I've decided instead of flooding the cu2 mods thread with my little diy project ive got going on, ill make a thread of my own. =)

So after chatting to a mate of mine from russia i have recently become obssessed with their openess to modding our CU2.

So after viewing defcons threads over at acurazine and browsing through the CU2's in Russia, I decided its time for me to do some DIY! So late this arvi I decided to kick it all off with modding my (perfectly fine and innocent) grill!

Heres a teaser;

I am new to the concept of Honda's and Integra's (type r), however, from what i have read and seen, they seem to be fantastic cars with plenty of power and a perfect car for a 19 year old such as myself.
Im looking to spend around $16,000, getting myself a stock Integra with around about 100,000kms, either dc2 or 5.
1. Im just wondering what sort of Integra; year, km, condition, etc i could get for that amount.
2. What things should i look for specific to Integras that may be wrong with the car, if any.

Thanks heaps ]]> Integra Jebus009 http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138960-Buying-an-Integra-Help http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138951-S2000-on-Specialist-amp-Enthusiast-Vehicle-Scheme-(SEVS)&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:42:23 GMT Hi guys,

I just want to know if anyone knows why the s2000 wouldn't be eligible to be included in the SEVS register?

I ask because I have been looking for a white AP2 for some time. When I did find one about 8 months back it was snapped up in less than an hour after being advertised. I think my only hope may be to import one, if done legally with a RAW, but the car also needs to be included in the SEVS register.

I have looked at the SEVS "Application for Eligibility" form, and one of the first questions is:
"8. Is the vehicle Make currently supplied to the Australian market in the same Vehicle Category in full volume?"

If the answer is "NO" Attach documentary evidence. Vehicles are eligible
subject to verification. Go to question 20.

Here is a link to the application:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roa...VS_Form_08.pdf

Am I right in saying the answer is "NO" or am I reading the question wrong? The s2000 ceased production in 2009 which means it is not "currently supplied to the Australian market in the same Vehicle Category in full volume?"

If this is the case, I am very interested in applying to have the s2000 added to the SEVS register? Does anyone know what documentary evidence is required?

I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone has a quick answer or has been through the process. Alternately I will contact the Department of Infrastructure, Transport.... and ask. ]]> S2000/NSX Kenshin3180 http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138951-S2000-on-Specialist-amp-Enthusiast-Vehicle-Scheme-(SEVS) http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138949-Recommend-heavy-duty-Clutch-For-99-PRELUDE-VTIR-(-SYDNEY-AREA-)&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:26:05 GMT Hey,

Just wondering if anyone else has purchased from K2 Motor in the US. Got my CF Foglights today and as soon as I took them out the box I saw the was resin de-laminating around the light hole :( On both of them! :mad:

Other than the the obvious flaws they are ok and I guess to the quality I expected for the price. Not perfect but mostly intact lol

Wondering if anyones has had experience with K2 Motor and what they thought of there quality or if they had similar issues, Where they helpful?

Have done a search but couldn't find anything specifc to the problem I'm having. So hope someone can shed more light.

Currently got an 01 DC5R that's recently started drifting/pulling to the right even on light acceleration and has lost the handling it used to have. The car was lowered by the previous owner using King Springs & stock suspension. I've had it checked out by a tyre specialist and even after a wheel alignment the car would still pull right. They suggested I take it to Honda to check the gearbox/driveshaft because according to them, the car would stop pulling right when shifted to neutral.

So, took it to Honda but couldn't find anything wrong either and so suggested I take it to Pedders. I took it to Pedders to get a suspension check. The report is as follows:
-Front shocks = pass
-Front springs = fail (bump steering)
-Frong sway bar links = fail (ball joint loose - noise)
-Rear Bump stops = fail (shocks bottom out)
-Rear springs = fail (shocks bottom out)
-Rear shocks = pass
-Engine mounts = fail (requires attention - torque steer)

The guy at Pedders also showed me the steering arm whilst the car was hoisted and on the ground. He said the arm was way "angled" when grounded.
Now I'm newbie when it comes to most things car related so wanted to know what options I have in terms of fixing the steering problem.

1. The report says the front and rear shocks are fine but the springs are gone. Could I just get better springs or will be shocks be nearly gone too?
2. Will buying a new set of coilovers fix my problems (ie: car can still be lowered without steering issues)?
3. Honda checked the car and said the engine mounts were fine (engine mounts were replaced about two years ago). However Pedders gave me a quick demo of the engine flexing quite a bit. Could it be the mounts? Should I go with something other than OEM Honda?

Sorry for such a long post. Any help would be much appreciated. :D ]]> Integra repeatedlove http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?138937-DC5R-steering-problem
