Hey guys, decided to install some parts over the easter weekend. I managed to complete the suspension and rear pods. I've attached some pictures and I have completed a DIY writeup (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87001)

Enjoy ;)

AP2 headlights will make a world of difference up front.

You've made my day :p unfortunately I couldn't justify driving around daily with 4 - 5 grand worth of wheels/tires on my car... So I took the more affordable approach.


damn you have god taste!

Thanks man, everything is coming together well.


AP2 headlights will make a world of difference up front.

I decided not to go with AP2 because I've got a few ideas for my headlight setup that will look pretty sweet. I haven't finished the car yet it's still due to go into the bodyshop and it's taking forever for the exhaust to be finished.

The spokes look like rota D2 spokes. Regardless it looks hot!
Btw, did you have to run negative camber to avoid rubbing, especially after your drop?

Yeah I like the look as well. The rear pods make a huge difference makes the car look fat from the back. Double :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Haven't been on MSN, been busy. I'll get on soon, we should do a spit driveby. If all goes well the car will be finished by May.

Yeah man Rota D2's. I don't mind them a lot better quality than I thought they would be.

Yeap i'm on the South, probably be heading to Pinelands one of these days to check things out again. Pretty big scene.


Btw, did you have to run negative camber to avoid rubbing, especially after your drop?

Camber goes negitative as soon as the car is lowered. I need to adjust it though after the rear guards get rolled. Thinking of -2.5 at the rear and slight camber on the front probably -1


far out im feeling it.. nice work mate!!

Thanks man!

I just want a set of 4 or 6 piston calipers. No need for the rotors.

Trying to behave.... lol. Good luck with that :p

Hahaha speaking of which... I maybe keen on some rotors in a few months... I think mine are still in good condition since I brought my S2k with 20,000 clicks on the clock in December.

Hey man, dont' have too much issues with the front scraping. I will need to modify the wheel arches a bit though. I should get that sorted soon. ;)
