RB1-ODC **Stance Build Thread**

Hi Guys,

Got an RB1-ODC, and had it for a while now, but i think its time to build her up for the stance appearance... not too ricey but a clean bangabus :)

The ODC is complete stocker at the moment, apart from the Black ass tint all round and a set of SMD/LED interior and exterior lights fitted. So far ive got some parts that is being prepped up for fitting but just havent had the time to do it..

Parts TBF (to be fitted)
- Philips 35w 6k Slim digital ballast HID kit (INSTALLED)
- Absolute Fog Light kit (INSTALLED)
- Reverse Cam with Sensor RearView mirror kit
- DBA wiperslot front rotors (INSTALLED)

Parts on order
- HKS Hipermax Cwagon coilovers (To be installed soon)
- K&N Drop in Filter (INSTALLED)
- Genuine Black Floor mat set (To be installed soon)

Wish/WTB Parts
- Modulo/Absolute roof spoiler
- Modulo/Absolute side skirts
- Modulo Front Lip (INSTALLED)
- Modulo Rear Lip (To be installed soon)
- Mugen Grill (INSTALLED)
- 19inch Wheels (pref staggered config)
- HARDRACE Rear adjustable camber kit (To be installed)
- Rear sway bar kit (must be thicker than OEM is 12-14mm)
- Complete K24A JDM Spec / Absolute ODC or Accord Type R (Searching)


So i guess ill be doing this nice and slow as parts are hard to come by and i will update with pics, progress of my build.

any inputs or suggestions is appreciated :thumbsup:

does anyone know what are the interior dash colour variants? as my dash and cluster lights are all BLUE ... is this standard AUDM?

yes, blue is standard for AUDM. JDM pre-FL Absolute is red and thats the only different color for RB1

Nice... what year and colour is your RB1? Hope it's not a Face-lifted 06+ Silver ;)

Just a few things you might want to consider:

1) Check that the bezel on your foggies will fit your Modulo lip kit as the ones for the Absolute model is different.

2) Would suggest you go the full hog and upgrade front and rear rotors and pads plus get Stainless Steel brake lines. You will not get any braking improvement just with front slotted rotors.

3) Go for K&N filter, HKS is a use and throw away, where as K&N is washable.

My ODC is pearl white..

Edit: pre-FL - 10/2005

Any locals selling braided brake lines?

What pads do u recommend?

Ill see how i go with the fog lights as i know i got to cut through the front bumper.

Do you know if there are markings behind the front bumper so i can use it as a cut out guide? My kit didnt come with any templates etc.

let me guess then, your is a pre-FL RB1. as far as i know only aka_NSX DIYed foglight kit on pre-FL model here

yep it is.

i hope he sees this thread and shed some light on my situation.

actually its not hard to take the front bumper off then you will see if any trace marks by Honda
i've done that by myself and its fun!!

Might tackle the foglight install this weekend. got a dremel kit to ease up the tight cutting.. just gotta figure out the wiring/harness of the foglight ..

Also do you know if the 3rd row seats need to be in IGN mode to power up?

Actually I wouldn't recommend getting fog lights only because I haven't used mine at all after installing them, but yeah only aka_NSX has done the install for a pre-facelift and his ODC has got the Modulo front lip as well.

In terms of pad recommendations, I've heard EBC green/red is good for grip and less brake dust
I haven't used them before as I'm using a Big Brake kit upgrade on the front with proprietary pads and RDA rotors and pads on the rear
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HONDA-CRV...item19c4009307

Not sure who does SS brake lines for the Odyssey locally as mine came with the BBK upgrade kit, might have to ask some brake places?

Key doesn't need to be inserted to operate the auto 3rd row, but I think the car must be on ground (ie not jacked up). I had the car up on the hoist once and tried to operate the third row and it wouldn't move.

