its very clean, its very fast, and its very fun! if anyone sees me around sydney, please do come over and say hi. you'll know the car as soon as you see it!

still waiting on the HID's, and the cluster pics will be up soon. stressing out about ambers. why do jdm cars come with those extra bits, that are just so much more thought out? the clear lights dont do it for me.

My friction point is high, it has it's advantages but at times a low point would be good.
About the Amber's I'm not 100% on the whole JDM thing, Most EG6's that I see on auction websites etc have the clear corners.

thats true, im not huge on the jdm image, but i think the colour would just offset the blue well. we'll see on that though, still up in the air.

anywho, the long awaited itr cluster pics. as you can see, placement is not even close to good, so a carbonfiber surrounding might be in the works, and in my opinion that would look even better than a perfect fit

next are the hid's

do you guys know of any set of white rims, similar to the type r style, but with 4 stud? has to be 15"..

after looking at those pics, it struck me how unwell it fits. but seriously from the drivers angle, you cant see it, it is held in perfectly.

anyway, carbon fibre will be the go i think, or should i just leave it. it doesnt bother me, but i know it just doesnt look right

oh and i think this is what im after:

or at least similar to that type r style. once i choose it, the ek4 rims are rolling out the door.

anyone interested in 3 ek4 rims for now, let me know. sydney

Welcome to Ozhonda Gabriel :wave:

Enjoy your stay here, As per your picture I see you're in Sydney.

You should come to one of our Monthly Meets and mix and mingle with everyone :)

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110629

btw, Have you taken her (My car is a female, is yours male?) to the strip yet?

Or is this just a fun daily?

Must say its very nice, would love to see it in-person sometime soon :)

as soon as you decide on a date and time for the monthly meet, i'll see if i can find my way there! :P

so far, shes a girl. shes petite, but has the power when she needs to. im wanting to take it to the track once i get a little more experience with the handling and suspension, after all it was built for track use. the suspension is hard, and the sway bars and struts keep her in line while cornering

still havent had the time to give everything a good wash, waiting for the rain to stop so i can start scrubbing!

you'll see her as soon as shes ready, washed, and out of the shower ahahah

Ah yes plenty of gaps, something for me to consider.
The amber corners are like everything else, you get what you pay for. The cheap ones look cheap and tend to fade easier and when you look at the more expensive ones and although they feel more solid and are less likely to fade they are overpriced.

If you were to get those Lenso's I'd suggest colour coding the centre caps.
There is so many different rims out there that you'll find plenty to suit what you want.

Rodney, do you still own the ambers? If so, sell them to me!

If not ... i'll let the idea go for now, until i decide otherwise.

PS had a look at your car pics, yours looks sweet, turns out mine was red as well before the blue respray!

ok now, next issue on hand. the car was previously stripped for track use, so it is light as a feather. as a result, on the street, the interior of the cabin sounds like an earthquake..

i am struggling to adapt this track racing wonder to be compatible with the mean streets of sydney!

i have found out the sources of the rattles.

the doors
the back seats

ive spent all day searching on line for how to fill the door cavity with some sort of filling, it rattles and feels so hollow when i drive that it would be perfect on a track, but not the streets.

can i just buy big squares of foam from jaycar and try to pack it in, or do i need to buy these sound deadening strips that stick to the panel? the latter seems like much more effort...

OR can i but self expanding foam, and spray until theres nothing left in the can? experiences anyone?

for the seats in the back - i have examined and found that they look something like below:

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...k/untitled.jpg

hows that for a drawing! ok, imagine you're sitting in the front, and you turn to face the back seats.

in the middle seat, there is one bolt, shown as the 'o'

BUT

the bottom of the seats are held in place but a U shaped piece of metal, that simply sits into a hole on the body underneath - ie. it is not secured down, just sitting inside a cavity

so, when there are bumps, which in this case (due to the track suspension) = any surface of the road, the bottom of the seat lifts up, only a centimetre i guess, but enough to hear it bouncing around. the metal hooks scraping against the metal body were squeaking like crazy, so i wrapped it in duct tape to eliminate the sound, and allow only the slightest cushion to lessen the jumping.

but i need this fixed, its annoying to drive with. any ideas of how to bolt the back seats down? im not interested in removing them for the track, im not THAT obsessed with weight loss. ask my girlfriend, she'll tell you.

experienced car peeps, help meeeeeeeeeeee!

I bought mine from Modproject. I'm keeping mine so I can swap whenever I feel like it, sorry.
Thanks, mine still needs lots of work.

I'm not sure about the doors, has anything been removed from them to make them rattle? The doors are pretty light and I don't think they have any sound deadening from factory.

For the rear seats if the tape is working you could just leave it at that, no one sees it. But I can understand wanting something a bit better. Mine is loose, but not loose enough to bounce around.

Nice car! seen it on carsales for a while! Good buy :)

I installed the Kaixen HID's i bought of this forums trader, and it worked fine for a day. now the lo beam on the hi/lo drivers side will not ignite.

i have checked the wiring, changed ballasts, and am just about to change the bulbs later as the final check

but. is it possible i need to get a battery harness relay, from the ballast direct to the battery, instead of running it through the OEM harness, which runs through the system electrics??
