Arrow Honda Accord CU3 CU2 Europe 2008 - Sunny Lisbon

Hello everyone. :good:

My name is Ricardo and i am from Portugal - sunny Lisbon.
I own a Honda Accord CU2 since 06/2008 (when the 1st ones came out). One of the local Honda dealers had a typo and i was able to get the car for 29k instead of the 49 priced at that time.
Before that i had ITR B18c. I miss that vtec kick....


Car Specs:
- Accord CU2 2008 IDtec 150hp / 350nm
- 17 Inch - 225/50/17



Modification done:
1. Non-GPS to GPS Radio (got the Head unit from a scrapyard in ebay and did the cabling myself - nightmare)
2. Front doors + rear doors + Trunk - Dynamat
3. Front door speakers + rear door speakers + trunk spearks upgrade to Focal (6 in total)
4. New 8 inch subwoofer from JBL
5. Audison 10 channel DSP + Amp



Recent orders and material already in the garage to be mounted

1. AEZ Crest Dark 19x8 ET50 - Arrived. In the garage to mount
2. Tyres (not decided) - Need urgent help to order them - Check Bellow
a) 225/40-r19 ? or....
b) 235/40-r19 ? or....
c) 235/35-r19 ? or....
???????????????????


2. Tein Flex Z 2016 Coils - 16 levels of damp aside from the usual height configuration - arrived - to be mounted. No plans to use camber kit or go lower than 35mm, otherwise i cant get in my building garage + office garage.


3. TSS Tuning dual Exhaust - Arrived - Mounted



4. Trunk small Lip. Ordered. Not arrived. Still requires glue Fixing + Painting.



5. Leather Wheel - Done.


6. Breaking. - Pending- I've seen so many sizes here that i'm already confused what size to buy. Should i get EBC?


7. Full Car Re-light. Pending. Still need to investigate


8. Others:
a). Sport Pedals - Arrived - pending mounting
b). Led reflectors - Arrived - pending mounting
c). Honda Vynil for brake calipers - Arrived - pending mounting


And if anyone comes to lisbon... let me know and lets get a drinks! :crazy

Nice car! Very cool photos.

How come red line is at ~4.5K? USA did not get this engine option - is this the 2.0 Liter?