^^ thanks for the clarificaiton..

with regards to drop in K&N filter ..is this the correct part number for it? K&N 33-2072 or is this a part number that is compatible to our ODC?

i need the fog/driving lights as i do alot of distance driving int he night :)

I beleive it is a compatible part #

Do the foggies help? They do bugger all difference for me. The HID conversion helped a lot more

yes it does help for me - especially in the dark woods/forest drive through. LOL.

might change the bulb to a HID kit too for the foggies. :)

anyone know what these 17in wheels came from?

wheel ET specs?

http://site.icbmotorsport.com/Used_J...55offset_4.jpg

according to the web they are euro R wheels?

looks like Euro R. not sure ET, may be +55 or even +60 if really from JDM

do they have these wheels locally in the AUDM Euro's? (NON -R)

got a set of these puppies lastnight and gunna wack them on the ODC for now until funds become available for 18x9 staggered sets :)

came with 225/45/17 tyres.

believe AUDM CL9 comes with this style not sure same spec.
rolling diameter with 225/45/17 is way off by 4.714% to oem 215/60/16, not recommend mate!!

The wheels are OEM Honda made by Enkei, 17x7 +55

I beleieve, this design comes standard on the JDM CL7 Euro R in gunmetal

AUDM Accord Euro 05 CL9 Lux, 06 CL9 Sport and 07 Limited Edition came with these as well, but in Silver.

They aren't that 'special', but they look nice

As for the tires, they are too small, you will need to change to a 50 profile tire to fit on the Odyssey to get the proper speedo reading

to make this worthy - must be 40 series right?

otherwise whats the worse case scenario? speedo will be off?

EDIT: 50 series ...thanks

Hi Rage King

Welcome to the ODC family :p

18's arent going to give you "stance" your going to need some 20's and what do you know i have some mint AME's FS :) below are some images so give me a shout

[F] 20x8.5 +40
[R] 20x9.0 +38

Also, again relating to "stance" imo the TEIN's arent going to give you that ride height you need to achieve "stance" It's lowest setting will be too high (but thats just me bcos i love super low) i'd suggest some RSR's or bag it :)

---

car also needs to be in [P] "park" for it to operate :)

wow 2k1cvc - that is some nice ODC u got ... 20's is abit too big for me, as the bangabus is always fully loaded, hence why 18's or 19's worse case is what im looking for.

also i dont want too much issues with rubbing/rolling etc. but yes i know what you mean by stance. :)

RSR's? - how much are they? similar to Teins super flex wagon?

EDIT: your front bar - did that come with the oem foggies already? or did you have them cut in and installed?

Build thread and not 1 pic of the car... come on

LOL.

its coming, just looks abit sad right now, as its completely stock and havent had time to fit anything as yet :(

ill update thread with pics once ready ...

that's alright.

that's what a build thread is all about. if you don't have pics from the start of the build what will we compare the finished product to....

My mum has an Odyssey. Spacious, very comfy. Best car to sleep in.

haha ... yes tell me about it. when the mrs kicks me out of the house - rather than sleeping in the doggy house, go to the ODC and layout the back seats and crash on the pillows/blanket with style. - Free wifi too (car parked on driveway) :)

markismaxinus has got a point there.... pics or no more help ��

must admit Odyssey is not spacious enough now....... but driving more like go kart compares to spacious enough haha

^^ true.. maybe its time for a Delica or El Grande :)

i like these rims on this ODC ...but not that big and cambered. i think its got 20's on it ...18-19's for me imo.

20 is never to big :p 20’s are the new 18’s…. Trust me :p, if you bought 18’s, you will wish you bought 20 :p This was my daily only until recently, I have no issues with scrubbing however I did roll the rear wheels arch lips a little just in-case as I’m running a -1 camber. It is the size & width (before anything more aggressive) with no issues what so ever. Are you in Sydney? You must see to understand J

With that said perhaps a Odyssey meet In Sydney guys?

RSR’s I bought 2nd from a guy in this forum, he they go much lower than the TEIN’s so with 20’s you won’t have a issue.

