cu2 mods

[tryme]

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

ill start off 5% tints all around, eibach lowering springs.

[nesterjester]

Hi mate,
Quick question, did u get your springs in aus .. or did you buy it off a website?

[Type R Positive]

Midnight express window tint, and a dash mat!

[tryme]

i got it off ebay. 1inch front and back

[tony1234]

Midnight express window tint, and a dash mat!
Lol at dash mat.tryme.what's the ride and handling like over stock?

[Type R Positive]

I'm interested in hearing about that too!

Yanks recon they are great btw.

And we need PICS!!!

[nesterjester]

thats true i want to know too,
theres apparently another spring out on the market in addition to the progress springs; HR Springs which have a 1.3inch drop at front and 1.2inch drop at back compared to the eibach 1" to 1".

Might get these, but dont know how good they are.

[Type R Positive]

I knew about the progress, but not HR ones! 1" drop seems enough for me.

[denot]

the stockies are great for me... have tried HR on friend's FD but they're not to my liking... interested to see how does it goes for the CU2 :)

[chunky]

my mod, sorry about the quality, mobile phone footage

[biggame]

tell us more about the custom cai... any pics?

mods after buying is only tint.. 25 all around..

[taccord12]

Sorry for late reply, here's a picture
http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3295/mycai.jpg (http://img197.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mycai.jpg)

basically an aluminum pipe going all the way down with an apexi filter at the end, the pipe hasn't been polished so it's not shiny, and also you cannot see where they put the adapter area for the MAF sensor because its on the underside of the pipe roughly between the 2nd and the 3rd bend.

Hiya, new to this forum. Should be ordering my 09 Lux Nav Auto before the end of the month for delivery in Oct. (Need to run out company car contract).
Visited Revzone yesterday to discuss, CAI, manifold, cat and exhaust upgrades. Just waiting for firm pricing. They're also working on an ECU tune for the CU2. Not much demand though so they're not rushing.
I'll get the other mods done first up as I'm sure they'll be affordable.

Looking forward to hitting the streets in the Euro.

You can't do the exhaust manifold on the CU2 as the CU2's engine has the manifold cast into the head. And swapping a K24a3's head over is too much work because it doesn't line up properly.

If you want to modify the engine, best bet would be to swap the K24a3 into the CU2 and go from there...

[denot]

where can we get the K24A3 for the cu2 from? I think the legal said that the new engine has to be newer than the original one...

Well Revzone says it's possible. It's by no means easy nor are they sure of the benefits. I've decided against the headers for this reason.

[integral90]

where can we get the K24A3 for the cu2 from? I think the legal said that the new engine has to be newer than the original one...

From what I've heard that is a rule of thumb, and it's usually subjective. If an engineer wouldn't give you a certificate to swap an 08' engine into an 09' chassis I'd be suprised.

But if you could it would be good, the K24a3 would be MUCH quicker with the CU2's gearbox.

[free2d]

Are there any parts that can bring over from CL7/CL9?

[09euro23]

Mods to date:

15% tint all round with 65% tint to front screen.

Lowered 35mm (lowered springs only). Have a set of 20's comming from eastern states - will adjust the suspension if need be. Seriously considering the rear lip spoiler and i have been told the Honda Civic IS sedan rear roof top spoiler / visor fits straight onto the CU2... would look awesome i think - just need to track one down!!!...

And i know we all love pics - so here are some average ones i have to date - have just come back home from a business trip so I am still hanging out to take some decent photos! - these do the car no justice!!!.... better pics to come...

Cheers.

Have you had an alignment done yet with the new springs?

[biggame]

09euro23 can i ask springs did you bought?

geez u CU2 owners are slow at modding!!

I would love 2 see a mugen kitted CU2!! hehehe

[Spock1au]

;2304713']geez u CU2 owners are slow at modding!!

That's because there's barely anything available at the moment.:(
Believe me I've been doing some serious searching. Real performance mods are thin on the ground.

Definitely looks crazy. If the Mugen kit was available here it would be obscenely expensive.

I think JDM Concept have them on their trader page... dunno if they still planning to import them now though...

this is their post: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1115733&postcount=2

scroll to the bottom of that thread

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

Yeah but who is gonna wait 3-4 months, There sending it by sea for $5350 or sumthing without rearspoiler.

For that price u can directly import the kit urself air 1week.

