[CU2] OMG Finally Got One! With Pics.

Congratulations Mike and you will have many kilometers of pleasureable driving.
Thats a fine machine you've got.

Your mileage will settle down after a while, I've done 24k now and get 9.5L on avg per tank.
The tank capacity has been debated here long and hard, consensus is, believe how much you see go into the tank and how many K's you drive, before you fill it again. The trip meter isnt exact either. Its meant to be indicative only, I believe.

If you like to monitor long term mileage, you can set Trip A to re-set itself each time you fill up, while trip B will continue to record mileage and average you all of your cars fuel consumption.

And yes definitely microfibre everything, 2 buckets and lambswool mitt(s), with top quality product.

Stay on here and let us know what your experience is.

cheers,
Des

Careful coz the default setting is sometimes set to reset trip B at 10,000kms.

congrats Mike.
I have had my pearl white CU2 for nearly 6 months now and I still love staring at the car's beatuful lines and design :)

Uhhhhhh can you pls tell us the secret behind how did you manage to get 900km out of every tank....Hmmmm...Its understandable the driving style is different for a mid 30year old guy and a grandpa age guy driving....You can give us some tips and hints...Don't tell me you finetune in engine....Oh this recall something back in my country.. The local made Hero Honda motorcycle they made for the best fuel consumption, however the local mechanics there put a thin needle in the carburator, in that case they made it even more fuel consumption for the motorcycle....Over there who cares of Warranty...this is just a fact wanted to share...but i wouldn't do such things for the car here......

How did u guess, i made a several modifications to the carburetor, oh and a few other trics that buddah learnt in the trade.
By the way I am Not & Never will be a GRANDPA

Actually the best i have got out of 1 tank is 989.9kms, but could have easily exceeded 1000km if it wasn't so far to the next town. It took 61.63 ltrs to fill to the brim after 989.9km & I had Air con on for about 85% of that trip.

Here are 2 pics I took before I filled up

R u serious buddah you made modifications to the carburetor in your EUro or just joking.......

congrats on the buy, and very good taste. haha, i've had mine for about 3 months now and loving it.
it's only done 1150 KM's haha, still a baby boy.

same colour as yours,
what i'm planning to do first are cosmetic mods since my warranty lasts 6 years and Road Side Assistance and Free Services made by Honda for 2 Years.
In other words, any mods to the engine, bye bye warranty and services.

Plans for Cosmetic Mods:
*Lip Kit from here:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=130399783750

*Then i'll probably go with the lowering, most likely go eibach pro kit springs from local eibach dealer here in melbourne "Suspension City".

*After lowering, i would most likely do some badging work, going to try and be the first on the forum to "JDM the CU2", that is, putting Red Honda Badges on Front and Rear. I asked Leo from JDM Concept if it was possible to get a Red Badge that would fit on this grill:
http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/jdm-image/product998.png
he said there is definately a Red Badge that will fit that grill.

So far that is my plans, alot of money, but time should get me the dosh.

Hope that's given you some Ideas.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON THE PURCHASE/
