I order this kits from us hmm its cost me around 350 with shipping around 450. and there is no side affect. your car will be more responsive and solve lagging problem :)

He is not talking about body kits, he is talking about the buddy club e-throttle. lol
i noe but he made a thread that benjamin just deleted saying he can get kits too. so i thought i might ask
JUST DONT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT "GROUP BUYS"
Anyone every tried a grounding kit like this for eg http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Perfo...Q5fAccessories
Do they really work and are they even worth it? i read the guys feedback and most people seem happy and say they notice a change.
Also what about this so called sprint booster? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/09-AC...Q5fAccessories
would love to know if anyone tried them... especially the sprint booster.Quote:

havent had time to do anythign with it. Looks SOOOOO much better quality than the stock. and reuseable of course.
my friend got one for his civic, and says NOTICEABLE hp gain. i was like that cant be! its just an air filter.
gunna take pics tommorrow and test it out. cant wait :D
Are you going to remove the resonator as well? The K&N is definately a worthwhile upgrade for those who aren't willing to install a CAI or SRI.Quote:

resonator? isnt that for the exhaust? i wanted an SRI but im a bit short on cash and then i remembered that one of the reasons i wanted this car was cause of fuel efficiency. these days 1 months petrol is about the cost of a new intake. in the i settled with the filterQuote:

I was going to lower mine on the weekend, but I scrap my exhaust or something under the body everytime I exit the apartment car park
go real slow and sideways? or just park outside everyday;)Quote:

oh man got towed!!! i heard that the towing guys are kinda rough coz they dont really care about the car and the fornt are often scrapped. sad to hear that bro! you still have to get it lowered! park outside and fear towing or move to other apartments:p haha... jokes.
how much were the rims and tyres?
hey fury, any updates on the K&N filter?

Oh yeah, awesome rims nxn75u :D. Looks sweet as :p
thanks!;) love your modulo set though. You didnt get the modulo grille as well?Quote:
Originally Posted by kimnkk

wow the carbon fibre roof fin... dont forget some pics... hahaha... do you happen to be the one ordering fujitsubo exhaust from JDM concept for cu2 as well?
this is a great thread
wish my parents would at least lower there CU2 and get a nice set of wheels
You can keep on trying to persuade them!:p
Or, give them as anniversary present or something :p
haha yeah they wouldnt buy the luxary model they bought the base :(
I just hate how high they sit stock it looks terrible and also my parents whacked a spoiler on the back......looks tacky and cheap imo
^^^ Hahaha, for me the standard one is a lot better than the lux. That is why I didnt buy the lux (that and coz my wife doesnt like cheapo leather seat :p)
why is the standard one better?
just my parents said they didnt want to spend the extra cash for the lux but then they went and spent like 5k or something on accessories for their base model
5k worth of accessories? what did your parents get? if its the modulo kits, it will look HAWT!
na they didnt get that they just got stupid shitQuote:

bumper/door strips
plastic behind the door handles
silver linings inside the door trims
mats
and then they got some paint protection which cost them like 1.5k :thumbdwn:
they still have the hide to tell me off for spending up on my EM1:(
Well money wise I guess... $33k for a std auto or 40k lux auto, I dont think extra 7k is worthed for cheap leather, sunroof and ugly looking wood grain stuff. :p Note: this price is when I get mine at begin 2009.
oh ok they paid like 40kfor the base only had it 1monthQuote:
Originally Posted by denot

U can ask them to get the kits coz some parents might like them. Like my mum, she likes a nice body kit to go with her car, and even rims too.:D
they were going to get side skirts but they cant cause of their stupid mud flapsQuote:
Originally Posted by nxn75u

Praja6 apparently just got a base model for 34,500, so i guess is comes down to shopping around for the best deal.Quote:

u forget denot that the rims on the lux are better
in fact i like them so much i wont change them for a long time. they look particularly good at night when reflecting light
"Better" in what sense? That they're bigger? That they reflect light at night? That the tires are harder to find? Not having a go at you, just wanna know how they're "better".
I guess we can argue that the lux is not worth it over standard all day long but it comes down to preferences. Some will prefer the ~$7k in their pockets while others prefer the features.
For me, its the features. The leather is better than the CL9 one and also not like the Mazda or subaru leather. It has other things as well, like 18" wheels, seat warmers, 8 way electric and memory seats, sunroof, auto dimming mirror, auto leveling xenons with washers and parking sensors front and rear.

Oh wow it does look great i suppose. Which brand of navigation do you use?
does it work well with the factory knob?
do you stil have to use the touchscreen to make phone call (tap the number pad)?
currently using IGO maps now
and It doen't have bluetooth on device
and everthing is working
Hey mate, how much n where did u get the unit frm? Nicely done!!!
bought it from www.szutility.com but DO NOT BUY from there.
recommended www.autodvdgps.com
paid USD773(device, rear view camera and shipping) but www.autodvdgps.com is bit cheaper
if you guys group buy it more cheaper as show on website.
That seems to be a reasonable price with shipping and rear view camera? how was the rear view camera? the one from honda is so good as i've been to one and even at pitch dark, we're still able to see very clearly and the angle was just right. My friend bought similar in built gps system and the camera wasnt working as good as expected. Very keen to know if its good. i'll get it! haha...
just added hood bonnet and headlight protector