[09euro23]

09euro23 can i ask springs did you bought?

Springs used = Kings Springs (models KHFL-107SL & KHRL-108SP)

Very happy with the result and ride quality is only a little bit firmer - still an awesome drive. Lowered approx 35mm from std (std ride height is like a bus! so this is a MUCH better look!!) - looks freakin mean from front on when on the road - low and fat.

Highly recommend it to any CU2 owner. Cheers.

[lingamair]

Hi, just wondering, does anybody know if a K&N filter for the CU2 is available?

is there any difficulties in going through sydney roads? like humps n stuff? cause what i see is that the bottom part of cu2 is pointed out and im afraid i might scrapped that part..

[09euro23]

I live in Perth... but no, have no issues with speed bumps etc. Every now and then you need to watch a driveway kerb or similar due to the small under spoilers (you know, those little mud flap type wings under front bumper)... but thats it - nothin major.

[Rein]

wheres all the modded CU2 pics? wanna see some... =) suspension, wheels, bodykit

also how much?

Mods to date:

Honda Civic IS sedan rear roof top spoiler / visor fits straight onto the CU2... would look awesome i think - just need to track one down!!!...

do u have a link to a pic of this? sounds interesting


http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww131/09euro23/19042009114.jpg

wow what did u do in fotoshop to get this shiny effect? (pm me since its off topic)



http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww131/09euro23/DSC01493.jpg
damn your tires and rims are so shiny...do u use tireshine or something?



*edit*
i just had a google for "rear roof top visor" and i know what you mean now. i think it wouldn't go very with the CU2 because the car is longer than the civic. the civic is shorter so it looks good with a roof visor like the hatchbacks do
i mean i believe the hatch backs use sun visors because they cant have spoilers. so thats why i got the wing type spoiler, makes it so much more aerodynamic than a bare assed CU2. without the spoiler it looks like a camaro gt lol. all u need to do is paint it yellow with black stripes and u have a honda bumblebee

I got my ones from Hong Kong as it was a bit cheaper and only had to wait 2days.

Hi guys,

Below are pics from the guy i was chatting to in USA - he has an Acura TSX CU2... He is the one who told me about this rear visor pulled from a 2008 Civic SI... looks awesome i think - STILL CANT TRACK ONE DOWN!!! (although a few other types are popping up on Ebay!) - enjoy...

[integral90]

Does the TSX get slightly more defined wheel arches? It might just be the colour, but they look different - more meaty

Thanks for the pic...Any chance you can ask the car what body kit it is and alos the specs on the wheels?
The car looks very nice.

[nxn75u]

Correct me if im wrong. I think the rims is from honda accessories. However, oz ones are with the 5spokes chrome in colour and the rest black.. the front bumper i think its the aero front bumper which many tsx owners in the states got it. Not sure of the back and the sideskirts though.. anyone knows?

[kimnkk]

Sides and rear are also Aero. Looks very mean, but could do without the decals!

[09euro23]

Hi all spoilers (except the roof top visor and stoopid BMW 'shark fin' - i hate those things) are honda aero kit - optional from factory. Wheels i am unsure about, but i will try to find out.

Looks nice i think - neat yet agressive. Also, the TSX is identical to our EURO - apart from front grille. The side guards are no different to our cars.

Cheers.

sorry I was wrong, they arn't HPR, they are HFP (Honda factory performance). Those particular ones are from an Honda Accord Coupe and are 19".

Don't know much more, but would imagine it wouldn't be easy to find in AUS.

man theres seriously nothing for the cu2

do normal accord or older cl7/9 visors fit on cu2?



its so stupid that ebay seller above sells oem CU2 parts for 25% off RRP...but hes located in america and shipping to aus is about 25% of RRp -_- basically meaning u save nothing and u have to instal it yourself and expose yourself to shipping risks. unless he discounts shipping, i see no hope any time for us CU2 owners in getting cheap parts.
i got so excited seeing colour coded mud flaps for $80 -_- (but +$25 shipping)

i have wheels and sussy for now

but unfortunately not many parts available yet for cu2.

the problem is, this car is not popular in japan. they are expensive being the main reason. so not many people can afford it and there is no tuning shop do it, with the exception of mugen...

we got it cheap in australia even with the pinging for some!

ive been seeing more and more cu2s on the road lately, some stocking nice rims, they gotta be ozhonda lurkers lol


hey ive been wondering u noe how audi's have those 2 white LED strips on their headlights that are on during the day even. i was thinking of getting 2 strips myself and test to see how it looks. cheap mod would only cost me $20 at most. but i was wondering what lights are legal? ive seen people driving around with a blue or yellow hue in their headlights! :S if those 2 colours are legal then i might get blue LED strips

[power_of_dreams]

damn, that looks a setup from the cl9 box lol.

looks very pricey though!

[denot]

The CL9 one before is arund $300-$400 USD. So maybe (or hopefully) around that price...

[nxn75u]

if those 2 colours are legal then i might get blue LED strips

it think those 2 are illegal.. i rekon only white is legal... i think one trader is selling it if im nt mistaken..

[denot]

heya folks! sorry to hijack, but can u load your CU2 pics on the thread below on my signature?

thanks!

[furythree]

it think those 2 are illegal.. i rekon only white is legal... i think one trader is selling it if im nt mistaken..

a trader is selling led light strips?? 0.o

if i added red coloured LED tailgate lights (yeh i noe we already have 2) near the bottom edge of the rear bumper (so its not under the car) would that be illegal?

[nxn75u]

Hey cheers for that site mate!

Is that $100 aussie bucks? If so, thats still the cheapest around i think!

Wonder if they do cheaper postage if everything is combined, rear lip, skirts, front lip and grill. Their prices for painted is pretty reasonable too! :thumbsup:

Has anyone had experience with getting painted parts shipped? I'm just concerned about the paint getting some major scratches because of it rubbing against the packing materials! :eek:

That is for the CU2 as it shows CU2 under Vehicle compatiblity.
The shipping is expensive if that's in AUD or USD.

I got the Mugen visors and grill shipped from Hong Kong for $800.

yeh the prices are fantastic but the shipping is a bit ridiculous i believe.
Youngster's hk site has the visors for a little more expensive, but after shipping, its cheaper lol

and im pretty sure the prices are in aussie dollars because when i registered they asked for currency denomination.

however it just goes to show the margin of profit there is. So if i got my dad to ship them over when he goes to china he can prob get it cheap and also ship it cheap. the problem lies in where to order it from in china...

when the importers get it, do they buy at some special traders price or do they import at the japanese listed price on the mugen website?

[jb_euro]

hey guys
got the cu2 about 2 months ago, im currently building up a sound system that i am going to put in it. It is half bought just need more money. It will include 2 sets of 6.5 splits, a set of 6x9's, replacing the 8inch sub in the parcel tray with a better brand, and 3 subs in a custom made bos in the boot. I am also buying chrome 20's in about a month and lowering it a bit. I just need the money lol but who doesnt. So far ive put 35% tints on it and super white LED parkers, look great at night. Ill post up some pics when i have time to take them.
cheers

hey guys
got the cu2 about 2 months ago, im currently building up a sound system that i am going to put in it. It is half bought just need more money. It will include 2 sets of 6.5 splits, a set of 6x9's, replacing the 8inch sub in the parcel tray with a better brand, and 3 subs in a custom made bos in the boot. I am also buying chrome 20's in about a month and lowering it a bit. I just need the money lol but who doesnt. So far ive put 35% tints on it and super white LED parkers, look great at night. Ill post up some pics when i have time to take them.
cheers
Why replace the 8" sub? You don't need 6x9's either.

What 20's are you going to go for? I been thinking more and more about 20's, but good luck finding a 98 load rated tyre.

[furythree]

[furythree]

thanks for that list!

are these the right ones? "wedge" bulbs

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16097

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5789

second one is only $2 but one bulb so i dont think it will be bright enough

but the first one is a pack of 2 for $8.95 is that considered cheap or standard for LED parkers?

[nesterjester]

That filter is for the Accord.

So not the Euro, damm. Is there much difference in regards to filter specs?

[tony1234]

None at all,the same specs,just different shape.Euro filter is rectangular shaped.

I was going to get the Tein coilovers for CU2 but with the Yen being so low, it would of cost too much landed here in Aust.
Tein coilovers would of been nice but Eibach will do just fine for now.

[aaron]

nice man much appreciated, ye i was also considering the teins, but from mrheeltoe a dealer in america on the acurazine forums. Only one guy has them so far on his acura tsx 09 so it would be pretty gun to get a set here...but i still want the soft ride for now

[denot]

hey youngster bro, where will you install it?

