Looks good mate but did the shop know that the part was missing? If they did, they shouldn't of installed it in the first place.

nopes, didnt know it was missing til we installing it. and by that time we already took off the original springs so we can use the oem mounts.
so we just installed it because we didnt have a spring compressor machine to put back the oem shocks n springs together,
The fronts are loaded up pretty hard. so it can try to hold the spring tighter.

the ride quality isnt too bad. I can still go over speed humps easily which was surprising. i did a test on chatswood westfield carpark. n no scrap or anything going up the ramps. so im happy with that.

i might raise it to 2 finger gaps tho. 10mm more, coz im prety sure over time it will drop abit more. and this will be a daily.

[TurBIce]

looks so nice
im still waiting for a tracking number for my tein springs, the seller hasnt responded for a week. getting worried. but theyre closed fri - sun so have to try to contac tthem again on monday. sigh thank god i paid via paypal

thanks fury,
hope you get a reply soon.

dd you pay for priority mail?

[furythree]

i got a reply today
(took them a whole week to ship it out wtf)
its via ups, but for some reason the tracking website says:
Last Location:
Arrived - Philadelphia, PA, United States, Friday, 01/07/2011

Horsham, PA, United States 01/07/2011 11:02 P.M. Departure Scan
01/07/2011 9:40 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 01/07/2011 5:49 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

sooo...i have no idea why it got moved from horsham to philly, hopefully its like a centralisation movement to be flown overseas.

and my address is written as "Suburb, Au" no state :S hope it still gets here ok
ive contacted the seller to make sure its all good cause the UPS website allows for the sender to update the delivery address before it arrives.

fingers crossed. so excited tho! XD

[TurBIce]

I msg another dealer also heeltoe, he says the kit ment to have only 2 rings. liek what i have. and generally at the fronts.

seems weird tho. didnt get 4 thou the manual says installed fronst n rears~~~

Yo TurBice....i have fiddled around with my headlight this afternoon and...here's how it goes..
in that picture, that is the adjustment knob. Use a 5mm socket and twist it:

Clockwise brings the beam down
Anti-Clockwise brings the beam up <---this is that you will need to do to bring the beam to shine back up

Playaround with the adjustment until you think it is reasonably shining far enough. Make sure you are parked on level ground and adjust both sides so they form an even horizontal line
:)

[furythree]

hey guys i saw in the internet that u can look under ur hood or something and find a paint code, with which u can take to autobarn and they can make a spray can with the exact same paint colour for resprays?

ive got like door scrapes on four doors on my car, and its getting pretty unbearable for me. the touch up paint brush is too coarse so the touch up area is darker and extremely noticeable.

any1 know if this is true? and will the paint be metallic etc? do i need this thing called primer or something?

fury - i have definitely used the matched spray paint from Autobarn before for my White Pearl Euro (with the pearl and metallic effect). Result was acceptable. I think you will need a primer only if you can see bare metal. good luck with the repairs.

lol sorry i've been too busy lately...especially helping out with the floods around BNE/work. Anyways good to hear you got ur springs + the rear lip off Paul Fury! wooo :D
Looking forward to seeing them put to the test :).

btw if you want the colour codes:
BU - [NH743M] Buran silver metallic
CB - [NH731P] Crystal black pearl
PO - [NH737M] Polished metal metallic
CW - [NH624P] Premium white pearl

Hope that helps :).

I haven't personally got Autobarn to spray stuff for me but I know they sell colour-matching paint in the spray cans (for smaller quantity). I'm probably not gonna go with Autobarn coz I have a mate in the signage industry and has connections to get Genuine Honda paint :P. I think I'm gonna be getting the Modulo rear bumper soon, once I figure out what car I want to replace my daily driver with...Also building a new pc to replace my current one...just too tied up with things lately!...Need to conserve money :(( Otherwise I'd be finished with doing all the things to my Euro by now! I've still yet to tint the car. Haven't driven my Euro much lately, still haven't reached the 10k mark! lol

Nice one can't wait to c how it looks

[furythree]

lol i had a thought about how it would look. chances are u wont even notice any changes. i showed my gf a mugen cu2 and compared it to my stock. and she was like "i dont see any difference, do u really need to spend money :\"

[TurBIce]

I still have not had a chance to try adjust my headlights yet,
Hope i have time tonight.

HAHA, yea. girls are like that. i was like. look. my cars lower! looks nicer now.

She says" looks the same, how much did you pay for making it lower?"

[furythree]

She says" looks the same, how much did you pay for making it lower?"

LOL!!! i just know she is going to say the exact same thing!

do let us know how much u had to rotate the knob to get the adjustment right

how much did u lower the car by again?

[TurBIce]

LOL!!! i just know she is going to say the exact same thing!

do let us know how much u had to rotate the knob to get the adjustment right

how much did u lower the car by again?

Sure thing.

I got about 2 finger gap?

[furythree]

lol u didnt measure the drop when u adjusted the coils?
is it lowered more than using springs alone?

[TurBIce]

I measure by fingers:)
ahahahaha

when i just went off what was stock height. then lowered all corners accordingly.

when i first had it on. it was on teins recommended settings. and that was wayyy too low for daily ( im soft)
that had a little bit of the tyre hiding under the guard on all corners.
so now i raised it abit. 10mm. so thats an extra finger gap :)

fingers the way to measure:)


im not sure about using sprins alone. coz i never had just springs.

[TurBIce]

Alright. a big thanks to yungquan!!

I did raise the headlight beam.
Anti clockwise with a 5mm socket

Sorry i couldnt tell you how many rotation. but just aim it to a wall and see how much higher it goes.

whew they close at 8:30 i can makeeeee itttt! even tho i wont be getting it installed till monday, still just want it on hand lol. test fit

[furythree]

sigh theres a crack on the corner of the lip...the lip was just wrapped in plastic but not boxed. i cud tell its been slightly distorted due to twisting. the twisting obviously took a toll on one of the corners and it seems pretty bent out of shape
sigh
dont have time to test fit but will do it soon

[TurBIce]

That sucks. Hope it can be fixed.

good price mate, new set is about $1500.
my only concern is that we never know whether its really done 4000km or 40000km?
and i m not 100$ sure, but i thought the modulo kit is usually in white colour, where as the 'mugen' one is the black ones. have a look around.

Hey, this is actually my auction on Ebay. I added new pics today.

To answer a few questions... it really has only done that few kms. I can provide a professional installation receipt showing the date of install (aug '10). It is not Modulo brand or Mugen but rather HFP. In Aus and SE Asia for instance, they call some honda accessory parts Modulo (see website), although Honda aus never brought the suspension kit here. It is simply a difference in branding name used in difference markets. In the US market, HFP is the brand, and in Asian markets its Modulo. This kit is from the US.

See this post for intance about branding http://www.uaeboost.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8242. Thats not to say the setup is identical. Honda don't release spring rates so i cant say for sure. It is a bit stiffer than stock though. I can't say if Modulo is as I've never tried it . There could be slight variations in tuning, but the quality of the parts is exactly the same. Any other questions at all feel free to PM me.

