Trade Parts (Exedy NZ) on Wairau Road, Glenfield at North shore. I use Motul Xcess 8100 5W40. They also have Elf/Total engine oils too. Their pricing is quite good. You will realize the engine oil pricing at Repco/Supercheap is expensive when comparing to the price you pay for Motul and Elf/Total at this shop!!

Motul and ELF is cheaper than mainstream brands @ Repco/Supercheap?? How is that possible..?

Went with 225/35 front and 235/35 rear to fill guards
might look into 225/35 for rear with 15mm spacer
and maybe same with fronts with 215

So, what's the consensus on the best tyres to be get for a CL9? Looks like I need a set of 4...

[SiRedge]

Depends on what kind of driving you do most of the time, and what sort of a driver you are. Can't go far past a set of Bridgestone RE001 Adrenalins though IMO; excellent tyre wet or dry.

Ah, good point - they're 225/45Z R17s. The standard Honda wheels.

When I brought it 18 months ago it got two new Dunlops on it (as provided by the car company, not my choice) and they've been decidely average... was going to look at the Bridgestones if there's nothing else I should consider.

Not driven especially hard - it's mostly a family runabout, but when I do get to get it out on the open road...

Evil ek, what did you do to get the intake sound? I have just got my car and still learning things before I start experimenting.

[evil ek]

I went and bought me a simota panel filter and removed the resonator and piping.then bought a air intake ducting pipe that goes from the front bumper up to the intake box.If you connect the pipe to the box it is still quite.If you leave a gap between you will get a nice intake sound.

Just had my alternator replaced yesterday........ the battery (which I replaced in December) was completely dead. Therefore the Navigation System is reset and need a disc to unlock it.

Is it only the Manukau Honda have the disc? Will the one on the North Shore or Newmarket have it?

Just call the 0800 2honda then organise for the disc to be shipped to whichever outlet u want. But do check with north shore. I think they have a copy..

hello NZHondas.

Nice to see an active Accord comunity. Im from the USA and imported a Cm3 wagon. Recently i have replaced the battery, so my navi stopped working. I was having issues prior to doing thebattery changed(cd was scratched). and now that i replaced the battery the navi is locked.

Im wondering if anyone would be kind enough to burn their disc to an ISO file or some file and host it for me to download and burn it here since i cannot just go to a honda dealer here /:

some pics of my cm3:

17" BBS Wheels *genuine Japanese made* | Trade Me

Will these fit CM2?

[Jin]

Woah Mint CM3!!!!

[Slammmed]

Nice CM3! What are the specs on those wheels?

[xanctus]

Franklinhid, I have seen your car in tsxclub.com
Nice CM3 man...
How's the americans like tsx wagon? they must be unsure what it is from the back of your car.

[franklinhid]

Wheels are 18x8.75 +20 up front and 18x9.75 +20 in the rear

Running 215/40 for the front and and 225/40 for the rear

Americans are confused all the time. They think its an oddyssey or some kibd of chopped up converted tsx. Heck some think its a dodge magnum of some sort. I love it!

Hi guy I'm looking for a wheel shop to help me setup my CL7R with wheels+tyres combo and flush fitments? Any recommendations out there?
I would normally do my own research on this but i haven't got allot of time at the moment and there seem to be lots of variables with ride height, offsets tyre size\type, wheel size, spacers and camber arms.