[Youngster]

aaron : I would of loved to have got the Tein coilovers but it will just have to wait for now.

haha yeah true dat :thumbsup:

[taccord12]

[nxn75u]

How was the ride? Post some pics up to see how low it drops!

[aaron]

nice work, ye pics would b good, have u had a full load of passengers at the rear? any issues? are you still on the stock 18''?

[taccord12]

don't have time to get a pic yet sorry lol, but it's roughly about a 1 finger gap fron't back, but it almost looks like there isn't any, pretty good height, and that is the standard height on the manual apparently

and yes, i'm still on 18 inch stock wheels, thinking about a new set of 18 or 19 in the near future

ride is awesome, on stock settings, which from what i can remember was something like 6 - 10 clicks back from the hardest, forgot which one exactly, it's just a little more stiffer than stock you only really notice it on big bumps, on small lil road surface bumps, its excellent cause the car doesn't bounce up and down. cornering is nice, higher speed and the car holds excellent and it's not even that stiff :)

[aaron]

youngster hows the eibachs going, im dying to find out i wanna get a set already lol ><

[moo moo nel]

heading down to Topone to have a look :p

[Youngster]

Eibach springs installed last Sat and i love it.

Handling is great, ride comfort is awesome and it has a very nice drop.

I left the car at Heasmans so they can do the alignment first thing in the morning.
Dedy will be collecting my car from Heasmans and it will be back at Top One tomorrow afternoon.

I won't be there until 8pm tomorrow to collect the car, so you can come down and have a look.

Sorry i didn't get to take any pics but when i give it a nice clean, i will post some up.

[denot]

Oh man... Too bad i cant make it last sat. :( hope i can com around tuesday nite when u pick ur car up...

[moo moo nel]

do you think there will be any scrubbing issues with passengers?

[Youngster]

Picked up the car today after the alignment was done.
I'm not sure if it will scrub or not but i should know in a few weeks as i will be carrying 3 people in the back seat for a trip down the coast.
I will let you know how it goes.

I was running late to pick up the car from TopOne tonight and sorry to the person who came down and waited for me.

Dedy told me his name was Mikhael????????

[mikhaelnen]

Hi, is me.

Ya, I was planning to meet you up at topone around 8pm. But have to leave earlier as I have some other things to do.

Saw your car sitting there very nicely. Good drop, cool mugen grille and the door visor (issit mugen visor?), the tint is quite dark as well. :thumbsup:

The place is quite dark, so couldn't take any photo. Will wait for you to post after the clean up.

[aaron]

fair enough, well i bought a set today couldn't wait any longer lol, should be getting them installed tomorrow =)

[Youngster]

mikhaelnen : Sorry i was planning to come around 8 but got stuck somewhere.

Yes it's a Mugen visor and the tint is 15&#37;.

If you're planning to get the eibach springs and wanna know how the ride is, let me know and we can meet up and i can take you for a spin.

aaron : Let us know what you think when you installed the springs.

[mikhaelnen]

Thanks in advance, youngster.

[denot]

Too bad I couldnt go there as well :( post some pics youngster! very keen to see how your car looks like... :thumbsup:

Also, does anyone know where to get the following Honda Japan OEM accessories (window visor, exhaust) in AUS?

Thats what steered me away from the silver. Even the stock bumpers look a different colour.

[mikhaelnen]

I don't understand why you said rear bumper is darker...??

The fact is that photos were taken in different angels, hence the lighting condition is different, and i think the reflection also contribute to it. Haha, should photoshop it before posting. :)

It's not a bad thing, it's just that paints are incredibly hard to match between metals and plastics. I think it happens more often on silver cars, as my rear bumper is a lot darker than the rest of the car

Still, your car is HOT :)

[denot]

^^^ true2... but still its a clean car! not a fans of the colour though :p

[mikhaelnen]

Haha, i actually like the white/blue better. But, because i don't want my parents to know that i traded in the old euro, and i have told them that i got a silver car previously, so I have to get a silver euro. Dodgy idea heh. :)

Issit worth to get it painted?

[Rudy]

Issit worth to get it painted?

definately not worth it.


I think the car looks great. I think silver Cu2 is the hottest colour... i always stare at them when i see them. It really suits the car and all the chrome accents blend in.

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

Looks great mikhaelnen,

Original chrome grill looks better imo this one is abit too sporty.

Nicest CU2 on here imo,

A neat set of wheels and a little lower will look beautiful..

Great colour too!

mate you wouldn't happen to live around Burwood would u? I think i've seen this car at Burwood westfields a few times and get all jealous :P hahaha it looks even better in real life. Wish i had the extra money to get the modulo kit as well.

[mikhaelnen]

:p HAHA, no, I do not live in burwood, I live in the east.

Wow, I think you saw another modulo then. Glad to see more and more euro coming out these days. Modulo is great to me personally, the even more muscular look.

Hope to get the car lower, still hesitating. :)

@nxn75u: Thanks, Volcano grey? hmmm if you have white + black grille that will be awesome, not sure about VG...

Funny story, yesterday I went to a dealer to claim warranty (the oil leaked and reporting pinging issue) and when they park the car just outside, a guy who looking to buy CU2 ask the salesman "Is MY10 comes with colour coded grille? That looks awesome" :p LOL!!!!

[nxn75u]

personally acura grille looks weird to me, lots of poepl from the US are trying to source honda grille as they look heaps better (i reckon). Mugen grille looks hawt but i reckon it will only look good with the mugen add on-kit installed. And dedy from top one says it is not 100&#37; bolt on rite? Correct me if im wrong..

Well i was surprised when reading the instructions that the original grill had to be modified.
I thought the Mugen parts were a direct fit but it's not and maybe that's only for CU2's.

Eibach springs are good and i'm happy with it but then i had to find out how much the Tein coilovers costs and i was surprised as the price was really good.

Might be getting the Tein coilovers...lol

Yeah for sure...maybe sometime next week.

Ride's good, have it on stock settings at the moment as i've mentioned a few pages earlier

It's a bit stiffer than stock suspension, holds better around corners at higher speed, a lot less bouncy on small road bumps, i personally like it better than stock suspension

it took something like 1.5 weeks to deliver :) not much of a wait at all

I'm not a big fan of the Mugen wheels sorry...

[taccord12]

yeah me neither, mugen wheels are alright in the 19inch XJ wheel or whatever it's called

20 shouldn't be too ricey providing you drop it properly, any bigger gap it'll just look plain stupid, and obviously decent choice of wheel as well.

i think for 20s you'd need something with a bit of dish to look good... but that's just my 2c

[kimnkk]

Yeah i agree with that. 19" suits the CL9 and the CU2 has pumped wheel arches so i think it needs 20" to get the same look as 19"s on the CL9.

And something with dish, and wide, would look awesome. 9" wide? Hot!

Tien SS Coilovers (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Tein-Suspension-SS-Damper-kit-for-09-Acura-TSX-CU2-DSB90-KUSS2-pr-64876.html) $1140

Tien Basic Coilvers (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Tein-Suspension-Basic-Damper-for-09-Acura-TSX-CU2-DSB90-LUSS2-pr-64875.html) $855

Which ones do you guys recommend just for someone who is looking to lower their CU2? No tracking or anything, just a decent ride quality while looking a bit low (1.5" lower).

Not sure if it is much trouble to adjust the damper and if i would need to at all so not sure if its worth the extra AU$400 or so on top of the basic ones.

Hmm!!

[greg6510]

I would strongly recommend H&R springs. i use my CU2 for everyday use, including business trips. Drop is perfect, about 35mm front and 30mm back. Will post pics in the next day or two, and you can decide.

Awesome pics would be super duper :thumbsup:.

Yeah i wouldn't actually mind springs if the ride comfort is okay for everyday use too. Do you find it a lot harsher than stock springs?

Where did you get your springs from if you don't mind me asking?

[greg6510]

I was expecting a harsher ride with the new springs, but honestly, I cannot tell the difference. The ride is still luxurious, and bumps are not felt easily - still very comfortable. I am based in South Africa, so we imported them directly from H&R. I paid an equivalent of USD360 for them, including fitment. No regrets what so ever!

[kimnkk]

Ahh thats awesome to hear! Might check out the H&R springs more then, 1/4 the price of coilovers and since there will be absolutely no tracking, i dont think it would make a difference for me, except to the wallet haha.

Still can't wait to see the pics mate :D

[greg6510]

Its 8.30pm here, I will arrange that the case be washed tomorrow, and will definately post pics. Theres times, when I just open my garage gate, to stare at my Accord. That drop, with the 19z are so sweet. Cant stop staring! :)

[kimnkk]

Hey, same time as Germany! Its 9:07pm here atm too :D

Yeah man your car is gorgeous, i love the rims, they look great on it! Also, looove the colour!! Volcano Grey/Grigio Gray ftw haha!

[greg6510]

Thanks buddy. Are you watching the cricket? NZ vs Pakistan?

[kimnkk]

Thanks buddy. Are you watching the cricket? NZ vs Pakistan?

nah i'm watching a really boring movie, which would explain why i'm still on ozhonda, but not checking it very often.

besides, no cricket on on TV here, and everything is in German so i have nfi what they're talking about :mad:.

[greg6510]

Ok, ive uploaded pics on the thread MY CU2 (So far..)

[aaron]

Yeah i agree with that. 19" suits the CL9 and the CU2 has pumped wheel arches so i think it needs 20" to get the same look as 19"s on the CL9.

And something with dish, and wide, would look awesome. 9" wide? Hot!

Tien SS Coilovers (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Tein-Suspension-SS-Damper-kit-for-09-Acura-TSX-CU2-DSB90-KUSS2-pr-64876.html) $1140

Tien Basic Coilvers (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Tein-Suspension-Basic-Damper-for-09-Acura-TSX-CU2-DSB90-LUSS2-pr-64875.html) $855

Which ones do you guys recommend just for someone who is looking to lower their CU2? No tracking or anything, just a decent ride quality while looking a bit low (1.5" lower).

Not sure if it is much trouble to adjust the damper and if i would need to at all so not sure if its worth the extra AU$400 or so on top of the basic ones.

Hmm!!

mate, i got a set of eibach pro-kits on and they are awesome! i use them everyday, take the family around aswell and no scrubbing issues! looks sweet and feels stock best buy! drop is 1'4'', 1'6''

[denot]

^^^ hey aaron i think ihavent seen pic of your car yet ;)

[Stig]

[jyh888]

[furythree]

yeah me neither, mugen wheels are alright in the 19inch XJ wheel or whatever it's called

20 shouldn't be too ricey providing you drop it properly, any bigger gap it'll just look plain stupid, and obviously decent choice of wheel as well.

i think for 20s you'd need something with a bit of dish to look good... but that's just my 2c

what is the "dish" look you are referring to?

i agree with you, the side gap between the rear tire is also too wide

[furythree]

Hey guys remember the nengun site i mentioned a few months back

i just checked their site again. but i noticed that the mugen parts they listed ARE SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER. it could be just my imagination but

check for urselves

http://www.nengun.com/mugen/aerodynamics-accord-cu2

AU $ 1,814.41 for 3 piece set of lip spoiler, skirts and rear under spoiler.

i noe shipping is gunna slap you in the face, but it will only be a few hundred dollars ontop. still cheaper than $1,230 for the lip alone at jdmyard. its only AU $ 596.17 for the lip at nengun

i was already saving up for the body kit, but now i dont have to try so hard. the front bumper is AU $ 1,671.85 which replaces the grill as well and u gotta buy the skirts and rear bumper seperately which cost another thousand. but i personally prefer the lip.

good find or what

[longers]

^ nengun's prices work with the exchange rate. the the dollar goes well the prices get cheaper.

i bought my kit from nengun and i'm telling you now i'll won't be doing it again.

all i can say is read their t&c's in regards to delivery etc.

when the experience i went through, it would've been been off going with one of the traders.

[taccord12]

Haha wow that was a while ago that i made that post, basically what i mean was wheel with dish / low disk to it. A guy from the acurazine forum in the US did a massive Staggered fit on his CU2, looks nice. 9.5 inch at the back, didn't think they'd fit lol

I've had a look at nengun a few times, didn't think it was worth the bother. Btw nice Accord :) looks quite slammed

[longers]

^ yeah it really wasn't worth the bother. you do get what you want in the end of the day, but its getting it here that is problem. not worth the hassle.

thank you for your kind words :)

[furythree]

so the prices move with exchange rate but it kinda halved in price! the exchange rate hasn't doubled so the price has gone down a bit that wasnt related to exchange rate.

could you get in more detail about the problems with shipping? i was seriously considering it. if it was just issues with delay i dont have a problem waiting 1 2 or 3 months lol. if it gets to me in 24hrs it will probably be sitting in my garage for months before i have time to actually install them. if it was over pricing, unless shipping price = item price then its still cheaper than the traders here. they all just buy it from mugen japan and import it here anyway

[Youngster]

I emailed Nengun Sep this year for below parts and this is what the shipping cost is.
Way too expensive.


