wise choice... Just get yours really low and it would do the trick!:p

[buddah51au]

oh ok they paid like 40kfor the base only had it 1month

Praja6 apparently just got a base model for 34,500, so i guess is comes down to shopping around for the best deal.

[nickxau]

yeh but I think jks24 means his parents paid $40k including the $5k accessories so therefore it's $35k without which is pretty similar.

[furythree]

u forget denot that the rims on the lux are better

in fact i like them so much i wont change them for a long time. they look particularly good at night when reflecting light

[nickxau]

"Better" in what sense? That they're bigger? That they reflect light at night? That the tires are harder to find? Not having a go at you, just wanna know how they're "better".

[kimnkk]

I guess we can argue that the lux is not worth it over standard all day long but it comes down to preferences. Some will prefer the ~$7k in their pockets while others prefer the features.

For me, its the features. The leather is better than the CL9 one and also not like the Mazda or subaru leather. It has other things as well, like 18" wheels, seat warmers, 8 way electric and memory seats, sunroof, auto dimming mirror, auto leveling xenons with washers and parking sensors front and rear.

[denot]

Hey mate, how much n where did u get the unit frm? Nicely done!!!

[escape27]

bought it from www.szutility.com (http://www.szutility.com) but DO NOT BUY from there.

recommended www.autodvdgps.com (http://www.autodvdgps.com)

paid USD773(device, rear view camera and shipping) but www.autodvdgps.com (http://www.autodvdgps.com) is bit cheaper

if you guys group buy it more cheaper as show on website.

[nxn75u]

That seems to be a reasonable price with shipping and rear view camera? how was the rear view camera? the one from honda is so good as i've been to one and even at pitch dark, we're still able to see very clearly and the angle was just right. My friend bought similar in built gps system and the camera wasnt working as good as expected. Very keen to know if its good. i'll get it! haha...

you can buy one for like $20 USD, cut it up to make it fit, fiberglass and repaint it or wrap it in cf vinyl for $30 USD

the roof spoiler i have came off a 08 civic si. just wrapped it cf vinyl

Hey Leo, what tyre brand/size did u use?

[BusterSonic12]

in regards to the LS460 tip, did you change the exhaust or is it just the rear bumper lip?


http://thefullpriceofferguys.com/lsmuff/Tsx2.jpg

[defconskylude]

in regards to the LS460 tip, did you change the exhaust or is it just the rear bumper lip?

the exhaust is still OEM. OEM rear bumper was cut to make the exhaust tips to fit.

[BusterSonic12]

the exhaust is still OEM. OEM rear bumper was cut to make the exhaust tips to fit.

would there be any problems with getting aftermarket exhaust after fitting those lips since it will be more restrictive (in term of space)? also where did you find those exhaust tips?

HELL NO!!!

what about when you got to take your car back in each year for a 'check up' (re-application) for $100+ or loose the so-called warranty?

Just buy a sealant yourself.....

You can buy a whole car detailing kit including the polisher for that cost! ;)

Agreed.All that aftermarket protection crap they try to sell you after you signup is to try and get more profit out of the deal.It's all way overpriced.

[tony1234]

So what does it cover???????

[buddah51au]

Another customer sucked in by a salesman. Hopefully he will learn from his expensive mistake. At least the salesman got a little bonus in his pay packet....lol

[furythree]

ok guys, i noe i posted that i bought the K&N air filter for the CU2 like a month ago. but ive been super busy and lazy to even pop the hood (or wash the car for that matter) and install the damn thing
after i finished uni today, since ive left it in my boot for the whole time, i decided to install it and test it before i get my service soon.

ok the trip back home was peak hour, so tons of start stop traffic at all sorts of hilly inclines. there were plenty of long stretches of traffic free road as well. then when i got to my house i drove around the block a bit. fortunately for me, the block my house sits on is on the side of a hill. at the top of the hill is a long flat road. there are two REALLY steep inclines leading to the bottom of the hill where my house is. so i drove up and down the hill from standstill. and tested it on the flat road too.

conclusion?

THIS THING IS THE F**ING BOMB YO! XD :D:D:D

i noe its just an air filter. but just physically, its only half the thickness of the OEM ones. The quality is amazing and as u know its reuseable.

I didnt expect to notice anything different, but there was noticeable more engine growl and THROTTLE RESPONSE IS AMAZING! I even tested it with the aircon on, which usually sucks half the power away, and yep its alot better. My cu2 revs so much better now.

best $60 ive ever spent!

