View Full Version : My new Euro

Well after nearly 8 weeks (since my accident) I finally took delivery of my brand spanking new White Orchid Luxury 6MT Euro.

With no white luxury manuals in WA or coming in any time soon and the prospect of waiting for one to come from the factory (estimated late August) I was desperate!

Thanks to Burswood Honda - they scoured the country and found one in Adelaide. After some delays with shipping, etc, etc, I was able to pick it up from Perth today.

Here are a few initial pics at the dealer and around the traps.

I got the Modulo Aero bar and sports grille and in the flesh it looks awesome and super sporty. Looking at lowering (not much), have already fitted the Enkei Raijins (no good pics yet) and cannot get over how much fun and how comfortable it is to drive. :cool: :)

love at first sight

Stay tuned for more pics. I must say that the Raijins look heaps better in person - have heard that often on other forums - so it is my goal to capture that and bring it to the forum!! :)

Cheers

Thanks Adrian, have sent you a PM regarding the price of the modulo bar and grille. The Raijins I had to source from the states. A guy on eBay in socal (Southern California) and I got them landed in 7 days at a good price.

This is his address http://stores.ebay.com.au/Cozy-Styles/_i.html?_nkw=raijin+114.3&submit=Search&_sid=811071629

My fitment is 18x8.5 ET35 and Hypersilver - was tempted by the 18x9.5, however the degree of poke and aggressive offset made me nervous - in the end I am happy with my choice.

Cheers

That's right. The postage is in the order of ~$220, but is still a good price.

Okay here are some pics with the Raijins on and not in crappy light (or my garage, but taken with my crappy BB) - couldn't wait to get hold of my SLR.

Enjoy

Thanks man - it does look good - will consider in real world (photo touch-up and emphasis happened by accident!) :)


Looking good there mate!

Cheers for that - I am pretty stoked (now for the lowering . . . . . !)

Thanks and I guess rims are in the eye of the beholder. I personally like the mesh wheels, but not a fan of 20 inch super bling type. 5 spoke drift style are okay as well, but mesh is my thang! cheers

My one!

. . . . and a nice one it is too! I was debating about getting the side skirts and rear bumper, but wanted a clean lightweight look - sort of like an IS250 or 350.

cheers
