The 'help me spend my money' topic

Post by **Donald** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 5:54 pm

Hello fellow enthusiasts & you 4G owners,

I have some money and I want to spend it. I need your help.

BUT.

I want to spend it wisely, so there are certain criteria that need to be met when suggesting stuff.

I. Nothing mega fancy wow, e.g. The Fast & The Furious stylee body kits, etc.
II. Mustn't detract from the overall reliability of le vehicle.
III. Must improve (somehow) on an already brilliant design, the 5th gen.
IV. Preferably available in the UK.
V. I ain't buying anything that claims to do something, but does nothing.

Buy a 4th Gen, meets all the requirements

motegi lip kit is a must, or just front lip jdm styles

and good choice of rims

ecu & tuning? then you can go from there

Front lip, spoilerless.

I like my Motegi's so I'm probably gonna keep those but get them refurbed/resprayed at some point.

Ammo - don't you have a 5G too?

A nice set of wheels often 'makes a car'
Set of shocks maybe

Mmm, maybe I could be persuaded by some nice wheels, like the Integra style, but I'm reluctant to swap for something maybe a bit typical!

Already lowered on Koni's with Eibach springs

Having had a look at your profile, is there anything else you can do? You seem to have covered the basics. The only performance mod I can suggest it a better suspension setup, a nice set of coilovers, but if you dont rag around the place (like me

) you may not need it. I find with my H22a8 it doesnt need any more power for a daily driver.

A lip kit would set it off nicely

Yeah you're right about there not being much else to do, I'm just feeling a bit bored with it at the moment! Lost the love a little bit, recently two people have scraped my bumpers whilst I've been parked up and I want to get those sorted too. Nothing major but it makes me weep inside every time I see it.

As a daily driver I don't want to spend silly money making it quicker because I don't really need it, but anything that's going to maybe make it a bit nicer to run/more responsive, I don't mind doing.

To be blunt, I know drokk all engine wise, just basic stuff. So in my head I'm thinking a nice 4-2-1 would maybe free some stuff up but also make it more responsive, which is the kind of thing I like. Double whammy upgrades.

And yeah, in my head I have a nice image of having no spoiler and a nice front lip, not so keen on the Motegi ones though.

Lighter flywheel I found transforms the H22, rev's easier.

Current car I have to work to get into vtec, old car with the lighter flywheel I found it much easier to get it into vtec and keep it there (It had the M2B4 Lsd gear box so I dunno if gear ratios are different though)
