guys i got my knfilter from ebay, just search kn filters and look at who doesnt overcharge for shipping. I msged one of the sellers and said he cud order it in for me. then i combine postaged it for $5 extra with my mates civic's filter and we got it for like just under $60 each.

i agree with the comment about the sound. im not sure if its a placebo effect but i definitely noticed a better sound and slightly better throttle response with the filter. best buy ever.

however recently my fuel economy has gone from 10 to 11.5, cud be cuase im doing more city driving and havent gottent my 20k km service tho. (already on 25k!). I dont think its related to the filter, more like my driving style, makes u wanna rev harder cuase the engine doesnt sound "like its suffocating"

btw how do you clean these things? box came with no instructions, friend said you gotta use this special oil/liquid?!? i thought that cant be right
and how often are you meant to clean them?

btw nester, sexy ride mate. My kit could arrive any slower...currently on a boat somewhere in the ocean T.T gunna take a few weeks to get here

With the fogs, theyre still stock right? with the arctic blue overlays you added, do you still get a yellowy tinge? i wanted to chagne mine cause i dont like the yellow bulbs conflicting with my white headlights.
which is easier, adding overlays (do you need to bake it?) or changing to different bulbs?

thanks mate, my fogs are 8000K HID's, so the blue overlays make no difference whats so ever.

Changing the bulb will be the cheaper option and make a bigger difference. The overlays do not really change the color of the light because they are designed to let a certain percentage of light out.

I did not need to bake them they simply just apply to the top of the fog lens.

that grill is looking hotter and hotter each time you post it up leo,
i saw a crystal black version of this grill the other day, and it made me want to get it even more,
still considering between this and the mugen grill.

correct me if i'm wrong,

but andrew (nester jester), i think your car is advertising for paul's successfully selling type S kit,
http://www.bodykitskingdom.com.au/euro-8th.htm

those photos of your car don't look as good as the ones you took and just posted up, but DAYUM it looks hot either way.

oh and i noticed there's a new clickable option next to the type S kit,
and yes, it says MUGEN STYLE KIT!!!
http://www.bodykitskingdom.com.au/acrd.htm
so i am guessing paul is going to start making mugen style replica's, though he hasn't finished advertising on his website yet, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIS WORK.

did a DIY paint job via 11oz aerosol spray can with matching color code

did the eye lids and lower part of the grill. upper grill is still wrapped in cf vinyl

it still needs to be wet sanded, polished and buffed to make it nice and shiny

hahah they are not too bad they are only 35W and pretty much purely cosmetic. Cant drive around with foggies on in good weather.

My low beams are 6000k HID's.

my girlfriend just wanted to test out her photography skills on my car,

nothing special at the moment, stock as a rock...
so might as well post up some of her work since i've never posted up a picture of my car.






nothing compared to andrew's car

hey nester: how did you go about changing the low beams to 6000k? (I assume the stock ones are in a lower range) Is it just a simple plug and play swap with aftermarket 6000k globes? cheers, very sweeet looking bodykit you got

35W are still bright! haha my 6000k HID Low beams are 35W too and they are awesome at night :P. Yeah gay fog light law...i think its like $45 if you get busted with them on

I'm assuming by "6000k globes" you meant HIDs. If so, the way I did it took a bit of effort. I took down the entire bumper just to hid the ballasts (in case coppers pulled me over saying it's illegal etc etc). I also drilled some a hole in each of the low beam housing (the black weatherproof cover) to feed the HID wiring through. I duct taped the hole down to prevent any thing going in. It was pretty straight forward to install the HIDs if you know what you're doing...it's pretty much "plug and play" Hope this helps.

He said he's going to get some in soon but hasn't given me an exact date. He still has Type S stock though Do you prefer the Mugen over the Type S? If so this is what it looks like if you haven't already seen:

Might cost a bit more coz its Polypropylene, which is a bit more durable than Type S's Polyurethane. That's my assumption anyway. Something to consider in the future Simon

So far so good mate. Nothing wrong with stock :P....n P platers pride ! ...I'll get a few shots of my very stock euro too soon . But I really want to do something to it before I post up any good photo though hehe.

Going off topic - Has anyone considered changing their high beam bulb to a white bulb (but blue housing) - something like http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2X-Xenon-Whit...ht_2964wt_1137. They're not really "white"...more greeny in the dark for some reason. They're also not that bright coz my HID kit pretty much eats it up :P. Anyways the reason I suggest this is coz it "LOOKS" pretty awesome imo, because of the blue tinge. I could post a pic up of it if you guys want

oh what I meant .. is that I already got factory HID low beam, but I think they must be in the standard range of 4300k. I am looking into changing it to the 6000k range, giving it more of blue tint, that may match my LED driving lights better too.. but not sure how to do it as I cannot see any ballasts lying around. So not sure if I can just change to a 6000k HID globe just by switching the globe itself..... has anyone else consider this switch? (the factory manual highly recommends that I do not change the HID globe myself... hahahaha)
