odyssey suspension upgrade

[Mobil1]

hi snugs,

if you got Malaysian freinds willing to carry over for you go get UltraRacing bars. In terms of price, you dont really need to scout much as they're all same price quoted by the manufacturer unless you have someone who owns a shop and they willing to cut their margin. Full set comes in 7 parts. You'd need to spend about AUD700. go cehck out their web site they've got photos of what goes where. They won't give you much discount for buying full set anyway so you dont really lose much even if you buy bit by bit.

Thanks Mobil1.

I've got a friend in freight shipping... might see if he can freight it to me (FOC preferably).

A friend told me the car was sold to somebody here in Perth. He said he saw it on the back of a transport truck here.

It's definitely not a family car no more... I just want a litte bit more grunt but would still prefer to be able to use it as per intended... van load of bickering kiddies in the back. I still think a smallish supercharger would suit if only there were space "AND" I win Powerball tonight.

Not hardcore... same situation as everyone else... the boss limits modding... but... safety comes first.. I can argue that pulling power for an RB1 is "safety related".

I've come from a Forester... and did all the upgraded turbo, suspension, piggyback ecu, etc... and I've pretty much gotten it out of my system... especially when it comes time to return to stock to sell.

Malaysian owners not supercharging... just Unichipping their Absolutes... http://www.myodyssey.com.my/forum/vi...1af23a6464bfe9

You can chip our the 160bhp motor, but the gains will not be much. What I was told was chipping (unichip ver Q) with cat back exhaust and pod filter would gain u abt 15 bhp. Considering the cost of about 3-4 k for the set up and the availability of unichip tuners make it hard to justify spending that amount.

i was told the HKS turbo kit bolt on kit with pre-tuned F-Con, we would have to worry abt gearbox and Comptech SC is much better on gearbox but need to be tuned or off the road for some time sending ECU to US for re-flashing. both abt the same price...

[snug_gles]

I'd say that chipping would be the best bet except that the only previous Unichip tuner I remember a few years back was arrested for something (escapes me as it was about 2~3yrs ago). I think there's one tuner left in Perth... gotta go do some digging.

Can't go Comptech... need to have car on the road... HKS... I'm already scared about the price let alone my gearbox.

Why can't they make it easier for us?!?!?!

The only ppl that advertise unichip tunning in Perth that I can find is some 4wd company

http://www.armadale4wd.com.au/products/unichip.htm

but they tune freaking 4WD's not sure if they know how to tune an Odyssey??????

[snug_gles]

Tim Slako @ West Racing in Ozzie Park.... but I've only ever read about the Subi's that go there for tuning. Unichips are not very popular nowadays anyway. However... having said that... I'm gonna go check out the price for it and see if it's worth it. I think I'd better have the car in hand first. hehehe... getting a bit ahead of myself.

Mobil1 - Can't believe that the Australian distributor sells the full 7 piece Ultra-Racing braces and bars for around AUD$1700 + delivery to Perth!!! I'm gonna go ask my friend to check out the price locally in Malaysia. Pricing if anyone is interested....
