Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting your mesh Hondo but I can't seem to find anything. I type in mesh in eBay and I can all this random ugly crap.

Btw guys, I'm asking once again because I'm keen on doing this if it's possible. Do you think the Acura TSX (left hand drive) steering wheel will fit into Accord Euro (right hand drive)? I'd be using my own buttons and all but just the fact that it's still 'different' even though Acura and Honda are the same thing..

Arrived yesterday night! Hopefully they'll be installed sometime next week as I need my cousin's help to do a DIY.

Man, they look nice, and they come with top mounts, too. I'd be curious to see how much lighter they are than the stock dampers. Have fun!

Hahah, trying to get there Ed! Next on the list, exhaust!!


Btw guys, do our cars have automatic headlight adjusters or something? Because I got some parts with the coilovers where I have to put them on if we do otherwise it'll screw up or something? I couldn't really understand the guy and I didn't want to keep asking him.. Damn communication problems!

^ Euronoob, are those Modulo side skirts and rear bumper boxes up there on post #89, if so, then we will have the same setup.

Check with the dealer, but I believe your Euro Luxury HID comes with automatic beam height adjustment.

Your right, Sir
You have to adjust again after lowering the car. I got only Springs and my lights were much to high after having the springs installed. I went to the dealer and he make the height adjustment for the lower vehicle. But not everyone I know who has lowered his car, have to do that,

:S Damn.. hopefully we know how to do that because I don't want to stuff anything up lol. They gave us some pieces of metal.. like clips and crap if our cars have the automatic headlight adjusters? I'll see on Sunday!

I've heard from other Honda owners (DC2R, DC5 etc) that they ARE very stiff? Wonder how stiff they actually mean..

And yes, can't you lower the damper settings? I'll see for myself when I get them installed! Can't wait I'm still young.. I don't think I'd mind a stiff ride.

Hahah, mine does too! He questions me why do I need to modify the car.. why do I have to be into sports cars etc but he asked if I needed a hand on the day hahah.. When he's in a bad mood and I do something wrong, he brings up my car.. says all I think about is my car and going out blah blah blah.

Will be another 305830458 years... because I can't afford rims LOL. But hopefully in the next few months, I'll have more things done to it.. minus the rims

And here's a quick iPhone pic I took earlier today for a member on another forum.



And @ICU2, I got it with a deal but when I worked it out, the rear went from $900 to $720... Still expensive as but better than no discount right?

Hahah, this was 2 months of my pay Now I'm broke again.... starting over, saving up for an exhaust now. Still trying to decide whether to go a full exhaust ($1,000+) or just two Magnaflow mufflers ($200-$400) and thanks

FINALLY, COILS ARE INSTALLED! I can now feel every single bump on the roads.. I don't really mind it, but my passengers will hahaha. Going to leave the settings in the middle at this stage, wait 2-3 weeks then I'll start adjusting.

^ That is low.

Overall, you have a very nice package Euronoob. Keep up the good work. Don't bother with the full exhaust as it does not give any performance gain unless you supercharged the engine. That's the reason I installed the Magnaflow 4" tips on mine as the stock muffler is perfectly fine and all the sound I needed comes from the CTE Icebox, or Takeda in your case.
