ive heard nesterjester already and it sound nothing like a wrx..
no disrespect, im just saying.

the CU2 is one of the quietest car in its class. it'd take huge efforts and money to make it sound like and go as fast as a stock MY2011 WRX, which now comes with proper quad exhaust (from the sti line).

so best to leave the CU2 mods at candies to the eyes level :)

unless you go this far:

removing the intake resonator will just make dirt / leaves to go into the intake box easier.

i was cleaning my CU2 a while ago and i found a piece of leave inside the air box! and that's with the resonator there.

i think the oem filter is made of dry cotton, so not sure if it's too happy with excess moist and extra dirt.

k&n panel filter is oiled, and so is injen CAI, hence it should technically repel water and moist, while cotton would just absorb it.

but with Injen CAI i preferred to avoid driving my CL9 in heavy rain, that's why I only use k&n panel in my CU2.

guys i kno this is off topic but last week on my street i saw a LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO and i was wondering. " itll be awesome if it was an SuperVeloce" it turned and there was and SV on it,, that moment i had an orgasm in my brain and creamed my pants, tango orange and the number plate was MISSILE. gg

ok MR_LATE, maybe i exaggerated a little, it's not EXACTLY like a wrx, but it has really deep roars on low revs when stepping on the gas. My bad for putting our CU2's in comparison to beast WRX's.

missile is 7 characters

just sayin

some people are rich enough with breaking laws, just not the RTA ones

I'm 90% going to wakefield on the 22nd of April if you are still thinking of tracking your car. Still want to get a lap time closer to my friends stock CL9 1:17.45.........hopefully theres another second in the CU2. But I'm going to get longer lasting brake fluid this time around.

Anyone else want to come along let me know. Would be great to have a load of CU2's down there...........u'll be very suprised how good they handle on the track completely stock.

I made a mistake and bought the unit from www.szutility.com . Its been a month and haven't received my item how long did it take you to receive the item. I think they are dodgy. Please tell me how did you receive the unit

How did you pay for it? If you used your credit card immediately contact your card's provider and get a chargeback!!

I paid via western union so I wont be getting my money back , actually somebody on the forum bought a dvdgps unit from them and he posted pictures as well http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...=1#post2723645. I wanted to ask him how did he receive his unit and when ?

Hey maclovin, if you're interested in purchasing from bodykitskingdom let me know I can probably hook you up with a better price :D I'd be more than happy to organise an order for you if you want :)...I've got photos of the kit on my CU2 if you wanna have a look too. As for body kit painting and fitment -> I think furythree is getting his painted at the moment so might be a good idea to ask him here or PM him ;).

Just an FYI for everyone, bodykitskingdom has finally ordered in the Mugen wing + Mugen Badges for $260 each! I'll probably go take some photos for everyone to have a look as well. So if you're interested PM me and I'll hook you up :D

didnt i say that like 5 pages ago? :p Been hounding paul about it for ages, but decided not to get it in the end lol. been spending too much money lately. Bodykit+paint and install + insurance + rego + just bought a new tablet for $1.2k sighs

but yes PLEASE TAKE SOME FOTOS (preferably "installed" as well?)
and comments on the quality. paul hasnt gotten back to me for a month but the last time he replied he said its "grade a" replica quality. whatever the hell that means.

i think he has the mugen grill as well?

could u also ask him how much it is to paint the wing while ur at it?

and maclovin, im getting my mugen kit installed on sunday, ill let u know how it goes. its $700 but my kitt is half from another supplier and needed to be modified to fit (plus my left scratch pushed the skirt up a bit, reducing the gap between the door, so needed to cut a bit off the top of the kit)
the guy is a contractor, who hires out a spray booth etc etc. has done this stuff before and contracts panel beater work for my mechanic family friend

if u prefer a normal panel beater shop, u can try top one in arncliffe?
id be interested in how much they charge as well

Haha yeah I think I might have saw that...I haven't really been on the forums reading every single post >_> too friggin busy with uni and work zzz.....

For sure man, I texted him and asked when he's got some time for me to drop by :D. I'm not sure how much the painting for the wing to cost, I doubt he'd know too coz he doesn't do it himself. Best to ask the panel beater you went to for your kit :P...I'm guessing $150-250? Coz I think nesterjester got his ducktail wing painted for $100/150. I'm pretty set if I wanted anything painted...kits wise coz my mate has access to a spray booth and said he can probably get Genuine Honda Paint at trades price :D.

As for the Mugen Grill, Paul's getting a couple in next week! Carbon Fiber ones :) Will post photos as soon as I can get them!

fyi: A Grade = I'm assuming is the top replica quality...unless there's "S Grade" too haha

PM'd mate! :D

update: Paul just told me he won't be getting the Mugen Wing for another 6 weeks (next shipment). He's only ordered a couple of the Mugen Wing coz he wants to check the quality of them before he orders more. Just quality control I guess, good for everyone :)

luckily i dont need my car during the week, but the guy said he's gunna take a week to install the bodykit (even tho it shud take 4 days max since adjustments need to be made) oh well thats what u get for hiring a part time contractor. I just hope he doesnt take it for a joyride during the week

the only way to win is to not sell it lol

i would like some pictures of your steering wheel. sounds pretty awesome
and im surprised with all the money the prev owner threw into it, they didnt get the seat upgrade. i heard that the euro has better leather sports seats u can upgrade to

how many KMs on the odometer btw?

and how much was the reversing camera that you ordered (and where from)
Do u plan on getting a inbuilt gps system installed?


for the air filter, ur getting the KN air filter for the CU2 right? if so good choice. i can vouch for that extra zippiness

---

They delivered the wrong model air filter - took a week to get it exchanged! Finally put it in yesterday. Definitely makes a serious difference! So does keeping away from Shell 95 Octane - that stuff is just hopeless!

I've lined up my hardware for a serious electronic makeover:

• Bury CC9060 IQ voice-controlled Bluetooth
• Bury Series 9 Modular Base and Active Phone Cradle for HTC Desire
• JBL MS-8 8-channel Digital Sound Processor / 8-channel Amplifier
• Alpine MRV-F405 4-channel Amplifier
• Schneider SPA 6000x mono block Amplifier
• Hertz HSK 165 splits (new model) for front doors
• Infinity 652i coax speakers for back doors
• Infinity 652i coax speakers for rear parcel shelf
• Infinity 452i coax speaker for centre front shelf
• Phase Linear HD-12 sub-woofer for boot
• SSL 3.5 Farad stiffening capacitor

Now it's just a matter of getting Juerg of Auto Acoustics to put it all together, with some Dynamat, cables, woodwork, sweat and ingenuity.

Piece of cake!

hello

So today was a test fitment and the front lip obviously doesnt fit well around the foglight area. i trimmed around it and it looks good to me.

i got my s techs today and will be installing them tomorrow along with my LS460 tips.

i will be sanding down the lip tomorrow and paint matching it. also probably do a debadging while im at it

ill be putting 3M tape to get rid of the gaps and i still have to use a heat gun on the front lip since it warped on me when it was sitting in the garage.

Sooooo farken happy today!
More pics tommorrow, my iphone overheated and died and corrupted most of my photos today after i took them :(. probably couldnt handle its awesomeness

but its now SOOOOO LOWWWW. i actually couldn't get out of the driveway! scraped the left underside already (like graze completely invisible cause its on the underside)

but yeh, teins + kit = lowwwwww

i ended up having to REVERSE out of the driveway (i have a VERY LONG CURVED driveway, so this is harder than it sounds)

Also, the side skirts cover up my Massive dent and graze completely! so no need for $800 panel beater fix just a $700 bodykit install :P

Now i want a new grill now and painted calipers!

bad news tho was that i had to go out in the arvo and didnt drive my euro cause i was supposed to let the polyeurothane set. so i drove my mum's lexus...then reversed into a pillar sideways (reversing out of a carpark) and totally smashed her door ><. i cringed so hard, ruined the rest of my day.

so finally did up my car and fixed my graze...but totally ruined my mums and grazed hers....all on the same day

oh well ><

I took better pics of the kit. theres a few particular angles that make it look so good and agressive. i had too much glare today,so u cant really see it that well. shame my fone died.

