RB1-ODC **Stance Build Thread**

[Rage King]

Hi Guys,

Got an RB1-ODC, and had it for a while now, but i think its time to build her up for the stance appearance... not too ricey but a clean bangabus :)

The ODC is complete stocker at the moment, apart from the Black ass tint all round and a set of SMD/LED interior and exterior lights fitted. So far ive got some parts that is being prepped up for fitting but just havent had the time to do it..

Parts TBF (to be fitted)
- Philips 35w 6k Slim digital ballast HID kit (INSTALLED)
- Absolute Fog Light kit (INSTALLED)
- Reverse Cam with Sensor RearView mirror kit
- DBA wiperslot front rotors (INSTALLED)

Parts on order
- HKS Hipermax Cwagon coilovers (To be installed soon)
- K&N Drop in Filter (INSTALLED)
- Genuine Black Floor mat set (To be installed soon)

Wish/WTB Parts
- Modulo/Absolute roof spoiler
- Modulo/Absolute side skirts
- Modulo Front Lip (INSTALLED)
- Modulo Rear Lip (To be installed soon)
- Mugen Grill (INSTALLED)
- 19inch Wheels (pref staggered config)
- HARDRACE Rear adjustable camber kit (To be installed)
- Rear sway bar kit (must be thicker than OEM is 12-14mm)
- Complete K24A JDM Spec / Absolute ODC or Accord Type R (Searching)


So i guess ill be doing this nice and slow as parts are hard to come by and i will update with pics, progress of my build.

any inputs or suggestions is appreciated :thumbsup:

[Rage King]

does anyone know what are the interior dash colour variants? as my dash and cluster lights are all BLUE ... is this standard AUDM?

[AusAccord]

yes, blue is standard for AUDM. JDM pre-FL Absolute is red and thats the only different color for RB1

Nice... what year and colour is your RB1? Hope it's not a Face-lifted 06+ Silver ;)

Just a few things you might want to consider:

1) Check that the bezel on your foggies will fit your Modulo lip kit as the ones for the Absolute model is different.

2) Would suggest you go the full hog and upgrade front and rear rotors and pads plus get Stainless Steel brake lines. You will not get any braking improvement just with front slotted rotors.

3) Go for K&N filter, HKS is a use and throw away, where as K&N is washable.

[Rage King]

My ODC is pearl white..

Edit: pre-FL - 10/2005

Any locals selling braided brake lines?

What pads do u recommend?

Ill see how i go with the fog lights as i know i got to cut through the front bumper.

Do you know if there are markings behind the front bumper so i can use it as a cut out guide? My kit didnt come with any templates etc.

[AusAccord]

let me guess then, your is a pre-FL RB1. as far as i know only aka_NSX DIYed foglight kit on pre-FL model here

yep it is.

i hope he sees this thread and shed some light on my situation.

[AusAccord]

actually its not hard to take the front bumper off then you will see if any trace marks by Honda
i've done that by myself and its fun!!

Might tackle the foglight install this weekend. got a dremel kit to ease up the tight cutting.. just gotta figure out the wiring/harness of the foglight ..

Also do you know if the 3rd row seats need to be in IGN mode to power up?

Actually I wouldn't recommend getting fog lights only because I haven't used mine at all after installing them, but yeah only aka_NSX has done the install for a pre-facelift and his ODC has got the Modulo front lip as well.

In terms of pad recommendations, I've heard EBC green/red is good for grip and less brake dust
I haven't used them before as I'm using a Big Brake kit upgrade on the front with proprietary pads and RDA rotors and pads on the rear

Not sure who does SS brake lines for the Odyssey locally as mine came with the BBK upgrade kit, might have to ask some brake places?

Key doesn't need to be inserted to operate the auto 3rd row, but I think the car must be on ground (ie not jacked up). I had the car up on the hoist once and tried to operate the third row and it wouldn't move.

[Rage King]

^^ thanks for the clarificaiton..

with regards to drop in K&N filter ..is this the correct part number for it? K&N 33-2072 or is this a part number that is compatible to our ODC?

i need the fog/driving lights as i do alot of distance driving int he night :)

[evolution]

I beleive it is a compatible part #

Do the foggies help? They do bugger all difference for me. The HID conversion helped a lot more

yes it does help for me - especially in the dark woods/forest drive through. LOL.

might change the bulb to a HID kit too for the foggies. :)

[Rage King]

anyone know what these 17in wheels came from?

wheel ET specs?

http://site.icbmotorsport.com/Used_JDM_Honda_Parts/Wheel287_JDM_Accord_CL7_17X7_5X1143_55offset_4.jpg

according to the web they are euro R wheels?

[AusAccord]

looks like Euro R. not sure ET, may be +55 or even +60 if really from JDM

[Rage King]

looks like Euro R. not sure ET, may be +55 or even +60 if really from JDM

do they have these wheels locally in the AUDM Euro's? (NON -R)

got a set of these puppies lastnight and gunna wack them on the ODC for now until funds become available for 18x9 staggered sets :)

came with 225/45/17 tyres.

[AusAccord]

believe AUDM CL9 comes with this style not sure same spec.
rolling diameter with 225/45/17 is way off by 4.714% to oem 215/60/16, not recommend mate!!

[evolution]

The wheels are OEM Honda made by Enkei, 17x7 +55

I beleieve, this design comes standard on the JDM CL7 Euro R in gunmetal

AUDM Accord Euro 05 CL9 Lux, 06 CL9 Sport and 07 Limited Edition came with these as well, but in Silver.

They aren't that 'special', but they look nice

As for the tires, they are too small, you will need to change to a 50 profile tire to fit on the Odyssey to get the proper speedo reading

to make this worthy - must be 40 series right?

otherwise whats the worse case scenario? speedo will be off?

EDIT: 50 series ...thanks

Hi Rage King

Welcome to the ODC family :p

18's arent going to give you "stance" your going to need some 20's and what do you know i have some mint AME's FS :) below are some images so give me a shout

[F] 20x8.5 +40
[R] 20x9.0 +38

Also, again relating to "stance" imo the TEIN's arent going to give you that ride height you need to achieve "stance" It's lowest setting will be too high (but thats just me bcos i love super low) i'd suggest some RSR's or bag it :)

car also needs to be in [P] "park" for it to operate :)

[Rage King]

wow 2k1cvc - that is some nice ODC u got ... 20's is abit too big for me, as the bangabus is always fully loaded, hence why 18's or 19's worse case is what im looking for.

also i dont want too much issues with rubbing/rolling etc. but yes i know what you mean by stance. :)

RSR's? - how much are they? similar to Teins super flex wagon?

EDIT: your front bar - did that come with the oem foggies already? or did you have them cut in and installed?

[markismaximus]

Build thread and not 1 pic of the car... come on

[Rage King]

LOL.

its coming, just looks abit sad right now, as its completely stock and havent had time to fit anything as yet :(

ill update thread with pics once ready ...

[markismaximus]

that's alright.

that's what a build thread is all about. if you don't have pics from the start of the build what will we compare the finished product to....

[DakDak]

My mum has an Odyssey. Spacious, very comfy. Best car to sleep in.

everyone knows what a stock looking ODC looks like ..hehe but ill post one up just for a BEFORE look progress :)


My mum has an Odyssey. Spacious, very comfy. Best car to sleep in.

haha ... yes tell me about it. when the mrs kicks me out of the house - rather than sleeping in the doggy house, go to the ODC and layout the back seats and crash on the pillows/blanket with style. - Free wifi too (car parked on driveway) :)

[evolution]

markismaxinus has got a point there.... pics or no more help ��

[Rage King]

^^^^ you got a point there.... pics or no more help

Its coming .. Dont u worry :)

[AusAccord]

must admit Odyssey is not spacious enough now....... but driving more like go kart compares to spacious enough haha

[Rage King]

^^ true.. maybe its time for a Delica or El Grande :)

i like these rims on this ODC ...but not that big and cambered. i think its got 20's on it ...18-19's for me imo.

20 is never to big :p 20’s are the new 18’s…. Trust me :p, if you bought 18’s, you will wish you bought 20 :p This was my daily only until recently, I have no issues with scrubbing however I did roll the rear wheels arch lips a little just in-case as I’m running a -1 camber. It is the size & width (before anything more aggressive) with no issues what so ever. Are you in Sydney? You must see to understand J

With that said perhaps a Odyssey meet In Sydney guys?

