Accord Euro 2005

[stephen8512]

hey everybody.

I'm about to purchase a brand new 2005 built Accord Euro. (luxury? not sure) next week and I just want to find out some more about this awesome car.
first and foremost, i love the car full stop. its just SOOOOOO DAMN NICE! i cant get over how much i love this car, but then again, all of u guys love it perhaps more than i do right now because most of you actually own one ^^.

i will be purchasing it very shortly, (like i said, next week sometime) and im leaning towards the standard basic model rather than the luxury, basically because of the price.
q1) i was told that if i purchase the base model, i will not have a sunroof option and that if i wanted one, it would have to be aftermarket. is installing an aftermarket sunroof from a place other than HONDA reliable?
q2) i would like the fog lights and HID's that come with the luxury. are these available as accessories later on? or are these exclusive to the luxury?
q3) *just want to ask* im thinking of gettin either white, black, or silver. im leaning towards more to the white. what do you guys think? personally?
q4) is there an option to get leather seats or is this only exclusive to luxury and will i have to get aftermarket leather upholstry from another place than HONDA?

and finally, this is the question i would like answered most

q5) i want to change the bodykit to the MUGEN bodykit (I think its called mugen.....its the bodykit on the ACCORD EURO R.) I have yet to seen this kit for sale and the closest thing ive seen to a front bar that looks like the mugen front is one they sell at CARMATE (http://www.carmate.com.au).
Does anyoone know where i can purchase this awesome kit?

Thanks again for ur help guys and soon enuff i'll be in the select crowd of the honda euro drivers.
heheh EURO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

[bigdongers]

If you want the leather seats, sunroof and fogs and HID's, You would be really silly getting the standard and adding these later on. It will end up costing you heaps more in the long run. Think of it this way

leather seats aftermarket $2000-$2500
Sunroof aftermarket $2000
HIDs - $1000
Fog lights - $700

By going the Luxury, you are also now getting 17 inch rims instead of 16s

i love the car full stop. its just SOOOOOO DAMN NICE! i cant get over how much i love this car

You just said it! BUY IT :D :D

your resale value would also be affected in the long run cause it's a base model and it;s not covered under one warranty, you have to go to 3 different places to cover you Hid, leather seats and sunroof, is it worth the hassle in the long run. plus you be saving heaps works out the same or a bit more but you have the assurance of a full factory warranty on all the parts

[stephen8512]

alrite looks like Accord Euro Luxury is the winner!

no one has answered my question on the bodykit. the mugen one. where to get that in australia? if u can even get it? im located in sydney btw....

[yfin]

Thanks again for ur help guys and soon enuff i'll be in the select crowd of the honda euro drivers.I wish it was a select crowd - no more. The Euros are everywhere now it is getting ridiculous! Sitting at the lights today in St Kilda there were 2 Euros directly behind me - so 3 Euros driving in procession. :( It was like a Ozhonda cruise.

Anyway - go the lux as the additionals you want are in the lux pack. The Accord euro R does not have a mugen body kit. This is the mugen kit below. You can get the mugen kit here - PM pum[z] he got a replica kit which looks good. The real kit will be very expensive but worth it if you have the money.

http://mypage.bluewin.ch/a-z/hazuki/Accord0408223.jpg

[stephen8512]

thanks for the info yfin. how much is the replica and where can i get it from? im in sydney btw. and how much is the real mugen kit?

[yfin]

Pumz posted on another thread that he paid $2500 which is a good price painted and fitted.

I would be surprised if you can get the real and full mugen kit painted and fitted for less than $4500. The real kit is plastic not fiberglass.

PM Pumz re the replica

[stephen8512]

i see i see. when i get the luxury euro, and if i change the front bar, would you know if they make the little headlight washer thingos fit on the bar as well? like in that above pic?

[stephen8512]

by the way, whats with the headlight washer? is it just a luxury thing or is it necessary since the lights are HID?

[yfin]

i see i see. when i get the luxury euro, and if i change the front bar, would you know if they make the little headlight washer thingos fit on the bar as well? like in that above pic?The kit doesn't come with the holes for the washer. Do you need them?

Headlight washers are useful if you drive in antarctica or somewhere prone to constant mud-storms. Serious road grime - maybe if you only wash your Euro every 6 months you might find them useful.

Re the holes - everything can be done - Pumz had this done on his replica kit. I am sure whoever fits the kit can cut the holes. Don't ask me how much - I have no idea but it can be done.

