This photo is :P :P :P .

Where did the spoiler come from? I can't remember seeing a Euro with a spoiler before. Nice drop, nice rims.

WOW

i'll have mine in black with a turbo please. man, that euro is sweet.

[PERTH_EURO]

Thanks guys.

I am so wrapped in the car since taking delivery!! The swap from toyota to Honda has been a good one.

The bodykit is all OEM as fitted by the dealer.

The rims were a tuff decision but I think the suit the car resonable well. (19's would have been nice but illegal & $$$)

I originally wanted Black too, but they only come with cream and wood interior, so back to the old trusty silver it was.

Very soon will be grade 20 tint, and last on the list is a full show sq stereo setup.
There is massive amounts of room behind the engine for a massive turbo setup, but performance wise she will stay as is.

Stay tuned

Looking good! :thumbsup:

looks nice mate :D just personal opinion, i prefer it without the wing..... would be good if you got adjustables as well so u could dump it even more when need be heheh

[seany_12]

Looks good mate... The ride height to me looks stock (?)... But u have the kings installed eh? I must be out of it... :shock:

:thumbsup:

[PERTH_EURO]

yeh suprisingly it has been lowered 35mm all round. Its not "fulli sik" low, but it is still practical. Gotta remember that there is about 2.5" of ride height from factory.

I would like the front a little lower tho.

When i had ordered the car I actually rang the dealership to ask them not to fit the spoiler, as I had changed my mind, but it had already been fitted.

so farkin jealous.

Hey Perth Euro - nice ride! How are you finding the king springs?

I am still hesitating with lowering my Euro as I suspect Honda Australia will soon release a factory replacement suspension kit (struts and springs) for our Euro. Lowers 25mm. Lets hope it happens.

[PERTH_EURO]

Suspension is fine. I have only done 600km on them so far.
(have had car 5 weeks and done 1200km)

Its not as low as I hoped for at the front, but it is pratical. Kings sees it sit 35mm lower.
What makes you think that Honda will release a spring kit?? Will be interesting to see if they do.

cheers

[seany_12]

even if honda brings out springs it'd come at a premium, and may not be as well adapted to Aussie road conditions... Well the shitty roads we have in Sydney anyway... not sure about places like perth...

i'll post my response in a new thread as it is a diff topic

Hey Perth_Euro,

The wheels look great.

Do the 18" wheels affect the spedo accuracy, being that speed cameras aka revenue raises are very popular here in Adelaide.

I am sure someone can tell me the maths, as a lower profile rubber would offset the larger wheel wouldn't it ?

[PERTH_EURO]

over all rolling diameter has incresed by 5mm or something, so the shop tells me.
This has a minimal impact on the speedo. Tyre shop guy said that about 10mm makes the speedo read 3km/hr less than actual speed being done!!

I did have to go for a narrower tyre than I origally chose, to lower the physical dimensions. (otherwise would have been 10mm over and rubbing issues were likely)

I took his word and havent worked out the maths for myself, as it doesnt bother me

Black is nice

Here's a link where you can calculate your aftermarket tyre size compared to factory tyre size in relation to the speed changes.

It's somewhere in the middle under A tire size calculator section.