RSR’s I bought 2nd from a guy in this forum, he they go much lower than the TEIN’s so with 20’s you won’t have a issue.

Got the foggies installed from Honda Dealer a week after buying the car, they stuffed up something in our papers so gave us free foggies. They cut and installed J

A few guys here are on 20’s…. There is 3 RB1’s that I know of and 2 RB3’s and we all dads with fams J

[Rage King]

^^ yes your prob right.

a sydney meet would be nice, like to see the other ODC's around. i see a white one around my area but forgot the plates. (western syd).

where can the RSR's be bought? O/S i guess? linkage?

only reason is i always have a full load in the car and dont want scrubbing whatsoever. maybe 19's would be the way to go for me.

what would be the ideal ET for fronts - 19x8 and rear -19x9 for a deep dish look?

would i need to roll any guards?

will i need camber kits?

Rim size is not going to cause you scrubbing, it’s how aggressive you play around with offset and width of rim plus how low you go, that will determine if you scrub or not.

The more dish, the crazier your offset and width will be – the closer you get to scrubbing and having to roll guards.

My previous set up was just with springs (which was great) TEIN S-TECH (1.5inch drop) with 20x8.5 +40 all round no scrubs, no guard rolling or anything – perfect for just everyday driving with 2 kids in the back, and looks clean and simple – see below


http://i.imgur.com/EArnhl.jpg[/IMG

http://i.imgur.com/eI61wl.jpg[/IMG

20 is not too big especially for this car, I think they are the perfect size.


Since we bought our 2nd family car, it was no longer the daily so I bought these new 20’s that I have explained above,

http://i.imgur.com/ETAwHl.jpg[/IMG

however I want a more aggressive look as it’s no longer a daily “20x10 +35(R)” and (20x8.5 +30(F)” so hence I am selling them.

If you want anything like the video you have shown, you will definitely need to roll your guards and select a bigger rim size.

Camber kits? Well it depends if you want to save your tyres, here is a pic (not so good as its side on) of my car without camber kits and dumped to its lowest setting

You should be able to tell that the rear has massive camber so if that is a look your after, then don’t bother getting them

http://i.imgur.com/Y9jMjl.jpg[/IMG

If you want a more “phat/flush” look, them get them (refer to this thread)

Hope this helps man

[Rage King]

Thanks dude,

I like the first rims u got dude, i like that style rather than the bling.. I think your right with 20's makes it look good but what was your profile ? 30/35?

So a 20x8.5 +40 will fit wthout any rolling, scrubbing, camber .. That seems to be a better look and spec for me..

Thanks again...

Btw u still got those first rims? Lol

[evolution]

Rage King, just my 2 cents.

Generally what sort of driving do you do? If its mostly smooth roads, then a low car with large rims and mad camber is still alright. But if the roads are rough, I wouldn't recommend going past 18" rims for comfort and going too low will cause shit loads of problems. The Odyssey is pretty long and getting stuck on humps and enduring scrapes to the under carriage is not fun.

Low and big wheels is cool, but just remember the Odysseys you see are from Japan and their roads are much flatter and smoother than Australia. Fit those specs on a daily be prepared to loose some comfort. But I'm sure you already know that :)

[Rage King]

^^thanks for the advice bud.

Yes that is exactly why i want 18-19" as i do alot of interstate driving. So being too low is a no go.

Ill test trial the height once i get coilovers Then ill choose from there what wheel size to get.

Old wheels are gone sorry... New wheels are still available and are runnning on 225/35/20 with 3 month old Yokohama tyres (pretty much brand spanking new)

I also still have the TEIN springs FS and you can see the ride height as per my pics posted.

PM me if you would like to check them out, can do something really affordable if you take them all :)

[mr180sx]

i have tein super wagons on my odc on the lowest setting and is not really low enough for me. So if your looking to slam your odc i would recommend not using tein super wagons. Maybe go BC coilovers if you want slammed.

[Rage King]

^^pics of ODC?

Super flex suppose to be the to of the line for the teins ?

[evolution]

Well done mate, the fact that you can install your own rotors means your DIY skills are way better than most of us here :)

How are you supposed to control the foggies with a non-OEM kit? My OEM kit requires a change to the indicator stalk and when the foggies get switched on there is an icon that appears in the instrument cluster, will this kit also have an indicator when foggies are switched on?

[Rage King]

Thanks bud.

Well, the kit came with a switch which looks like oem type with a light indicator.

This kit was suppose to be plug and play, but its not.

There is a fused cable with a brown plug looks like this is the direct battery power.

Then a thin red wire with a pigtail which doesnt seem to plug anywhere oem style.

So im going to cut off the pigtails and wire up this red cable to the parklight switch which is fused at the IGN point. This way if i forget to switch off the main foglight switch once i remove the key it will auto shut off.

Only downfall is i wont have the fog light indicator on the cluster.

Im looking at a switch lever in YAJ but they dont fckin respond or ship OS. :(

[evolution]

link to the item you are looking at on YAJ?

[Rage King]

^^ ill find the link tmr.. Tired already..

Well ive managed to figure out the wiring. Had to solder here and there and also extend the power cables :(

Shes pretty much good now except to finish the last wire for the park light splice in and the bottom spash guards at the front bar.

Then test drive the new rotors tmr.




Next plans;
- prep, refurbish, paint modulo rear lip with the rear bar (to match colour)
- source coilovers
- source decent headers and change dump pipe to back piping to 2.5".

Q's

Would an after market headers and 2.5inch exhaust system make any difference to the power / torque of the ODC? - in other words is it worth to do but using the oem muffler to maintain the noise levels quite?

[AusAccord]

wah, really a big plan on your modding list...... i have a catback FGK for our K24A and sounds fun.
hit me up/make an offer if you want any parts from mine. i'm in Syd and now sure how often your will come over.

nah not really big plans just want it to flow and response better especially along the highway driving ..

also i dont want the noise to change. right now its all OEM quiteness and id like to maintain that noise levels. hence why ill retain the oem muffler and just change all the piping front header to back.

was even thinking of sourcing an Absolute ECU plug and play but dont know if our AUDM motors will cater the absolute ecu tune.

[AusAccord]

hmm... interesting.... thought (i've never done any on my previous/current rides) header mod is the most noise on exhaust work.
IMO, better not think about Absolute ecu to AUDM motor unless engine swap. need power -> bolt-on FI is the way to go

yeh i guess so .. no point for absolute ecu might as well just get kpro ftw! lol.

but nah im not going to go down that path ...probably just full 2.5inch exhaust to match the downpipe from the headers (as this is bigger in diameter than the rest of the piping).

***UPDATE***

Some parts arrived;

- K&N Drop in Filter,
- 35W 6k HID

Parts to arrive soon;

- Interior white SMD kit
- front parker & number plate SMD lights
- 55w 6k HID kit
- Modulo Roof spoiler

Parts waiting on back order;

- Mugen front grill
- Modulo side skirts
- HARD RACE rear camber kit
- DS2500 front brake pads




fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu there goes holiday funds :)

[evolution]

Will it make the car perform better with a header and piping change will leaving the mufflers stock? There will still be exhaust restrictions at the mufflers. I don't think doing that will have any performance gains, but I don't know enough about these things cos I've not done a full IHE change.

The FGK exhaust AusAccord has is I think one of the quietest full catback systems based on a video I saw a few years ago. We have a thread on exhaust db levels

The Absolute ECU would have been tuned for the performance JDM (200bhp) K24A which has different internals to our economy K24A6 (160bhp). So getting the ECU without the engine is going to be a waste of time. HKS bolt on turbo kit for the Odyssey is the simplest way to increase performace.

Don't think KPro will work on our car, mostly I've seen Unichip Ver Q being used. From what I have heard Unichip+Exhaust+intake change will only increase HP by 15-20. But all this is based on reading what other people have written in forums.

Err not wanting to be a wet blanket, but you do know that HID's at that Kelvin perform really badly in rain and fog. Your foglights in normal conditions will be bright as hell and most prob blind on coming traffic, but will be useless in fog.

in my old ride i had 8k kelvin HID's on a non projector and that was blinding but performed well in the night and rain .. but our ODC's are projectors so i dont know what the outcome will be - once fitted then ill know. BUT yes you are right depending on how heavy the rain is any lights are bad unless your using yellow bulbs imo.

