2005 Honda Accord Euro w/ FULL MUGEN KIT

Hi everybody.
My name is steve and I own a 2005 Honda Accord Euro [TSX] in graphite.
I'm from Sydney Australia and have been lurking around both here and TSXCLUB.COM for a while now so decided to start a thread and post some pics of my pride and joy.

It's recently been fitted with the full mugen bodykit. Everything else is pretty much stock. gotta get some new rims and dump it....(next things on the list)

So enjoy the pics!

I got the panelshop to spray it blue pearl. They did it when they had my car and when my bodykit had to be sprayed and fitted. I'm going for a chrome/blue theme in the engine bay. Soon to get cusco front strut and going to electroplate the intake manifold and the valve cover in chrome.

Looks very nice, welcome to the Forum. From another CG owner

What tire size are you running? Is it stock?

hmm...the mugen grill looks to have a more box-like cutout than i remember, is this because its a CL9?

btw, love the valve cover and fuse box


whats with the "grounding kit"?

Its running stock 17" rims


xizor
lol could not agree with you more. needs to be dumped....


AcuraEnvisioned
excellent choice on the CG! Here in australia, so many CG's around though....cuz with nighthawk black, you get an awful cream interior and i think the reason why there are a lot ofCG's around is cuz its the cloeset thing to black....with black interior.


kaliraver69
yeah i cant be bothered buying a JDM dipstick so im just gonna spray it black


madmanmax3000
hmm not sure but there are 2 types of mugen grilles.....the one with full front bar replacement and just the grille replacement that uses the stock front bar. mines the full replacement so yeah....dont know if its because its a CL9 or not but i cant see why this should be a factor cuz CL9 and CL7 has the same chassis....

the "grounding kit" is there purely for rice. lol. it claims to give u better petrol consumption, clearer/crisper sounds and beter throttle response as well as other things....i havent fully used all the grounding wires yet cuz i cant be bothered atm....and havent noticed much of fuel consumption cuz i hit redline and VTEC quite a bit!

hey stephen - i still recon you should go for suspension first then leave the wheels untill the tyres wear out. I think the standard 17's actually go with the kit nicely and with a drop they'd defintiely look the part - what do u recon?

haha yea was here before ozhonda actually.

i seriously recon you should go with the teins - im loving mine

then while your saving up for rims i might be able to convince you to get some super light weight forged 17's or 18's (then i can come steel them)

Beautiful! But yes, you need to drop it like its hot! The Mugen kit is the hottest kit made yet and is somewhat of a waiste without the car being lowered. Love the kit!

yea the fitment was top notch ay, no flaws at all.

i just did an image search for RAYS 57pro - if you get those i will personally drive down to sydney to shake your hand hahaha. I really like the style of em.

i guess you just have to decide whether you want a showy racer sorta look or a showy pimp sorta look.

I'm not huge fan of the Mugen kit, but it looks good on your car. Maybe it's the darker color that does it. A nice drop would definitely tighten up the package.
