An intake for that nice deep growl for starters, then maybe some nice rims and lowered.
To me that sounds more realistic for you.

Dont even bother with the exhuast, intake noise is much better than a constant fart noise

thanks!! that sounds like the go :)

with the intake...K&N Pod??

depends what sorta intake you buy,

Ebay intakes usually supply a pod with it, but can depend if you want a branded intake.
maybe search in the for sale section and see if any users are selling any for intake thats for your car

+1 for this! love the sound of hondas induction roar!

you could grab a ITR front lip ... they look sweet

should be some for sale in traders for around 100-200$

keep your eyes open for the 'Optional Dc2 ITR Sideskirts' as well ... the ones with the flared ends - they look a treat on pre-facelifted DC2's and there arnt many around with this

grab an ozhonda sticker for one of your back quarter windows as well =p

Yes its possible. If your a patient person and know what your doing, im sure you can do it yourself, if not workshops can do it.

you can always start by looking on the forum, or maybe ebay.

TheSaint
08-09-2009, 10:23 PM
get led parkers ... they look sweet on Dc2!

also if your car doesnt have a wing at the moment than leave it that way ... over here its really rare to see a Dc2 without a factory wing or holes on the boot lid

10-09-2009, 10:20 PM
haha nah i didnt
i got it in a little dealer off the motor way
about an hour or so from newcastle
i traded in an old 1990 teg and upgraded cause it had a shot clutch and shocks
:( i really liked it..i like the older ones more than the model i have now but it was just cheaper to upgrade rather than repair.

Definately some eibach prokit/sportsline lowering springs and some nice 16" rims.

Then maybe some recaros and itr/nardi steering wheel.

+1 on removing spoiler.

put on a nice set of rims that goes with the paint.
make it low enough sitting on top or just tucking the tyres.
get a lip from shift performace(trader)
and invest in some car detail products to keep the bitch clean!!!
