2nd Gen Outlander Accessories((group buy))

yeah...that's a little too much to list on this post dood. I'm sure the fellow peeps could check this out on  their own., but thanks.

I would most likely be down with anything, but If I was to make a special request it would be the nudge bar from the aussie site.

I was wondering if this excerpt from Biscuit's post ....

Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS) MZ313870


is in fact the japanese version of the MMCS (w/ nav) accessory installed on Outlanders sold in the US. I believe the japanese version supports both rear view camera and has an analog tv tuner (and supports multi-language so I can set it to English!).

That is what  I want with the fogs lights though. So far I think thats the only option that I would buy. Im sure there will be local places in the US that will be making some sort of nudge bar.

I would love to have the silver painted Rear Skid Plate and Side Door Garnish.

Isn't that rear skid plate already there on your vehicle just waiting to be painted?
 
 

That Navi looks like it'll be too much no matter what. Let's try and get some smaller accessories to start.

we should make a poll on the most popular accesories and go from there
 

That would work. I know it'll be hard to nail down a few accessories, but it'll be worth it for everybody.

Well, one way or another I am buying:
 

I already tried, but if you can get better prices then I'm down.  Shipping to US is an absolute nightmare...

Here's some things I already inquired about (not including shipping):

Tailgate protector AU$200 (~US$155)
Sports mesh front grill (diamond white pearl paint) AU$319 (~US$247)
Bonnet protector AU$70 (~US$55)
Chrome door edge moulding AU$103 (~US$80)
Alloy nudge bar AU$544 (~US$422)
front driving lights (includes wiring kit) AU$354 (~US$275)
Aluminum accent plate (silver color) AU$259 (~US$201)

My wife is going to Japan this weekend, as long as I don't order something huge she can bring my parts back with her. :)

Maybeyour wife can arrange with whatever RalliArt dealer in Japan to ship to the US. Tell them that a lot of buyers are intrested.

I'd like to see that happpen..........

me too.

How big is her suit case? Will it fit that nudge bar and fog lights???

LOL, make that two, cuz I want them also
 

We should get a group buy going for a bigger suit case!

Were going to have to group buy her a boat to bring all this stuff back.

Hahaha....that's even better!
On a side note......I did the old unplug the battery for 45 minutes to reset the ECU trick...and it's probably just me like every other time I do this...but the pick up is so much better!
Here's a lame run down:
Resetting your ECU. Your ECU is your cars brain. It tells your engine what to do and how to do it based on tons of readings it recieves along with how much throttle is being applied and so on.

After you perform any modification to your car. You should reset your ecu so it can clear its memory and re-learn and adapt to the new parts. Instead of having it try to optimize in with its old parts. Its best to reset and let it learn from the new setup....instead of trying to get it to forget the old.

It can be easily done by unplugging the negative battery cable connection. If I remember correctly my chilton manual says 30 seconds. I still try to leave it off as long as possible. Into the night and possibly next morning if you can.

Then you connect the cable back on. Then start the car outside , let it run till its full warm. Normally 5-10minutes during the summer. Some wait till they hear the fan kick on....but you really just need to see the temp gauge at its normal operation position. Do not touch the gas pedal. Then once warmed.

Shut off and use when you are ready.

Also some like to take the car out and run it hard around 3times. Basically 1st through 3rd like you are racing. Of course this sounds kinda weird , I dont know if to believe this. But it cant hurt and it sounds logical , so it doesnt get some weak run and try to learn from that , you immediatly feed it some hard runs to set it self to and you should be good.

You also have to reset it for every mod. I also do it for every season change. This also lets your car adjust to the environment , different humidites and oxygen levels and densities. All are different variables that can effect your cars performance. So to take full advantage , you again want your car to learn and base its settings off a smaller period of time. So resetting it in lets say winter, its like its whole life was driven in the winter , and so on and so forth. Instead of having it try to adapt from its summer time conditions over to the winter...its best to just start fresh.

-- NOTE , do not try resetting your ecu when you have any sort of fuel additives or things in your car that you wouldnt normally have. So fuel cleaners , higher octane fuel , different fuel than you normally run...dont try this then.
 

This is the 1st UK Outi I've seen with any accessories so looks like they can now get it, still no sign of brochure yet tho, this car's a dealership demo (front sports mesh grill, roof bars, mud flaps and luggage carrier)

That grill is nice! That might be my first choise.
