let's see this, a programmable ECU and an RRC IM

 

what do you guys think of this? sounds a little to ricey for the ilx, but I'm wondering if I can mix in some resonators to deepen the tone:

 

some more inspiration:

 

 

yea, that's what I thought. To be honest, this engine sounds like ass -- and it's not thanks to o that integrated header. I'm hoping CT-Engineering will figure out an elegant solution via a highly resonated muffler. The more I try to play around with this car, the more I realize I'm stuck, I tried looking at the springs to get them modified and it looks like I can touch those since they different from what's used in the civic....I'll need coilovers in order to circumvent that and I don't want to shell out that kind of money just yet (especially if I'm going to be a guinea pig).

 

Hmm, that Ronjon edition looks pretty good. Any shots of the rear? Does their kit address the hidden exhaust issue?

 

it's just a concept at this point -- there's no back, unfortunately.

 

How many of your parts that you've found would fit on the 2.0 AT? I'd like to look at exhaust and the air intake. I'm a big fan of the K&N typhoon you used, but I'd like to make sure that it will fit on the AT...

 

FYI, this is on hold until I get resolve on the issues I'm having with the car.

 

Well how bout some pictures on a Friday afternoon for inspiration and to make you forget all those little things that go bump in your ILX.

Is that blue? Anyway, Borla is making a cat-back for the 2012 civic ex, which, if you don't know, has the same hidden exhaust. If they develop an aesthetically pleasing means of tackling the tip issue, then I'll go ahead an get an exhaust on this car.

 

That looks great.

 

This car really does look sweet from front, front 3/4 and side. Why did they f up the back so much

Uh oh, issues already? What kind? Rattles, weatherstrip fading?
I've read others having these issues ALREADY!

 

What!? Your ilx has nav!? They told me the 6speed 2.4l ilx's didnt come with them so i just went ahead Nd bought my white one...

Oh and tein is going to be making some tein street and sport coilovers for the 2012 civic si which is completely compatible with our ilx's.

 

BC, Redshift, K-sport, and Megan all have coilovers available for the car. I'm getting a $1500 check for some consulting work I did which will help revive this thread. Winter being on the horizon doesn't help with my endeavor, though.

 

The rear looks good with the aero parts. I posted a pic in the accessories thread.

No rattles, weatherstipping fading was probably caused by the dealer's detailer. It looks like someone tried to buff near the trim and ruined it.

 

no navi on my car...but I get turn by turn navi via bluetooth phone and/or supplemental Garmin GPS.

 

What do you all think of this exhaust:


I think it's appropriate for the ilx given it's deep tone.

 

Very nice sound XD

Just picked mine up

 

I can't wait to get the rear sway bar on this car. I feel like the suspension isn't too soft, but rather the car could benefit from a little less sway when cutting lanes / easing into corners. I'm waiting for a vendor to get back to me on pricing and I'm going to be ordering a new sway bar on this car! Can't wait to post about how GREAT this car is.

 

Can't wait for the mods to start!

 

well this is just great

The rsb is on back-order until December.

 

Sounds great man, car looks awesome....cleared corners would really change the car's look for the better! What rims are you looking at....if any?

 

gold te37's...I want to do the black and gold treatment

 

Trying to ask/answer that same question in the accessories thread...man we need some organization up in hurr...

 

^you were asking which wheels to get, I can't make that decision for you. Haha, it's such a subjective thing.

 

Completely subjective just wanted know what others thought looked good. In the process, maybe we can discuss and make fun of each others tastes...

 

I'll post some ideas once tirerack has the ilx on their site.

 

On Tirerack

 

They have had the ILX on Tirerack for since I got mine in June but their car colours look terrible on my laptop.

 

Thanks all for letting me know....let the wheel shopping begin.

 

make us 2g tsx guys proud, sandpaper.

 

you buyin rims dawg?

im assuming youre gonna hook it up on them teins too! enkei has new wheels hitting sema very soon

 

well, what size are u leaning toward, 18" or 19"? We have a variety of wheels to choose from, and some amazing finishes. Not to mention the fitments exclusive to Honda and Acura vehicles. Give me a call, nothing to lose and much to gain!

Rondy.

 

Oh shit sugar and powder doin it up big!

 

Spdandpwr hope you made it out of Sandy all right.

Here's some inspiration for your build:



"At the heart of the Civic-based model is an upgraded 2.4-liter gasoline unit, which with the help of a supercharger kit from CT Engineering and an ECU tune with Hondata’s FlashPro, now produces 250-horsepower

The FWD model is also fitted with a prototype SP Elite exhaust from Greddy as well as aero components from the Acura Genuine Accessories lineup, 19-inch Volk G25 wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero tires and Tein Street Advance coilovers."

Pure sex.

 

Minus the decals, looks great.

 

Let me know how this goes. I'm very much considering the same thing.

 

Wow...this car has potential. Nice!

 

will do! the bar was out of stock, but looks to be restocked soon!