I am however, a bit worried about when i have to go on driveways, that nose is gunna scrape for sure. perhaps bigger wheels? may lift up the car a bit? but at the same time, if i took it to a shop to get rims fitted...dunno how they are gunna jack up the car on those big lift things....because the side skirts hang low under past the undercarriage i think...so those lifts that holdthe car by the bottom through the sides may ruin the skirts :S

overall, very satisfied with the job

WHOA MUGEN!!! That's awesome. Very nice pics.

Btw I got paint from Autobarn, caliper paint gold and clear. And if u open the trims to your door and connect to power source the courtesy light in the doors. It shud work. I didn't install myself but that's what he told me. And I'm in Brisbane

Loving the kit. U gonna change the grill?

Sick ride Fury, the mugen kit is clean as hell. Cant remember if you have the tein spring or the SS, but if its the SS, try raising it up 10mm or so. It will still look nice but a bit more practical. Where did you get that red honda sticker btw?

drop looks soo much better eH?

heres what i did today.
spray can painted my kit, m3 spoiler, mud guards
ls460 tips installed
tein s techs installed
debadged

next mods
install roof spoiler
35% tint
blue mirror tint
plasti dip rear chrome trim

lol yeh. its awesome. i didnt realise how well it would turn out until now



i think my next investment will definitely be rims. i need 19 or 20s cause it would serve to fill the wheel arches better but at the same time lift the car up a bit to reduce scrape issues. plus look badass of course

anyone know of good places to start?

AWESOME!!! Does the mugen kit fit perfectly?

Fury!!! WELL DONE mate!...they turn out way beyond what i thought they will look! SEXAY! ...does the front lip extend further lower compared to stock bumper?

Awww furythree mate!!! Looks friggin awesome! Now you need the Mugen Spoiler ;) and possibly Mugen Grill hehe. Well done :). Btw the side skirt you got is the one you got from China right? Coz it's different to the one Paul has.

As for the rims, how much you willing on spending is the question ;) (on just the rims itself, no rubber) haha

On other news...I should be getting my new bumper this week...will keep ya all posted :D

maybe turn ur wheels a lil more?>



EDIT: omg pics wont show up,,

Nice one Furry! Looks great! And I agree sporty 19" will make it looks better...

also, It looks even better without the transformers decal! :p jokez mate... hehehe

Btw, who's the R for? Your second car?

Thanks for the replies guys! :D and yes denot, it looks better without transformers lol
was going to remove the rear mugen power as well (maybe just leave the kanji) during my next wash, but the contractor got overenthusiastic and washed my car for me and buffed it all up. its sooo smooth right now

the subaru is for my uncle (its his retirement car! lol) he is trading "down" his peugot (he intended that as the "one classy european car i drive before i die", since he didnt want to buy an overpriced fuel guzzling, high maintenance bmw) for a "fuel efficient, safe handling grocery hatch"
but we found out that the subaru sedan costs the same as the hatch (after haggling for 3 hours to get the "last special edition R hatch in australia" and ending up with special edition 2 with sunroof but 3 month wait.
When the guy gaves us a sedan to test drive...my car nut brain ticked into action and thought...hey that body kit looks awesome, if my uncle got the sedan i could buy it off him 5 years down the track and rice it up, so i asked the dealer and he was like "oh why didnt u say so earlier, i have plenty of sedans in stock at the same price" LOL
anyway the subaru is freakin awesome, i have never experienced handling like that before in my life. Defo buying the car off my uncle.

when i test fitted. it actually didnt (i have test fit pics on imageshack account) but that cud be because i didnt have teins yet.
but when i stick my hand under the front. i can feel that it hangs a bit lower than stock...so SOOOO scared of scraping.
actually for some reason, the front right of the car (when looking at it) has a crease on the bottom underside (u cant see it in pics cause its dark down there) it looks warped. but doesnt look bad cause just makes the car look lower lol
but to answer your question. i had trouble clearing my driveway with stock body + teins. but now i cannot clear my driveway at all with lip Lol

btw yungquan, where did u get your rims, how much did they cost and whats the model/specs?
thnx

lool dont tempt me man! when i was taking the pics i was like, if i had a mugen wing right now... *drool*
as for grill i wanna get it as badly as the wing, but ive been itching to do that custom grill. im just scared of taking apart the front myself and i might as well paint calipers too. was planning easter break but gf wants roadtrip zzzz -_-

and yes its the china one i bought. i had issues with fitament but i stuck with it anyway (trimmed the top edge and it fit fine) i like it better than Paul's because paul's is missing an upflap at one end.

the thing with the skirts is that. i dunno how to jack the car up now lol

funny theyre my favs too lol. its my wallpaper now
i took a better one on the first day (but my mum was in the pic inspecting my car lol) but the lighting was awesome so made the sideskirts show up really well and made it look so low and wide. so i took those 3 to see if i cud get the same effect
ended up being different but very good neverthe less

so gunna bring out the SLR this weekend! :D



Anyway. in regards to rims. Looking for 19-20s but as ive never bought wheels before in my life. i dont know what a realistic price range is. Im very happy to buy second hand, but dont know what good brands are for hondas
budget is 1-1.4k thats stretching it (coming out of mugen wing budget lol)
1.4k easily if i can resell my OEM rims

Mugen wing if i can sell OEM modulo wing.

I've driven the new STis an they are a beast of a car, haven't seen or driven the Special Edition R though...don't know which one I like better though, EVO 10 or STi...I think STi handles a little better where the EVO 10s are a bit quicker...but not sure hey...Oh and can't forget the Golf R...that little thing is an absolute beast! Took one for a test drive when I went to get my car serviced hehe...

Anyways...the custom grill is quite nice but looks way too time consuming my for schedule at the moment. I might just get mine sprayed black and possibly stick a red Honda badge on it (I've seen someone do this and it looks epic good on white).

Yeah that's what I noticed too with the side skirt, the 2nd upflap part is a more accurate representation of the real Mugen skirt, was pretty disappointed Paul's one didn't have it on both ends =(.

I'm waiting for stock of the ROTA DPTs at the moment, about 1.5mths to go. About 1.1k for a brand new set plus tyres (prob another 1k on top). The size I'm looking at is 18x8.5, +44 5x114.3.

http://jasonborowiec.com/specb/rota/...8-73hcb%29.jpg

They're Volks CE28N Replicas.

p.s. still haven't got my damn rear bar yet! It's been over a week...sigh...

Wow they look good.
Did you need to roll the guards ? + 44 should b good offset.

Stock is +55?

will look nicer if the CU2 is lowered with these more aggressive wheel width and offset :)

else it'll look like an X5 with 20".

Hi guys! Since tony (kwangstuh) brought up the topic of wheels. Jusf wondering if you guys can tell me if these wheels will fit my car. And what size tyres i need to buy to fit them.

Heres the link of the wheels that i want:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au:80/ws/eBayISA...toredirect=off

They supply these at a local wheels shop called 'the tyre factory' down here in melb but ive been told i can save alot of money by buying these online cos of the strong aussie dollar.

Thanks guys!
Simon.

EDIT:

Here are the wheel specs for those who are too lazy to open the link:
They are 18x8 with an offset of +48.

hey, good choice Simon, I once was looking at the same Enkei wheels too. I think the +48 offset and 8w width will be fine, but we need a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 (or 5x114). the one listed is 5x100
