Edit: Ooo, making the chrome pillars black doesn't look too bad! :o

Edit 2: Any idea what roof spoiler that is? And also, is that a Mugen rear replica as it's not the whole bumper?

Euronoob

Another question about wheels:
How do you know what PCD will fit your car? I found a set of Advan RS's but they're 18"

09TSXTech

PCD on our cars (TSX and Accord Euro) is 5 x114.3.

Those wheel are wide and has very aggressive offset, 18 x9 ET 29. Based on the wheel offset calculator you can find online, those rims will stick out a further 45mm over stock rim. That's 1.77 inches for our US forum member.

Euronoob

Ohh ok, so if/when I look for rims, I gotta find 5x114.3?

Could you please explain the 'stick out a further 45mm ......' stuff for me in noober terms? Is that a bad thing orrrr? I do want wide rims with an aggressive offset :o

SteVe-inTSX

anyone know how would i be able to make my head and fog lights look like this? do i need a conversion kit?
im still kinda new at this.... just looking for some guidance on how to do things right and i love the look of his new light setup

Mr. NC

Ohhh laawwwwwd that roof spoiler is so sexy

The Russians have all the fun with the CU2

Euronoob

With the low beams, you only need the HID bulbs as our cars already have HIDs as stock lights. Go whatever temperature you like; 6000k, 8000k, etc. As for the foggies, you will need a ballast which means you gotta buy a kit for it. I bought my kit for $100 which included the install but if you want, you can grab them off eBay for a lot cheaper if you trust eBay. I got a warranty on my HIDs cause I know the guy. The bulbs costed me $50 but once again, you can grab them off eBay for $10-$30.
Hope this helps.

Euronoob

AGREED!! I want it

Euronoob

DUMPEDDDDDDD?!





... I wish.. I took a few quick shots when I went camping on the weekend and the rear just looks dumped cause of all the weight of the camping gear + friends and the front is just because it was a slant

ed_423

LOl!! freaken euro noob, you got me there. thought you really lowered your ride!


on a sidenote, now you know how kick ass it will look with your stock wheels dropped.

Euronoob

Hahah!! I wish I had the money

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of stockies but when I was driving, whereever there was a reflection, I was looking just to see the car looking like it was dumped hahah. Was admiring my own car

Mischa25

Euronoob

The spoiler looks different though? :o But yeah, I found that Accord on the Russian site defcon linked me to! I want that roof spoiler

ilovemangoes

I am jealous! Your mom must love you a lot. She gets you a brand new Accord/TSX while she drives an old camry. I wish I had a mom like that =(. Sick ride though!!!

Euronoob

Hahaha, thank you. Being a good boy pays off

Do you guys think this is legit?

So today I had some spare time on my hands and I decided to go debadge my 'Accord Euro' emblem off. After I got off the emblems, there was a lot of left over residue so I just picked at it to see if I could get the big chunks off to make it easier for me but just when I went to pick at it, my paint came off with it as well.
I did get my boot repainted a few months ago due to a hit and run so could it be a bad paint job? Anyways, I called the guy that painted my car up and I'm taking in my car tomorrow for him to have a look. I'll post up pictures when I can as my computer is stuffed up. Using my phone at the moment.

Drull

nice... very nice

ed_423

good luck eurobro. bad paint job is

Euronoob

I went in to get it looked at today and the guy is pretty annoyed himself. He said he'll repaint it for me in 1-2 weeks when he gets in new top of the line paint (some world paint, I forgot) so he won't be using the same paint that he did for the previous job.

Another note, anyone interested in these? Lol.

ed_423

lol wtf, +75 bucks for different HID temperatures??

Euronoob

This was done about 2 weeks ago. It's only temporarily stuck on with double sided tape (so it looks really cheap if you aren't looking front-on as you can see the badge sticking outwards lol) as I'm getting my front bumper and boot repainted due to problems.

