moar lows + spoiler removal plz! make sure you get a rear camber kit otherwise ur rear fitment will look fail spec after lowering (and ur tyres will get worn out unevenly)!
could have gone with more aggressive specs but i guess some people value function more :) glad you chose these volks over some tempe-spec rims!
keep up the good work
So frickin expensive though.Quote:

Yup that's me purely going for function atm...
Sorry bud, I refuse to rocking it in replica stuff... only genuine stuff in my car :PQuote:

Might excuse myself if I spend $800 to make it into a better moulding and good respray...
lulz. When you lower it you'll get MORE negative camber. You'll need a camber kit to correct that in order to make it more "functional".

To expand when i lowered mine i had -4.8 lol

Nah I need some neg camber in the fromt so it doesnt pop out!!
Wait... What? How low are you dropping that thing??Quote:

They can also defect you for your seats snd thats a major defect. Id prefer a minor with my wheels popping out
the chance of them defecting my seats are like.. 1%....
Just depends on the cop exactly like wheels all luck of the draw. Its not like we drive hoon machines
You going for j's cl7 spec??
http://www.performancepartnersintl.c.../accordCL7.jpg
Yeah sort of but not completely cause my header won't be jdm for now as I had to modify subframe for it.
More JDM build :)
I love that car.
marquee wanna come cruising this sunday?
I got shitty xmas shopping lol
fml wasnt allowed to take the Js racing bumper on the plane...

Was considering Marque's coilovers but I'm looking for JDM ones.
Mine have gone to new home.
So finally had the time to dig some photos from my phone :)

And that's it for now...
Coilovers should be next...
that bumper is AMAZING
btw I installed the exhaust today :) took me 4 hours LOLOLOL
Probably should be bragging about that lol. How does it sound
man.. you gotta take a vidoe of those exhaust. we want to hear it
That is a sexy bumper...
Whoever said the J's Racing was louder then the Skunk 2 you are very very wrong LOL.Quote:

Will do :) I shall try to make one asap since I just bought a new DSLR.Quote:

What ems will you be getting.
Quiet ay? Just what header cat are you currently running with the catback?Quote:

My J's Racing Exhaust weighs ~5KG and is a single exhaust. So I'm getting a lot more than just to be 'JDM' as I'm building a performance build / JDM build.
Probably Flash Pro once I have the funds...Quote:

Same setup as previous...
Weapon R + Hi Flow CAT
Im not saying its not a good build or not but a manual car would with an injen skunk2 would quicker then yours.
Don't know if I'm reading right but I'm guessing your saying what I had previously was a better setup in comparison to now?Quote:

1. My car is lighter by approx 15 kgs.
2. Its a single exhaust.
3. Intake is essentially a CAI with a shorter tube thus faster response.
Hmmm... Arent J's carbon fibre parts made in China?
You speak the truth.Quote:

Something to be proud of.Quote:

Lol..... You lot remind me of a thread on GTi forums....
Except the op got ridiculued for having a manual over the DSG.
Lol but the similarity between the manual and dsg is debatable its a big difference in our cars
His post didn't even make sense =.=Quote:

As you can see all my mods are mainly bolt ons or things that can be easily transferable between 1 car and another where future time I might get a second CL9 (Manual).
This car being owned since first hand is going to be left my little sister,
this is also her "Learners Car" when I'm not driving it. She can only drive Automatic thus why
I didn't swap my car for an Evo 7 or what not a year ago when I was offered one as I had to keep this for her.
So guys hope that solves the thought on why this guy isn't getting a manual car / conversion (initially I was going to until my little sister got her learners which changed plans).
So yeah :)
I will continue modding this "daily automatic car" and building this car with more things to come such as camber kits, coilovers, strut bars ect.
I will not buy a DC5R as I love the CL9 (Sorta like Rein :D) and will be tracking it on Labor Day at Winton :)
Next thing I shall be doing is sourcing either Feels Side Skirts + Rear Lip or a genuine Luckystar Rear Bumper....
Cheers Guys and thanks for the support ^_^
saw your car at jdmst. it needs more rim!
haha did you? Shouldve come said hi :P haha width wise or diameter?
It needs more low :D
And yes... #u@* fake sh*t :D
^^^
Skunk2 *cough*
diameter. and that exhaust is loud!
Yes?Quote:

actually i meant width hahah
Hell NawQuote:

LOL I read that massive rant as well but apparently the didn't :P
Junk2 is crap as a company and their camber kits, springs ect.
But exhaust wise I reckon for S2K, Euros and what not are really good.
Damn man, your cars everything I want my car to be, but can't afford. Lolz. Can't wait to see it at the next meet up, whenever that is.
Thanks Buddy :)Quote:

nice build mingzai! you should get the j's racing header too! im using one and lovin it
No strut bar?
@ergot
Lol Ming said he can't be bothered modding the subframe
LOL nope :( not yet
J's Racing Strut bar soon along with coilovers....
Yeah can't be bothered modding the subframe... But I would love to complete the J's Racing Set :(
to be honest with you i cant really see what the exhaust shop did to my car to fit the wrapped j's racing header. its either i got a cl7 body in a cl9 (lol) or the exhaust shop did a fabolous job. even my mechanic said i dont think they did anything with it. very powerful low-mid torque paired with 100 cel.
anyway looking forward to this build especially the j's rear diffuser are u gonna install them? ^_^
exhaust looks like it sticks out a fair bit, any side on shots?
Wait wait, you're getting J's coilovers?! You mean the Crux SPL?!?!? That ****ing $5 grand
Hmmm, that intake. Is that just a cover over the standard box? Wouldn't mind grabbing that for my car.
thats an intakeQuote:

I'll get onto that photo for you sometime this week :DQuote:

Illegal though... as in it's going to be hard to sell the car in the future ect ect...
Pretty much I can't be bothered haha :(
Tracking at Winton on Labor Day!
Any improvement seen going from Injen CAI/SRI (I think you had it in SRI form) compared to J's Racing?
