    a lot of hondata info is on that site.

    IMO, you have chosen some quality goods and you have done a bit of homework before your selection.

    I would save some money on the mugen strut bars and go a cheaper alternative. I really don't think that strut bars do much in the real world. I have 2 spoon bars and I track my bitch up. I can't tell shit all diff.

    Look into the SSR header too. I have read that it outperforms the TODA header.
    Same goes with IPS cams vs TODA cams.
    The TODA front sway is a bit too thick for my liking.
    There are cheaper alternatives to Brembos and are more effective. Search around for Stoptech and Wilwood.
    If you want to stay somewhat legal, instead of the mugen brake lines, get some Russel lines from Competition Friction in Canberra. They are ADR approved.

    Koifish is OFF THE WALL!

    ummmm, dude, if you havent already worked out - money seems to be no object to this bloke

          The only thing that I have cheaped out on in my suggestions are the strut bars. IMHO a strut bar is a strut bar and I would be willing to bet my 3rd testical (if I had one) that no-one on this board can feel the difference between any strut bar. Unless the thread starter is into Bling.. if so I have nothing to comment on this thread.
          The Wilwoods and Stoptech brakes will be cheaper but IMO will outperform the brembos so its a win win. Again if he is into name brands... no comment.

                  Well i want as many Mugen parts on my car as possible... why?

                  Well, "blush", bling factor... and the fact that Mugen parts are VERY high quality, along with their extensive race collaboration with Honda... so they must be doing something right.

                  Ohlins suspension, well yeah even if i sold both my diamond encrusted nuts, i still wouldn't have enough for them considering the rest of the parts im putting on the car.

                  The Mugen parts would go nicely with the full Mugen kit im putting on the car too.

                  Ok, i didn't realize that he Hondata was such a head-f**k... so I'll look at finding a HKS-Fcon V, which i have no idea where to find

                  but if anyone knows of any other engine management system, which doesnt require complete rewiring on the engine bay, like the Motec, let me know.
                  .


                  And can someone point me in the direction or those headers and cams someone pointed out earlier... website and stats etc. along with which ones to choose for 9000rpm and normal idle

                    If your going to deck your car out with mugen might as well get their ecu too.
                    Plug and play

                      mugen also produce a coilover for the dc5 if you are interested.
                      what part of the hondata chip are you concerned about?

                        oh, didnt realise it had to be plug and play...

                        in that case - have you thought of the AEM? it is plug and play... i can get these, as well as the HKS Fcon... i will get you a price for both asap...

                          mugen has two coilovers

                          one is the non height adjustable "coilovers"

                          one is the n1 coilovers which isnt really purchasable by retail customers. Only people with race credentials can purchase them.
