i find that i get in trouble with halos and such; POPO no likey/

so I have them connected to a remote that has a few different settings like strobe and such. and I only use them when parked.

PyroDave

if you wanna switch foglight assemblies cause you get in trouble too much, lemme know! i'd love those fogs hahaha

opboarding

^ you'd make them strobe blue to match all your other fancy blue lights, yeah?

drivedata

he'd just plastidip them

PyroDave

I agree with OP because dinosaur.

Fuck drive because wrong data

ok pyro/



i installed the RV6 downpipe on Saturday. Install is straightforward. done before/

then i installed the TEIN SS. I bought a used set and bought all new tophats from DCH Acura.

I set the front at the recommended 1.20 and #6 on the knob
Rear recommended is 1.0. prev owner had set about 1.6.....but I went with 1.2 to start thinking the wagon has a bit more weight in the back....so 1.20 and #6 on the knob.

no pics of install here as this has done a gabillion times; nothing new.

i havent touched the camber or anything but it rides AWESOME. as nice as stock. from inside you would not know its lowered. until i try to go into my driveway and i scrape the wiper in the front. and a bit of road noise at 80MPH.

i have a set of pics and will post more later but here is one,,,,

PyroDave

Looks great, I think it needs a spacer for at least the rear tho, a little too sunken

robpp

Its perfect for me. Could care less about STANCE AND SUCH.

not trying to win a show LOL just get to work everyday.

I have

robpp

iTrader: (2)

Woohoo

I installed the SPC rear chamber kit, removed the mud flaps, and raised the front Tein to 1.4 kept rear at 1.2. That makes front and rear both .2 higher than the recommended. I was able to get out the driveway without scraping at all. I still have damping set at 6 all around. VERY STOCK LIKE.

This minute I am sitting at "STEER AND STOP SHOP" getting an alignment.
Place came highly recommended by CORSPORT so am comfortable.

Woot

Today I had the Vibrant reso that is recommended with the RV6 installed today.

AA Muffler and Brake. See Scott.

$50 /



Not too much left in the mod box. but it coincides with a depleted mod budget......need to see what we get for bonus in NOV.

PPower

I agree. It looks absolutely amazing. I so love those wheels. The rears need a 10mm spacer, but its not nearly as quick and easy since you have to take off the brakes to do it. Nothing like my M3 where you just take the wheel off, put on the spacer and put in extended studs if necessary. Then once the spacers are in, it needs a fender roll. I haven't touched that yet on mine either because of all of that.

Acura_Dude

Soooo nice...!

Honda_boy83

Love it!

robpp

iTrader: (2)

have fun with yours. mine ride height and wheel is done except for the comments

could care less about rolling fenders STANCE etc.

I have been to all the local TUNER MEETS and i get nothing but compliments.
maybe 400 cars at the meet......about 5-10 are STANCED as they call it/


IMO its a magazine thing. also maybe it works in a place like scali with the nice roads and no weather to deal with......or PHX. come drive that stanced shit over here in the real world and see what happens/

PPower

Sorry, I didn't mean it in a negative way. I merely meant to point out to others that it isn't just as simple as slapping on a spacer to get the figment like the fronts. I wish that Acura would have made them from the factory with the "flushness" equal front and back.

robpp

iTrader: (2)

I don't mind any comments, good and bad. Apologies if it came across too strong.

I was sort of lashing out at the haters and agreeing with you same time.

Its easy to be a keyboard modder.I know that's not you but there are many here LOL

Like you say with fro t and rear differences you must buy a staggered set or use spacers to get front back match on the offset.

I got a set of brand new forged wheels for about 60% of retail so I am HAPPY with my compromise. I also do not understand this stretched tire concept. Maybe on a cheap cast or OEM wheel cause you know your gonna bust it up sooner or later. Cannot see that on a DD on the roads in any place that has winter.


MOD ON BRO

PPower

I didn't want staggered wheels either because you can no longer rotate tires, and it's not even RWD. For a front heavy FWD car, you totally screw up the handling as well. Same with camber on the rear. Comber front for turn in and corner grip, yes. Cambered rear, can't handle right at all.

my umpteenth led drl post.

i bought some 30w led drl 9005 to match my fogs and headlights

here some pics

Just like the rest of it........it needed a ReBadge/



When I get a few some better pics for vous/

PyroDave

i prefer the A symbol in a circle, but i feel like the square would grow on me. love how experimental you are with it. good job buddy

robpp

iTrader: (2)

yeah we tried the circle and filled the outer with just black.......

from afar it looked good but not close.

i didnt have the skills of cu2 dan to reshape the grille......

i think my fav is the chrome H that comes with the grille.

i am not that happy with the red H.


but i will rock this for a while/

robpp

iTrader: (2)

some better pics of my faux badge........honda shape with an A/

these are resin and 2 layer. the background then the outline and the A. so there is some dimension to it like a real badge.

rebadgedesign.com is where I got them

ed_423

its definitely a compromise. i decided to just keep the circle acura and just have the backgruond black (in my case i vinyl it with carbon fiber)

like you said, looks great afar, get closer you can see the emblem and background isn't perfect. but i personally prefer the circular look haha

i do like how yours such a good fit though

Bought and installed a set of led reverse lamps..

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ed-tower/1514/

No pics

robpp

iTrader: (2)

new LED DRL.

vleds 1800 lumen http://www.vleds.com/cxa-led-headlights.html

and i wired in some 6ohm resistors. 10ohm will work too. one per side.

but vleds also sells some 9005 pnp resistors. http://www.vleds.com/resistors/in-li...05-1-pair.html

DRL output



drl at night



lowbeam only

then with highbeam

PPower

Excellent! 10ohm would cut the output down I assume.

robpp

iTrader: (2)

No I don't think so


10 ohm would actually be better....higher number id actually less resistance which means less heat. Resistor sole purpose is to trick module into thinking DRL is drawing proper load. Negative side of resistor is heat.

Got to be careful where you put them

Chulodee

where can i get that grill?

robpp

iTrader: (2)

i bought mine on ebay australia.

remember just like usdm there are 9-10 and 11+ that look similar but only fit specific.

the emblem is extra

met up with some local honda guys.
met rob from 99cookies; he offered to do some photos of the ghost/

I'm trying to do this but just for parking lights
do you know which of the wires do i need to use?
red i assume power and black ground? and white is?

robpp

iTrader: (2)

Red and white = brake

so use one or other.......i dont recall which is which.

Light it up red black then white black using battery to see if there is a diff. I dont recall.

atsx1313

very very nice!! hope to see more wagon sell/..

kostantinos

iTrader: (1)

White is dim and red is bright

If I just want to do parking can I chose
Red. Or will they burn out faster

PPower

I was just in Denver and saw a graphite wagon coming towards me by City Park. Thought it might it be you, and then it turned out to be a lady in a stock one. Oh well. If I had made the trip in my wagon instead of the Odyssey, I would have been sure to meet up and shoot them together.

robpp

iTrader: (2)

IDK i think burn up quicker

robpp

iTrader: (2)

For sure. I live in the SE sid e of town. I see same types of owners......not one thatveven acknowledged me LOL

PPower

Wagons there are so ubiquitous, you just aren't that special. :P I am going through Subaru withdrawals now that I am home.
