waaasobe

so i got he itch to do something today





i don't know how you guys do this stuff in your driveways

Vinny_P

Looks good man. Where did you get the cleared headlights? I did some baking at the end of summer to clear mine.

Did you throw in some VLED switchbacks?

I am in the milton area but have my Type S lip sitting in my basement...if you know of anywhere that can paint and install the kit let me know. Since the kit is for a 09,10 ill have to get someone to cut around the fogs.

If you are grabbing anymore items for your car I highly recommend ordering off of eBay and forwarding them through Kinekpoints to buffalo - most eBay sellers ship for free in the US, and it's a good way to get away from the duties.

Anyways, Good luck with your build.

Maybe see you at a meet with LEXX in the summer.

Very nice.

I'm new to the forums but, looks like I finally found a second GTA CU2 owner on here :P Car is looking good! How's the ride with the S-Techs? Have they lowered themselves anymore after settling in?

xtcnrice

Ugh I'm such a noob, I can't seem to find the edit button for my post (maybe it's because of a 4-post count?).

Have you scraped or bottomed out on GTA roads with the S-Techs?

TWENTYNINE

The amount of drop you get form springs won't be an issue on majority of the roads in GTA. However, when the springs do get beat up after maybe 2 years, you'll be sitting slightly lower. As always though, for me when driving with a lowered car, just be cautious around ramps and angle your car accordingly. I'm dropped on BC Coils (not slammed simply lowered), and majority of roads and ramps are still fine for me. With that being said, I have to be extra careful around ramps since I have scraped my Vibrant resonator twice before.

xtcnrice

Hey 29, thanks for the response! I just checked out your thread and your car looks amazing! About the drop that you mentioned though, do you know how many inches you're dropped (or inches from the ground) to achieve no scraping in the GTA? I'm thinking of getting Tein SS when I've decided on rims (and when this snow stops falling ).

waaasobe

i bought my head lights off ebay the only issue i have it that the projectors are misaligned so i have to try and adjust them but i have literally no clue what I'm doing in that regard.

no i just ended up going with some amber bulbs, i can't afford the switchbacks and i feel like adding resistors and such is just too time consuming for me at the moment.

i know some guys in st Catharine's that do some good work they repainted my door and number and i honestly can't tell the difference. i can give you their contact info if you'd like. I'm not getting mine painted till the spring/ summer. i was planning on doing the instal myself i could give you a hand when it comes to the time. I'm not to far from you I'm in georgetown.

i just looked that up thats unreal man thanks for the advice shipping is murdering me at the moment !

but ya ill deff be seeing you around this year buddy !

welcome to the forum pal ! there are a few of us creeping around in the gta lol. honestly they ride great the drop is about 1.5 inches. it suits my needs, i haven't scraped on anything. the only thing with coil overs is you have to keep them clean especially in the winter. you don't want those things jamming up on you or anything. what wheels are you planning on getting ?

xtcnrice

Thanks man! I guess I'm not very original; I see many of the CU2 owners on here with F14s and they look pretty good with a nice drop. I'm debating between Tein S-Tech and Tein SS. I'm thinking SS so that when I put on winters I can raise the car up a bit as well so I won't get stuck in snow. I also hear how the stock struts give out easier when dropped on springs, and that it's a better "investment" to get coils immediately.

waaasobe

those are nice looking wheels. you should get a build thread going ! well struts are made to take a beating so ill see what happens when the time comes. good luck with your build though !

haydencbp

looking good sir

waaasobe

yea so it snowed today

waaasobe

so i posted the ebay link to this the other day annd i ended up buying one. its pretty decent quality and it shipped real fast and 60$ you can't really go wrong. oh and this is the pic form the add. haven't taken the pic of mine but, its exactly the same lol.

DynamicJ32

Nice!

Decklid or roof spoiler?

808CU2

Nice progress on the build, thinkin about getting me a decklid lip also.! Looking forward to more pics.

waaasobe

waaasobe

i decided to do some plastidipping today. its safe to say I'm pleased.

FranzTL

Hey where did you get the headlights from??

rawger

Dude what happened? No shots with the rims?!

waaasobe

i bought them off ebay. just look up acura cu2 headlights they should be there.

I'm just gunna do a big reveal for the rims when they're all mounted. all in due time my friend !
but as a taste i just bought a set of these

rawger

Nice! Definitely interested to see what it looks like when it's on, those rims look dope!

waaasobe

mounting these was such a pain but, it ended up working out lol.

rawger

Looking clean man! You need to take some more shots when it's sunny outside lol.

waaasobe

thanks man, up in the great white north were not getting to much sun so were gunna have to wait a little for these sunny shots. thanks again man !

rawger

Haha that's true. At least get an ass shot, like the one where you car was snowed in! Lol.

xtcnrice

btw nice car

waaasobe

it snowed again today i can do repeats. once this beast is clean and the sun is out ill get a nice photo shot going.

xtcnrice

lol good thing I didn't drive into work today... heard it was terrible. Heard people forgot how to drive in the snow especially on the dvp

waaasobe

people forget to drive over nothing it boggles my mind.

just doing a bit of ghetto test fitting, hope fully i should have all of this tuff painted soon.

Vinny_P

Looking good man, I am getting mine painted and installed May 9th.

You decide on timing yet?

xtcnrice

Your ride is really coming along!

waaasobe

thanks buddy I'm getting mine done as we speak so ill post some pic soon !

opboarding

Great progress. Can't believe it still snows this late up there. I never realized how hard the rest of the country has it for outside activities until I joined this forum. Summer should bring some great pictures!

V-tecAc

Hey man, I was wondering how you like those S-tecs. And are you running stock struts and how is the ride?

waaasobe

thanks man, I'm slowly making moves. we had an especially brutal winter this year I'm just glad its over. now i just gotta wait for spring to end so we can finally star seeing some solid sunshine.

yea I'm running stock struts the ride is pretty much the same, its a bit stiffer but nothing really noticeable. i like them quite a bit, they are good during the winter i have had no issues with them so far.

waaasobe

got the type s lip and deck lid spoiler painted and installed, and i also installed some led interior lights

Vinny_P

Looks good man...when did you switch your license plate mount?

Did you shop do the install or just paint?

UTAH TSX

I like the plate how you mounted it looks so much better than stock, looking good nothing like a clean black car
