There's a place in the northern subs (Thomastown) called HondaTec. I go there to get my 04 Euro serviced and I've found them very good. Happy with the service and the price.

After preparing/cleaning the surface, I would use a primer spray paint to prime the surface, this helps the paint to stick to the surface properly. Then you can go any colour you want.

I used a...

I second that... I did my Euro with this color.

hire a hot chick to be the passenger everytime you drive... it will turn heads. (not sure if that's a cheap mod) :p

seriously... i agree with the euro R grill suggestion. I got one on my blue...

got my 80K service done a couple of months back and it cost me only $400. Not through a dealer. If its out of warranty then save some money and go somewhere else.

Agreed. But gotta also have the font lip, side skirts and rear lip to make it a "genuine replica", oxymoron right there! Hehe

i recently got a set of Pirelli PZero Nero on my 17' rims and they are brilliant. Not cheap but i got them on special ($285 per/corner) and so far so good.

Immediate improvements were noise level...

hi guys, i have a s2000 style antenna on my DC2. It wasn't the OEM version but a replica. Got it off a guy on this forum ages ago. Intalled it myself and it was pretty straight forward. Gets great...

agree with yfin.

i followed the DIY with the H9 bulbs and the results are really good, better than i expected!

agreed. I had DC5R recaro's in my VTi-R and i used DC2R rails to fit them in.

I looked into fitting them onto my stock VTi-R rails but it was too much work.

Pardon my ignorance, but are you implying there is a quality difference depending on where it was sourced from?

Which local distributors are you recommending? i've just asked for two quotes for the Bilstein/Eibach setup and both have come in over $1,600.

A trader here has Tein SS for $1,395.

Mine came with the D Brackets from Whiteline. Did you buy the swaybar as a kit or just the bar itself? If you bought the kit then they should be there!

Not sure how much they are locally, but the ones i got are MTEC. I only bought them becuase they had good reviews from other members here. If you want the same set as mine let me know, i accidently...

okay guys, here's a shot with the new H9 Bulbs (4,750K). Bought them from a trader on OZHonda. Pretty good match if i do say so myself.

Can anyone confirm that the Artic Blue Pearl paint code above is correct? I'm looking at a Honda Workshop Manual and it's saying a different code (G507P). Could this be for another conuntry i.e US?

i suppose i'll have to test it out in the rain and let you all know how it goes.

just be careful about the clearance between the swaybar and Type R LCA. I bought a rear swaybar from Whileline for my 98' VTi-R.

Because i had ITR LCA's the swaybar would occasionally rub against...

I did this mod also and it looks awesome, but i'm experiencing the same problem as ENVSSS. My fog lenses haven't cracked but after 10-15 min of driving the lenses are bloody hot and i assume that if...

give Steve at HondaTec a call. They are in Thomastown and specialize in Honda's. I've got a mate that goes there and i've recently had my car serviced there too. Resonable price and they know what...

PM me your email so i can send you the pages you need.

well in Vic, VTi-R's are in demand due to the recent Power to Weight restictions for P Platers. That and the fact they are a good car all round (VTEC!!!)

i got a 2004-05 workshop manual i can check but, i assume it will be different for your car as it's a 2003???

$220, is that from a Trader here aaronng?

ahh Cheers. I'll have a look at Autobarn this weekend.