To ship:
71110-XLLXK0S0-PO - Front Under Spoiler will be 68000yen to be picked up from Sydney Airport.


84111-XLL-K0S0-ZZ - Rear Under Spoiler will be 50000yen also picked up from Sydney Airport.

[longers]

then custom broker fees, and the company that is looking after shipping you have to pay terminal fees. about another 200 or so on top

[furythree]

LOL ok fair enough. thanks for letting me know. i understand what you mean now. i thought it was just slow shipping, but if i have to pay customs and go to airport thats bs. the dealer should take care of that. but at least it goes to show how ridiculously overpriced the traders here are.

[longers]

^ to be honest its not too bad. jdm concept quoted me 2.1k landed to my door. blinded by the hidden fees from nengun, i decided to go with nengun. but at the end of the day, it was only around 100 or so cheaper but i had to go get it from the bloody airport

[integral90]

Someone drag their CU2, PLEEEEAAAAAASE!

[furythree]

ok realllly noob question, how do i replace parkers lol. I just popped the hood and have no idea how to access the bulbs. same with the number plate lights. CU2

[longers]

car manual yo!

not sure about cu2. but cl9 and accords you can change the parkers through the wall lining of the front wheels. the number plates there should be clips, fiddle around with it and it should pop out. might have to pop out a few of the lining.

[furythree]

fair enough. i dont want to deal with airport and custom fees and stuff, so i wont be buying from nengun then.

ok realllly noob question, how do i replace parkers lol. I just popped the hood and have no idea how to access the bulbs. same with the number plate lights. CU2

First post for me! I have a 2009 CU2 Luxury, and first thing that i noticed was the huge difference between the xenon low beams (blue/white) and the halogen parkers (yellow) and it really looked horrible. I replaced them with some white LED parkers and they are nearly exactly the same colour as the low beams and look much much better. How to do it -

YOU DEFINATELY DON'T NEED TO REMOVE THE WHEEL WELL LINING FOR CU2!

Step 1) Refer to owners manual, its got diagrams and a step by step process on pg. 406 & 410

Step 2) Open hood. To change the right side parker remove the coolant reserve tank by pulling up on it with moderate force (do so in order to gain access to back of lights)

Step 3) remove the socket from the headlight assembly by turning it anticlockwise.

Step 4) pull the bulb straight out and replace it (make sure its in tightly, i lost a bulb into the engine bay because it wasn't in properly!)

Step 5) re-insert the socket (inc. bulb) back into the headlight assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.

Step 6) test (turn on parkers)

Step 7) Replace coolant tank

Step 8) to change the left side parker, remove the two fasteners holding the upper part of the air intake duct and then pull it out.

repeat steps 3-6

Step 9) replace upper part of intake duct and replace fasteners.

Step 10) close bonnet, done!


It sounds difficult, but seriously it is ridiculously simple, anyone can do it.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask

wow! thanks for that reply! so indepth!. nd yes it looks much better. outta curiosity is it legal to have blue parkers? wat about blue number plate lights? i bought white and blue, if i cant use blue parkers then i will use then for number plate lights. actually i dont noe how to change those either

[longers]

blue is illegal

[taccord12]

I have a "super white" parkers with a tint of blue on them, its not a strong blue though so i think it's ok, same with the number plate lights at the back. The only problem is they're not very strong lights

[furythree]

blue is illegal

even for number plates?

i have received the blue ones in the mail. only the white ones, i guess ill have to test them, otherwise $10 in the bin

[denot]

ughhh thats so gay....i dont suppose theres any other part of the car's lighting that uses wedge type t10's. what about the lighting on the door interior when u open it. tho i already have a bazillion blue neons already so its not like i need luminescene in there lol

so ice blue tint is ok but not blue. if a driver gets distracted by that so easily, they shouldnt be driving in the firstplace. stupid rta

I got mine free from a mechanic mate. Who told me vaguely that he got a couple of sets from a Supercheap, Repco, etc kind of store in Sydney. Sorry i can't be more specific. I know others have bought them online and have had good results.