Got the foggies installed from Honda Dealer a week after buying the car, they stuffed up something in our papers so gave us free foggies. They cut and installed J

A few guys here are on 20’s…. There is 3 RB1’s that I know of and 2 RB3’s and we all dads with fams J

^^ yes your prob right.

a sydney meet would be nice, like to see the other ODC's around. i see a white one around my area but forgot the plates. (western syd).

where can the RSR's be bought? O/S i guess? linkage?

only reason is i always have a full load in the car and dont want scrubbing whatsoever. maybe 19's would be the way to go for me.

what would be the ideal ET for fronts - 19x8 and rear -19x9 for a deep dish look?

would i need to roll any guards?

will i need camber kits?

Rim size is not going to cause you scrubbing, it’s how aggressive you play around with offset and width of rim plus how low you go, that will determine if you scrub or not.

The more dish, the crazier your offset and width will be – the closer you get to scrubbing and having to roll guards.

My previous set up was just with springs (which was great) TEIN S-TECH (1.5inch drop) with 20x8.5 +40 all round no scrubs, no guard rolling or anything – perfect for just everyday driving with 2 kids in the back, and looks clean and simple – see below


http://i.imgur.com/EArnhl.jpg[/IMG

http://i.imgur.com/eI61wl.jpg[/IMG

20 is not too big especially for this car, I think they are the perfect size.


Since we bought our 2nd family car, it was no longer the daily so I bought these new 20’s that I have explained above,

http://i.imgur.com/ETAwHl.jpg[/IMG

however I want a more aggressive look as it’s no longer a daily “20x10 +35(R)” and (20x8.5 +30(F)” so hence I am selling them.

If you want anything like the video you have shown, you will definitely need to roll your guards and select a bigger rim size.

Camber kits? Well it depends if you want to save your tyres, here is a pic (not so good as its side on) of my car without camber kits and dumped to its lowest setting

You should be able to tell that the rear has massive camber so if that is a look your after, then don’t bother getting them

http://i.imgur.com/Y9jMjl.jpg[/IMG

If you want a more “phat/flush” look, them get them (refer to this thread)

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...RB1-new-wheels

Hope this helps man

Thanks dude,

I like the first rims u got dude, i like that style rather than the bling.. I think your right with 20's makes it look good but what was your profile ? 30/35?

So a 20x8.5 +40 will fit wthout any rolling, scrubbing, camber .. That seems to be a better look and spec for me..

Thanks again...

Btw u still got those first rims? Lol

Rage King, just my 2 cents.

Generally what sort of driving do you do? If its mostly smooth roads, then a low car with large rims and mad camber is still alright. But if the roads are rough, I wouldn't recommend going past 18" rims for comfort and going too low will cause shit loads of problems. The Odyssey is pretty long and getting stuck on humps and enduring scrapes to the under carriage is not fun.

Low and big wheels is cool, but just remember the Odysseys you see are from Japan and their roads are much flatter and smoother than Australia. Fit those specs on a daily be prepared to loose some comfort. But I'm sure you already know that :)

^^thanks for the advice bud.

Yes that is exactly why i want 18-19" as i do alot of interstate driving. So being too low is a no go.

Ill test trial the height once i get coilovers Then ill choose from there what wheel size to get.

Old wheels are gone sorry... New wheels are still available and are runnning on 225/35/20 with 3 month old Yokohama tyres (pretty much brand spanking new)

I also still have the TEIN springs FS and you can see the ride height as per my pics posted.

PM me if you would like to check them out, can do something really affordable if you take them all :)

i have tein super wagons on my odc on the lowest setting and is not really low enough for me. So if your looking to slam your odc i would recommend not using tein super wagons. Maybe go BC coilovers if you want slammed.

^^pics of ODC?

Super flex suppose to be the to of the line for the teins ?

Installed modulo front lip and fog light kit today..(anyone has the same kit? And figured out the red single wire with plug is for?)

Prepping for the HD double sided tape;
- cleaned up the cutout
- cleaned areas of where the DS tape is going to stick on the front bar with turps.

More pics will come once ive sorted out the wiring harness that this kit came with.

