spoke to PowerchipGroup installer today....ecu tuned chip with 16kw gain on top of stock standard setup....even more with aftermarket air intake and mid exhaust system...anyone interested....not cheap but more reliable than a supercharger setup....also most probably not for everyone...
...16 kw...why not just get a proper sports car? its always that question.
Not all of us can afford a LF-A :(Quote:

some company in melbourne that does the chip tuning for honda...the only downside is that the car has to be in melbourne in order for them to install and tune it...gonna catch up with the guy this thursday when they install a barometer pressure sensor for tuning my engine to accomodate the SRI I have in my car.Quote:

Those wheels will fit fine. I don't think you'll need to roll anything? But I'm not an expert on knowing when to roll or not. You MIGHT have to roll the fronts. The rear's should be fine. Are you lowered on anything/how low is your car?Quote:

I'm going to run 19x8.5 +29 and 19x9.5 +22 soon.
so wat size shud iget that doesnt need a rol? running on tein ss atm, so lowwwww
and just bought a $700 shoei helmet...wallet is crying but skull is happy
hhahahah wallet is crying..hahahhaQuote:

235/40/19 will do the trick for the 9.5.
19x9.5 ET+22 will need full flat guard roll + PULL. without these, u will not get those wheels to clear your guards unless u are on stock height and dont go over bumps too quickly
The master
Roughly how much negative camber would I need to run? And the 9.5 +22 is only for the rears, not fronts.Quote:

im guessing -3.5 to -4 deg. depending on how stretched your tyres are.
Then again, there are no tyres narrower than 245mm in 19inch that will satisfy the load rating of stock tyres.
235/35 is in the region of 87Y XL <----- XL = extra load, should be around 650kg/tyre
225/35 well......85W maybe? no idea
your call on using under rated load ratings. if a tyre blows under heavy cornering/potholes, 1st thing to go off will be your wheels, and followed by possibly hubs. and your fuel tank sits just around the rear axle. it will bottom out and rupture :)

if you are correcting anything more than (+) or (-) 1 degree, you will need all 3 arms or at least the Toe arm + Camber Arm to get the setup right. Remember: incorrect Toe settings will wear off your tyres way quicker than camberQuote:

EDIT: NEVERMIND! GOT ONE.
Spent a whole ride home tonight trying to figure what intake a cu2 had pulled over asked. Just removed the resonatoor they sound better then a cl9 with it removed
painted the upper and lower grill gunmetal. got rid of the chrome and painted the middle metallic silver. found out it doesnt match the color of my fogs so im going to repaint it a darker silver. used home depot garage sealer on the top to fill in the gap.

Finally! Looking good bro.. have to see it in person
I will say it again, Fuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark.
i will add to that too. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. so jelly of your ride....
Is that a custom rear bumper surround or a modded Type-S kit? Looks wicked as hell :) I love those exhaust surrounds, looks like something on the big Lexus models.Quote:

why do u have odd wheels? I thought it wouldve made more sense to put the nice ones at the front since we are FWD?
Hahah, I don't wanna wrap anything else because I've seen other CU2's wrap their roof + boot/bonnet and it looks too much. I just wanna keep it simple and not overly done.
I have odd wheels for now because my fonts are still being processed. I only got the rears on because they were in stock whereas the fronts aren't coming in for another 1-2 months.
He going for the commodore look. joking.
Yeah, CF Hood/Boot too much, crossing the rice line right there.

Go for Gloss CF.
Hahah yeah, a few people were like 'are you going for the commodore look??'Quote:

Hey just putting it out there, Dont you guys think the center speaker position is a great place to install a HUD system.
Hope someone does it so i can copy the DIY:) but doesnt seem that hard anyways
Was thinking the same, a quick hack would be to put a small monitor with HDMI input on top of the dash and use a smartphone with HDMI output to drive it. Get it to reflect on the windshield and it could work.
Some Nokias have a simplified in-car interface for GPS, music and calls. But then you'd need to flip the image so it'll show the right way round.
someone in the states in stalled a HUD. i'll see if i can find you guys a link
