thats nice painted grill :) glossy black yeh
same colour as the body.... NHB + Pearl
looks good, do you have any pic of the whole front part of the car? wonder how it look as a whole.
mate you wouldn't happen to live around Burwood would u? I think i've seen this car at Burwood westfields a few times and get all jealous :P hahaha it looks even better in real life. Wish i had the extra money to get the modulo kit as well.Quote:

Wow, I think you saw another modulo then. Glad to see more and more euro coming out these days. Modulo is great to me personally, the even more muscular look.
Hope to get the car lower, still hesitating. :)
how much did you pay for the modulo kit ?
yup, here's the pic: http://ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.ph...5&postcount=74Quote:

looks clean denot, good job... i wonder how it would look like if it was painted for mine with volcanic grey...
@mikhaelnen: Thanks mate, no... it wont attract more attention than your sports grille though (especially at night)
@nxn75u: Thanks, Volcano grey? hmmm if you have white + black grille that will be awesome, not sure about VG...
Funny story, yesterday I went to a dealer to claim warranty (the oil leaked and reporting pinging issue) and when they park the car just outside, a guy who looking to buy CU2 ask the salesman "Is MY10 comes with colour coded grille? That looks awesome" :p LOL!!!!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:Quote:

Correct because Dedy installed it for me.Quote:

Well i was surprised when reading the instructions that the original grill had to be modified.Quote:

Eibach springs are good and i'm happy with it but then i had to find out how much the Tein coilovers costs and i was surprised as the price was really good.
Might be getting the Tein coilovers...lol
Yeah for sure...maybe sometime next week.
^^^ LOL, how much is the Tein coilover cost? And let me know if you're selling the Eibach later :p
Nice where do you think is the cheapest source for them?Quote:

I have sent emails to other companies and just waiting for some prices.
Yeah, there isn't really much other choice to choose from buddyQuote:

I found Heeltoe cheaper but it wasn't that much of a difference.
Ride's good, have it on stock settings at the moment as i've mentioned a few pages earlierQuote:

it took something like 1.5 weeks to deliver :) not much of a wait at all
Nice and thanks for the feedback.Quote:

good choice of wheels mate! and like i sed, if you dont want your eibach no more... let me know pls ;)Quote:

Those are hot, and i think the Mugen ones for the CU2 are pretty nice as well!
Anyone think 20" on CU2 can look okay without being too ricey? :cool:
Yeah i will mate.Quote:

20 shouldn't be too ricey providing you drop it properly, any bigger gap it'll just look plain stupid, and obviously decent choice of wheel as well.
i think for 20s you'd need something with a bit of dish to look good... but that's just my 2c
Yeah i agree with that. 19" suits the CL9 and the CU2 has pumped wheel arches so i think it needs 20" to get the same look as 19"s on the CL9.
And something with dish, and wide, would look awesome. 9" wide? Hot!
Tien SS Coilovers $1140
Tien Basic Coilvers $855
Which ones do you guys recommend just for someone who is looking to lower their CU2? No tracking or anything, just a decent ride quality while looking a bit low (1.5" lower).
Not sure if it is much trouble to adjust the damper and if i would need to at all so not sure if its worth the extra AU$400 or so on top of the basic ones.
Hmm!!
I would strongly recommend H&R springs. i use my CU2 for everyday use, including business trips. Drop is perfect, about 35mm front and 30mm back. Will post pics in the next day or two, and you can decide.
Awesome pics would be super duper :thumbsup:.Quote:

Where did you get your springs from if you don't mind me asking?
I was expecting a harsher ride with the new springs, but honestly, I cannot tell the difference. The ride is still luxurious, and bumps are not felt easily - still very comfortable. I am based in South Africa, so we imported them directly from H&R. I paid an equivalent of USD360 for them, including fitment. No regrets what so ever!
Ahh thats awesome to hear! Might check out the H&R springs more then, 1/4 the price of coilovers and since there will be absolutely no tracking, i dont think it would make a difference for me, except to the wallet haha.
Still can't wait to see the pics mate :D
Its 8.30pm here, I will arrange that the case be washed tomorrow, and will definately post pics. Theres times, when I just open my garage gate, to stare at my Accord. That drop, with the 19z are so sweet. Cant stop staring! :)
Hey, same time as Germany! Its 9:07pm here atm too :D
Yeah man your car is gorgeous, i love the rims, they look great on it! Also, looove the colour!! Volcano Grey/Grigio Gray ftw haha!
Thanks buddy. Are you watching the cricket? NZ vs Pakistan?
nah i'm watching a really boring movie, which would explain why i'm still on ozhonda, but not checking it very often.Quote:

Ok, ive uploaded pics on the thread MY CU2 (So far..)
mate, i got a set of eibach pro-kits on and they are awesome! i use them everyday, take the family around aswell and no scrubbing issues! looks sweet and feels stock best buy! drop is 1'4'', 1'6''Quote:

Hey guys remember the nengun site i mentioned a few months back
i just checked their site again. but i noticed that the mugen parts they listed ARE SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER. it could be just my imagination but
check for urselves
http://www.nengun.com/mugen/aerodynamics-accord-cu2
AU $ 1,814.41 for 3 piece set of lip spoiler, skirts and rear under spoiler.
i noe shipping is gunna slap you in the face, but it will only be a few hundred dollars ontop. still cheaper than $1,230 for the lip alone at jdmyard. its only AU $ 596.17 for the lip at nengun
i was already saving up for the body kit, but now i dont have to try so hard. the front bumper is AU $ 1,671.85 which replaces the grill as well and u gotta buy the skirts and rear bumper seperately which cost another thousand. but i personally prefer the lip.
good find or what
^ nengun's prices work with the exchange rate. the the dollar goes well the prices get cheaper.
i bought my kit from nengun and i'm telling you now i'll won't be doing it again.
all i can say is read their t&c's in regards to delivery etc.
when the experience i went through, it would've been been off going with one of the traders.
Haha wow that was a while ago that i made that post, basically what i mean was wheel with dish / low disk to it. A guy from the acurazine forum in the US did a massive Staggered fit on his CU2, looks nice. 9.5 inch at the back, didn't think they'd fit lolQuote:

thank you for your kind words :)
so the prices move with exchange rate but it kinda halved in price! the exchange rate hasn't doubled so the price has gone down a bit that wasnt related to exchange rate.
could you get in more detail about the problems with shipping? i was seriously considering it. if it was just issues with delay i dont have a problem waiting 1 2 or 3 months lol. if it gets to me in 24hrs it will probably be sitting in my garage for months before i have time to actually install them. if it was over pricing, unless shipping price = item price then its still cheaper than the traders here. they all just buy it from mugen japan and import it here anyway
I emailed Nengun Sep this year for below parts and this is what the shipping cost is.
Way too expensive.
To ship:
71110-XLLXK0S0-PO - Front Under Spoiler will be 68000yen to be picked up from Sydney Airport.
84111-XLL-K0S0-ZZ - Rear Under Spoiler will be 50000yen also picked up from Sydney Airport.
then custom broker fees, and the company that is looking after shipping you have to pay terminal fees. about another 200 or so on top
LOL ok fair enough. thanks for letting me know. i understand what you mean now. i thought it was just slow shipping, but if i have to pay customs and go to airport thats bs. the dealer should take care of that. but at least it goes to show how ridiculously overpriced the traders here are.
^ to be honest its not too bad. jdm concept quoted me 2.1k landed to my door. blinded by the hidden fees from nengun, i decided to go with nengun. but at the end of the day, it was only around 100 or so cheaper but i had to go get it from the bloody airport
Someone drag their CU2, PLEEEEAAAAAASE!
ok realllly noob question, how do i replace parkers lol. I just popped the hood and have no idea how to access the bulbs. same with the number plate lights. CU2
car manual yo!
not sure about cu2. but cl9 and accords you can change the parkers through the wall lining of the front wheels. the number plates there should be clips, fiddle around with it and it should pop out. might have to pop out a few of the lining.
fair enough. i dont want to deal with airport and custom fees and stuff, so i wont be buying from nengun then.Quote:

Step 1) Refer to owners manual, its got diagrams and a step by step process on pg. 406 & 410
Step 2) Open hood. To change the right side parker remove the coolant reserve tank by pulling up on it with moderate force (do so in order to gain access to back of lights)
Step 3) remove the socket from the headlight assembly by turning it anticlockwise.
Step 4) pull the bulb straight out and replace it (make sure its in tightly, i lost a bulb into the engine bay because it wasn't in properly!)
Step 5) re-insert the socket (inc. bulb) back into the headlight assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
Step 6) test (turn on parkers)
Step 7) Replace coolant tank
Step 8) to change the left side parker, remove the two fasteners holding the upper part of the air intake duct and then pull it out.
repeat steps 3-6
Step 9) replace upper part of intake duct and replace fasteners.
Step 10) close bonnet, done!
It sounds difficult, but seriously it is ridiculously simple, anyone can do it.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask

wow! thanks for that reply! so indepth!. nd yes it looks much better. outta curiosity is it legal to have blue parkers? wat about blue number plate lights? i bought white and blue, if i cant use blue parkers then i will use then for number plate lights. actually i dont noe how to change those either
blue is illegal
I have a "super white" parkers with a tint of blue on them, its not a strong blue though so i think it's ok, same with the number plate lights at the back. The only problem is they're not very strong lights
even for number plates?Quote:
