Thats awesome
Just downloaded an Iphone app that does the same thing "asmart Hud 3d + speed cameras"
gunna test it later
Apparently we have some shatter proof glass so its double layered so u need a film to reflect off otherwise u get double image. I figure you can just get away with cling wrap/iphone screen cover type material?
I was thinking of removing the center speaker. then installing the hud like the BMW type.Quote:

That is something different. But would require a lot of work?
staring at it for a while then realise the steering wheel is on the left.
self facepalm >.<
why remove the centre speaker
just grab yourself an adhesive silicon pad off ebay for $2
i use it in my euro ontop of my drink holder cover to stick my phone/keys other shit from slipping
I was thinking. Remove the center speaker. so it will have a small hole.Quote:

so it will be clean with nothing sitting on the dash.
Anyone here has a stock CU2 grill lying around in their shed?
Preferably the MY12 three strip but prefacelift is also good.
PM me if you're keen on selling...
hey guys,
shit it's been a while since i've posted something,
i'm planning to get a set of wheels with the following specs:
18x8.75 5x114.3 +35
and my cu2 is currently on Tein S Tech Springs.
Just wondering if those wheel specs are too aggressive and if guard rolling is needed?
Will invest in coilovers at a later stage when i have money lol..
Here's a recent photo of my car since it's been like last year since i've last posted haha.

Haha it's a tiny as gap. If anything, it's less than a 1cm gap between the hood and grill.Quote:

I think it all depend again which tyres you go for and how low you will be sitting. I would think that they needed to be rolled. Its +35, meaning sticking out 20mm from +55 stock and your rims are 8.75 compared to 7 stock. So that's a total of 3.75cm out from stock wheels.
Btw, this is the first time hearing that they have 8.75. I have only come across 8.5 or 9.
Nice spot! But... does this create any gain etc on the CU2?Quote:

I had a similar device made by Pivot on my FD and it did improve the lag throttle response but I doubt it will gain dramatic benefit on CU2 since I cannot feel a severe throttle lag, if there is any it's nothing compared to FD.
No not power gain of course... its a throttle controller... What I meant to ask is "Is it worthed to put it on CU2?"
I think you sir has answer my question :)
You will be surprised to find the lag after you have the throttle controller ;)Quote:

But in auto, everything's pretty much done for you, so the lag isn't as noticable. Hope it makes sense.Quote:

i want one. nuff said
I have one in mine. I use it from time to time for fun and I do feel a difference. The response is a lot more sensitive. My CU2 is manual btw.
where u guys getting the controller from?
Will it affect any fuel consumption figures on Auto?Quote:

I can see similarites between CL9 and CU2 from the front and rear part but that's about it. BUT NOT FD??
Has anyone who changed from FD/CL9 to CU2 gotten a response along the same line from your peers?
Just in case you are wondering, four of them are females... :p
Not being sexist here, just sharing a story..
Are they the type of chicks that think you're rich if you drive a 10 year old C180 or 318i?
48 shades of grey bro
anyway, since this is a cu2 mod thread i might as well contribute

off topic guys but doing a CAI - it wont void warranty unless the damage is someway associated with the mod right? a injen CAI will be fine if its done properly?

They were just ignorant I reckon and two of them would fit your description I CU2.. :)
I'm thinking on doing minor mods on the front grill, not a big fan of the chrome grill and I'm thinking of painting the chrome bit paint match (graphite luster) or just black(matte/clear coat)
Which one do you reckon would look better? I'm not good with photoshop sadly...
@Andrew: how is the can spray painted grill holding? Does the paint still look good?
thinking about it. lolQuote:

Where in Sydney can i get my grill colour coded to factory colour?Quote:

I've done mine @ Detroit Customs near Top One (Arncliffe) They did a pretty good job with it!Quote:

Do you know any panel beater that can do small jobs Mr.L8? I was thinking on doing it Andew's (nester) way but then I want the paint to match and last forevaaa...Quote:

What do you mean by fibreglass your grill Andrew?
Did you ask them to make a new grill from fibreglass?
Anyone know is there any "heat shield" available for our CU2 (to use with SRI)?
Currently looking to purchase a 2nd hand Takeda or Injen CAI/SRI and was wondering if I can install the heat shield or use the OEM one...
hi mate,Quote:

i thought you sold your cu2?Quote:

I liked your transformer stickers better :< where'd they go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arent those the chinese replicas? Why call them by the genuine name?
Something weird about afm 18" rims. Looks really small compared to rest of the car
And the car at the back... "soon" lol
Replica or not they do look GREAT!!!
The kit is still too chunky for my liking though.
Interested on where Neilz got his Progress rear sway bar too and how much!
Heeltoe
furythree, i got new shoes too :D

@Rudy yes they are chinese replicas, i just meant they are essentially Advan Rs replicas. And they even have the name cast into the wheels, with centrecaps etc, so there is literally no way to tell the difference.
You need to see them in RL. The car looks sooo noice
I dont think i can change anything else about the car cosmetically. Probably go for CAI next after my 5 year warranty runs out this year:thumbsup:
Bring back the Hondabot :oQuote:
