odyssey suspension upgrade

i don't blame UR Aust as need to make money when running business. its good you have contact locally and its a bonus!!

keep in mind the SC and Turbo is a mild tuning only focusing on mid-range torque instead of high-end horsepower. have a friend running his Turbo RB1 with stock gearbox oil cooler in China for almost 3 yrs without any issues. i think regular maintenance is the main part......

AusAccord... agreed... I'll probably get a few bits from them first and perhaps get the others as I go on holidays with the family.

As for SC and turbo... that's all I'm looking at... torque... not looking for horsepower... and regular maintenance... definitely!!!

Mate, can u keep me updated with the unichip thing. Depending on cost and the outcome of my exhaust install, I might want to add K&N apollo kit and tune the car.

No worries Evolution... I'm sure others would want to know as well... IF there is any improvement at a reasonable cost.

Anyone out there who knows any places who can do coilover & swaybar installation for a good price around Melbourne (apart from Suspension City)?

Brought my car in to SusCity 2 months ago with my swaybars and told them I got coilovers coming in too and they told me better to come back when I have everything. So I finally got all my stuff ready (coilovers,bars,camber kit, and time) and called them last Wednesday and was told they're flat out and to call back this Monday. Did that and they said to call back Wednesday(today). Did that again and was told they don't want to do my car because they havent got time to dick around with the trims as apparently they needed to be removed entirely. I told them some of the bros here could do it only by removing the cupholder panel and use extended wrench BY THEMSELVES. He said...well how they gonna put back the nuts?. Yeah whatever, I don't know coz I'm not a mechanic. I'll need to remove the trims myself and only then will they have a look at it if they wanna do it.

Anyway there's my story, no Suspension City for me even though they've been highly recommended. Not really impressed (thought John was polite) as been told to come back & call back only to be refused in the end but I guess maybe they're just flat-out... Ohwell can any bros here please recommend similar places in Melbourne?

You can go to Racing Project at nunawading, ask for Nelson, he can do anything but you have to go there to ask for a correct quote. Just tell him you know him from Team Agentz. He used to do most of our cars.

**Mobil1** · 03-09-2010 10:06 PM

Bro Dan, thanks alot you are right he can really do anything WTF...lol.

anyway not like anyone is using UR here but if you are just so you know the triangle piece couldnt go into my car because the exhaust well was alot narrower so one of the edges couldnt reach the well. apparently "pre-facelift" has a wider well and therefore it should fit. so its up for sale if anyone wants it.

**Atjo** · 03-09-2010 10:24 PM

So what stuff you're installing & how much did he charge you?

**Mobil1** · 04-09-2010 12:09 AM

Just went and installed the GT-Wagon and the UR bars thats all. I asked him how much should I lower and he said he will decide for me wtf?? SO yeah the pic below is how much he lowered. Bro, if come out of Wilson parking have to use little lonsdale exit, Lonsdale exit will scrap like f.

anyway comfort wise surprisingly still quite alright not as rough and bumpy as i thought, maybe b/c i'm still on stock wheels (haven't had feedback from rear passengers yet). Handling and cornering is 520x more confident now. Just whack it, don't need to worry if can finish the turn or not. Whole car quite stiff maybe because of the bars too.

He said my rear damper is 26lvl adjustable and he put it on 15, but I check online it says its only 16lvl so yeah alittle confusing there.

And also I don't know why he negative camber for me, I told him I wanted straight. He said something about coming back to correct when I have my rims (hard to understand him) or somewhere along those lines.

anyway here are some crap as hell pics taken from my BB. And we're expecting some stupid weather this weekend so no chance of taking day shots.

all in all for a virgin car, I'm quite satisfied.

How many UR bars were installed? You need to do alignment after this and you can ask them to adjust the camber back to -1. Bear in mind that you need to take of the rear suspension if you need to adjust the damper, the front one is ok. Nice height or maybe need to lower it a bit more

becareful that lower arm bar might scrapped on speed hump.