That's good Rudy with all those extra info
I have been thinking about getting coilovers myself, hence bit more info like that sure helps.
But can you tell me then, where do you source the HFP coilovers? were they from suspension city? was it a competitive price?

cheers, good luck with your listing

Thanks:) Only the installation was done at Suspension City. They cannot get Honda accessories. They only deal in aftermarket, such as King and Eibach springs, Koni etc. I have relatives in Canada and I got them to buy this from a dealer last year and send it over :)

Lol i removed it ages ago!...stil got the mugen ones tho

[furythree]

Just added some pics of test fitting ofthe rear lip

it sags a bit so u cant see the reflector. even after i propped it up, it still needs to go up a bit higher. will see what the mechanic says this week

also note the crack. luckily it wasnt in some awkward place. ive taped it together from flexing outwards anymore. luckily its on the underside and shudnt matter too much after install.

and i test fitted the side skirts again. after removing the double sided tape, the thickness of the top edge was enough to slot into the gap under thedoor. still dont mind slicing that edge off completely tho
will look nice with paint.

love the rear lip, but contemplating whether shud wrap the bottom edge that juts out between the exhaust tips with carbon fibre vynl or not. because i remember the normal mugen lip is one whole paint piece, but one of the special mugen versions (the red one) had that piece in carbon fibre. black on grey would be a nice contrast. but its going to be a pain wrapping it so may just paint the whole thing first then wrap over it if i decide to later

[fmunir]

hey i remember reading a year or so back, that it was illegal to lower your car past a certain amount? anyone know anything about that?

holy shit that type s rear suits ur exhaust so well.

how did the fitament work out? did u need to resort to any 3m double sided tape?

i dont get what ur doing with the front tho? looks customs, did u ditch the type S lip?




also Paul emailed me saying he was able to source a replica mugen grille. i know he had one already, but this new one is an EXACT replica in FULL CARBON FIBRE. not wrapped, not cheap black plasticy edge (which replaces our nice white one). but looks pretty identical to the original (like youngster's and sanyuh's). but more pricier than the previous one obviously. (i cant remember the old price, direct from manfacturer was about $60 so i think paul was selling for like $100) new one is $140 + shipping + profit margin im assuming. but alot better build quality and include emblem.

*wipes drool* gotta stop spending and start installing

thanks

front still has some gap. it should be elimnated with some double sided tape

rear is fine. i overcut the exhaust tips so theres some gaps. im not too happy about the exhaust tips fitting perfectly like i had on the OEM bumper. i will need to add double sided tape

im doing my version combining the mugen half bumper and mugen full bumper. also added some of my own details to it. yea its definitely custom like my other work.

im keeping the type s rear permanently because i like that look. the front i might switch off an on. for sure ill be putting the custom half bumper when i go to meets while the type s front lip will be daily driven.

[furythree]

how are u mounting the front lips/bumper so that u can easily remove them like that? have u got a pic of the mugen one? i saw ur other thread with a bumper cut up, but i thought that was from a different model honda, not a mugen replica?

what other car u after

im plannin to keep mine till it depreciates down to nothing. since i started work, theres very little time to "enjoy" my car, so i definitely get 5+ years out of it. in the meantime, make it look nice so i can live with it for that long period
house first, then r35 later :P

Haha it's the underside but if you look at it you can still sorta see it from a specific angle. Yeah I dunno I've been planning to get the lip kit for quite some time now...still considering as I haven't tinted my car yet + spent quite a lot lately =_=...

I'm looking at the Cooper S or......and when I win the lottery - 135i or M3 =P...Drove the Cooper S whilst I was down in Sydney for holidays and instantly fell in love with it haha. The drive was also amazing, packs so much power for such a small car =D. But I'll see...I'm already struggling with decision making as it is loooool...if only money wasn't an issue D=.

Man I dunno if I can afford paying off a house at the moment! House pricings are just ridiculous =\...Maybe if I was getting paid $100/hr working full time then I'll consider investing in a house =P hahaha

cooper S is a chicks car....dont get it.

also getting my springs installed wednesday.

and my insurance just expired today. havent renewed it yet cause i dont need the car anymore except for weekends (new job is 12 mins away from home via bus lol)

i just spent all night looking at policies to buy. i can lie and buy bingle.com for $660 (using uncle's name, and no mods) or i can list new mods (bodykit + suspension) and pay $960 (still using uncle's name) but then i figured if im going to lie about the driver, really, im only covered on theft and vandalism (unless they allow u to claim for under 25 yrs old even if u didnt list them as a driver, cause it could have been a one time thing) so really, no point in listing mods right?

gargh, installing mods just opened a whole new can worms for me...cant decide which route to go. St george's insurance actually lets u state the value of the mods you have, i put $1000 as the mod's value to replace (cause if i have an accident, i dont mind reverting back to stock anyway, if its third party, then they will replace it for me anyway) and they only charged me $15 extra premium.

but really, the different between fessing up about mods or not is like $350 premium
and it really comes down to whether a) they void claims if u dont tell them, b) cause i dont want the mods to contribute to value of car anyway, so dont wanna pay margin for it

Lol i know it's a chick's car but fk me it's a fun car to drive - takes corners so damn quick! besides if i was to get it i wouldn't pay for all of it coz my mum n sister will need to use it too lol...

speaking of insurance...mine came the other day...$630 under my dad's name lol =_=...it was $550 last time!...bastards are making money from the floods =\

lol in that case, if itll come cheap then get it! lol

how are u getting $630??? who are u with? what happens if u get into an accident? unless u negotiate with the other party to not call the cops and to arrange to claim it under ur dads name, then ur excess is gunna be like 1.4k

will you (or any of you guys here) claim any of the mods you have on ur insurance? i dont really want to pay for having mods that i wont bother replacing if i crash. and if i think that i shudnt report having mods thinking i wont crash....well why buy insurance at all in the first place you know lol

cant even fit one finger in that gap! (it looks like theres a space, but the tyres are tapered at the edges, so when u go stick ur finger inside, the tyre is actually inside the wheel arches)

(will post before and after comparison of back once i have pics taken from same angle. the only one i have atm is one with the mugen rear lip...which blocks the view of wheels completely before springs lol!)

Tein SS tech - $305usd shipped
install: 4 hours labour - $280 (incl wheel alignment - will have to go back after a few hundred kms for springs to settle in)

atm there seems to be one positive and one negative camber wheel on each side of the back wheels :S

the moment i got in the car, i was like "Whaooo! i can Pheeell eet! its lower!"
i wasnt after the whole crazy slammed look. just wanted to close the gap between the wheel arches, which made the car look fugly. The teins went beyond my expectations!

i used to be able to see the black springs from under or side on from the car. But cant anymore lol. for once i wanted to show off the green coloured springs lol at the irony.
I can only see it this way

Hmm very rich topic compliments to all! :) Btw, anyone have an accord 2010 with sportpack? I've ordered it but i dunno how sportpack will look ^_^;;

Chooo

[euroRwannabe]

Welcome to the DUMPED euro crew fury. Looks much more nicer than mine only because your tyres are a lower profile due to the luxury wheels. I have the base model euro which means I have the smaller standard 17 inch wheels. But gotta love the tein s techs. Like Andrew (nester jester) said to me earlier in the thread when I dumped my euro. "makes you think: how the hell was I driving around without em?!" very good photos fury. Looking forward to more mods hehe.