[furythree]

^^^ and now fury.... take that off and move on to Typhoon!
http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=69-0026TS

wtf isnt that just a CAI.
how much is it.

id rather just get the injen since its designed specifically for the euro



btw last night after 24kms of driving with light friday night traffic, highway, start stop and hilly roads. averaged about 8L /100km
previously, 10.5L/100km normal day to day driving

with the air filter and maniacal driving and acceleration touretts, i get about 12L/100km. i swear having the air filter uses more fuel, prolly cause it revs harder

but today, carrying on from last night, total of about 74kms driven. averaged 9L/100km fuel consumption. using ultra fuel conservative driving style. no hard revving or accelerating. not that bad except id go crazy being on edge driving like that everyday.

[denot]

Lol injen is a us company. Their cu2's cai is deaigned for tsx. Since there is no diff between tsx n cu2, dats why cu2 can use it. Same as this k&n SRI.

[furythree]

which is cheaper
thought k&n is US too

btw i am so sad
my dad close the garage door on my car
luckily it hit my wing spoiler and i braked quickly
shaved off a thin layer off the top of my spoiler
u can see scratches and that the paint is duller.
the scratches are white, and not that deep (because the door had a rubber lining but some metal bits)

sigh so depressed. at least i have an excuse to get a mugen wing now lol

$500 is like half price from the ebay one i saw.

if only i knew how to buy from alibaba.com

bit gay that we cant do group buys here because they only require min 5 sets

and they only cost $200-250 for a set of replicas + shipping

and i even found a mugen replica
http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/109934929/body_kit_of_Accord_CU2_JSP.html

*edit* i sent them an inquiry about the product to see if they can ship 1 sample and if they do the mugen replicas. fingers crossed
if i have to buy 5 quantities, am i allowed to "asK' if anybody wasnt to buy the other 4 off me on this forum. without coming across as a group buy since its already bought. i remember u need some credentials to be able to sell here

[furythree]

woot they got back to me already

its only $90 something for a mugen mesh grill replica with carbon fibre top (the acura tsx grill but cf)
and $290-$300 for the type S kit, primed, no colour.
Thats CHEAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

anyone know if id have to pay stamp duty and gst for something like this.

i asked them for a sample. but obviously its cheaper if u buy 5.


*edit*
omg it must be christmas or something

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!! XD

http://www.jspec.com.sg/product_detail.php?product=190

material is PP (Polypropylene)

and the type S is PU Polyeurothane. Which i heard is good. but i dont know anythign about PP?

*edit 2*

i knew thered be a catch somewhere, for the first supplier, the Type S bodykit price is cheap
but shipping is $492 USD door to door shipping via DHL.....WTF YO!! thats more expensive than the kit + grill together!
they said that i can provide my own shipping agent to pickup from them.

But they said that that is already teh cheapest price out of TNT DHl and UPS

does any1 know who else provides shipping services that are cheap? i thought hong kong post had their own service

otehrwise i m gunna have to ship to china and get relos to organise shipping.
im torn whether to get the mugen grill as well. its only $90 but i like the stock grill.

$25 - $30 i believe

LOL, i ended up getting that paint protection as well as full window tinting (darkest legal tint) for only $1050 on top of buying my CU2, at first the blonde said to me she'll do it for $1,550, and to live up the Asian stereotype, i asked for a discount and make it $1000 since it was my "first car", the girl says ok let me check with my boss, comes out and says "$1050!" I say "what's the 50 for?", She says "G.S.T". So i accepted the offer, and got a nice kiss from her on the cheek on the way out to go home. Honda Marketers these days are so smart.

[furythree]

I believe u got ripped off, ppl have said here agian and again that the paint protection isnt worth it.



lol i think this is a special neon grill kit for cu2

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/--GOSd5YnNU/

window tinting is only like $300

i believe the kiss was a thankyou for the $300 commission she just made off u

[praja6]

hmmm remember furythree i told you that i had some entertainment with the guy at rick damelian(hmm wondering why it was guy he was very slow in talking saying hmmm hmm, you seems tight budget ah atleast 10times with that 35mins) not a chick, but there was a nice chick also tried to sell me finance and honda insurance)...he started all those protction package(paint protection, underguard rust, vynal you name all these mate)said normally worth 3500, only for you as you are a special customer 2500, He was showing some nice pictures with rusty 10yrs old car pic, and shiny car pic and show me a demo wooo)i said replied as hmmm it seems interesting, but i dont want it......then he said how about pait protection for 1200...I said no thanks.. Then he said as i am buying a good quality car he wanted to makesure i get the best service to lookafter me from skin cancer(for windows tine,oh god these people seems using all sort of medical reasons to sell these things)with tint and also to protect your nice car paint from acid rain....he said if i pay paint protection for 790, he can give tint for just extra 1 and extra 1 for matt...I said again thanks mate for your concern on my health.. I got a mate knows how to do these things its already getting 5.15pm i need to travel far home...Then that guy said ahh its already 35mins gone ah....Then we just walked away..

