Well in INdia and Sri Lanka these modifications are very simple and i did that for my motorcycle there hehe. Any local mechanics can do it simply for cars or motorcycles, they are 1000 times better than the dealer mechanic over there...But i know these modifications can definately void the warranty...but over there no one cares about warranty or fine prints......it all are the local mechanics they got the mechanic shops generationally(by grandpa, then dad then son etc etc, so those mechanics got lot of hands on experience)...

Just kidding Praja.........there is no Carby on a CU2, it's EFI, the car is completely standard. The reason I am able to achieve such good economy is due to living in the country, so there is no city driving. It is a matter of driving with economy in mind which takes a lot of learning & willpower, but not necessarily driving slower.

I'd have to agree with Buddah.
I havent quite gotten up to the mileage per tank, he does!
I remember an old Top Gear episode, where they compared the fuel consumption of a Pirus and an M3, the point there is, its not so important WHAT you drive, but HOW you drive it.

My wife uses the Euro sometimes, it will always comes back with the fuel avg at 12-14L per 100K, I can maintain it around
9L, mind you Auckland traffic isnt that bad, even at peak times

Funny you should mention that, on the rare occasions my wife drives my car she uses around 2L/100km more than i do & thats driving on the same roads, yet I drive faster than she does.

I had a great laugh!!! I was going to say get a green powerband instead of the blue one!

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/

Anyone know how much approximately a 08 CU2 Lux with 10,000km will get from the dealer?

Mate sometimes its better to buy a brand new car with haggling with the dealer close to the 2yr old 2nd hand car price...Depends on your budget....I believe you can get a brand new Euro Lux auto around 39-40k drive away if you haggle..2yrs old 2nd hand may be around 34-36k plus you have to pay transfer fee, stamp duty...

I bought my brand new CU2 base model auto close to the 08 model CU2 2nd hand car price...

Good luck...

that actually looks quite cool with the Modulo Grill. I got the Modulo bumpers/spoilers myself but feel that the grill actually doesn't match with the bodykit (personal preference), but your black modulo grill looks great, mean looking. Is that a roof rack you got there too?
Maybe I am a bit retro, but i think those 80's gold Honda badge will looks great on the black :P.

i just realized that yours is a wagon, nice! i always thought that the wagon looks very stylish, a very slick looking back end, its a shame that we do not have the wagon version available here on Oz.

Congrats on the buy!!! I bought Pearl white earlier this year in March! Done about 5000km and am absolutely happy with it! Too bad I've already been hit twice at carparks...dang hit and runners!

Anyways your car looks fantastic! Are you planning to install any mods to it any time soon??

So far all I've installed are HIDs :D