[furythree]

hehe thanks mate!
yeh youre exactly right! even tho i felt every single bump on the way home today. the feeling and handlin, made me wonder why i didnt do it sooner.

even my gf, the most cynical car person who i was expecting to say "what did u spend $600 on? i dont see any difference" said "wow it looks cool, like a coupe...which i like!"
haha, still clueless, but i got a reaction out of her for once, which is good. waiting on mechanics to book in a time for bodykit

in another bit of good news. i didnt buy my insurance which was due on monday this week. $920 stock car
i went to get another quote just now for car + spoiler + fullbodykit + suspension mods - $918 LOL , same insurance company (GIO) wtfness. bought it straight away! next time not renewing my insurance, but waiting a week and requoting lol

[Kwangstuhhh]

Why not join me with an mps..Plus i could hook u up with a deal as i sell them too.
Ohhh tempting haha, see how I go with spending moneyss....Have a shxx load of bills this pay over these 2 months plus still gotta get my CU2 tinted. Btw how you been albii? How are the cars?? :D

lol in that case, if itll come cheap then get it! lol

how are u getting $630??? who are u with? what happens if u get into an accident? unless u negotiate with the other party to not call the cops and to arrange to claim it under ur dads name, then ur excess is gunna be like 1.4k

will you (or any of you guys here) claim any of the mods you have on ur insurance? i dont really want to pay for having mods that i wont bother replacing if i crash. and if i think that i shudnt report having mods thinking i wont crash....well why buy insurance at all in the first place you know lol
Haha, I'm with AAMI, funny thing though. I called them up yesterday -> using my PROas convincing skills (no not really) I got them to drop it down to $570 or $580 (I forgot lol) :D. But my excess went up to $650 (Under 22yrs) plus I think the $500 (usual) on top of that. So $1150 all up if I crashed into someone lol :D

looks kool............how much is the kit including the suspension itself?

Thinking about it though - I think these kits are used for highly tuned race cars where they can give immediate feedback for ontrack suspension setup/tunning.

On the streets...........softest to hardest wouldn't be that wide enough a gap would it?

The kit with suspension shipped was just under $1600. Even the suppliers at Fulcrum could not believe it.

Anyway, got a really good installer to put it on. But the motor that came with the kit for the rear coilovers were a problem. Some minor mod need to be done to get it to fit and work without it banging on the rear seat frame underside of parcel shelf.

But was worth it. Had it corner weighed, balanced and alligned and the works. Apart from installing the coilovers the edfc kit was the hardest to install and took the longest. Would need a really good installer to install it.

Soft is just a tiny bit harder than factory but without the rolling of the car. I like hardest but would not use for too long. So far it has not settled yet and will bring the car back for a free tune and check in 3 months or 5000kms time.

ohw what???? let me get this stragiht, u added ur name to the policy and told them ur under 25 and they were able to offer you a PREMIUM of under $600?!!?! and the excess was only $650? HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW my excess is $700 and im no where near that cheap



btw anyone know how long i gotta drive the car before the springs settle in and i go in for realignment?

Nah, his excess is $1150, that's why he lowered his premium. This is normal in the insurance industry.

[furythree]

u mean theres the normal excess + the under age excess right? i know thats normal cause i have that clause as well. but my premiumum is no where near as that cheap!

[albii]

Yeah thanks been busy but good. Cars are running excellent...Now looking to pick up a vespa gt200 for the daily short commute to work.

[MKI4EVA]

Not 100% sure if it's in my head or not but I'm had a few occasions now where I have felt abit more engine kick back when in a low gears from quickly coming off the accel pedal.

Cars got 25Kkm on it now.

I was thinking of filling up the engine mounts with a fairly firm compound in the next month to give the front wheels abit quicker response in power delivery. Having said this I have no idea if it's at all possible as I haven't even looked at the mount design.

something like below. had a friend do this on his EM1 and it was fantastic.

man after lowering the car ive been noticing a "clunk" noise as i drive out my gate

i have this stopper that sits upright about 20cm or more off the ground, so when the auto gates close, it will be stopped by the stopper. i parked my car over it today, and realised that theres this cylindrical tank thing near the front half of the car, that resembles a muffler or something. its in between the front wheels and mounted slightly offcentre towards the driver side.

i think this has been wacking the top edge of the solid steel 2cm thick plate/stopper as i drive out (the driveway dips downwards, so it reduces the gap between the car and the ground.

the only way to avoid it it seems is for me to drive dangerously close to the right side of the driveway (since its off centre and the plate is dead centre) thereby avoiding each other.

but ive already "clunk"ed it 3 times. its a very quick gentle flicking noise. scared that i may have damaged it :S tho nothing seems to be wrong atm

also, it could be the arm that connects the wheels to the steering/suspension thats hitting it (cause its a flicking noise) because thats also dangerously close.

i would think that if it was the cylindrical thing, it wud be more that just a quick noise, but more of a scraping noise. esp since its long and is about 40cm long.

anyway. totally paranoid about driving out my driveway now lol

[MKI4EVA]

how much lower than standard is it? I already find the std lux height is scraping on driveways as it is.

[Kwangstuhhh]

My name was already on the policy, my premium is $590 and excess is $500 + $650 for being under 22 so $1150 TOTAL Excess if I'm at fault.

I know that exact feeling...my driveway is pretty poorly landscaped...a bit like:

_/ (but obviously less steeper) lol...it doesn't loot steep at all but it's coz there's a "dip" in the driveway which my euro's front lip has hit a few times...most of the times is the rubber under the front. Euro's aren't "that" lower, it's coz it's such a long car which means there's a higher chance of scrapping the front. I'm assuming that's the case coz my Jazz's bumper is the "same height" but has no problems down the driveway haha.

anyways all, I went for a mini photoshoot last Sunday...got some average photos but less of my car coz I was the photographer haha. Will go back to the same place next time with my mates to get a better shoot (I was sharing a tripod with a mate coz I forgot mine - NOOB =[ - Oh and yes my car's windscreen was 'meant' to be clean but I also noobed that too haha)

Here's one of the shots:

Haha I wish it was >_>...Thanks!! well it's only at front coz we were originally taking photos of the EG and DC5R...I wasn't sure if my car would fit between the 2 poles (it's a closed off board walk thing and we took one of the poles out haha) :P...so I eventually tried and it just fit! :)

nice rims.good quality too.I think Enkei is OEM rim supplier to Honda.

[furythree]

OH MAN
i just tried adjusting my headlights by turning that yellow little knob

firstly: its freaken hard to reach! you have to move the coolant tank to get to the driver side one. and the other one is blocked off by the battery and i cbfed unscrewing the battery in case i mess things up

secondly; its freaken hard to turn! its like glued on or something
i dont have one of those hexagonal holed wrenches so i had to try and use 3 different types of pliers and man it was a bitch to turn

thirdly, it wudnt turn! even when i finally got a grip on the thing, i heard squealing and looking at the orientation of the the edges, i noticed it did move. but the headlights didnt move at all!

how did u guys manage to adjust yours?

[TurBIce]

I just used a socket set with the long reach. Turned pretty easy.

[Fredoops]

nice rims.good quality too.I think Enkei is OEM rim supplier to Honda.

you are correct, if you take off the rims for ur euro you should see a enkei logo (a very small one).

[furythree]

I just used a socket set with the long reach. Turned pretty easy.


got a photo? the knob is really small

also i wont get electricuted if i dont disconnect the battery right?

and someone said you turn it anti clockwise. is that anticlockwise when standing facing the car, or anticlockwise as if u were in the drivers seat


you are correct, if you take off the rims for ur euro you should see a enkei logo (a very small one).

no wonder they look so nice that i dont wanna change them lol

[TurBIce]

Hey. Yeps. If u look at my post. Its a few pages back on this thread. I have taken pics of the knob.

It's fine to turn. Do not disconnect the bat or u can turn the headlights on to aim.

If ur in the Lanecove area anytime soon I can do it for u if you want.

in other news I finally bleed the whole brake system and pedal still seems abit soft for my liking....specially when compared to the CL9. I looked at the booster vs the MC and the MC looks so dam small for a 4pot system on the CU2's............

overall brake feels a tad firmer............might have to look at changing pads once they wear out abit more.

Soft is just a tiny bit harder than factory but without the rolling of the car. I like hardest but would not use for too long. So far it has not settled yet and will bring the car back for a free tune and check in 3 months or 5000kms time.

wow corner balanced...........i like your thinking!!...........not enough ppl appreciate how well the CU2's are set up. At the rate I'm going (car itch i mean) I might be getting suspension soon.......but am worried all the aftermarket stuff at too hard in soft setting.

[TurBIce]

Wow turbo cu2 looks tempting. But it's still too new to do engine mods.

I had my 6 month service done. They didn't say anything about my coil overs.

It's pretty expensive. $248.Oo

Fury: how d the headlight adjustment go?

[Kwangstuhhh]

sooooo, anyone interested in going TURBO? LOL!

our engine is listed down in the info, who wants to give it a try, i've only seen SOME pictures of some turbo'd CU2's but to actually see a guy do it in AUS will be nuts!
Haha, I was just talking to MR_LATE about this, I think he's interested...I linked it to him on Facebook, let's see what he says ;)


woohoo! guys jsut got an email from paul from bodykits kingdom

said he just found stock of the Mugen Wing replica kit! $280, FINALLY! lol

also price is much better than the $140 + $300 delivery from jspec lol

also he has the carbon fiber mugen grill

now the question is to get or not to get, and if i get it, to sell or not to sell modulo wing
Ohhhh noice!...Far out I saw a full Modulo Kitted (Bumpers/Skirt/Sports Grill etc) white CU2 parked next to my car at the car park today...I must say it's pretty damn sexy...made mine look bad lol...Highly considering the Rear Bumper now...

Oh yeah on a side note...+1 to my body damage...my stupid "friend" from high school decided to hitch a ride to a mate's 21st, long story short...parked my car at the venue she opened and swung my door against a metal post...it was so loud I thought another car hit something...depressing way to start a "was to be an epic" night =(

OH MY GOD! so sorry for you Tony, shit....

i JUST got my car back from Panel beaters after they repaired all the key marks, they did such a good job, they even replaced my boot with a brand new one, so good bye to that little dint i had from reversing into a pole WOOOOO!

not having my car for a good 3 weeks made me realise how much i took my CU2 for granted, now that i have it back, i wash twice a week, and keep it sooo safely in my garage instead of lazily parking it on my drive way.

[furythree]

whats expensive? the wing? $280 is Cheaper than ---> $1400 unpainted lol

havent had a chance to adjust them yet, going to uncles place tommorrow so might be able to borrow his wrenches

Haha cheers bro...I'm gonna be considering the Modulo rear bumper...and maybe a respray on the door (I'll ask around/Honda when I take it for 10k service). It's a tiny dent/chip on the edge of the door, not even sure if it's worth fixing if it's gonna cost hundreds...

And that's great news Simon! Pics pics pics when it's back :D

Yeah man, I was sh!tfaced all nite and she didn't stop apologizing (she's a bit of an "Asian Bimbo") LOL...so she's not a person I usually hang with :P

My bro got his 3 Series fixed for half the price the dealer/insurance quoted him when his GF scrapped his back door into a post...instead of over 3k it was about 1.3k I think. The guy is a "prestige car" expert so I dunno if he'd do yours. I might be able to grab his number for you if you want!

Was just wondering about how much people are paying for service. For a simple oil change Honda dealer wanted $200+??? Compared to the states where a dealer will change for $35? Why the big difference :/

[MR_LATE]

i dont kno why the big diff but 200+ is pretty normal at a dealer,

[TurBIce]

$248 for me at scotts. this was just the basic 6 months service.

Need to find a cheaper dealer.

$248 for me at scotts. this was just the basic 6 months service.

All it is is oil and filter change,quick inspection of steering,brakes,exhaust etc and quick lap round the block.

[furythree]

just buy urself a KN filter (reuseable) and go to ur local trusted mechanic
shudnt cost more than $100-120 every single time ive done mine.

i dont need a dealer to tell me that my brakes dont need changing after 6 months if u noe what i mean

i wish more of u were in sydney. ive asked all my friends this week, and none of them know a good panel beater sigh

[chunsa]

@furythree do you change oil and oil filter on your car yourself or do you bring it to mechanic? Maybe I should look into this and give it a try on my next service. Is there a DIY on this?

Just can't figure out how in the states they can do oil change for so cheap when we "accept" that $200+ is normal at a dealer which is sad :(
I noticed most of the service are just oil change + filter and inspect inspect inspect that somehow adds so much costs for looking (not even sure they actually look!!)

In regards to a panel beater, I'm located in Sydney but haven't required a panel beater sorry! I've read on here that some people used Hollywood Repairs or something at Lansvale? Also Currans at Auburn too! So just give those guys a look into.

My 09 TSX is TOTALLED...........

As I was going on a freeway on ramp @ 40mph, there was a pick up truck in front of me and all of a sudden I drive over this huge ass rock. It's the most painful sound I've ever heard.

I took the car to a mechanic and he said the gas line is leaking underneath and there's major sub frame damage. FML!

Estimated repairs was $4,000 USD but insurance decided to total it.

I'm so lucky my son wasn't in the car because it could've caught on fire or probably exploded.

imagine running over a rock/boulder that's the size of a soccer ball @ 40mph while being lowered

God defcon! After all that efforts... :(:(:(

So where's the damage? underneath the car?

ya it sucks

severe sub frame damage. theres a hole on the floor so you can put your hand through it

the structural integrity has been compromised and insurance felt that it wasnt safe to even repair it

insurance paid off my lien with honda for $22k USD and they cut me a check for $6k USD to get another car

i originally got it for $29k USD plus tax/licenses

the market value of the car was $26k plus $2k in taxes = $28k minus $22k payoff = $6k check

[denot]

Did you at least get a new car? or is the payout enough to buy another?

[furythree]

nice
i think the whole roof is a bit too much tho, would look better lowered

i really like the rear exhaust area wrap, howd u get that done? did u have to take off the whole bumper? im thinking of doing it to the mugen rear lip i bought, after i paint it of course

was this DIY or what? how much did it cost? (just for interior)

fark looking at that console makes me wanna do it too. i hvae 3 meters of CF vynle wrap i bought but i dunno how to rip out the console to wrap it. im not feeling the fake woodgrain anymore. would prefer fake CF lol

and why is the area near ur hazard button dented?










Btw, so fkn sorry to hear about ur car defcon...all that bloody work. can u salvage the bonnet at least? what do they do with the car once they write it off? cant u salvage it for parts? like side mirrors and bonnet.
and why arent u salvage the teins? such a waste?

I like the Enkeis.Are they 18s?

[buddah51au]

Yes Tony, 18's they are. it is too impractical to go larger when u do a lot of driving on the Bruce Goat Track. Lost a 17 to a pothole a couple of weeks ago.

[furythree]

whao they both look nice buddah
the bBS kinda look like defcons
how much?

btw my mechanic refferred me to a panel beater
quoted me $700 for install and paint

he said i shud haggle it even cheaper. but dont wanna piss off the dude with haggling if u noe what i mean

so just checking whetehr $600 or $700 is normal for paint + install?

[buddah51au]

BBS are $750 each, Enkie SC22 are $320.00 each. both 18x8 +45 Offset. I am yet to decide what tyres to use'

What Damage do you have furythree?

[furythree]

whao huge price difference. enkei for sure then

no damage, just installing my mugen replica lip kit. but dunno how much i shud be paying (paint + install of 2 skirst and 2 lips)

much prefer the Enkei Budda .. but will they be wider than the standard 18"?
the BBS to me looks a bit blend.

[buddah51au]

Lemonhead, they are the same size as the OEM 18's - 18x8. The only difference is the offset, OEM is +55, Enkie's & BBS are +45. The crazy thing is that it will cost $610 to replace my damaged OEM 17, yet the Enkie"s are $320 each.

[Lemonhead]

+45 will sit even better flushed
i read in some threads that the factory Honda wheels are also made by Enkei? but $610 does seem a bit too much for a factory wheel.
post some pics once they are on!

[natnat]

Enkei manufactures different wheels in different countries.

The OEM Honda ones are made in Japan + dealer mark up = EXPENSIVE

The lightweight racing lines are mostly made in Japan and cost around $500 each, except Fujin / SC03 / SC05 where they're made in Taiwan.
'Made in Japan' is carved on the face of the wheel and so is visible. Eg: PF01, GTC01, etc..
http://www.enkei.com/racing.html

The other Enkei wheels are made outside Japan and hence a lot cheaper. 'Made in Taiwan'.. is stamped inside the wheel with a sticker, and so hidden :p

I've had PF01 (Japanese made) and Enkei SC13 (Taiwanese made), the quality difference is quote noticeable and so is the price difference :p

You can check tirerack.com to see where they are made from.

[buddah51au]

As you know natnat, buying wheels is a very difficult choice & i have looked into a number of options. Firstly I was looking for a set of OEM 18's with no scratches or gutter rash, That was unsuccessful. I then sent 2 online applications to JDM Concept looking to buy a set of SSR Vienna LM9's, I received no reply to either application which tells me they are not interested in my Business. I have visited every tyre dealer in the area & they had nothing that suited my taste. Next option was searching online, I liked some of the RonJon wheels from the states, but importing was not a feasible option. So it came down to a set of BBS or Enkie's & they are the 2 wheels that I asked for thoughts on.

Noooooooooooooooooooo
damnit was hoping to find an excuse to get new rims "honey i sold my rims, now i have to get new ones"

[furythree]

ok dropped my kit off at the panel beater today
spent about half an hour examining the fitament
he needs to slice off the top edge that slots in underneath the door otherwise there will be scratching.

and the left side where i scratched my car 2 weeks new apparently has pushed the side skirt up a bit so the fit is a bit tight there, and he needs to slice off the top edge more there (or hammer it down at the risk of cracking the paint)

the rear bumper sits too low so that the red reflectors dont show thru the holes. hes gunna have to hold it up with a bracket and screws so that u can see them. personally i told him just to cut the bits that were preventing the kit from sitting up higher. but he seemed reluctant saying that it would look unproffessional (not that i cared, and its MY car lol...plus whos going to look UNDER my car)

the front hes going to stick it down with polyeurothane. in fact i think hes using a combo of double sided tape where space permits and polyeurothane to stick the kit to the body + brackets in the troublesome areas.

i thought normally they just use tape + brackets + screws to fit kits, never knew they used polyeurothane (i think thats what he said, or some sort of silicon) to use as a sort of adhesive to stick to the car

seemed like a pain to do otherthan a simple spray + fit. so didnt bother haggling him down too much. $700 all up.

hes going to prep the parts first, then he will get it sprayed AFTER its fitted. because he doesnt want to risk having to make adjustments after spray. cause that will scratch for sure.

sounds ghetto, but at this stage i just want it DONE.

i gotta say tho, after fitting all four parts on the car for the first time, the car looked so damn good

I also really like lemonhead's modded russian style grill better, but i dunno how to do that mod myself :( might keep the leftover paint as a future mod :)

overall, very excited that my car's finally coming together.

[WarrenM]

Hey i was jut wondering what you guys have done to your CU2'S mods ect?

Well I bought my 18 month old Silver 2009 Luxury CU2 two weeks ago 2nd hand, with:


full Modulo kit
Front Aero Bumper
Side Skirt Set
Rear Aero Bumper
Sports Grille
Rear Duckbill Spoiler

Leather Sports Steering Wheel
Sports Pedal Set
Leather Gear Select Knob
Factory Window Tint
Windshields on all windows
Metal-Look Door Sill Garnish 4-Piece Set
Metal-Look Steering Wheel Garnish
Metal-Look Interior Panel Set
Metal-Look Speaker Ring Set
Accent Light Set
X-Pack Paint Protection, Leather Protection, etc


The guy before me really went to town! The car looks very hot, but I would never have paid the silly money he paid for it new. My guess is he paid $12,000 extra. The dealer put an extra $5000-$6000 on the used car price, jacking it up to almost $40000 - I drive a hard bargain - my final deal probably included $2000 or less for all the extras! $35,000 all up less the true value of my trade (about 9,000).

I did pay extra for the extended warranty though - many years back I was "duped" into taking out an extended factory warranty on a new Toyota. In the 4th year, after almost zero warranty problems, the automatic transmission blew up and cost Toyota $5000. In the following year the car suffered a complete electrical breakdown and the transmission blew up again! Over $10000 more to repair - didn't cost me a cent. I like factory extended warranties.

When I got the Euro home, I connected a multi-power-adapter to the cigarette lighter, to temporarily power various items until I could replace them with permanent alternatives: GPS, phone, portable Bluetooth. That will disappear in about 3 weeks.

I just bought a 7" Window-mounted GPS with AV-in on eBay for about $120 delivered. Advice on forums was it would be really crappy - well it puts my last GPS (which spontaneously cracked!) to shame - better maps, faster response, easier searches, much better POI list (even includes my own home-based business - wow, that was a shock!). I'm about to receive a wireless reversing camera from China, which will mount above the rear rego plate and connect to the reversing light power, sending priority video image to the GPS unit whenever the car is put into reverse.