[coladuna]

by the way, whats with the headlight washer? is it just a luxury thing or is it necessary since the lights are HID?
It's illegal to have HID without headlight washer, which is why you'll find that all cars with HID come with the washer.
Defintely go luxury if you want all those stuff BTW.

[stephen8512]

thanks everybody for ur input. really appreciate it. i'll soon join u guys in owning a new euro and hopefully will get to meet u guys in person when we go for cruises and such ^^

[LOC888]

Nice choice mate! :thumbsup:
Definately go the luxury,
Mugen kit would look awesome! But you probably need new wheels as well, imo stocks would look terrible on the mugen kit.:(

[stephen8512]

hmm but the new stock 17" rims that come with the luxury euro 2005 looks hot anyways IMO.
i'll decide once i actually get the mugen kit ^^
thanks for the PM info btw LOC888

wait, LOC888, is euroR kit the mugen kit? or are they 2 different kits>?

The euroR kit and mugen are totally different kits
Mugen
http://www.members.westnet.com.au/loc888/mugen.jpg

EuroR
http://www.members.westnet.com.au/loc888/euroR1.jpg

[euro77]

euroR kit is different to mugen.

euroR kit is basically the body kit found on euroR car (not sold in Australia).
Here's the picture: http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/accordeuro-r/

See the differences compared to mugen? I personally prefer euroR kit. Mugen kit looks 'too big' IMO.

[stephen8512]

wow.....i see.......i really really love that mugen kit.......looks soooo good.....
is that arctic blue? it doesnt seem as BLUE as other blue euros ive seen on net.......

[LOC888]

definately ABP

[stephen8512]

if thats ABP, then the camera is playing tricks on me. ive seen other ABP's and they look WAY brighter than that.....maybe its the photo.
i'll have to see it the ABP myself in the flesh

[coladuna]

LOL. If TypeG in the Jazz section of the forum sees this thread, he'll probably say "Euro is overpriced POS", "People buy Euro to pretend like they are rich", "Honda = JAG, BMW = LV". He's hilarious.

[TypeG]

good kid, flame in yr own section.
To verify that, I LIKE euro but just cant justify to pay 40k+ for a Japanese family car.
I never say ppl buy Euro pretend they are rich but only you.
sorry for all other Euro owners as it contains some personal opinions. If YOU want to claim yr car is FASTER, post it here okay.

[stephen8512]

ok we're seem to be gettin off topic here. lets keep it clean pple ^^

Type G - nice ride - the mods on your Jazz don't look cheap though and you are planning more mods. Instead of all the mods to the Jazz - why didn't you get a base model Euro? - they are definately not 40k+ for the std 6mt. Better car, prob same money in the long run considering all your mods.

[TypeG]

lol
I got the cash to get a Euro Luxury back one the day I test drive the Jazz and Euro. After test drove both, I just go for Jazz and spend half of the money on my car as (I THINK) it is not worth for 40k and I dun want the base model. For long run, I think Jazz will fit my need since the magic seat is just the best design I ever seen.
I think I just off this topic. =)

you've got the cash? Shouldn't you be saying your parents got the cash? that'd be more accurate. Not even 20 yrs old and already have the money to pay cash for an Accord Euro Luxury? haha

You act like you're so value conscious, yet you throw your money down the drain by modifying a little hatchback with no potential? Where's the sense in that? What's with the bonnet? Bit ricy for a Jazz and a complete waste of money.

Shame if you can't read or understand any of the Accord Euro reviews otherwise you wouldn't come here making ridiculous comments like it's not worth $40K, when it's much better than cars costin $50K haha

[Catcha]

So True, the Euro is a bargin compared to other cars in it's class, thats why you see so many, it's like why do you see so many WRX's they are so common, damn right ,but just like the Euro they are value for money and affordable to an average family. A holden acclaim is what 40g also from what i saw..what would you choose.

But eveyone has there choice of modifying like TypeG, that's what he prefers, I would have prefered a Euro but the budget didn't go quite that far yet.
but yeah modifying a Jazz raising some eyebrows but it's whatever make you happy.

With so much supply of Euro's in two years time they will flood the second hand market and make for VERY good buys... that's when i'm getting one.

Fair enough, you are entitled to your own opinion. You are the first person I have ever heard say the Euro is not good value for money! :D

[coladuna]

TypeG, you forgot to say that you bought Jazz over Euro because Jazz is faster. LOL

[TypeG]

you've got the cash? Shouldn't you be saying your parents got the cash? that'd be more accurate. Not even 20 yrs old and already have the money to pay cash for an Accord Euro Luxury? haha
My cash or not is not yr business right? They are in my bank so I have the cash. With yr brain fucntion like this and your manner behave like $hit, I believe you take ages to save up for yr Euro.

