i have a 05 em2 coupe and im trying to make it into a canyon based car. rite now everything is stock on it except its lowered with neuspeed sports springs.
can anyone tell me what i should add onto it to make it canyon based and somewhat track?
and so far im thinking of adding a aem cold air intake and a stabilizer bar. and does anyone know where i can get the oem factory spoiler as well as the 05 special edition rims for it?

 

what exactly is a canyon base car...? Track wise is a different story.

Every part you said so far is mostly for looks and sound. Not much gains or track worthy. If you were serious about tuning your car for track... look into spending money on coilover and sway bars. Those will probably be the best bang for your buck mods.

Strut bars do little to nothing for our cars.
Stock 05 SE rims will do nothing either. Again...if you were serious about tuning your car... look into light weight rims instead.

You can get a OEM spoiler (or OEM Style) on ebay. But our cars will unlikely go fast enough to need one. (Again for looks).

Your best bet is to read the forums and go through threads and use the search button to find simple answers. goodluck on your build!

 

For the rims and spoiler your best bet would be craigslist or a forum. They are crazycexpenwive from honda.

 

I think a canyon based car means driving through nice twisty roads in remote areas, similar to auto-cross I guess.

The first thing you should put your money into is new struts; once that's taken care of then look into sway bars, ss brake lines, energy suspension bushings and just go from there.

 

Don't bother with the AEM intake. You won't gain any performance from it. It just makes noise. If it's the noise factor that you're after, buy a cheap ebay knockoff and put a good filter on it.

If you're going to buy a strut tower bar, you should buy a 1-piece like Neuspeed.

Your best bet is to upgrade your sway bars and end links, shocks/struts with a full coilover kit (although there are other options) as well as better tires and brake pads. It's a good place to start.


Check your local junkyards and craigslist, or scour the Marketplace. Buying them new is ridiculously costly.