What i am trying to tell here is, the paint protection may helpful i dont know...But i park in garage so i didnt want it.....Plus just think logically, i never seen someone reduce the price for the thing suddenly from 3500 to 2500 then 1200 to 790 plus extra 1 for tinting......What does this shows... Just say if anyone got the full package for 2500 just imagine how much profit they are getting instantly(or try to get the money back which i got the car cheap from haggling from salesguy)...

Just curiously is here any detailer here, can tell how much excatly cost from pocket to do the high quality paint protection, rust underguard protecion and vynal protection...

[Type R Positive]

Just curiously is here any detailer here, can tell how much excatly cost from pocket to do the high quality paint protection, rust underguard protecion and vynal protection...
Car detailers charge about $400 for glare infinity plus (glassplexin) paint protection application with a paint correction and full detail, which is what the car dealers use.
This glare infinity plus costs about $70 to buy a bottle.

[praja6]

How many types of paint protection there. I heard something cheap one call teflon based one and other one is nano one something...Ahh i forgot that guy in rick said the paint protection is from Honda not from 3rd party.. I never heard Honda does paint protection as genuine accessory.. Well if it 400 for those imagine they got instant profit 300....as they guy finally said for 790

[furythree]

guys would anyone be interested in buying a type S front lip and side skirt replica and mugen rear lip off me if i went ahead with my bodykit purchase? i really want the type S rear bumper with the mugen sides and front.
but the stupid supplier is quoting me half the price of the whole kit just for the single rear bumper alone, because hes obviously not making enough profit selling single parts. i am going to buy the mugen replica either way. but the fact that the rear bumper is jacked up to half the price, (even tho it is already ridiculosuly cheap lol) makes me hard to justify the purchase.
i believe it is primed no colour and polyeurothane.

im just probing to see if i can offload a perfectly good part to sum1 for a purchase im going to make either way.

its going to cost roughly $300 min for that set

and mods, not this isnt a group buy. and im not really selling anything cause its not on hand yet.

i just feel that the money saved would be better spent on fitament and paint. and sum1 else wud benefit with a cheap kit themselves. and we cud both drive around with inverse bodykits lol

otherwise its just mugen replica only
and im just thinking whether i shud get the grill or not

alot of people have said that its not that great. and i personally like the oem grill, particulary the honda badge.
but its only $90 lol

[denot]

LOL 1,050 for Honda paint protection and what this? Tint? I got tint, reverse parking sensor and matt for free when I purchased my CU2. Oh and its the 'darkest legal tint' as well... which basically saying 35% dark cheap ass tint film. Anyway, I was soooo lucky to bring my wife when I sign the deal, otherwise I might get "persuaded" by the hot chick who trying to sell me her teflon... I mean, teflon paint protection... :p

Furry, just a suggestion:

watch out for the delivery, stamp duty, etc etc cost mate. dont be like a lil kid wanting to buy new toy. Check with shipping company here or even post office, and find out what other cost you need to pay to import the stuff...

[chunsa]

When I got my new car they didn't even bother me with paint protection! Choose car, negotiate price, sign and off we went :P

As Denot said, look out for duties, etc. Also another thing to consider is payment. You need to get Letter of Credit at a bank which is another % on top (can't think of the exact %) that you pay so you have some protection. e.g. you pay them they say they shipped it and then it doesn't arrive. Whereas with the LoC, the bank will only pay once you get the goods.

I'm just cautious of fitment from China :/

[denot]

^^^ so true... might want to ask if they have paypal or not :)

[chunsa]

I know the Type S supplier from Ali Baba does Paypal (for samples) but they want you to pay for their PayPal fees on top of the agreed amount. Either way for some protection you need to add another % on top!

[furythree]

yeh they accept paypal so i can always make a paypal claim if there was any issues.

either way if u think about it $300 for a mugen replica for a cu2. its rare enough as it is, this is great value! And since im paying via paypal, im gunna make a claim if it doesnt fit. lol
I heard that u can adjust them to make them fit. how does that even work.
anyway. even if currency conversion and fees and $45 delivery (im getting it shipped to china, where my dad is gunna bring it back. im sure two 1.7m, 6kg boxes are fine to check in as luggage right?)
considering that the guy here was selling for $500 plus delievery for type S. i think this is good value since im getting mugen and its $100 cheaper.

if someone is willing to buy the rear lip kit off me, then i can even buy the type S rear lip. the person is charging $130usd for the lip. which is a rip, but i think i saw the lip being sold for $100 or under somewhere else.

do u guys think its a good idea to get rims from china as well, i might as well go for springs and exhaust while im at it.
its like $300-500 for a set of each. i just dunno whether branded stuff is cheap in china, or go for no branded stuff.
i saw some cat back systems. but i dont think they are branded. so probably wont risk it. but the rims are temptig. there are so many choices.

[nxn75u]

I know its very tempting to get rims from home country due to the low prices, but do think about the shipment cost which will amount to be the same price of your rims if not more. I used to consider shipping rims from Indonesia myself but the shipment costs, duties and customs fee set me back. Still its a personal choice though.

hey euros, nice meeting you.. yea im indo... I got my rims from a trader here, JDM Concept... Couldnt justify paying more for the shipment which will cost $500, excluding custom fees and other charges. But if i were able to get better deals in shipment or able to ship more at a time, then i would definitely go for rims in Indo.

My specs are 20's rims with 245/35/20...

[Lemonhead]

I have had experience importing a front spoiler and a set a rims from oversea before (for an old BM). And regardless of what value myself or the seller quoted, the Australian custom put an extra $150 on the spoiler and $800 on the wheelsx4. They insist that was their best estimate on the value of the parts.... man.... that was painful. (not to mention the postage of the wheels all the way from Germany.

[Razer]

Hey guys, was just reading this thread when I came across some of you guys talking about import taxes and stuff. I currently have a bodykit pending shipment to Aus. A logistics company is doing it for me, and they just gave me a price that I had to pay. Does that include the duties that all of you mentioned? My bodykit is second hand by the way the the REAL VALUE is actually very cheap....Now im worried that they are going to tax me heaps since they're already charging me $500 to ship it in. Also I was planning to get some rims overseas soon, and they're about 700AUD for the set of 4? How much you think that will set me back then?? If not then I guess i'll have to live with stockies until I have more mula..

so what was the real value of the kit that they wud tax u $150? Even say 10% tax, for $150 mean they estimated it to be $1500??

last time i imported a mugen visor. It cost me around $300. i didnt want insurance so lying about the value wudnt have mattered either way. The seller was nice enough to offer 2 receipts. one was the real one, hidden away. and the other was the "low value receipt for import purposes". He put the value as $50 and placed it near the outside of the box so that customs could check against the tax invoice if they ever doubted me.
I didnt ask them to do this, they just emailed me two copies of these receipts right after paying.
I thought that was really nice and smart of them.
maybe to avoid having customs slap on extra taxes is to have a receipt proving the value. they cant really argue against that. I have heard that they have their own auditors who value the goods and check invoices, but i know with limited resources, they only do this for high value goods, which basically means business imports. If its just one item, they wont check. and the dude on the other end will just confirm that its low value anyway.

Does anyone know however, what the actual import tax conditions are? like i know for computers, as long as its under $1000, theres no tax. But for car parts is there a threshold like that?

type S kit
http://www.jspec.com.sg/product_detail.php?product=190
Mugen Kit

Mugen kit was quoted to be $350 USD.
Shipping was $200USD roughly

expect the type S to be cheaper, maybe $300. i didnt ask.

making it $550 to import a full kit. thats a freakin bargain considering it has taken me over 1 year just to find anybody who even has ANY kits for the CU2, let alone mugen ones.

The real icing on the cake is that they even told me....


.....THEY HAVE THE MUGEN HIGH WING SPOILER! XD
all other sellers are selling the ducktail. prices range from $30 - 100

i know alot of u dont like it. but have you seen Sanyuh's blue modulo/mugen crossed cu2. its so smexy!
the price is $180
but im trying to negotiate it down.

THe thing is, do you guys think i should get it. I already have a modulo wing, (which my dad lightly grazed the protective layer off a section of, nothing major, but its not brand new anymore, lowering resale value...not that theres a market for it anyway). However, the mugen wing doesnt have brake lights like the modulo one does.
on the other hand, i think it looks awesome, and you guys know how rice i am. and rrp for genuine is well over $400usd plus shipping. $180 is a bargainnnnn considering the duck lips sell for half that price.

thoguths suggestions? i cant decide!

btw they are located in singapore and accept paypal (buyer protection :) ) and the kits are made of primed polyeurethane.

