Can't shake off the modding bug

**baboo** · 08-02-2010 09:55 PM

The odyssey is suppose to be a family car, a baby carrier. At least that's what I thought it will be when I bought it.

Initially just to increase safety, brighter HID lights for night driving, better brake pads for stopping power, these are shortfalls from the showroom.

Then I had front spoiler added, front grill changed and for sportier look.
was content for a while until.....

I saw a set of 18" work emotion XD9 with correct size tyres for odyssey. I just had to have them LOL. Now modding bug has bite again.

If THE BOSS is permitting , coilovers are next, maybe getting the rest of the bodykit.

and maybe a HKS turbo kit? LOL odyssey is gutless, really need some torque.

come on HKS TURBO RB1

HKS turbo is tempting me as well, at the moment my priority mod is air suspension.

baboo, you are the hidden RB1 modder for QLD state.....

sounds like everyone eyes on the HKS kit. was told you have to pay for a HKS technician come over fm Japan for tuning in order to have warranty (told by a friend who installed that in Beijing). may be cheaper if he can do 3-4 RB1 in AUS altogether

Dan, can you let me know how much for a set of AirRunner when you ordering as i might go for a cheapo D2 set.

I think there is a shop in Perth that are HKS distributors. Don't know if they are HKS qualified techs, but they are really expensive and most of their cars are decked out in HKS gear..
When I was inquiring in another forum some time ago, I was told that the HKS kit was for the Absolute 200 bhp model and not our 160 bhp engine. Also the gains were did not justify the pricing.
Maybe you guys have got more up todate info and can enlighten me.

Andy, a set of AirRunner is AUD$5000 delivered. I might go with AirForce because they have 36 way damper adjustment and much cheaper as well

**baboo** · 09-02-2010 11:17 AM

GTAuto garage in QLD is HKS pro dealer now, so can tune HKS V-pro...etc

I think the turbo kit is for the 160HP model, only puts out 0.3bar though, rated 200hp after the kit. biggest gain is torque, you can always turn the boost up to gain more powar!!!

AirForce same as D2? Different brand marketing as D2 also comes with 36 way damper adjustment?

i'm happy with Ohlins but just not able over the fxxking curb where i park when lower too much. i have to catch up the Dan's VIP style

a set of airbag will do the job on my application.

actually not much to tune on HKS Turbo kit as the F-Con already pre-tuned on RB1 factory spec. HKS tech just need to check all installation and fine tune based on the conditions of the car and usage.

first dib on your ohlins!

I remember looking at TEIN, they have one with adjustable hydraulic style coilovers