Throw into a Jazz is just as same as throw the money into a Euro. Paying for a Euro is already a rip off and you still have to been ripped by Spoon and Mugen. And Euro got any potential? potential of performance on a family car? potential of performance on a shopping cart? LOL Where is my sense? I got bored to that.


Shame if you can't read or understand any of the Accord Euro reviews otherwise you wouldn't come here making ridiculous comments like it's not worth $40K, when it's much better than cars costin $50K haha
Y i need to read the review while I can test drive it?
LOL MUCH BETTER THAN CARS COSTING $50K is a big joke. Now I know y u react like that.

Whatever u say but sorry for other Euro's owner again. I am not meant to flame on yr section but this guy is really ....... :thumbdwn:

[TypeG]

TypeG, you forgot to say that you bought Jazz over Euro because Jazz is faster. LOL
Hahahahahahahahahaha
well post it here if I did post this in forum.
Jazz faster than Euro is never happen

[TypeG]

Fair enough, you are entitled to your own opinion. You are the first person I have ever heard say the Euro is not good value for money! :D
Sorry for that as they are all my own opinion. But I respect yr choice as Euro is a good car to drive.

[yfin]

Paying for a Euro is already a rip off and you still have to been ripped by Spoon and Mugen. And Euro got any potential? potential of performance on a family car? We are way off topic so I think you need to start a new thread in the Accord forum titled "Euro is a rip off". Lets then hear why you hold that view and why you say the Euro has no potential. I have no problem debating an issue - but you can't just say "euro is a rip off" without backing that statement up. So please explain to all of us why the Euro is a rip off. Keen to hear your views - you must know some secret about this critically acclaimed car I have yet to hear...

[coladuna]

You'll be waiting a lifetime to hear any decent reasoning from TypeG. He doesn't know jack about cars which is why his arguments never contain any substantial proofs. Please TypeG, why don't you tell us all why it's a rip off? Hmm... Let me think. It's got more standard equipment than any other car that I can think of in the same price range, it's got more power than its rivals, it's got high build quality and reliability etc. Can you provide even one reason why it's a rip off other than your ridiculous thinking that anything with luxury brand badge is better than anything?

[coladuna]

Haha. So do you go around saying "I'm rich because my parents put money into my bank account~"? Wow, that must make you look so respectable to other people. You are the one who thinks like an idiot. Your parents' money doesn't automatically become your money. Come back when you actually earn your own money before saying all that rubbish. Oh and can you stop with your assumptions because it's getting very tiring. I earn my own money and you don't. Is that enough? haha

And you think you are not getting ripped off? haha. no wonder you are so dumb. You don't even know you are getting ripped. I think 2.4L family car has heaps more potential than a 1.5L shopping cart. Where's your sense? LOL
No wonder your car is all show and no go. haha



Y i need to read the review while I can test drive it?
LOL MUCH BETTER THAN CARS COSTING $50K is a big joke. Now I know y u react like that.

Yeah it seems like a joke to you because you don't have the ability to read the reviews. Why don't you tell the Wheels magazine reviewers that they are a joke? Because that's what they wrote and I'm certain they know heck of a lot more about cars than you ever will.



Whatever u say but sorry for other Euro's owner again. I am not meant to flame on yr section but this guy is really ....... :thumbdwn:
Yeah you are a moron. Does this post by YOU refresh your memory?


Aus Euro is slow anyway
that'y i choose jazz over euro

[TypeG]

woo you earn your own money. that's great but Aus government pay for my sch fee, I cant think of any reason y I have to start working. Also I am working in my dad's company now. I am back here to talk with you.

you refresh my memory and???
where can I find "Euro is slower than Jazz

[Alpine]

Sounds like you are one of those spoilt kids with everything given to them on a silver platter. You'll no doubt lead a very lavish sheltered life, especially if you're working in your dad's company. But in the real world, I'd like to see how you'd survive on your own two feet if you didn't have the shelter your parents give you.