Also being a multi task expert lol

Ive also installed my new front DBA T2 wiper slot rotors.

After

Will test drive later

Well done mate, the fact that you can install your own rotors means your DIY skills are way better than most of us here :)

How are you supposed to control the foggies with a non-OEM kit? My OEM kit requires a change to the indicator stalk and when the foggies get switched on there is an icon that appears in the instrument cluster, will this kit also have an indicator when foggies are switched on?

Thanks bud.

Well, the kit came with a switch which looks like oem type with a light indicator.

This kit was suppose to be plug and play, but its not.

There is a fused cable with a brown plug looks like this is the direct battery power.

Then a thin red wire with a pigtail which doesnt seem to plug anywhere oem style.

So im going to cut off the pigtails and wire up this red cable to the parklight switch which is fused at the IGN point. This way if i forget to switch off the main foglight switch once i remove the key it will auto shut off.

Only downfall is i wont have the fog light indicator on the cluster.

Im looking at a switch lever in YAJ but they dont fckin respond or ship OS. :(

link to the item you are looking at on YAJ?

^^ ill find the link tmr.. Tired already..

Well ive managed to figure out the wiring. Had to solder here and there and also extend the power cables :(

Shes pretty much good now except to finish the last wire for the park light splice in and the bottom spash guards at the front bar.

Then test drive the new rotors tmr.




Next plans;
- prep, refurbish, paint modulo rear lip with the rear bar (to match colour)
- source coilovers
- source decent headers and change dump pipe to back piping to 2.5".

1st stages completed.

looking great! :D

^^thanks guys

Q's

Would an after market headers and 2.5inch exhaust system make any difference to the power / torque of the ODC? - in other words is it worth to do but using the oem muffler to maintain the noise levels quite?

wah, really a big plan on your modding list...... i have a catback FGK for our K24A and sounds fun.
hit me up/make an offer if you want any parts from mine. i'm in Syd and now sure how often your will come over.

---

nah not really big plans just want it to flow and response better especially along the highway driving ..

also i dont want the noise to change. right now its all OEM quiteness and id like to maintain that noise levels. hence why ill retain the oem muffler and just change all the piping front header to back.

was even thinking of sourcing an Absolute ECU plug and play but dont know if our AUDM motors will cater the absolute ecu tune.

hmm... interesting.... thought (i've never done any on my previous/current rides) header mod is the most noise on exhaust work.
IMO, better not think about Absolute ecu to AUDM motor unless engine swap. need power -> bolt-on FI is the way to go

---

yeh i guess so .. no point for absolute ecu might as well just get kpro ftw! lol.

but nah im not going to go down that path ...probably just full 2.5inch exhaust to match the downpipe from the headers (as this is bigger in diameter than the rest of the piping).

***UPDATE***

Some parts arrived;

- K&N Drop in Filter,
- 35W 6k HID

Parts to arrive soon;

- Interior white SMD kit
- front parker & number plate SMD lights
- 55w 6k HID kit
- Modulo Roof spoiler

Parts waiting on back order;

- Mugen front grill
- Modulo side skirts
- HARD RACE rear camber kit
- DS2500 front brake pads




fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu there goes holiday funds :)

Will it make the car perform better with a header and piping change will leaving the mufflers stock? There will still be exhaust restrictions at the mufflers. I don't think doing that will have any performance gains, but I don't know enough about these things cos I've not done a full IHE change.

The FGK exhaust AusAccord has is I think one of the quietest full catback systems based on a video I saw a few years ago. We have a thread on exhaust db levels

The Absolute ECU would have been tuned for the performance JDM (200bhp) K24A which has different internals to our economy K24A6 (160bhp). So getting the ECU without the engine is going to be a waste of time. HKS bolt on turbo kit for the Odyssey is the simplest way to increase performace.

Don't think KPro will work on our car, mostly I've seen Unichip Ver Q being used. From what I have heard Unichip+Exhaust+intake change will only increase HP by 15-20. But all this is based on reading what other people have written in forums.

