sweet as dude! welcome to the club in advance!
how come a cu2?

Always liked cu2.. it's value for money and seems to have good build quality

[Kwangstuhhh]

a teaser...

Kinda lame how folding mirrors came standard/as option on the Jazz VTi but not the CU2 =(

[aaronng]

How is that gonna work?! Cu2s header is welded on, so you cant really just bolt on an exhaust manifod to fit the turbo.

The 4-1 part is integrated with the head. However, once you reach the single pipe stage, there is a flange which you can take off the remaining part and bolt on the turbo manifold.

Any suggestions on what kind of light to use for the license plate lights?

[1six8]

They look so strangeeeeeee. I'd love bi-xenon and the turning lights though.

the new headlights can be purchased from jdmconcept now.

i agree...love the bi-xenon and turning lights...however couple of issues...

the turning lights operate only up to a vehicle speed of 40km/h...so not sure how easy is it to do it...

the parking lights are in the same area as the new indicator location and the indicator when lit looks weird...and a bit too much chrome...

yeh ive seen those before and been to the site. russia only, dont ship internationally

the price +effort dont make it worth it. would rather just put a strip in the fog area

denot, i think most people are waiting for their warranties to finish before doinganything.

depending on the price of the toyota ft86, i may keep the cu2 for 10 years, if so then my plan is for cai, possibly exhaust, then if i win lotto import a ct supercharger lolz

Wanted some sort of warm white and went for 4200k, but it just isn't white enough for me, now have 6000k installed, very happy with them.

the ones I had from ebay, those SMD 9 or 13 LED 5050 ones are too easy to burn out.

Any ways, aren't blue lights illegal?

Has anyone here changed the fogs in the CU2 to a white colour to match OEM HID's?

How do you find using them in actual fog now that they're white, pretty much useless?

Would love to get those foggies in that colour. Just wondering if mtec ones any good? Love mtec bulbbs with the 'rainbow coating' so the foggies look different.

In regards to white foggies, I have experience during my uni days where i put HID 6000k on my fogs. Looks cool but little use when we need them the most!

Well I was talking to my cop friend and he said HIDs aren't exactly illegal - apparently there's no written legislation for them (in QLD anyway). Not sure about fogs, coz I know it's a $40 fine if you have them on regardless of colour in the wrong/non-foggy conditions that's only if the cop is anal enough to pull you over for that. I haven't been pulled over as yet :P

I did 8000k on my foggies, lowbeams = 6000k...I was after a colour variance - looks a bit too "blah" if they're both the same IMO!


yungquan, kwangstuh and i probably can say that they dont do much in fog, but how often to we get fog? but get them since they 'look' so much better..
Yep...My low beams are so bright/wide that foggies don't do much, pure aesthetics :P

Yeah, I've passed quite a lot of cops and they've yet to pull me over but I guess I'm just asking for it hahah. Like this one time, me and the cop car turns towards each other and my foggies lit up the inside of their car and I was sure they were gonna turn around and pull me over but they just kept driving.

Anyways, what is a 'grounding kit'? (Apexi's grounding kit) to be exact and what does it do.

I'm not sure do you need to turn them on to work? Otherwise might just wire it up to the foggies?

I have no idea how it works exactly just throwing it out there to see if it's a mod that can be done on our cars :/ Always was interested in DRL and saw that this might be a better way of wiring things up instead of those LED strips.

I don't really care, if I get dicked, then it's my fault. If they don't like it, they should high beam me but they don't. And if their low beams are so high, they should adjust them. Most of the guys with their lights not adjusted are just lazy to do so, not that they don't know how.

Also, I still stick to my opinion. They're idiots, I'm just a dick.

[Adrian128]

In my book there's not a lot of difference between the 2. Actually, dicks are worse cause what they do is deliberate.. Idiots are just idiots, they can't help it. I'm glad you're proud to be a dick...karma's a bitch though... so watch out, dick.

Has anyone tried bolting on some mufflers/exhaust systems that aren't Mugen or Fujitsubo? A guy fitted a CL9 Skunk2 exhaust on his CU2 but obviously it didn't fit perfectly so he had to cut and weld a lot of parts.. It ended up being over 1k anyways. Is that worth it? Skunk2.. Mugen/Fujitsubo?

[Fredoops]

Nope, just get a custom one in that case....

yerp, fitted 2 super-cat 'sport' mufflers onto the euro and and and and and it was terrible, prob only loud exhaust sounds i can bear are supercar/v8/subaru but NA loud doesnt do it for me. had it removed and now their on ebay. it was a deeper sound but was draining at 80kms but then quite after 90kms.

Oh is it :S Hmm... I won't know until I've been in a Euro with it or something.. So hard to tell what it sounds like lol. I guess I'll just continue with the cosmetics of the car first. So you're just back to the stock exhausts?

yeah back to the stockies,, to be honest, after i had the exhausts on, it really confirmed what i want to do with my car. all is good.

$$$$$$$$$$?

What you doing with stock rims?

[euRo_noob]

Ohh I see.. Guess I'll just wait and see.

Good choice on the rims too! Looks good :D

$$$$$$$$$$?

What you doing with stock rims?

rims, maybe into garage. and 350+190 for tyres per wheel,,, GUYS!?! shud i get 5 or 4?

[I CU2]

Would a spare fit into the spacesaver section in the back?

[nxn75u]

Get 4. Little use for the fifth.

Good choice for the rims. looks very racing.

you thinks so? what if i get a flat :S ... convince me plz cus thats another 540$ =.=

[natnat]

$350 wheel & $190 tyre? or the other way around? Tenzo R is made by Lenso Thailand, good quality at decent pricing.

but make sure you check the tyres have the minimum legal load rating for CU2, some tyre shops would just sell you anything.

The 18" CU2 has min load rating of 98, not sure on the 17" CU2.. 95? but make sure the 19" tyre is not lower than the 17" one. could be a claim issue with insurance.

[I CU2]

How come the 17" Rims on the base Euro come with a full size spare but the Lux+ models only have a space saver?

[natnat]

How come the 17" Rims on the base Euro come with a full size spare but the Lux+ models only have a space saver?

to save boot space according to Honda, imo it's to cut cost :p

the 18" is wider than the 17" (both tyre and wheel width).

btw a Michelin Primacy HP in 235 45 18 (made in France) is $350 each from Tempe Tyre.

[I CU2]

Could an extra OEM 18" still fit into the spacesaver spot?

[nxn75u]

From experience, if you get a flat tyre, just use the one in the boot, go to a tyre shop within 20km and get it fixed.

Im not spending extra $500 for fifth rims and tyres when i know i wont be using them anyway. When you sell them next time, i dont think you will be able to add on the extra cost of the 5th wheel onto the price. Yes you might be able to replace them with ones with gutter rash.

OR you can get the fifth rims and tyre next time if you really need it.

[nxn75u]

Could an extra OEM 18" still fit into the spacesaver spot?

Im not 100% sure but i dont think it can. And its gonna be heaps heavier.

[natnat]

Could an extra OEM 18" still fit into the spacesaver spot?

Obama said, YES WE CAN!

but the carpet floor won't sit properly, it'll be elevated a little bit.. if you have a CU2 luxury.. CU2 standard could a different scenario I think.

I think I should do a test fit first :p

would be a real hassle when you travel fully loaded in the boot w/ 5 people, then get a flat tyre... but there's roadside assistance service.

On my previous CU2 standard, I've used 18" Works XT7 and when one of the tyre went flat, I still can fit the 18" in the spare wheels area but like nat2 said, the carpet cant be closed properly.

[Jones Boy]

yeah back to the stockies,, to be honest, after i had the exhausts on, it really confirmed what i want to do with my car. all is good.

oh and im getting tenzo-r cuzco in black 19'' :D 7-10 days woohoo!! there was charcoal but i dont know if it wud suit it so to b safe i went with black

You'll have to post up some pics when they are on mate. I seriously considered the Tenzo-R Cuzco in the graphite charcol prior to finding my current rims. I wasn't a big fan of the black (I'm a bit conservative there), but reckon they would look s**t hot on a white CU2. On your black CU2 it will look stealth!

so iwas randomly surfing the net and discovered that alibaba opened an aussie site as well as an aliexpress site. been browsing it all day and realised that theyve seriously tightened up their credibility with idendical to ebay site template, rating system and buyer feedback. most importantly they use escrow and buyer protection

anyway, aliexpress is essential a retail storefront for the sellers to pimpwares to non wholesale buyers. but being chinese they are very flexible lol

My iPhone's made in China, doesn't mean I can go on alibaba and buy a iPhone and expect it to be of equal quality just because the original came from China. I buy heaps of cheap Chinese copies of everything, from simple iPhone cases to electronics etc. but when safety comes into play I won't be taking that risk.

I'd go with them; 19x8.5. That's a pretty decent size (from my noob knowledge). If you're gonna go for 19x9 or 19x10 even, your car will handle like shiet but if you don't mind and rather looks, then go for it. My cousin said for my car, 8 or 8.5 would be max I should go if I still want my handling to be good.

Edit: Because I initially wanted 19x9 or something higher for looks and that's what he told me.

Fair enough..the main reason I don't like the Cuzcos is the fact that it's multifit.. I've always hated 10 hole multifits.. to me the whole area where the holes are look very odd, but that's just me. What brand tyres are fitted with the $2300? Seems a bit pricey for 19s, IMO.

Just FYI, you can only go 1" wider than stock if you want to keep your wheels legal (for insurance purposes mainly).

yes about the tyres, i will call them up tomro to double check,. im also thinking of going with 19x8.5 (i was actually trying to find the multiply button on keyboard lol) and if the lux model have 18's then wouldnt this still be legal :O?

Don't think so. It's supposed to just be 1" larger than what you originally got on your car.

A base Toyota Aurion has 16" rims, meaning max after-market would be 17".
A TRD Toyota Aurion has 19" rims, meaning max after-market would be 20".

Diameter is not the problem.. it's the width... if your stock size is 18x8, you can go 19x9, 20x9, even 22x9.. but not 9.5.. that's why in my RB3 i can only legally go 18, 19, 20, x8...not 8.5.

I'm not 100% sure on that yet, maybe someone else can tell you as I don't have the money to purchase any rims thus I haven't had the time to do any thorough research.
I just know that with the width of the rims, I wouldn't go over 8.5. My cousin told me to go 8 but I'm not even sure what the stock width as since other members here have just stated that it'll be illegal to go over 1" over stock?


wow amazing, thats good to kno.. is the CU2 base 17x7? so 19x8.5 would be non-legal

My stock rims are 18" but I'm not sure what the width is. I'll have a look when I get hold of a computer (unless someone can tell me?).

All I know is, 5x114.3 are for our cars. I don't even know what 'M12*1.5' means...
Anyways, Not sure what offset those 19" wheels are but in the pics, I see they're 18x8.
Also, I don't know what the "5*108" is.. Maybe that's a PCD for another car?

Edit: Some pro correct me if I'm wrong :S

Edit2: Unless those rims are 19" but it just looks like 18"... but whatever, it's still 18x8/19x8

[yungquan]

also do M12*1.5 lug nuts fit?

Fury: yes, Honda lugnuts are M12 x 1.5


All I know is, 5x114.3 are for our cars. I don't even know what 'M12*1.5' means...
Anyways, Not sure what offset those 19" wheels are but in the pics, I see they're 18x8.
Also, I don't know what the "5*108" is.. Maybe that's a PCD for another car?



M12 is the thread pattern
1.5 is the bolt diameter.

These 2 variables varies from car to car. So when you purchase your wheels, make sure the bolt holes suits the bolt diameter.

5X108 is just another PCD. in this case, if they have 5x108 and 5x114.3 PCDs, it means the wheels have double pcd to suit the 2 types.

[euRo_noob]

So... different rims, different diameter? But all patterns for the CU2 are M12?

[yungquan]

PCD = Pitch Circle Diameter.

in other words, they are just the spacing of the bolts where the wheels mount to them.
no matter what wheel you buy, you will have to get them with PCD: 5 x 114.3.
and each of the bolts are M12 x 1.5

Oh yeah, I just learnt about the PCD of our cars being 5x114.3 but just wasn't sure of our bolts. So if I'm looking to buy lugs for my rims in the future, M12 x 1.5 are what I'm after?

And nice visconti! I got my roof in 3M vinyl cause I couldn't make up my mind and I thought I might want to remove it in the future or whatever reason lol. I initially also wanted to do my grill black as well but not 100% sure if I still want to do it.

Just out of curiosity, how did you do yours? Vinyl? Professionally painted matte black/gloss black?

[visconti]

They're vinyl wrapped, done by carbondemon.com.au

I thought I might remove it as well later on so I don't want permanent paint

16kw on SRI? It better be a heat shielded SRI, otherwise the only time you'll see the 16kw is the middle of winter. The k24's intake manifold gets stupid hot in it's normal operation, having a SRI close to it it like double whammy of hot air.

MY11 CU2, low beam with HID, high beam with HB3 halogen bulb.

Bi-Xenon, both low beam and high beam use the low beam HID lens that flips up and down. Some also rotates right and left with your steering wheel, eg: factory option Bi-Xenon on Golf GTI / R, Lexus RX450, etc... No need for halogen high beam.

plenty of examples of how it works in youtube if you search it.

beware of not using the right nuts.

http://site.brandsport.com/exterior/wheels/acorn-mag-ball-seats.jpg

most aftermarket wheels use tapered seat nuts, oem wheels use ball seat nuts.

use the wrong one, insurance may deny your claim if anything happens due to your nuts coming off...

i've seen many young drivers being mis-informed on correct mods. just a word of advise, dealing with insurance can be a pain if your car is technically illegal, worst case scenario you will not be covered and will have to pay the other party damages too. $$,$$$ gone..... or even being chased by debt collector.

Tein supersprint series are a good set to look at if you're on a budget. Mate of mine paid 1.3 for his set and they're great. You have to be careful that you don't buy cheapo spec stuff. I.e if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Don't spare an expense when it is the only thing preventing your chassis from making pretty sparks on the tarmac

have you consider the 'Modulo' fixed coilovers set? they should be smoother and softer then other set-ups (but firmer than stock)

Well you could actually use tein ss because it's actually damper adjustable too so you can readjust it to your liking.

coilover is the whole set up with the spring and shocks in one piece...
others can usually be adjusted (with stiffness and height), but the Modulo ones are fixed, but i think its an good option if you do not want to muck around with it too much after, and easy installation... then there are the nice Mugen ones....

I had a wrx previous to my civic & euro.
Had many wrx members run BC coilovers.

engine oil...not petrol
wat do you think happens during a service? a honda mechanic takes apart your engine, gives it an overhaul, then reassembles the parts and runs a full performance diagnostic on it?

its mostly just oil change, filter change. check engine doesnt assplode, brakes work/arent worn/are worn so they can upsell you etc

parkers are t10 and reversing are t20 (w20w) when u start getting into 3 watts or more it is considered bright. u can youtube some comparisons.
