Hi mate,
Quick question, did u get your springs in aus .. or did you buy it off a website?
Midnight express window tint, and a dash mat!
i got it off ebay. 1inch front and back
I'm interested in hearing about that too!
Yanks recon they are great btw.
And we need PICS!!!
thats true i want to know too,
theres apparently another spring out on the market in addition to the progress springs; HR Springs which have a 1.3inch drop at front and 1.2inch drop at back compared to the eibach 1" to 1".
Might get these, but dont know how good they are.
I knew about the progress, but not HR ones! 1" drop seems enough for me.
the stockies are great for me... have tried HR on friend's FD but they're not to my liking... interested to see how does it goes for the CU2 :)
piccsss

Sorry for late reply, here's a picture

basically an aluminum pipe going all the way down with an apexi filter at the end, the pipe hasn't been polished so it's not shiny, and also you cannot see where they put the adapter area for the MAF sensor because its on the underside of the pipe roughly between the 2nd and the 3rd bend.
Hiya, new to this forum. Should be ordering my 09 Lux Nav Auto before the end of the month for delivery in Oct. (Need to run out company car contract).
Visited Revzone yesterday to discuss, CAI, manifold, cat and exhaust upgrades. Just waiting for firm pricing. They're also working on an ECU tune for the CU2. Not much demand though so they're not rushing.
I'll get the other mods done first up as I'm sure they'll be affordable.
Looking forward to hitting the streets in the Euro.
You can't do the exhaust manifold on the CU2 as the CU2's engine has the manifold cast into the head. And swapping a K24a3's head over is too much work because it doesn't line up properly.
If you want to modify the engine, best bet would be to swap the K24a3 into the CU2 and go from there...
From what I've heard that is a rule of thumb, and it's usually subjective. If an engineer wouldn't give you a certificate to swap an 08' engine into an 09' chassis I'd be suprised.
But if you could it would be good, the K24a3 would be MUCH quicker with the CU2's gearbox.
Are there any parts that can bring over from CL7/CL9?
Mods to date:
15% tint all round with 65% tint to front screen.
Lowered 35mm (lowered springs only). Have a set of 20's comming from eastern states - will adjust the suspension if need be. Seriously considering the rear lip spoiler and i have been told the Honda Civic IS sedan rear roof top spoiler / visor fits straight onto the CU2... would look awesome i think - just need to track one down!!!...
And i know we all love pics - so here are some average ones i have to date - have just come back home from a business trip so I am still hanging out to take some decent photos! - these do the car no justice!!!.... better pics to come...
Cheers.

Sitting sweet 09euro23! Love the colour too!
Have you had an alignment done yet with the new springs?
09euro23 can i ask springs did you bought?
geez u CU2 owners are slow at modding!!
I would love 2 see a mugen kitted CU2!! hehehe
I think JDM Concept have them on their trader page... dunno if they still planning to import them now though...
this is their post: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpos...33&postcount=2
scroll to the bottom of that thread
Yeah but who is gonna wait 3-4 months, There sending it by sea for $5350 or sumthing without rearspoiler.
For that price u can directly import the kit urself air 1week.
Springs used = Kings Springs (models KHFL-107SL & KHRL-108SP)
Very happy with the result and ride quality is only a little bit firmer - still an awesome drive. Lowered approx 35mm from std (std ride height is like a bus! so this is a MUCH better look!!) - looks freakin mean from front on when on the road - low and fat.
Highly recommend it to any CU2 owner. Cheers.
Hi, just wondering, does anybody know if a K&N filter for the CU2 is available?
wheres all the modded CU2 pics? wanna see some... =) suspension, wheels, bodykit
I know man, when is someone gonna do some real mods.
15% tints all around.
Mugen visors - Ordered from overseas and should be coming at the end of this week.
Mugen Grill - Same as above.
Hi guys, jst gt my car lowered yest n it looked awesome! like 09euro23 said, now it looked fat and low...
btw guys anyone has got their hands on the new mugen kit and how much its worth roughly?
OO i have yet to wash my car and take the pic will try to get it tml..
btw denot, are you with the blue plate? i saw your car in eastgarden i think this week or so...
yea i saw or left part was badly scrapped and one of your tyre was using the stock wheels.. what happened to the side man? is i may ask....

damn your tires and rims are so shiny...do u use tireshine or something?
*edit*
i just had a google for "rear roof top visor" and i know what you mean now. i think it wouldn't go very with the CU2 because the car is longer than the civic. the civic is shorter so it looks good with a roof visor like the hatchbacks do
i mean i believe the hatch backs use sun visors because they cant have spoilers. so thats why i got the wing type spoiler, makes it so much more aerodynamic than a bare assed CU2. without the spoiler it looks like a camaro gt lol. all u need to do is paint it yellow with black stripes and u have a honda bumblebee
Hi guys,
Below are pics from the guy i was chatting to in USA - he has an Acura TSX CU2... He is the one who told me about this rear visor pulled from a 2008 Civic SI... looks awesome i think - STILL CANT TRACK ONE DOWN!!! (although a few other types are popping up on Ebay!) - enjoy...

love the white cu2, those hpr rims are smicko!
Does the TSX get slightly more defined wheel arches? It might just be the colour, but they look different - more meaty
lovin the white euro... looks gorgeous.... the kit is awesome!
Correct me if im wrong. I think the rims is from honda accessories. However, oz ones are with the 5spokes chrome in colour and the rest black.. the front bumper i think its the aero front bumper which many tsx owners in the states got it. Not sure of the back and the sideskirts though.. anyone knows?
Sides and rear are also Aero. Looks very mean, but could do without the decals!
Hi all spoilers (except the roof top visor and stoopid BMW 'shark fin' - i hate those things) are honda aero kit - optional from factory. Wheels i am unsure about, but i will try to find out.
Looks nice i think - neat yet agressive. Also, the TSX is identical to our EURO - apart from front grille. The side guards are no different to our cars.
Cheers.
is this what ur talking about?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...%3A1|72%3A1171
man theres seriously nothing for the cu2
do normal accord or older cl7/9 visors fit on cu2?
its so stupid that ebay seller above sells oem CU2 parts for 25% off RRP...but hes located in america and shipping to aus is about 25% of RRp -_- basically meaning u save nothing and u have to instal it yourself and expose yourself to shipping risks. unless he discounts shipping, i see no hope any time for us CU2 owners in getting cheap parts.
i got so excited seeing colour coded mud flaps for $80 -_- (but +$25 shipping)
correct :thumbsup:

my new sussy :D
Nice leo... U go urself a cu2 eh? Cant wait 2 c wat ull do wit it :)
i have wheels and sussy for now
but unfortunately not many parts available yet for cu2.
the problem is, this car is not popular in japan. they are expensive being the main reason. so not many people can afford it and there is no tuning shop do it, with the exception of mugen...
we got it cheap in australia even with the pinging for some!
Wish u could get a hand on those new icebox intake from the us Leo... ;)
hey leo how r u? u got yourself cu2 too? Nice... btw what wheels are you currently on?
takeda intake is available lol :)
i just removed my resonator... sounds heaps better (well heaps louder).
btw, here's a pic of the CT Engineering Carbon Intake:

the cf looks awesome!
ive been seeing more and more cu2s on the road lately, some stocking nice rims, they gotta be ozhonda lurkers lol
hey ive been wondering u noe how audi's have those 2 white LED strips on their headlights that are on during the day even. i was thinking of getting 2 strips myself and test to see how it looks. cheap mod would only cost me $20 at most. but i was wondering what lights are legal? ive seen people driving around with a blue or yellow hue in their headlights! :S if those 2 colours are legal then i might get blue LED strips