6K is not as bad as the 8K kelvin ..as ive test trialed both in my old ride, and found 6k whiter than 8k having a tab bluish effect which is shit. lol

yes i guess your right... whats the point of having a full exhaust and retaining the oem muffler :( . in saying that what is the FGK brand? i watched a youtube of another ODC with the HKS legamx and on idle he was revving it and it didnt sound too loud ..

hmmm might have to dig further into this before buying any exhaust parts as yet. Maybe just a header to CAT (replace oem CAT) and leave all catback oem. there will still be restrictions but as long as it runs abit better .

[evolution]

in my old ride i had 8k kelvin HID's on a non projector and that was blinding but performed well in the night and rain .. but our ODC's are projectors so i dont know what the outcome will be - once fitted then ill know. BUT yes you are right depending on how heavy the rain is any lights are bad unless your using yellow bulbs imo.

6K is not as bad as the 8K kelvin ..as ive test trialed both in my old ride, and found 6k whiter than 8k having a tab bluish effect which is shit. lol

I change my Odyssey's low beams to 4300k and left the foggies stock. My Civic has 6000k and I feel the 4300k might be the best compromise between output and visibility.

FGK is short for Fujitsubo, AusAccord and aka_NSX has the FGK Wagolis, Atjo and I have the HKS Legamax Premium although mine was for the Absolute model and needed modifications to fit. The Youtube you saw was most probably Atjo's system. Another member Mobil1 had the HKS hiPower 409 and that one was loud. Most companies only make cat back systems for the RB1, might be a challange to find a header.

[Rage King]

^^Thanks...i think ill leave the extra performance as the last solution.. :)

Any one know what is the OD of the oem front rotors? 300mm?

thinking of test trial fitment using JDM DC5R/RSX front Brembo calipers. - apparently they are fitted on the dc5R's OEM 300mm rotor as well, so the only thing is the thickness, inside diameter clearance and caliper mounting positions will be the culprits. Theyre both 5x114 PCD's so that shouldnt be an issue.

now to find brembos locally to trial fit. :( got a mate whos got the set but hes too scared to remove them for trial fitment LOLOLOLOL

[AusAccord]

yes, 300mm for our front rotor. no need to think of JDM Brembo, nothing directly bolt on as verbally confirmed by my mechanic, offset issue.
who wants a set of Brembo with rotor for bolt onto RB1??

[evolution]

yes OEM is 300mm F 305mm R

I've read, to fit DC5R Brembos, you need S2000 rotors.

As you can see I've read a bit, but never tried hahahahaha

its hard to confirm these things unless someone has physically installed / test trialled themselves.. :(

if its just offset issue then a bracket can be made up... - all test and trial i guess.

im just thinking of a brake upgrade due to the heavy load of the ODC when stopping . such a crappy feel. so if my mate allows me to test trial fit one and spin the rotors freely without issues then well know then...but for the meantime ill just keep dreaming :p hahaha

i dont want to spend 2k+ for BBK as not really speeding or anything...more for just safety :)

believe my mechanic tested fit a set of JDM Brembo either from DC5R/FD2R onto RB1 with no luck. also JDM DC5R/FD2R Brembo has cast bracket so custom bracket is no go, only shave and spacer can be done. have said all above or on OH, i'm no expert on modification but just a normal RB1 user only....

Mr Ling, you need to get SMD LEDs, the normal LEDs are just too dim.

The number plate ones are just T10 wedge bulbs, just make sure you get about 5 SMD LEDs per bulb

Just parts in general, from the auto shops, dealers etc

I try to get aftermarket parts locally, if all fails then i turn to egay, or google etc.

If oem parts is required, i try the dealers then wreckers first then if all fails back to the web searching..

you will need T10 SMD purely pointing downward. also need some finger nail clear coat make the cover transparent
something like below but be careful the length as need to accommodate covers. mine is only big SMD and can lights up the ground as well.

Also installed Mugen Grill.

Compliments from a dude on here - thanks bro!

THE EPIC FAIL!!! :(

NOW AFTER 30mins of running the HiD s ive decided to feel the bulb base housing the fckin whole bulb fell off!!

Thas right it fell off from the mounting points!!

Turns out the locking clips on the bulb black plastic bit couldnt withstand the heat that the bulb generated and melted/broke off!!

