Accord ICE

Post by Quintet » Sat Jan 30, 2010 1:35 pm

hi there,

this is my first post :) I booked a CP1 hopefully coming in 3 bids time.

I have been looking all around in the forums trying to find answers to the following questions:

1) The sound system from the stock unit sounds crappy. Can I ask, it is due to the headunit quality or the speakers are cheapo/sucks? Anyone know what I can do to improve it?

2) Rims, I was thinking of getting Rims+Tyres. Price range is so great. I am a novice in terms of cars, so I don't need too expensive ones, just ones that look nice and hopefully aren't too heavy (so that FC doesn't get too much affected?). Anyone know a good place in SG or even MY (cheaper)?

3) Like to have decent bodykit. Wonder if anyone has recommendations.

I look forward to the meetup on Feb 5 2010? What time is it?

Glad to join the club soon !

Hi Quintet,

Welcome onboard the CP group....:clap: :clap:

1) Regarding sound system, u r partially correct about its quality. I say partially cos some bros here may feel its still top or acceptable quality to them. For me, its not as I got poisoned by bro AL & bro Jason! Will be glad to show u my mod on the entire system....2DIN HU, tweeters, Sub, amps, cap & etc...

2) K also intro u to a reasonable tyre shop which we patronised. Affordable price for new rims + tyre and good trade in. Take note, the newer yr tyre, eg. 1 or 2 days old, the more u get in return for trade in, so dont run too many days then u go for trade in.

3) KM's bodykit is expensive cos I got mine from them then. There is a few model in the market n much cheaper...damage in the region of $1300 to $1500 (not sure got change or not)

4) As for meet up on 5th Feb, thats the usual honda club meet up....not sure if any CP is going....

Cheers!

Hi Weaver87,
thanks for offer, would love to see your ride sometime. If the CP owners are meeting on a weekend, would love to drop by.
Also appreciate it if you could PM me the address of the tyre shop that you guys go to? Bodykits, have no clue where to buy from other than KM.. any ideas? Besides going to Thailand :(

Thanks for the reply!

Hi, ok will pm u the tyre shop contact after I retrieve the name card...as for the bodykit, there are quite a few in Auto Point AMK, simply walk around and ask a few shop for quotation. There r also many tyre shops there whereby u k compare prices but overall they are on the high side....

cheers!

I'm thinking of installing a 1DIN pioneer at the bottom where the center compartment is OR (I was suggested) the option of installing a Alpine "post-mixer" device that enhances the sound of the stock system.

Does anyone have such setup so that I can have a look first hand? Which option is better? How much does your system cost?