I'm about to get a high performance air filter - I've been told by another CU2 owner that it just about compensates for loss of zippiness caused by the extra weight of the CU2.

I'm also adding a Bury modular phone kit and voice-controlled Bluetooth.

Finally, I'm replacing the very unsatisfactory front split speakers with a pair of decent splits which can make real music.

The installer for all the electricals will create a permanent power connection for the GPS/Reversing camera screen (or any future unit which might replace it) so the last of the cables will be hidden and the multi-point power adapter can be relegated to the glovebox.

I'll take some photos and put them up.

Accent Light Set
X-Pack Paint Protection, Leather Protection, etc


The guy before me really went to town! The car looks very hot, but I would never have paid the silly money he paid for it new. My guess is he paid $12,000 extra. The dealer put an extra $5000-$6000 on the used car price, jacking it up to almost $40000 - I drive a hard bargain - my final deal probably included $2000 or less for all the extras! $35,000 all up less the true value of my trade (about 9,000).

I did pay extra for the extended warranty though - many years back I was "duped" into taking out an extended factory warranty on a new Toyota. In the 4th year, after almost zero warranty problems, the automatic transmission blew up and cost Toyota $5000. In the following year the car suffered a complete electrical breakdown and the transmission blew up again! Over $10000 more to repair - didn't cost me a cent. I like factory extended warranties.

When I got the Euro home, I connected a multi-power-adapter to the cigarette lighter, to temporarily power various items until I could replace them with permanent alternatives: GPS, phone, portable Bluetooth. That will disappear in about 3 weeks.

I just bought a 7" Window-mounted GPS with AV-in on eBay for about $120 delivered. Advice on forums was it would be really crappy - well it puts my last GPS (which spontaneously cracked!) to shame - better maps, faster response, easier searches, much better POI list (even includes my own home-based business - wow, that was a shock!). I'm about to receive a wireless reversing camera from China, which will mount above the rear rego plate and connect to the reversing light power, sending priority video image to the GPS unit whenever the car is put into reverse.

I'm about to get a high performance air filter - I've been told by another CU2 owner that it just about compensates for loss of zippiness caused by the extra weight of the CU2.

I'm also adding a Bury modular phone kit and voice-controlled Bluetooth.

Finally, I'm replacing the very unsatisfactory front split speakers with a pair of decent splits which can make real music.

The installer for all the electricals will create a permanent power connection for the GPS/Reversing camera screen (or any future unit which might replace it) so the last of the cables will be hidden and the multi-point power adapter can be relegated to the glovebox.

I'll take some photos and put them up.

wow thats a bargain, funny thing is, my cu2 lux euro without any kits is $35k market price. so ur cu2 lux with all that! (same age) for the same price makes me feel gipped (because i can just sell mine and get urs technically speaking) but then again at the same time, from your point of view, ur car which has more is worth less
the only way to win is to not sell it lol

i would like some pictures of your steering wheel. sounds pretty awesome
and im surprised with all the money the prev owner threw into it, they didnt get the seat upgrade. i heard that the euro has better leather sports seats u can upgrade to

how many KMs on the odometer btw?

and how much was the reversing camera that you ordered (and where from)
Do u plan on getting a inbuilt gps system installed?


for the air filter, ur getting the KN air filter for the CU2 right? if so good choice. i can vouch for that extra zippiness

I really do drive a hard bargain. And I was in the right place at the right time. The car had just arrived from detailing - had not yet been advertised - so an immediate sale would have saved the dealership $2000 in advertising. And I played hardball - basically described all the Modulo stuff and internal trim as "useless rubbish - worth heaps to the guy who put it in but almost nothing to me". They very quickly recognised that I was being truthful and that I was ready to buy, but at my price, not theirs. And the secret to buying at the right price is to mean it when you say you don't care if you buy today or not - because they know that if you walk out the door, they have less than an even chance of making the sale.


I would like some pictures of your steering wheel. sounds pretty awesome
I'm more taken with the sports pedals actually - never would have even considered them, but they are terrific - practically impossible to slip on them.

I'll take some photos inside and out once I've had the rest done.


and im surprised with all the money the prev owner threw into it, they didnt get the seat upgrade. i heard that the euro has better leather sports seats u can upgrade to

afaik there is no factory seat upgrade (I could be wrong), and all the upgrades he put in there were factory installed (apart from the protection pack). I have no complaints about the driver's seat - it is far better than the electronic controlled leather seat that was in my old Mazda 6 Luxury Sports.

I was far more surprised that he didn't go for the Nav version and didn't add in either the Honda or an after-market Bluetooth. Seemed like it was all for show, and then he either got bored with it or couldn't meet his repayments.


how many KMs on the odometer btw?

22400km


and how much was the reversing camera that you ordered (and where from)
Do u plan on getting a inbuilt gps system installed?
Reversing camera was a whopping great $26.99 including shipping - the manufacturer warns that shipping takes much longer than you might expect. I can vouch for that based on other stuff I've received recently from China. I don't expect it for at least another week, possibly two. Here is the current eBay listing but price has gone up to $29: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180630504539&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

There are no after-market inbuilt GPS units that I've found which include a 6-stacker CD, which I "need" - I'm a classical music nut. In any case they are all very expensive.

My 7" window-mount unit is pretty good, as I said, if a bit big - I've got it mounted dead centre, barely above the dash, where I don't find it blocks my vision. Because of its ginormous size, it takes only a glance to read, but it is a bit ungainly. It cost me $122 at auction but it's typical final auction price is more like $150 including delivery. The supplier says it works brilliantly as a reversing screen in his car. I'll only know once everything is installed. I'll keep you posted. Here is a current auction by the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-HD-CAR-GPS-Navigation-FM-Bluetooth-MP4-MP3-4G-/170615097335?pt=AU_Electronics_GPS&hash=item27b973c7f7


for the air filter, ur getting the KN air filter for the CU2 right? if so good choice. i can vouch for that extra zippiness

Yes I'm getting the K&N installed tomorrow - just the drop-in filter, not the full air intake, which I suspect would make life difficult in the event of a warranty issue.

Cheers,
Warren

[biggame]

WarrenM, once you install your filter, if you haven't already remove the intake resonator and hear it roar! :)

[euroRwannabe]

congratulations on the purchase Warren, like biggame said, if you haven't done so, remove the intake resonator which is located on the right hand side of the car (when you are standing face to face with it) behind the front bumper (which needs to be removed temporarily), and hear it roar! It kind of sounds like a WRX in my opinion, orgasm to ears! Surprising that just a simple removal of the resonator does so much difference in the sound.

As neat as this sounds, I suspect it would be a lot more exciting to my 23-year-old son than to me.

holy crap $29 for a reversing camera is CHEAP
i got quoted $200

and u make me wanna dip into my pockets for those $85 pedals too now lol

The reversing camera certainly is cheap, but I'll only know HOW cheap once I get it. If it's a case of $29 for a camera which barely works, vs $200 for one that works really well, maybe $200 is the bargain price. Hopefully my $29 was well spent.


man u guys all sound like uve removed ur resonators.
Here you guys are removing your air intake resonators to hear the roar of the air flow, and I'm having discussions with car audio installers about suppressing engine noise and undercarriage noise into the cabin! Go figure! I guess you can tell I'm not really a rev-head. I love the power and the speed and rush, but I've never cared for the noise - I'd rather be cruising at 110 with the barest hum surrounding the car and the Brahms First Piano Concerto crashing down around me.

[WarrenM]

...but bloody hell 22000kms and all that for $35k

You never know the circumstances with a 2nd-hand dealer vehicle
- maybe the guy traded up to a new Legend and had just as little sense on the dollar as last time
- or maybe the car was repossessed and the dealer picked it up cheap at auction

And someone else may have bought it without bargaining and paid $39,990 instead.

Lol I finally took my car for the 10k service...planning on getting the Modulo rear bumper + removing the resonator haha...


My 09 TSX is TOTALLED...........

As I was going on a freeway on ramp @ 40mph, there was a pick up truck in front of me and all of a sudden I drive over this huge ass rock. It's the most painful sound I've ever heard.

I took the car to a mechanic and he said the gas line is leaking underneath and there's major sub frame damage. FML!

Estimated repairs was $4,000 USD but insurance decided to total it.

I'm so lucky my son wasn't in the car because it could've caught on fire or probably exploded.

imagine running over a rock/boulder that's the size of a soccer ball @ 40mph while being lowered

Man what a shame!! All that hard work :((


new 2011 graphite luster metallic

Looking forward to see those mods!!

On a side note...aside from the Modulo Rear Bumper I was going to get, I'm looking at getting ROTA Grids:

http://www.visionr.com.au/images/site/products/367-1320-grid1895100gm.jpg

What do you guys think? They're pretty much "Volks TE37" replicas...my pockets aren't deep enough for the TE37s haha

how much are the rims? wat size? they look small


u dont like the mugen bumper? i like the modulo kit too, but after seeing so many people with it, kinda glad ill be the only mugen one hehe

looking forward on ur impressions after removing the resonator

the next real mod i wanna do is the grill mod. hope one of you guys (lemonhead?) could post a more detailed set of instructions on how to do it. think its a good time cause can get the grill painted with the bodykit

The largest the rims come in is 18"...which is probably still a good size, don't know why they look so small in the image =S...

I do like the Mugen Bumper, but I figured...I got quoted $390 for a respray on my damaged bumper plus about $250 for the replica lip + spraying ($150-200 I'm guessing)...That's about $800 already...whereas the Genuine Modulo Bumper is only $660 painted!...Can't really go wrong with Genuine Honda Paint Matching either :P. And there's not many Modulo kitted Euros in Brisbane that I've seen, maybe only 1 or 2! So it's still sorta uncommon :). Hope that justifies my decision!

Grill mod ayyy...Like Andrew's (nesterjester)? I'm pretty sure he had a thread on how he did his a while back. I could be wrong :S

if u get the bumper painted together with ur front repair stuff. u save on labour and paint. as opposed to doing it over 2 different sessions. save on fixed costs. but yeh, the difference will only be like $100ish so a genuine modulo wud be worth it for that premium

and yeh, nesterjester's grill is waht i want. gotta find that thread!

hey fury, I found Nester's thread for you.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138961-CU2-Grill-Overhaul

the only difference with my own DIY is that I have kept the Honda badge on. That mainly requires some putty work and sanding to fill in the side hole where the middle grills go.
I also actually bought a whole new grill for the project, so I still have the OEM grill that can re-use in the future.
Have a good look around with different dealers. I managed to get a while new grill - chrome, badge, rubber etc for just $100. It was probably taken out from a car that was sold with the Modullo grill. Otherwise a brand new set of grill will set you back ~$450..

oh awesome

im more interested in ur grille i think. i was liking the no badge then slap on mugen. but after seeing nester complain about there being a gap after u remove the badge...me thinks its less hassle to just leave it on?

do u have pics/tutorial of how u did it? or just more pics

also, how do u actually remove the grill? i think i want to carbon vynl wrap the chrome pieces isntead of spray

and theres no mention of what mesh you guys used

the CU2 is one of the quietest car in its class. it'd take huge efforts and money to make it sound like and go as fast as a stock MY2011 WRX, which now comes with proper quad exhaust (from the sti line).

so best to leave the CU2 mods at candies to the eyes level :)

removing the intake resonator will just make dirt / leaves to go into the intake box easier.

i was cleaning my CU2 a while ago and i found a piece of leave inside the air box! and that's with the resonator there.

i think the oem filter is made of dry cotton, so not sure if it's too happy with excess moist and extra dirt.

k&n panel filter is oiled, and so is injen CAI, hence it should technically repel water and moist, while cotton would just absorb it.

but with Injen CAI i preferred to avoid driving my CL9 in heavy rain, that's why I only use k&n panel in my CU2.

ok MR_LATE, maybe i exaggerated a little, it's not EXACTLY like a wrx, but it has really deep roars on low revs when stepping on the gas. My bad for putting our CU2's in comparison to beast WRX's.

guys i kno this is off topic but last week on my street i saw a LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO and i was wondering. " itll be awesome if it was an SuperVeloce" it turned and there was and SV on it,, that moment i had an orgasm in my brain and creamed my pants, tango orange and the number plate was MISSILE. gg
Hahaha I think I might've seen that one before!

I'm 90% going to wakefield on the 22nd of April if you are still thinking of tracking your car. Still want to get a lap time closer to my friends stock CL9 1:17.45.........hopefully theres another second in the CU2. But I'm going to get longer lasting brake fluid this time around.

Anyone else want to come along let me know. Would be great to have a load of CU2's down there...........u'll be very suprised how good they handle on the track completely stock.

[fmunir]

I made a mistake and bought the unit from www.szutility.com . Its been a month and haven't received my item how long did it take you to receive the item. I think they are dodgy. Please tell me how did you receive the unit

[chunsa]

How did you pay for it? If you used your credit card immediately contact your card's provider and get a chargeback!!

[fmunir]

I paid via western union so I wont be getting my money back , actually somebody on the forum bought a dvdgps unit from them and he posted pictures as well http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?113016-cu2-mods&p=2723645&viewfull=1#post2723645. I wanted to ask him how did he receive his unit and when ?

[MR_LATE]

Hey maclovin, if you're interested in purchasing from bodykitskingdom let me know I can probably hook you up with a better price :D I'd be more than happy to organise an order for you if you want :)...I've got photos of the kit on my CU2 if you wanna have a look too. As for body kit painting and fitment -> I think furythree is getting his painted at the moment so might be a good idea to ask him here or PM him ;).

Just an FYI for everyone, bodykitskingdom has finally ordered in the Mugen wing + Mugen Badges for $260 each! I'll probably go take some photos for everyone to have a look as well. So if you're interested PM me and I'll hook you up :D

didnt i say that like 5 pages ago? :p Been hounding paul about it for ages, but decided not to get it in the end lol. been spending too much money lately. Bodykit+paint and install + insurance + rego + just bought a new tablet for $1.2k sighs

but yes PLEASE TAKE SOME FOTOS (preferably "installed" as well?)
and comments on the quality. paul hasnt gotten back to me for a month but the last time he replied he said its "grade a" replica quality. whatever the hell that means.

i think he has the mugen grill as well?

could u also ask him how much it is to paint the wing while ur at it?

and maclovin, im getting my mugen kit installed on sunday, ill let u know how it goes. its $700 but my kitt is half from another supplier and needed to be modified to fit (plus my left scratch pushed the skirt up a bit, reducing the gap between the door, so needed to cut a bit off the top of the kit)
the guy is a contractor, who hires out a spray booth etc etc. has done this stuff before and contracts panel beater work for my mechanic family friend

if u prefer a normal panel beater shop, u can try top one in arncliffe?
id be interested in how much they charge as well

Haha yeah I think I might have saw that...I haven't really been on the forums reading every single post >_> too friggin busy with uni and work zzz.....

For sure man, I texted him and asked when he's got some time for me to drop by :D. I'm not sure how much the painting for the wing to cost, I doubt he'd know too coz he doesn't do it himself. Best to ask the panel beater you went to for your kit :P...I'm guessing $150-250? Coz I think nesterjester got his ducktail wing painted for $100/150. I'm pretty set if I wanted anything painted...kits wise coz my mate has access to a spray booth and said he can probably get Genuine Honda Paint at trades price :D.

As for the Mugen Grill, Paul's getting a couple in next week! Carbon Fiber ones :) Will post photos as soon as I can get them!

fyi: A Grade = I'm assuming is the top replica quality...unless there's "S Grade" too haha


Sure thing, I'll let you know once I made up my mind. Could you please PM the price for Mugen bodykit? Do you have Type S body kit? Thanks for all the infos. Very much appreciated.
PM'd mate! :D

update: Paul just told me he won't be getting the Mugen Wing for another 6 weeks (next shipment). He's only ordered a couple of the Mugen Wing coz he wants to check the quality of them before he orders more. Just quality control I guess, good for everyone :)

luckily i dont need my car during the week, but the guy said he's gunna take a week to install the bodykit (even tho it shud take 4 days max since adjustments need to be made) oh well thats what u get for hiring a part time contractor. I just hope he doesnt take it for a joyride during the week

defcon's back! Wooooooo!

[WarrenM]

wow thats a bargain, funny thing is, my cu2 lux euro without any kits is $35k market price. so ur cu2 lux with all that! (same age) for the same price makes me feel gipped (because i can just sell mine and get urs technically speaking) but then again at the same time, from your point of view, ur car which has more is worth less
the only way to win is to not sell it lol

i would like some pictures of your steering wheel. sounds pretty awesome
and im surprised with all the money the prev owner threw into it, they didnt get the seat upgrade. i heard that the euro has better leather sports seats u can upgrade to

how many KMs on the odometer btw?

and how much was the reversing camera that you ordered (and where from)
Do u plan on getting a inbuilt gps system installed?


for the air filter, ur getting the KN air filter for the CU2 right? if so good choice. i can vouch for that extra zippiness

They delivered the wrong model air filter - took a week to get it exchanged! Finally put it in yesterday. Definitely makes a serious difference! So does keeping away from Shell 95 Octane - that stuff is just hopeless!

I've lined up my hardware for a serious electronic makeover:

Bury CC9060 IQ voice-controlled Bluetooth
Bury Series 9 Modular Base and Active Phone Cradle for HTC Desire
JBL MS-8 8-channel Digital Sound Processor / 8-channel Amplifier
Alpine MRV-F405 4-channel Amplifier
Schneider SPA 6000x mono block Amplifier
Hertz HSK 165 splits (new model) for front doors
Infinity 652i coax speakers for back doors
Infinity 652i coax speakers for rear parcel shelf
Infinity 452i coax speaker for centre front shelf
Phase Linear HD-12 sub-woofer for boot
SSL 3.5 Farad stiffening capacitor


Now it's just a matter of getting Juerg of Auto Acoustics to put it all together, with some Dynamat, cables, woodwork, sweat and ingenuity.

Piece of cake!

[TurBIce]

no probs........if you end up going on another day let me know.

hello

[defconskylude]

So today was a test fitment and the front lip obviously doesnt fit well around the foglight area. i trimmed around it and it looks good to me.

i got my s techs today and will be installing them tomorrow along with my LS460 tips.

i will be sanding down the lip tomorrow and paint matching it. also probably do a debadging while im at it

ill be putting 3M tape to get rid of the gaps and i still have to use a heat gun on the front lip since it warped on me when it was sitting in the garage.

Sooooo farken happy today!
More pics tommorrow, my iphone overheated and died and corrupted most of my photos today after i took them :(. probably couldnt handle its awesomeness

but its now SOOOOO LOWWWW. i actually couldn't get out of the driveway! scraped the left underside already (like graze completely invisible cause its on the underside)

but yeh, teins + kit = lowwwwww

i ended up having to REVERSE out of the driveway (i have a VERY LONG CURVED driveway, so this is harder than it sounds)

Also, the side skirts cover up my Massive dent and graze completely! so no need for $800 panel beater fix just a $700 bodykit install :P

Now i want a new grill now and painted calipers!

bad news tho was that i had to go out in the arvo and didnt drive my euro cause i was supposed to let the polyeurothane set. so i drove my mum's lexus...then reversed into a pillar sideways (reversing out of a carpark) and totally smashed her door ><. i cringed so hard, ruined the rest of my day.

so finally did up my car and fixed my graze...but totally ruined my mums and grazed hers....all on the same day

oh well ><

I took better pics of the kit. theres a few particular angles that make it look so good and agressive. i had too much glare today,so u cant really see it that well. shame my fone died.

I am however, a bit worried about when i have to go on driveways, that nose is gunna scrape for sure. perhaps bigger wheels? may lift up the car a bit? but at the same time, if i took it to a shop to get rims fitted...dunno how they are gunna jack up the car on those big lift things....because the side skirts hang low under past the undercarriage i think...so those lifts that holdthe car by the bottom through the sides may ruin the skirts :S

overall, very satisfied with the job

[MR_LATE]

WHOA MUGEN!!! That's awesome. Very nice pics.

Btw I got paint from Autobarn, caliper paint gold and clear. And if u open the trims to your door and connect to power source the courtesy light in the doors. It shud work. I didn't install myself but that's what he told me. And I'm in Brisbane

Loving the kit. U gonna change the grill?

[Rudy]

Sick ride Fury, the mugen kit is clean as hell. Cant remember if you have the tein spring or the SS, but if its the SS, try raising it up 10mm or so. It will still look nice but a bit more practical. Where did you get that red honda sticker btw?

[defconskylude]

drop looks soo much better eH?

heres what i did today.
spray can painted my kit, m3 spoiler, mud guards
ls460 tips installed
tein s techs installed
debadged

next mods
install roof spoiler
35% tint
blue mirror tint
plasti dip rear chrome trim

lol yeh. its awesome. i didnt realise how well it would turn out until now



i think my next investment will definitely be rims. i need 19 or 20s cause it would serve to fill the wheel arches better but at the same time lift the car up a bit to reduce scrape issues. plus look badass of course

anyone know of good places to start?