So now i need a better quality H11 6k bulb. This is what happens when u buy crappy cheap stuff from O/S.

The ballast and wiring looks good quality and didnt even heated up but the bulb was a POS.

Ive msg the dude who ive bought this kit resolve or send the replacement bulb or refund a portion of my $$ so i can buy a better quality H11 hid bulb.

Anyone got links of quality H11 35w 6k bulb only??

Nah the complete interior are pretty easy, u just need a really thin flat head so u dont destroy or scratch the covers/finishes.

The after effect please, and can you show me what do you mean by the parkers light?

Another "silly" questions from me
1. Have you installed the BBK?How do you feel after installing it?
2. If not mistaken you got HID kit installed on your odyssey. where did you hide the ballasts as it is illegal to install HID kit right?And how did you adjust the level?

Parker lights are the ones at the front next to your low beams but inside your high beam lens.

1) i only installed wiper slot front rotors and better brake pads. Calipers are the same. It feels much better than the stock rotors and stops quicker!

2) i did have HID but the bulbs were defective. So right now im not running them until the replacements arrive but still have the ballasts installed.

The ballasts are installed next to the top strut towers. As pictured on my pics. Others have installed theirs under the headlight housing. Icbf taking out my headlights hence why i installed them where i placed it. Looks legit and professional.

Its not illegal to run HID on our cars as they came HID option and we have projector lenses. As long as you dont use stupid colours above 8000k lumins then you should be right.

U shouldnt have to adjust the levels unless they were off. The adjusting screws are on the back of the low beam headlight housing.


Hope this helps. Just look at my pics and what others have done - you should be ok.

[QUOTE=Rage King;3515893]Its not illegal to run HID on our cars as they came HID option and we have projector lenses. As long as you dont use stupid colours above 8000k lumins then you should be right.QUOTE]

Errr actually it is 'illegal' to fit HID on our cars, because you need projector head lights, head light washers and self levelling. It just isn't as obvious on our cars because of the projectors and the boys in blue can't be bothered with family 7 seater wagons. So as long as you don't go for some wierd a55 purple colour, you should be fine. I suggest sticking to at most 6000k, 4300 to be safe.

ODC headlights do have oem projectors. Theyre just no auto leveling etc.

My ucle who works at repairing headlights has all sorts of HID bulbs, ballasts and auto leveling motors. And at one stage when i worked there, i came across lots of RB ODC headlights.

Its funny that the regulations say that auto levelling and washers are required but if u look closely to most new cars now they will have auto levelling but the headlight washers are actually blocked off or dont exists. Lol and this is in Auatralian cars.

Even the JDM ODC with the oem HID dont have the washers.. Lol

BUT european cars the headlight washers are existent. Weird.

About the number plates SMD.
When looked closer, they are bright, but because it was taken from a cam phone, number plate covers/protectors, and the angle i took the pic from did not help with the coverage of the light rays lol..

These are 15 SMD at 360deg coverage, but in the pic it looks crap hahaha..

But if u look at the floor, its bright as daylight lol..

Ill remove the covers and take better angle and use better cam too next time..

Dunno mayb its just me heheeh :p

wow... been a while since i logged on...been busy with work ...

question.

will the wheel spec below fit the 05 ODC?

Front: 18x9 +32
Rear: 18x10 +37

obviously ill need adj camber arms.. and guards roll... but my main concern is how much will it stick out or will it sit flushed?

ill be using staggered tyres... what is recommended with this setup?

have searched in OH but they are all referring to 19/20inch rims with higher ET.

based on stock rim 6.5" wide with offset +55mm

front: inner clearance 9mm less (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing) and outer position extend an extra 55mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)
rear: inner clearance 26mm less and outer position extend an extra 62mm

good luck and have fun with camber plus guards rolling

[Rage King]

ive just trialled fitted them and bcoz the odc is not lowered yet.. looks like the outter rim is 1-1.5inch outter from the guards....

the fronts are ok... but the rear is just a tad too wide... dayeemmmmm

[mr180sx]

i had 19x9.5 +35 offset on the rear and was fine. mite need some stretching on the tyres. maybe run 235/45 or 235/50

Dont mean to be a hater but how in the world do you come up with that? Im running 20x10 +35 on 225/35/20 and it looks like this with camber arms and lowered

Im just saying that 19x9.5 +35 to fit just "fine" is impossible. My last set was 20x 9.0 +38 at the rear and i still had to do work on the body and adjust rear cambers etc..

With the right camber adjustment + lowering and guard rolling you will be able to have clearance with no issues at all. Mine is about 5mm from touching the guards

true that but rears arent sitting dead flat straight right?

would have crazy camber?

surprisingly its almost flat, not much crazy camber at all

What was your setup size again??

Size?
ET?
How low if your ride?

Im stuck trying to figure put the best ET and width without going overboard..

So im looking around 19x8 or 8.5 all round..

What would be the ideal ET ?? Not worried bout guard rolling or flaring.. But i would like a nice dish look...

Thanks

Those wheels look big too 20s?

I like the luggage space on the racks.. Makes the ODC lookin like a space craft.. :)

Trust me.. they're not too big at all (and not bcos i want to sell them) i would still recommend 20 for this car any day as its the best fit in my opinion :) the sizing i have is not aggressive at all and was ordered for daily driving with full load :) prams, car seats etc.. etc..

[Rage King]

***UPDATE***

Installation of the HKS Coilovers had to be delayed due to the lack of local service parts for it..

2 x Dust boot covers
8 x locking screws
4 x top hat bushings

all the above parts had to be ordered from HKS JApan as HKS Aust did not have them instock :(

all good ...gives me plenty of time to clean the interior and fit them floor mats in :)

was right beside yours in an Elgrand. knew it's you as having Mugen chrome grille

[Rage King]

oh dat was u...dat was a nice elgrand ... was gunna get dat instead of the odc ... but mrs didnt like it :(

yeh dat chrome grill ....still got other bolt on cosmetics that i need to fit on ...just havent had the chance...

also managed to buy the JDM K24 from the absolute ...complete with ecu, 4wd gbox and complete 4wd conversion ...

trying to find a cheap freight company to deliver it . :(

[Rage King]

****PARTS UPDATE****

Found these after market tailights and just waiting for this cosmetics to arrive.

[EKVTIR-T]

haha.. yeah bro. im going to trial it out and just be different ...so many odc around my area that all looks too plain :(

I hope you know what are doing mate, I am no expert, but there are differences that I do know off. The transmission tunnel for the RB2 Absolute is wider than our model to accomodate the larger exhaust piping and the 4wd gear. Also the exhaust system on the RB2 has a different layout. Not sure how you are going to fit all that in, I suggest ditching the 4wd system.

Other things to note:
Absolute Air box and the intake pipes are larger on the Absolute, you will need that.
Absolute Exhaust system is larger (headers and cat back), you might want to get that as well.
The ECU loom is different to handle the difference between drive by wire and drive by cable

[AusAccord]

....The ECU loom is different to handle the difference between drive by wire and drive by cable

thought by wire or cable referring to the same? btw, isn't Absolute electronic throttle instead of our cable?

[evolution]

Lol.. shows you how much I know.. you are correct AusAccord, that's what I meant. :p

[Rage King]

thanks Evo ..

yes i have thought about all that,

not too worried by wiring loom as i can do all these (swap them around or make a DIY harness)
as for the intake, exhaust everything will be custom made - still trying to maintain a legal look but a better feel.

with regards to the 4WD system, i am still under research on what other gbox may fit/can be adapted to this engine. I.e. CRV, Accord Euro R etc.

if all doesnt work out - i might ditch the absolute motor and might just use a accord euro k24 (leaving it fwd) swap incl. wiring loom - so i can utilize a hondata. and change to a 50deg VTC or do a frank swap to K20/24.

lucky i havent made any payments as yet, still doing alot of research and i believe some ODC owners from malaysia/sgp has done the absolute conversions...

taking it nice and slow.

but for now im trying to still source out the best wheel offset fitment for a F = 18x8 ET?? | R = 18x9 ET?? (i want a nice dish staggered look but no stupid aggressive R cambers) LOL.

[AusAccord]

thanks Evo ..

yeh i figured.. just depends on how wide i choose to go with ... i should be able to fix the camber abit with the cusco adj rear camber kit that i havent installed yet..

already starting to get bored of the odc, might trade it in for a range rover evouge sports or an audi Q7 ...i feel like 4wdriving :P