Get what you want champ! The high wing looks good on a lowered car with mags. The red mugen car looks sexxx.

polyeurethane FTW! I might just have to get the mugen kit with the duckbill spoiler!

thanks
i was thinking that too, as much as i like the mugen wing, my car isnt lowered, so i dont think it will look as good. and its gunna be a while till i can afford some springs and new rims, which is why i was looking at the importing option. Everyone seems to be going for eibach springs, are they the best or something? i read it was around $350 ish for a set. any alternatives? do u need to get shocks as well?

im gunna end up with oem grille, mugen front and sides, mugen visors, modulo wing and type S back. Lolz finally the stickers can come off at the back and the mugen one is justified for me to have on XD


also, i know theres no group buys here, but since most of you guys seem to know each other really well, im sure u can arrange something off-forum. if u get 5 kits, the price drops to something ridiculously cheap like $280.

[Lemonhead]

[QUOTE=furythree;2766398]so what was the real value of the kit that they wud tax u $150? Even say 10% tax, for $150 mean they estimated it to be $1500??

furythree: those front spoiler officially costs ~750aus ... from UK.. from memory.. the Custom got one GST component and one Import-Tax component that made up the $150. I got an invoice directly from DHL and it had to be paid before I could pick up the spoiler. Not just the 10% more.

I like the Type S-rear spoiler the best.. post some pics once your dream car is put together.

eibach have great reputation. they are about $600 or so a set here in Aust, but yes, import them for huge saving! They will work with the oem shocks, I haven't read of the shocks blowing out like on the cl9's.
I'm sure there is other springs available, but I haven't really looked.

Cheap kit, might be seriously interested........... I'm broke at the moment, but my car needs a bit of work.

where are ebach officially made? japan? wud china still be the cheapest place to source them?

what i meant was, springs are all u need to lower a car right? the shocks dont affect the height?

also what are genuine mugen parts usually made of if not polyeurothane?

[Type R Positive]

I would say China = fake for Eibach. They are made in Germany or USA. USA seems to be the cheapest, but check price with Eibach Aust first.
Yeah, springs for lowering. Eibach lowers about 1" on our car, which is all I'd go anyway.
Don't know for Mugen, but i think polyeurothane.

[denot]

If you want real eibach, they supplier is here on Princess Hwy (heismann or something). I think they made in USA. I agree with the others furry, to have the big ass spoiler, you will need a bigger rims and lowered car first. I decide to use Type R wing on my FD2 before, with 18" rims but not lowered and regret it... should've spend money on lowering first :)

[furythree]

wait $600 to lower 1"? seriously??? can u even notice the difference? the problem is i feel like my car is barely clearing speed humps and such these days. so that makes me think twice about lowering. i can just get my whole family to sit in my car. that will lower it by 1" for free.
i thought some guys here lower it more than 1" particularly the back since it sits so high

This CU2 is heaps lower than my CL9 was....

[furythree]

yeh but the wheel arcs are so big lol

[buddah51au]

All I can say is if you lower a CU2, stay of rural "B" class roads. Many times I have scraped the plastic wind deflectors located in front of the front wheels & thats with standard height suspension

[furythree]

oh is that wat they are? u mean that long mud guard looking piece of rubber behind the front lip? i scrape that bugger 2 times a month. mainly driving over bumps too fast. shit myself everytime because of the scary sound it makes "oh shit i just scraped my lip". i go out and check and the car is fine lol.

im gunna like stick rubber or something under the lip of the kit when i get it. so scared of scrapage. crackage you cant help. at least scrapes u can prevent.

[Type R Positive]

I got scrapage on my front bumper underneath....

[euroRwannabe]

I got scrapage on my front bumper underneath....

omg dude, i feel your pain, my scrape is on the right hand side under neath the bumper, my drive way is too un-even, and on a stock suspension managed to scrape it...

[mugen_86]

I have put eibach pro kit for my CU2 which make my car drop about 4mm for the rear and the front you cant really notice it. but you will feel big difference on handling. you get more grip on the road. but eibach spring more bumpy than the original

[chunsa]

The rear of my car is scraped :( Can't conquer that mounties speed hump and driveway and mine's not even lowered.

