This CU is fun during the mid end to high end but as for the initial pick up, the car seems heavy... Is there anyway to improve on this? I am looking in changing the air flow system as well to K&N and dont know whether will MBM void the warranty...
bro James,

Look at this Pivot 3 Drive or Pivot AT....it will helps u to improve the initial pick up. This gadget can manually set to 3 modes while the sprintbooster cannot but work likewise...open valve throttle...

Cheers.

Post by kizzte » Sat May 16, 2009 1:28 pm

Hi to all bros and Sis...

I had collected my honda and install all the I.C.E System and other accessories and solar film at $2,500.

I am Very happy with the Sound Quality, ontop of that I also paste a 3M carbon fibre sticker at the rear lower bumper just above the two Exhaust.

Will Show case after my Incamp.....

and the Consumption for First Tank 480km and top up 58 Litres. so average 8.2km/L .

Trying to achieve 9.5 for the second tank, Trying very hard..... :P

Agree, sound quality damn good, esp with the subwoofer, shiok!

Where's your incamp? Mine coming up the week after, 25-29May.

I'm so far still on first refuel. Currently, having slightly more than 1/2 tank left, travelled 305km, computer shows 9.2L / 100km. Been kinda lightfooted, brought it up to max of 3100rpm.

Not yet man. I'll collect it in mid May after I come back from overseas. Bought from Jeff, whose also in our forums.
Hey guys, i collect my CU2 last month. Been driving for a moonth already.
From what i know. the 1 we are driving is meant for export to auzzie. that y OMV lower. Overall the car is good! Excelent in fact. by the way, i got it from vincar as well. i'm 1 of of the first to drive it in Sin if i'm not wrong. Fuel consumption pretty allright. can clock up to 600km for a full tank, highest hit is 650km.but a full tank cost about $90. i;m pumping 95ron by the way.
Only thing that there a sound at the back . Had that sound on the first day i collected it. Went to service centre to rectify it couple of time, they could not find where its coming from. Tell me sound not cover under warranty. What rubbish, does that mean i buy the sound together with the car?SOund included is it. Guys, maybe once u got ur car, do check when driving over hump or uneven road, there a clock clock sound coming from the right back. if don't have, mean i bad luck. only my car has it.
going back to mbm to do it again next week. gng to leave the car there for a couple of days. they say need time to do a through out check. removing my bumper and everything. Sian :(
considering CU2 but something is pulling me back based on some feedback in Aus Accord forum, http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99566 and the press release on the fixes sometime in June/July, http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/news- ... ing_fixed/. I know this happen also in US for the TSX, also feedback in their forum, http://tsx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=684180

I just wonder so far if any brothers here has enountered any of such problem and whether the problem above is the same ??? any feedback, thanks

pulling back meaning you have other cars in mind? just an assumption.

these pinging problems if any, honda will rectify it. i guess you pulled back buying the CU2 is due to PI honouring this problem if ever found in sg?

maybe the CU bros can feedback?

Hi, currently driving CU2 for 1 month and there is no pinging problem... Anyway, since the car is under warranty, the workshop will have to bear the responsible for any problems with the car.. If there is any special instruction from Japan for the recalling back the car, i believe that the authorise workshop will definitely honor their responsibility.