Here are some pics:









And here's the front:



Also, anyone else's cap says "WARUNG"? Lol.



Yes, my car is dirty.. Haven't washed it in about.. 2 months due to rain everyweek Very bad, I know..

ed_423

what's that hanging on your ass? dolphin ?

Euronoob

Oh yeah, LOL. I forgot about that. My friend came back from Japan a few weeks ago and she got that so I had to put it there. Sorta represents my both myself and my car (we're fat.. well, I'm not actually fat but I eat a lot lol)

ed_423

oh, and nice red badge haha

I CU2

I think a black/white Honda emblem would suit your car more, but the red badge matches your red P plates .

DOPE !!! SICK !!!

how hard was it to do the 3M CF roof ?

Euronoob

Yeah, I would think so as well but I was unsure of how to do it so I just went with the JDM red badges. Also, just something to be different from all the other Euro's around in Melbourne lol.

Thanks man! The roof wasn't extremely difficult or anything, it just required a lot of time and patience to get it done without any bubbles. It took us about 3-4 hours to do due to hot weather which made the 3M extra sticky. Hardest part was the front of the top where it curves. Had to work on that for ages.

KillerG

How was the area around the sunroof euro?

Euronoob

That wasn't that hard. We cut around it with a razor blade leaving extra 3M. Then cut all 4 of the corners, as in just a slice.. sorta thing.. then folded them under the sunroof.

I'll do a pro diagram cause I have nothing better to do at work and also, I'd like to show off my art skills.

Edit: TAA DAAAA

ed_423

^we found ourselves a new artist

KillerG

well, its official, i give up on photoshop,

euronoob is now taking all requests, acurazine

Euronoob

LOL! Fanx guise ^^"

Whoa, my dad is getting my hopes up.. I got $800 in my bank and he's offered to pay the rest for my coils yesterday but I sorta pissed him off this morning so don't know if he still is or not.. Gotta suck up now.....

ed_423

^ hurry, do something nice!

Euronoob

Hahah, hard to as I've been working with him lately and he pms' a lot at work and since I'm always in the office with him, doing stuff for him, I get most of the shit.

Anyways, anyone got any experience/reviews/opinions on BC coils? Some WRX owners who've had BC's on their ride say it leaks and crap.

Quote from an Aus user:

"I had a wrx previous to my civic & euro.
Had many wrx members run BC coilovers.
IMO, they arent that good. They leak & become very noisey within the first year.
That was a known issue.
My mate had them in his wrx bought from wholesalesuspension penrith.
Returned them back within the month.:

ed_423

^ronald has them on for the tsx, pm him

Euronoob

Ahh alright, I'll give him a pm in a sec.

Also, I have a question about my SRI. The dude that installed/bought it for me only had the SRI by itself, there was no extended pipe to make it into a CAI so my question is, is it still possible for me to make my intake into a CAI? Can I just go buy a pipe to make it fit or do they actually sell the extra pipe somewhere?

ed_423

what brand do you have again? injen right? (sorry i forgot)

if so, try to see if they sell just the 2nd pipe. all you need is the second pipe and a cuplet to connect the shorter pipe to the longer pipe. oh and extra mount, the rubber one with the washer and 2 nuts. forgot what it's called

Euronoob

Any ideas on what the longer pipe would be called or any key words to make the search more specific/easier? I have a Takeda SRI.

Mr. NC

So tell me...is Victoria truly the place to be?

Nice mods thus far good sir

Euronoob

Hahah, cheers Nate! If you like going through 4 seasons in 1 day, then for sure Victoria is the place to be! I just washed my car properly after about 2 months of not touching it due to the bad weather and it only lasted 1 day... It started pouring again out of no where the next day

Do you guys reckon diamond mesh will look ugly for the mesh at the bottom of our grille? I can't find any other mesh patterns here in Australia! They only have diamond mesh which I don't really like.. But I also don't like the stock plastic crap.. Any ideas?