Err not wanting to be a wet blanket, but you do know that HID's at that Kelvin perform really badly in rain and fog. Your foglights in normal conditions will be bright as hell and most prob blind on coming traffic, but will be useless in fog.

in my old ride i had 8k kelvin HID's on a non projector and that was blinding but performed well in the night and rain .. but our ODC's are projectors so i dont know what the outcome will be - once fitted then ill know. BUT yes you are right depending on how heavy the rain is any lights are bad unless your using yellow bulbs imo.

6K is not as bad as the 8K kelvin ..as ive test trialed both in my old ride, and found 6k whiter than 8k having a tab bluish effect which is shit. lol

yes i guess your right... whats the point of having a full exhaust and retaining the oem muffler :( . in saying that what is the FGK brand? i watched a youtube of another ODC with the HKS legamx and on idle he was revving it and it didnt sound too loud ..

hmmm might have to dig further into this before buying any exhaust parts as yet. Maybe just a header to CAT (replace oem CAT) and leave all catback oem. there will still be restrictions but as long as it runs abit better .

6K is not as bad as the 8K kelvin ..as ive test trialed both in my old ride, and found 6k whiter than 8k having a tab bluish effect which is shit. lol

I change my Odyssey's low beams to 4300k and left the foggies stock. My Civic has 6000k and I feel the 4300k might be the best compromise between output and visibility.

FGK is short for Fujitsubo, AusAccord and aka_NSX has the FGK Wagolis, Atjo and I have the HKS Legamax Premium although mine was for the Absolute model and needed modifications to fit. The Youtube you saw was most probably Atjo's system. Another member Mobil1 had the HKS hiPower 409 and that one was loud. Most companies only make cat back systems for the RB1, might be a challange to find a header.

^^Thanks...i think ill leave the extra performance as the last solution.. :)

Any one know what is the OD of the oem front rotors? 300mm?

thinking of test trial fitment using JDM DC5R/RSX front Brembo calipers. - apparently they are fitted on the dc5R's OEM 300mm rotor as well, so the only thing is the thickness, inside diameter clearance and caliper mounting positions will be the culprits. Theyre both 5x114 PCD's so that shouldnt be an issue.

now to find brembos locally to trial fit. :( got a mate whos got the set but hes too scared to remove them for trial fitment LOLOLOLOL

yes, 300mm for our front rotor. no need to think of JDM Brembo, nothing directly bolt on as verbally confirmed by my mechanic, offset issue.
who wants a set of Brembo with rotor for bolt onto RB1??

yes OEM is 300mm F 305mm R

I've read, to fit DC5R Brembos, you need S2000 rotors.

As you can see I've read a bit, but never tried hahahahaha

its hard to confirm these things unless someone has physically installed / test trialled themselves.. :(

if its just offset issue then a bracket can be made up... - all test and trial i guess.

im just thinking of a brake upgrade due to the heavy load of the ODC when stopping . such a crappy feel. so if my mate allows me to test trial fit one and spin the rotors freely without issues then well know then...but for the meantime ill just keep dreaming :p hahaha

i dont want to spend 2k+ for BBK as not really speeding or anything...more for just safety :)

believe my mechanic tested fit a set of JDM Brembo either from DC5R/FD2R onto RB1 with no luck. also JDM DC5R/FD2R Brembo has cast bracket so custom bracket is no go, only shave and spacer can be done. have said all above or on OH, i'm no expert on modification but just a normal RB1 user only....

Rage King, out of curiosity how are you getting your parts?

Mr Ling, you need to get SMD LEDs, the normal LEDs are just too dim.

The number plate ones are just T10 wedge bulbs, just make sure you get about 5 SMD LEDs per bulb

I try to get aftermarket parts locally, if all fails then i turn to egay, or google etc.

If oem parts is required, i try the dealers then wreckers first then if all fails back to the web searching..

you will need T10 SMD purely pointing downward. also need some finger nail clear coat make the cover transparent
something like below but be careful the length as need to accommodate covers. mine is only big SMD and can lights up the ground as well.