[NeoNode]

Best Motoring is all the proof you need to see the potential of the Euro. ;)
They do make a Euro R but no Jazz R :p

[stephen8512]

ok people......we've had flame for a while now and i can smell gun powder everywhere ^^
TypeG, if you're happy with ur jazz, then thats all that matters... what you drive and how you live ur life is no ones business as you said. we're all here because we have one thing in common and thats that we all drive honda's. oh and also, i think i can safely say that we all are car lovers. Whichever Honda car you drive, you know that Honda is going to live up to its name and give u an exhilirating experience.
So lets cut the flaming yeah? ^^

[LOC888]

Nicely said stephen8512!:thumbsup:

[stephen8512]

hey fellas. goin to Rick D's this saturday (8/1/05) to order my euro. getting it in satin silver, luxury model, with the body trim and of course, they come with the now standard stock 17" rims.....I LOVE THOSE RIMS!
i want it, i want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^

thx for reminding me and I am very confident on my knowledge in the real world.

[TypeG]

Euro got R
Jazz got no R but Dynamite from Mugen
And thai got Dynamite for sale.

[Alpine]

thx for reminding me and I am very confident on my knowledge in the real world.
Your english isn't very good though.

[NeoNode]

Euro got R
Jazz got no R but Dynamite from Mugen
And thai got Dynamite for sale.Now why would you go comparing a Mugen to a Honda, compare a Mugen with a Mugen and a Honda with a Honda.
That's like comparing a standard WRX to a STi.

I don't see Honda Thailand advertising them on their website. But then again it's only a concept car, lol.

[bigdongers]

alright thats enough now.

as stephen8512 thats enough flaming now. Cant we all just get along???

Our family owns a Jazz, a CRV, and an MDX. I will definitely get a Euro but only once my finances allow. Bottom line all Hondas are fine cars. There is no need to flame each other. If you got something constructive to say, say it. If not, keep it to yourself.

[TypeG]

Potential issue.


Now why would you go comparing a Mugen to a Honda, compare a Mugen with a Mugen and a Honda with a Honda.

I don't see Honda Thailand advertising them on their website.

[stephen8512]

bigdongers, nicely put ^^
MDX and CRV? wow. so many hondas! hahahhaa. i guess it IS true waht they say (or at least my mate, who owns a 2000 prelude AND a 50th anniversary ltd edition accord), "once you buy a honda, u wont ever look towards anything else"

hmm maybe perhaps a beemer? or a lexus? nahhhh......hondas all the way ^^
but im not stupid. if someone gave me a mclaren F1 or a koennigsegg CCR something, i would take that over euro. LOL ^^

my family is considering updgrading from a toyota prado VX grande to somethin else.....how does the MDX drive if u dont mind me asking?

[TypeG]

Your english isn't very good though.yes but is enough to work there since the company is in HK. LOL

enough to argue my person ability anyway.
thx for flaming
=)

[bigdongers]

my family is considering updgrading from a toyota prado VX grande to somethin else.....how does the MDX drive if u dont mind me asking?
I personall find the MDX a great drive. The V6 has heaps of power. Just take it for a drive, plant your foot and prepare to be amazed! We bought it cause it looked cool, was very luxurious and had 7 seats. The prado is a different car as its bigger and would be much better off road. We never take ours off road so its not an issue.

Yeah our Honda bloodline runs deep. Before my CRV I drove a 94 Integra VTiR and my sister drives a 91 Civic Gli. We have also had a 95 Civic sedan and 91 Honda Accord too.

[Catcha]

my family is considering updgrading from a toyota prado VX grande to somethin else.....how does the MDX drive if u dont mind me asking?

From Prado to MDX, Prado VX or the current new releases are damn good and have won Most of the 4wd awards, guess if you not planning to take it off road and using it only in the city guess it would be fine look at a MDX. :D

[Lowenhart]

What about a X5..... :D

[stephen8512]

Catcha, we currently have the one before the current model. VX. Its ok but we've had it since 1999 and its time for an upgrade ^^
Lowenhart, yeah an X5 would be really really nice. I lvoe the lexus RX330. its so stylish and sexy ^^

[coladuna]

woo you earn your own money. that's great but Aus government pay for my sch fee, I cant think of any reason y I have to start working. Also I am working in my dad's company now. I am back here to talk with you.
Oooh. Big deal. Try and find a job somewhere other than in your daddy's company. I wonder whether anyone will even look at your resume or invite you for an interview. You call that earning your own money? haha. You sound so much like some chinese people I know. They are all stupid and can't even speak english properly even after living in Australia for many years and they all have daddys who have their own company. They all end up graduating in some shithole uni in Australia and end up working in their daddy's company because they can't find anything else to do on their own. Typical story with spoilt, dumb kids with rich parents.



Heaps potential. LOL potential on what? Euro?
Yes. Can't you read a simple sentence? You can make most cars fast as long as you have the dough. So what? Is that why your Jazz is all show and no go despite the fact that it has ALL THAT POTENTIAL. *chuckles*
Once again. Just because a car doesn't have many aftermarket parts available, it doesn't mean it's a bad car or a rip off haha.



you refresh my memory and???
where can I find "Euro is slower than JazzHa. It's not my fault that your English is so bad that it leads other people to misunderstand you. Unless you didn't know using the sentences 'Aus Euro is slow anyway' and 'That's why I chose Jazz" together basically implies that Jazz is faster. So don't blame me for getting it wrong if you didn't mean that because it's your fault.

[et11]

Hey Coladuna, take it easy, i know u and TypeG has an argument, but u just cant say all chinese are stupid. I know some of them cant speak english properly, but that is their second language, imagine if u live in other country and trying to speak in their language.
This thread is about "Accord Euro 2005", so pls keep it that way.

[qmjona]

How about you blokes start a new thread called 'lets shit on each other'
and if anyone has any info about the new 2005 euro they can post it here.

Dosen't bother me if that's what you want to do though, good for a laugh.

Problem is I'm more interested in any info people have about the new model. Did anyone actually confirm if the new actually lux has suspention mods or not to go with the 17's?

[albii]

i think the only diff is the wheels

[Peekay34]

They have tweaked the suspension and given the car 17"s on the Euro Luxury

[one more chance]

fcuken kids...

TypeG..

u say thailand has the dynamite... u sure? cos i work in BKK now and if they do, ill put my down payment on straight away! we'd u get this info from?

[Catcha]

I think that is a bit over the top sure you are fuming, but to call all chinese stupid. sure he may have a rich daddy but it take brains to run a company. that's life, i know heaps of people like that. Some are good some turn out bad. Maybe his too young to realise, acutally i think alot of members are in the teens ,just by seeing the replies people make are very inconsistent and and not supported by anything like TypeG.

TypeG you should have kept you mouth shut. it's like going on a Holden forum and raving on about Fords, your going to get flamed big time.

coladuna the bad thing is that there is going to be a TypeG or TypeE person on a forum talking rubbish, uneducated people, making claims they pull out of there ass, you can keep flaming them but they won't care why cause they don't realise.

hahha there was a Subaru liberty guy coming on a WRX forum and he stated that a WRX was a substandard car, let the flaming war being, things were said about liberty drivers being old ,and this and that. it happens everywhere, and i don't want to start a cat fight over WRX's or liberty's ok.


Just live with it and let it go, why stress over something so minor :D

[coladuna]

Hey Coladuna, take it easy, i know u and TypeG has an argument, but u just cant say all chinese are stupid. I know some of them cant speak english properly, but that is their second language, imagine if u live in other country and trying to speak in their language.
This thread is about "Accord Euro 2005", so pls keep it that way.
I think that is a bit over the top sure you are fuming, but to call all chinese stupidI didn't say ALL chinese are like that but I can say there are a lot of people who are like that. I'm also an Asian and English is my second language FYI. Sorry about the flame war but I just don't have any respect for someone who just comes out and says something outrageous (eg. Jazz is faster than Euro, Euro is rip off, Euro owners bought Euro because we couldn't afford a BMW etc) without any evidences or reasonings to back it up.

They are all stupid and can't even speak english properly even after living in Australia for many years and they all have daddys who have their own company.

That is what you had typed above quoted word for word. Now if i didn't know better i would say it was directed at all, now such a simple misunderstanding can turn into such a cat fight, i'm not going to look at TypeG stuff cause i got better things to do. and this is my last post about this matter.

let's get back to talking about cars...:D

[coladuna]

That is what you had typed above quoted word for word. *sigh* Notice the sentence before that which reads 'You sound so much like SOME chinese people I know'. Hence, I'm referring to those chinese people that I know when I say 'they are all stupid' etc. I don't know why people don't read other people's posts properly. Sorry about dragging this on but I don't like to be accused of something which I know didn't do.

fcuken kids...

TypeG..

u say thailand has the dynamite... u sure? cos i work in BKK now and if they do, ill put my down payment on straight away! we'd u get this info from?

TypeG you should have kept you mouth shut. it's like going on a Holden forum and raving on about Fords, your going to get flamed big time.


Okay mate.

I just got the info here
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13174And how are these considered a production car at all?
If you want to compare at least compare oranges with oranges.
The Sultan of Brunei has concepts cars, are you going to use he's cars in your comparison to the Accord Euro as well? :rolleyes:

Like I said it's like comparing a WRX STi to a Standard WRX, except you go compare it to a concept car :rolleyes: .
LoL don't worry I don't really see you backing up what you say, so i'll just wait for the "Potential Issue' line from you again.

[TypeG]

That 's not a concept car. Mugen itself only got the red on in their office but in thailand, they made range of colours in manual and auto.
Potential issue? Mugen made dynamite Jazz because they have no potential? Well, this will be my last post in here and I will just open another thread on this topic in Jazz section. Welcome to come and discuss over there. Thx.:wave:

You got the info from the other thread, it doesn't state much about these cars and it's purpose.

So who is pissed that there was no price change for the Euro ????

[kanthan]

spoke to honda spare parts....rims cost $650 each not including tyres...i also asked whether it would be possible to upgrade the suspension to accommodate the new rims on a 2004 version...he said he wont even bother pricing it cause it would not be feasible to upgrade it. worth a try.

[albii]

650 per rim ??? what a joke you can put 18s on it with tyres for less

[Catcha]

Exactly what i reckon, fair enough people want there car to look like the updated model, but wouldn't a set of aftermarket rims set you car apart from the rest of the thousands of Euros on the road ? and they look better than the standard ones, not that i would be complaining, but updating the original 16inch to 17inch? why ? just go aftermarket. Yet i see eveyone complaining about how you see Euro's everywhere. Do something about it then, getting 17inch factory rims ain't going to set you apart from the rest.

[Catcha]

Catcha, we currently have the one before the current model. VX. Its ok but we've had it since 1999 and its time for an upgrade ^^
Lowenhart, yeah an X5 would be really really nice. I lvoe the lexus RX330. its so stylish and sexy ^^
Well if money is not really and issue why not ? the merc would be my choice, sex on wheels those things

[coladuna]

Pfft.There's no way I would pay $650 for just one of those rims. What an utter rip off that is.

[bigdongers]

Not to worry there is going to be a excess of second hand models with under 50000km that are going to be ripper buys for second hand hunters.........so why buy new when you can get near new :D

man i got my bsa shadow chromes in 18 with tyres for $1550 fitted balanced and wheel aligned and they look ten times better than the standard 17s.....mind you i was looking around to see if i could score the original charcoal five spokes in 17 that are sold with the uk cars they look awesome...

[stephen8512]

yeah i agree with albii. 17" stock honda wheels wont set u apart from all the other 2005 luxury euro buyers. for everyone who bought their euro's in 2004 or watnot, dont fret because when i get mine, im gonna change the wheels and probably sell the original stock 17's for half the price honda is suggesting. maybe less. i'll keep u guys posted ^^

EDIT : spelling mistake :S

[euro77]

most of Honda's accessories are way overpriced. It's a 'genuine' thing I suppose. It's like buying things of a well known brand compared to a never heard brand. Some people would love to increase their stock wheel size with a genuine honda wheel to keep the originality. I know I was like that before.. that's before I realise there are better value for money (and better performing) apart from original equipment.

by the way, can anyone confirm if we (pre '05 euro) can change the spare wheel bucket to accomodate a full size spare wheel (using the '05 parts)? I'm thinking if I change my wheels, I might use one of my stock wheel as the spare wheel. That way if I happen to have any puncture, I can still drive safely with my spare.

[McChook]

By the way - Have you ever heard of WAITING......
You'll be able to buy them used shortly - Some tool will go buy crap wheels and wanna sell his Euro wheels to get some money back....

And that price is still cheaper than buying them in the US - they are US$600 a rim for my DC5R wheels, and the Euro R wheels are the same price

If you go up a size from stock rim, it will void warranty on everything related.

Not unless Honda can demonstrate the change in rim caused the issue.

[EURO MY05]

Thanks

They truck carry it of course.

They don't have to demonstrate physically.
All they will say, for example, when your electronic power steering fails, is that EPS hasn't been designed and tested to handle the extra weight of larger/heavier rims. There's nothing you can do about it if they do.

There's nothing you can do about it if they do.Sorry, it is not that simple. Yes, they may say what you have suggested but that does not mean it is necessarily lawful. A court may disagree, for example, as to whether the electronic power steering unit was of a merchantable quality when it failed (eg Trade Practices Act). These items have a reasonable life. So there is plenty you can do about it. Whether the customer contributed to the damage is relevant, however, can Honda show causation? Or was it simply a faulty power steering unit? Call on the expert evidence! :D