[Dilan]

I always enter my driveway on a slight angle to the driveway and at a slow pace otherwise I hear the awful and painful sound of scrapage! It's mainly that plastic wind deflector/guard thing that scrapes. Don't even want to know what it would be like if it was lowered

hey guys, i was wondering, has anyone here, thought of, or has de-badged their CU2 and put a red 'H' badge yet?

i've always dreamed of doing it, when i had a silver CL9, just like EUR003 did, it didn't seem like hard work (just needed an EP3 Civic Type R Badge and a Euro R Sports Grille for the Front and a DC5R Badge for Rear).

But now that i got a Black CU2, i was wondering is it possible?
What Size Badges do i Need to replace em, and is it possible to de-badge the silver H badge off the stock Grille on the CU2 (3 Silver Bars Grille)?

If someone gets any info please post it up, or pm me please. And i will experiment and post photos up.

Thanks Everyone.

lol i thought this would be usefull to someone since there are so many "where can i get mugen for cu2...omfg its so expensive" threads

also i found out the wing is a g8 (the normal accord) mugen wing. they look alike but i know there are slight differences. they told me they are testing it on the cu2 and will get back to me

my mates dad works for honda. he tried to get me some free badges but apparently he said that they didnt have any red ones for cu2. and i know the sizes are a bit different.

that being said we have seen photos of the russian euros with red badges front and back so i have no idea..
in terms of removing them, theyre attatched via tape (so use heatgun) and the antitheft clips. so i think u need to access it by removing the grill and behind the bootlid

[euroRwannabe]

hmmm, very tempting to "JDM my CU2" but still not enough information to do it...

need to know which size Red 'H' Badge i need to order in from JDM yard/concept.
"Size" meaning, which red badge will fit on the CU2 eg. (Wild Guess): EP3 Civic Type R Badge (Front) and Integra DC5 Type R Badge (Rear)

don't mean to be selfish or anything, but i'll only do it if someone else does it first, don't wanna waste my money by ordering in the wrong badges..

[mugen_86]

The Mugen replica is very rare to get. I think no one even make the mugen replica for cu2. Last time the Mugen grill already cost me alot. also you have to cut the original grill to take the mounting out of it... lolz better get PU bodykit. I think it looks alright heheh accept for the rear lips :((

thanks for the link nesterjester.

I noticed that is his other listing, there is a white accord with a horizontal strips like grill, does anyone know who makes this grill? or is it a custom job from the OEM grill?

here is the link : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130399783750&fromMakeTrack=true

[chunsa]

I think it's just the OEM grill with the middle section cut out and painted.

[Lemonhead]

yes, i think you are right. i got a white Euro myself too, that grill looks great in white, but i do prefer to keep the honda badge, maybe las mentioned in previous replies, if i can fin a red badge to sit in the middle of that custom grill, that will look even better i think... lets do some searching....

btw anyone know any good paintshops in brissie?
hey nester how much did u pay for it? when i linked it to his ebay listing last time he was charging $990 but with 10% off
btw the kit is the exact same as the one i linked to u noe that? i think he sourced it from alibaba dealer cause i think even the jspec guys sourced it from alibaba. the alibaba dealers seem to be the ACTUAL manufacturers of the kits, theyre located in the car part manufacturing area in shenzhen china lolz. nuff said
u cudve saved a fair bit just importing it. like $400


also as an FYI guys, if u like that grille he's selling, and if thats the only mod u want to get. then get it from paul because i think shipping + grill is going to be more than $200 so its simpler and cheaper.

however if u intend to buy from the suppliers, i think they bundle in the grill into the shipping, so ur only paying $90 for the grill and prob $10 difference in shipping, shipped DHL to ur door

the only reason i didnt get it is cause i prefer a matte finish for carbon fiber (or a glossy one with very bright silver CF) using vinyl will just ruin the fact that its ACTUALLY CF. also the border around the edges is black, my euro is grey so the white strip we have around the grill looks really awesome.
But thats something a little paint could always fix. plus i adore the oem grill, the mugen grill is really just a wider (vertically) version of the acura grill in CF and mugen badged really

[mugen_86]

type S kit look so much better... did Paul also have this kit on stock i migh get it from him... :) look gorgeous

Yeh thats the same as the russian custom grille. You can DIY by cutting the middle section of ur oem one and painting it. but i admit the white is damn nice



what i want to know is WHERE HE GOT THAT BONNET FROM! THATS SO SXC!!!

http://i.ebayimg.com/13/!Bv0yimw!2k~$(KGrHqYOKiYEvv+I+Eq8BMGMKpE2fQ~~_12.J PG

I think it's just the OEM grill with the middle section cut out and painted.

the funny thing is when i went to compare it to the oem sizing, its actually different. i think its actually custom grille. cept i cant find it

the last two pics are the mugen rear lip nester the Type S is different, has that nice section in the middle

[furythree]

type S kit look so much better... did Paul also have this kit on stock i migh get it from him... :) look gorgeous


why pay $990 when u can get it for $500....

[chunsa]

Wow if it really is custom made then they went to some great length doing it very similarly to OEM! Noticed they love their mesh in Russia.

I'm guessing that bonnet just has a bonnet protector like those Civic ones but in white? Russians are definitely ahead in modifying CU2's.

[nesterjester]

Cheers furythree just realize I uploaded the pics of the mugen rear lip no the type s
I actually got the kit cheap cos he put the kit as an auction for $500 so I was pretty lucky as I picked it ip as well
I will defs post up pics when I get it painted n fitted

I just noticed that that grille is just a modified version of the oem grille
not too sure how good it would look on cbp

but do recommend going through Paul he has quit a few still in stock n all are in packaging

haven't had much to do with PU bodykits and I mist say they r definately got some flex to it

I personally don't mind the type s rear lip
it's agressive and it's unique

cant wait to see ur bodykit mate heheh all the best with it :) this is the difference between paul grill and mugen grill :)

from what i see, looks like the stock grille, except he sawwed off the middle bar which is also attached to the H badge in the centre, and painted the two left over silver bars black, and then it looks like he meshed the back.

ok nesterjester, I think i'm gonna have to call you my new best friend, HOW THE HELL DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS!?

OK, i'm gonna have to agree with you on the experimented Grille above with a JDM Red "H" Badge, it most likely would look a tad crowded due to the top and bottom bar already looking close.
Now keep in mind that i own a Black CU2.
My plans are either getting the Modulo Grille (Image stolen from Google because the JDM Concept website crashed, couldn't post up the part link from there, apologies if the car belongs to you): http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pDxqkvz-a_lPM-G2fcGhgNuPaoaVnjezmf0d9WnFYSg_OaJBWPdBLUprXv1QbZ9h 46CkmSNbIeB4XG91wsRgiDQ/front.JPG
and chucking the JDM Red 'H' Badge on that. (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290444721472)
OR
gonna do some of my own experiments on the OEM Grille, that is, re-paint the entire grille black (3 silver bars), de-badge the silver 'H' badge some how, and putting the JDM Red 'H' Badge on there.

Hopefully that all works out.

But still going to take a while, Need some CASH!

I am only 18, first year uni and job-less, :(

[euroRwannabe]

wat is it

lol fury, it's a replacement piece which covers the signature amber/orange indicators of the CU2, notice how it's all white.

[nesterjester]

ok nesterjester, I think i'm gonna have to call you my new best friend, HOW THE HELL DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS!?



hhaha find them a bit here there everywhere

i reckon the type r badge would go well with cbp as well as most of the other colors

i myself have cbp ... and had a look at the mugen grille on a cbp ...
doesnt look too bad ...

[Lemonhead]

guys, i have been so excited with all the post and pics that have been posted so far with that custom OEM front grill, so I went to Honda and got myself a 'spare' grill. I got a real shock when I was quoted nearly $600 for the whole front grill set up - chrome, black plastics frame and the badge... but then amazingly, the parts people managed to find one that was taken off a recent new car when the guy got the Modulo front grill option, and they sold it to me for only $100. Better go and ask your local friendly parts/dealers quickly for a cheap deal!!!

[euroRwannabe]

hey denot, from what i see on your avatar image, it looks like your three silver bars on your OEM grill is black, did you do that yourself, or did you buy it from somewhere.

does anyone know how much it costs to get bodykits painted? and where i might go to get it done? i have a family friend who can install but he doesnt paint

[mugen_86]

furythree to paint your body kits every shop have different price range estimate price around $1200- $1800. Also depending how big is your body kits. Make sure you search around before you painted. cheap price mean shit job hehehe. You get what you paid for... :p

Does anyone looking to buy eibach pro kit spring? for Accord Euro 09-10 :)

hey guys, a random performance question.

alot of my friends have been getting mufflers onto their cars.

they all have single outlet exhuasts (R34 Skylines, EK1 Civic, EP3 Civic, Prelude etc.)
whereas we CU2's have dual outlet exhausts.

If i were to buy a universal bolt on muffler for the CU2 just for a nice sounding deep roar, would i have to order two of the same muffler since the CU2 has two outlets,
or i have the COMPLETE wrong idea LOL.

It would be very interesting to see how noisy that system is. Hopefully a sound clip can be added in the future. Personally i can't see there would be much to gain performance wise.

is there another way of getting the same sound as that by just installing mufflers?
if so what mufflers?

Your not wrong euroR, lets call it 1900 bucks for a tiny gain above 4000RPM. Very little time is spent at those revs unless your at a track day.

Hmmm A6 is bigger and the front is different to A4 though (that is why i dont like the A6) but the gadgets inside is awesome!

[hondar]

Your not wrong euroR, lets call it 1900 bucks for a tiny gain above 4000RPM. Very little time is spent at those revs unless your at a track day.

well put this way, a lot of people modify car not just performance gain. with this exhaust, people go for looks and sounds. i mean this is something is just not for everyone i suppose. some dont mind putting and some will. this is very natural occurace

some people will buy $1800 Louis Vuitton handbag and some wont. Functionality wise it is no different to your say $50 handbag. perhaps a $50 handbag can even carry more stuff (if space is the main reason you are buying a bag)

however as euroR pointed out himself, it doesnt stop him to have the desire to wanting to own one as he likes the sound of the muffler. fair enough it is not a cheap muffler but this is how fujitsubo price it, 111500 yen (about AUS$1500 exluding tax, duty and shipping cost to australia).

surprisingly in terms of sales wise, this exhaust was so popular that it was back order in japan for a while

in regards to gain, most exhaust gain will be above 4000rpm generally just because we talk about honda cars. it doesnt matter if you are driving FN2R, DC2, FD just as honda engine is to perform at high end and save petrol consumption at low end (thats why they created vtec that only use half of the engine at low rpm that consume half of the petrol consumption, and when people say it hit "VTec" thats when it is running at its full capacity)

buddah51au, i am not trying to run you down as you pointed out it is little gain for for $1900 but just sharing another perspective that people do buy exhaust with other factors in mind. if you have nice cars with bodykit, wheels, it just doesnt feel complete without an exhaust with nice tone and good looking if you know what i mean :D

there is another company in japan that make them. mugen make them but the cost is $2735 landed. they are retailed at 180000yen (about $2395 excluding gst, duty and shipping cost)

[buddah51au]

Denot, the A6 is definitely a step up from the A4 & as you say it has all the gadgets which is fine while there working. When you run into problems you will need a Bank Vault to fix it & believe me, Audi's have more than their share of problems.

As for the C200.......no no no no, you need to go to at least the V6 in either petrol or preferably diesel.

You could also look at a BMW 6 cyl which would be my choice in the class of cars you mentioned, once again their Diesel gets rave reviews.

[buddah51au]

I agree with your comments & the system sounds great. I also know & understand we need to pay for quality. Realistically, my comments were based on every day driving where very few of us would venture beyond 4000RPM, & then it would only be for very brief periods of time.

VERY VERY NICE! Makes me want to get the High Wing Spoiler now!
Not sure where you can get the Aero "Bonnet", i googled it, and it sure does look nice.
But not many pictures of CU2's with Aero Bonnet's came up.

VERY CLEAN. Keep it up!

P.S: where about's are you from in Melbourne.

So nice. By the way what are the rims that you got there? and where did you get the spoiler?

[me_kevinly]

that blue CU2 is nice, does it have the mugen kit?

[nxn75u]

I believe thats the modulo aero kit plus the mugen wing..

[buddah51au]

I am a fan of the Modulo Aero kit, but that rear wing is too over the top for my liking on a CU2. I think the reap lip spoiler is enough, but we all have different tastes.

[Type R Positive]

but we all have different tastes.
Oh, but we do! We all love the CU2!!! :cool:

[buddah51au]

Your not wrong Type R, we have to get together now & give Deno heaps for getting a C200 merc. He has gained a 3 pointed star & a few luxuries, but lost out on handling & performance. He became an old man before his time.......lol. Either that or he has been getting heaps of Botox injections on the side & died his hair so that he looks younger than he is

[denot]

Lol!!! Shush buddah!!! XD but i technically still driving the cu2 every now n day :p

[euroRwannabe]

So nice. By the way what are the rims that you got there? and where did you get the spoiler?

not sure what those rims are, but the spoiler is the "Mugen Rear Wing".
You can order it from JDM Concept Website here:
