[CL9] Just bought one !!! and looking at a few mods

[TheSaint]

im running the Civic Fn2 Type-R 18" wheels on mine (my euro is almost identical to yours)
and they fit and look amazing

the varex system is illegal because its "a valve that can change the exhaust flow and sound"
which is stupid because some high end cars come with similar systems from standard

to be honest i wouldnt bother with the exhaust - the stock system flows and sounds perfect
i would be more worried about the headers - they are a big restriction
the intake makes a nice sound anyway - especially when you hit vtec =)

comptech icebox is great value for money mod - not sure if i would pay somebody to fit it though its pretty easy
you can buy the intake direct from CT-E ...

and the swaybar can be bought direct from ultra-racing MY or AU - this is also an easy mod to fit
(if you go above 20-22mm you will also need end links as the standard ones start to snap at this point)

i have dealt with both companies and purchased a few items here and there from them
both are very easy to deal with and posted out the products fairly quickly =)

another small mod i have is the Type-R style gear knob - fits well and blends in with the car and is miles better than the standard one

skunk2 also make one thats similar to the Type-R style - be careful not to buy the cheap fake ebay ones tho as they are complete crap

Excellent post TheSaint!

one thing i forgot to mention that you can do when you get to the more expensive mods
is the intake manifold - you can bolt on the Civic Fn2-R intake manifold (RRC) for a descent gain
again skunk2 make a nice unit as well - both can be pricey and they are a bit of a pain to fit
usually people put in the hondata intake manifold gasket and the USDM V6 throttle body to get the most out of this mod

RRC manifold

cheers saint.. btw would you be able to post a pic of your car would love to see how the wheels sit on it. will be looking at the mid range mods a bit down the road as i need to save up..

also is there an update software that i can find for the navi ?

oh btw what is the cheapest way to get some decent bass in this? does anyone know how powerful the stock amp is ? (atm music sounds so flat even with bass on full )

ithink ill be doing the sway bars after the wheels and also have you done your grill?

the speakers on the rear doors

they're fake, theres no speakers in there

the speakers on the rear doors

they're fake, theres no speakers in there

yah figured that out.. and i would need a 6channel amp to get some on there without sacrificing the parcel shelf speakers..

does anyone know whether ill be able to run a 4channel amp to front and parcel shelf and run the speakers in the backdoor with the stock headunit's
