btw updates on car is bought some coilovers (well my brother gave them to me) Tein brand. they make my car so much better. and black boot and beaver from Mugen_R( since some dumb*unt rear ended me but lucky it was only the boot, he must of had a bull bar cos just my boot was fu*ked, then he ran.) came bak to car found like that, was so pi$sed. anyways its over now... oH yeah i got my front bonnet and front bar from Chr1s on this forum too :D.
yeah for sure, i always vtec past ur house lol, so whats happening with the paintjob black or red lol
Tbh I'd go all one colour, looks much cleaner
But each to their own :)
Looks good, but I reckon go all black. Would look so sweet.
idk i really like black bonnet, roof, boot. i dk why it think it just makes the car stand out to me.
then ill get some axis og on it :D
thanks for the comments guys and girls
really hope to meet at next meet up
got defected red sticker the other long weekend, cos car is tooo low, and my apex n1 exhaust too loud. he gave me 3hours to get home from north ryde lol
lol yeah if you like black boot n roof n stuff do it
Come to the meet on the 18th at JDMyard, should be a good one
thats gay i cant make it im leaving to QLD on 17th dec *cries* dammit :(
wish i could but cant got everthing booked for it
hope wen i get bak on 27thdec there be a cruise or something
Probably not haha this will be the last Sydney meet for 2010 I think.Quote:

yeha i was thinking of TB and IM too but dont know which one to do first. so yeah i guess ill do what you just said
thanks pablos
It's much better to do them both at once, while your at it might as well upgrade the intake as well, much easier to fit things all at once rather than doing the IM and then TB later onQuote:

what brand is good??
I used Skunk2 IM and TB on my teg, worked a treat :)
I used and Injen CAI as well, but if I had to choose now I'd probably go with Fujita instead
do you know if it legal for me to upgrade my im an tb in sydney cos im on my P's green.
Dunno man but knowing the laws nowadays any modification to a stock vehicle is pretty much defect, I never really had a problem with it though... I had a strut bar going across as well so you couldnt really tell unless you knew exactly what you were looking at
true yeah i dont think i can upgrade intake system cos it will stand out. so im and tb will do me for now.
does anyone kno where i can pick up some hid globes only!! cos my ones blew??
You can get airbox setups like comptech icebox or mugen airbox and they're legal because they're enclosedQuote:

alright ill look that up thanks
sweet car dude, how hard was it to put the prelude seats in?
thanks boostn
easy as cos the prelude seats had eg rails on it which is a straight fit for dc2 :D
im actually getting sick off them lol
EG rails go on the prelude seats without drilling any extra holes?
they prelude seats had eg/dc rails on them already from my mates eg. prelude rails are diff.
sweet, just finished putting mine in then! =]
paint it all black mann
LOL way to steal my nick... :P
Nice car man!
lol shiet i dont kno someone had it lol my bad!!! Vvvtec lol hahah
we can b bro on ozhonda hahha
yeah thinking going all matt black??Quote:

Lol I really wouldn't go matt black, really not a good colour to last a while
lol well i havent seen any around thats why i want to do it?
any other colour suggestions??
ANYONE wanna swap my dc2 for civic ek (facelift)??? or vtir ek???
satin black lasts longer than matt black
If you go matt black make sure you get it done properly. It can look real nice, but you see so many cars around who have attempted matt black but they look really bad.
y do u want a ek? prefer the shape or something
yeah its the shape i like hatchback, im sick of coupe...
is this car worth swap for mine??>>>> http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-...AdIdZ241850001
That's clean, very clean.
In terms of performance, it's going to be a big downgrade. But it looks nice.
What's more important to you in a car?
looks. but i can get power in the end from a engine conv right??
Ofcourse you can, but thats if you have the $$$ and time. :pQuote:

Swap it
idk if i should
You shouldn't.
With the money you would eventually spend on making that perform well, you could spend it on your Integra and make it very responsive/quick/fun!
tru i will keep my dc2 thanks for the advisor vvvtec
Lol but eks imo are better i rekon 2k greddy turbo kit n ur loving life
fuk one telling to do it and one telling not tooo.... fahhhh which one??
Do what YOU want to do.Quote:

My 2c.
but wouldnt the ek have much more handling??
Not necessarily.
You've got coilovers in your teg don't you? With a couple other bits and pieces your DC2 will handle like a dream. It's a very good chassis man.
well actually it would be better if you were to go MOD FOR MOD with a ek chasis and dc2 chasis im pretty sure the ek would be the victor...ek is lighter, looks sexy,the 1 he showed us looked clean and alot of cosmetics so all he has to do really is save up and go all out for engine IF HES AFTER SPEED which is pointless these days anyway
dc2 goodshape but you can do so much more with a ek IMO ive had both cars and i prefered my ek
Fair points man!
OP just do what you want man!
i hope you didnt really listen to people and bought an upgraded tb on a stock motor....wasted money.
yeah thanks guys for your help... i think i will keep my dc2 since i see more ek around then dc2 plus i got a feeling i will really miss my b18c compare to a d16y single cam vtec. so i will keep my dc2 and continue with my mods and get my car resprayed and just take care of it. btw i do have coilovers but i dont know what brand they are lol. what can i do to improve my dc2 handling, cos i really want to stick to the road not drift lol
upgrade swaybars, get beaks bar, rear strut brace,
i got front and rear lower sway bars
how much do sway bars roundly cost??
nice to meet ya GSI PSI? love the crx, dont c much in the blue colour. u missed out that night man should of went straight with me on humehwy, rx7 evo 9, GTO mit, hammering it and cops catch them down the road, evo turned off and gto but the rx7 got caught hahha.
haaha nice to meet up to, thanks ur car looks pretty nice with the colour scheme i like , i went to my house cause my mate just recently sprayed his integra and wanted me to bring my
integra out so we can both cruise, plus we had other friends with teggies, so you shoulda came my way haha :P
