the legend wheels come close too, what do u guys think http://www.ronjonwheels.com/ronjonim...arge/tsx83.jpg
*edit* i am really loving the legend wheels, especially the raven black machined
5x114.3
19"
8.0"
+32 or +48
64.1
black machine
what size dimensions offset would fit the cu2?
Why not get the rota GTLM..copy of the BBS LM.
they are OEM honda... accord!!! LOL yeah the rear ones dont even fit, the reason why i bought those is becuase they have the chrome, and im a melancholy so i cudnt have chrome black black chrome, lol ( i may have contradicted myself there)Quote:

god i need to do more research about rim dimensions lol
its a shame, the ROnjon guy emailed me saying that hes not even gunna sell me them because he advises that its not finanicially worth it to ship (i interpreted that as, "My wheels are not of the value or quality to throw that much money into them" lol) he said it would be cheaper to get a importer to share a shipping container and import for me
sounds like a lot of trouble
but yeh, It looks like its down to those rotas or more searching. Anyone here with strong opinions against the quality of rotas? I mean its all forged and stuff right...
try 20 x 9.5 +35 will sit flush with the guards. seen it done
you will need to roll guards and add more negative camberQuote:

have a takeda sri intake in mine with the fujitsubo legalis r exhaust.
the sri drowns the sound of the exhaust but adds a nice raw deep tone for daily driving.

But looking at all the other wheels options you have posted, it may only cost ~400 for postage if they put their acts together...
i would have been happy to pay that extra 400 for the Ronjon Legends too...you will probably be the one or only ronjon shod Euro in Oz... shame..

Nice find on the cabin air filters! So tempted to stock up for 10 years! ~$11 a filter so tempting.
Was going to try a cheaper non OEM brand from the states (which I've been using for my Jazz with fine results (~$8 a filter) but now undecided.
The no name CAI pipe you might as well DIY (think there's some guide in the DIY section of the forum)! Gains are minimal - more for look factor IMO
Just remove the stock resonator for sound if that's what you're after (I've done it for the previous Accord Euro and there is certainly more roar when you step on the pedal!)
Can't wait to see the new wheels natnat!
lol was gonna do that too... :)Quote:

"Hi there,
It's for CU2 TSX. It's the replica of Injen cold air intake. You can convert this into shortram intake.
Thanks and Regards,

replica?
for the price its tempting... how hard is it to install a Cai?
the vr g2s come in 20inch!!!!
how much are tey?
alternativly...rota boost...the poor mans vr g2
man if i buy rotas + that CAI, im guna have a complete replica euro lol
yo furythree
I dont mind getting a unit or 2 of those cabin filters too
Let me know whats the plan. If you order it , i will split it with ya

what do you guys think? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5267/...63b0b704_b.jpg
I like those vertinis Mr Late, but at $330 a wheel. Might as well get those TSW nurburgrings i linked to for $1.4k
I might buy those filters exodus, ill pm you when i get them for my next service next month.
also ive been seriously considering getting the replica injens, a friend of mine said that for CAI/SRI theres no difference between brands, maybe just the pod, but mostly as long as you have a good setup and the pipe is metal and not rubber like OEM, then its good.
Is this true? should i go for it? :P
I dont like it. Looks like wheels that you put on a commodoreQuote:

but, if you like to drive spiritedly or plan to track your car, then the risk of failure is higher for imitation than good quality wheels.
but if you drive like a regular camry driver, then you'd be fine.
btw, i had 2 sets TSW wheels in the past and buckled both sets, made it South Africa. hit pothole at 60km/h in the first set back in 1997, and hit the intersection round metal bit on the road at 20km/h.
For me, I just don't like the theory of having a good $35k++ (when new) Japanese car but put some replica/Chinese wheels on it.
Its kinda saying that "I've spend all of my money on the car, so I cant afford an original wheels"
some are happy to spend $800 on 'style' type wheels and $1200 on premium tyres.Quote:

im actually more interested in installing a short ram intake. ive been googling all day about it. i still havent found a definitive answer about 4 things:
1) does the resonator actually do anything important - if i remove it, does it improve airflow and let in more pollution?
2) SRI has issues of heat when idle, and is also illegal to have them uncovered (god knows why), so easier to install but have to make a cover for it. furthermore the internets say that when idle and not moving, its sucking in hot air, but people say once u start moving thats not an issue. dont want CAI because i dont want to worry about rain getting in
3) is it a bad idea to remove resonator AND install a SRI? is the air still able to flow efficiently from the front into the airbox? otherwise might as well install a cai
4) do intakes have to be branded? this is the most important question, cause even the noob forums has ppl reccommending getting and el cheapo pipe and fitting an apexi or knN pod. so if theres no issues with that, that means theres no issues in buying a replica intake right
Resonator is to eliminate the unwanted noise (for comfort).Quote:

I would just go with Injen, trusted brand and exact fit no issues. It'd be AUD$375 shipped from ebay here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INJEN...Q5fAccessories
Or just buy from JDM Yard for $450 with local warranty.

just a heads up for anyone thinking of changing brake fluid on their CU2. Be sure to use dot 5 or top shelf brake fluid. I used dot 4 shell fluid and it was rubbish. All this time I thought the stock pads were crap. Not at all, they lasted a whole day of tracking without fading. The fading before was caused by brake fluid that couldn't withstand the heat.
You shouldn't be using anything but Honda fluid to begin with............Quote:
