Those of you with 06 Civic's list your mods!

[Aco3n]

will post this weekend.. if I can make it.. too much things goes around..
mugen style... use couple screws.. even without the screws.. I don't think I can pull apart the front one.. sits too tight.. but there's no gap at all side by side


U got Moudle or Mugen one? how can u stick on it? use few screwds? need pic, bro

[dyljoy]

I got pro to take off the OEM front grill, when i remove the 2 screwds from the grill, i found it still get other 4 clips stick on the bumper, and they are not easy to take off, thinking if i cut the clips off, can i get new clips from Honda...if can, i will cut them off rather than take too much time on it

[xenfacta]

I think this item is good for improve the HP, but i have no idea its price is reasonable or not, hope someone here try it and tell us how about it

price is ok, about standard for what it is. i doubt its cf tho. these things are a bitch to install tho, from wat i gather on the us sites

[denot]

U think i can install it on my auto? will it makes any different?

[Civic^^]

Hmm... asked ppl around me and noone can figure out what that LCD is showing. Any ideas?

I still think that the RPM on the right is unnecessary.

As for grille.. you need to double side tape it for sure. I used masking tape as planning to use the screw to secure it. The upper clips won't be enough.

well i know for sure that they are Defi Gauges. From what i can see the one starting from the far left is intake manifold pressure then oil temp then oil pressure.

[keiichi]

can anybody give me a rough estimate on how much they paid for their front grille?

[dyljoy]

in my case, i ordered from oversea(Singaport), it cost around 160 AUD include shipping fee from there, mine come with painted.

[keiichi]

that car sure looks hotttttt!!

[MKI4EVA]

love the advan windscreen sticker !!!!.

velee nice.

[dyljoy]

thx, i will make my car look much more sporty later once i get the bodikit

[raz05]

Looking good Joy:thumbsup:

[dyljoy]

thx~ray~

[JaCe]

I meant the LCD on the wheel- turns out that it's a voltage stabilizer... they are extremely popular here in Singapore, I noticed every shop sells them. The basic model is just a meter (can't stabilize) and is only around $60aud (plugs into cig lighter too if you're too lazy to install properly).

As for grille- that looks hot. I also bought a new grille from Singapore which is much better quality than the last one. Cost me around $90aud and came prepainted in black.

[dyljoy]

cool, show us once u put it on ur car. and i did the first 1k service today from honda, and found i can buy the clip which i broken when i take off the orginal front grill, they cost around $2.8 each, it is exp but at least i would no worry about once i break them in the future, hoho

[denot]

btw guys, have any of u know about this "factory upgrade"?

http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Honda.com.au/Home/Showroom/Civic/Accessories/I+-+Accent+lighting+set

kinda cool... is it not?

[dyljoy]

ya, and it costs around 300 AUD if i am not wrong

[dannybubu]

ya...i have them...costed me 260 bucks...but they look very sexy...

[JaCe]

I saw it in the honda original accessories brochure but it didn't appeal to me (knowing it'd be expensive)!

As for mods, I'm also planning to install my K&N filter soon (bought it in malaysia). Got a new black grille which I have to cut mesh for as well.

[dyljoy]

show us when u done all the stuffs
btw, I may get double din dash panel from SG later, just waitting for the reply~

[Aco3n]

You reckon I can get the brackets to hold the HU separately? and also the small glove box beneath? I'm desperately looking for 'em...


show us when u done all the stuffs

[dannybubu]

are there any other bodykits around except for the mugen one? it's so freaking expensive but it looks great none the less!

[Aco3n]

Modulo.. in here.. you can get 'em from Honda.. looks betta IMO

[dannybubu]

Modulo.. in here.. you can get 'em from Honda.. looks betta IMO

nice...you got any pics or anything? and you know how much roughly for the kit?

[dyljoy]

if get from honda, it costs around 2.2k i think

[xiaohung]

i got quote from austral $1700 fitted without the rear spoiler

[Aco3n]

1700.. worth to spent I guess

[Bob san]

hmm i got quoted 2.6g.... but this was when the civic first came out back in april :p

yer if u can get it go for it cos the quality should be great (being a genuie honda item).

[dannybubu]

so can you order it straight from the honda dealer? or should i go through ozhonda?? like the mugen kit? and which you reckon looks better?

[Bob san]

so can you order it straight from the honda dealer? or should i go through ozhonda?? like the mugen kit? and which you reckon looks better?

yes u can order it from the honda dealer and they will fit it for you. The advantages from fitted by Honda are that they will probably offer you some sort of warranty (eg. don't expect them to replace ur front spoiler if u totally destroy it :p )

which one looks better? well imo go the mugen kit cos it looks more aggressive. but if u a peace of mind, go the honda kit. or maybe even a bit of mix and match? intresting to see how that will turn out:D

[dannybubu]

mmm does that mean the modulo kit is the one that you can get as an accessory? coz last time i looked in that book...it didn't look anything much...i reckon the mugen is better... hehehe anyways i found these pedals on ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=260061757723&rd=1&rd=1#ebayphotohosting
just wondering if they're real mugen...coz i like'em! :D

[dyljoy]

looks ok, but price is to exp~

[Bob san]

yer the OEM bodykit in Aus i belive is not the modulo bodykit. it consists of a front lip, side skirts, rear lip and a cute tiny little wing :p


The OEM bodykit looks pretty good (in real life) cos they (Honda) showed me what they looked like on the civics to convice me to get them lol :p

im not 100% sure but where did the modulo bodykit come from>? malaysia or singapore? or thailand?

[TurBIce]

NIIIIIIIICCCCEEEEEE DyljoY!!

[TurBIce]

[dannybubu]

hi, TurBIce, nice to meet u here, how about ur car? ya, i did some mod on my car atm, and will lower it and put the mugen kit on to make it nicer~

[dannybubu]

what does OEM stand for?

[dyljoy]

sorry, that's mean real one,hoho

[dyljoy]

sorry, that's mean real one,hoho

[JaCe]

what does OEM stand for?

Original Equipment Manufacturer.

I'm more used to seeing it in the "computer" context- as in, stuff included with a PC by the PC maker.

I've been under the impression that Modulo IS the Honda kit which is sold at dealers- not sure how I got this impression though. But from memory, comparing the pics in the Honda OEM Accessories brochure with the Modulo pics off the web, the two kits looked very similar!

Back to the topic of 06 Civic mods, has anyone installed the K&N filter yet? If so, please refer to http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57796 .... I'm looking for any tips/advice before I go ahead and muck about, trying to figure out where the air filter is, how to install it, etc...

[dyljoy]

[dannybubu]

thx for ur comment, Edward

[JaCe]

$190 including shipping, mate

For a new one?!

I mean... that's ridiculously cheap compared to the prices I got quoted for the Mugen Silencer (for Civic) at RM2700 (around $900aud).

[dyljoy]

just replica one from one of ozhonda trader, mate. it made by X-Force. Can't affort just exhaust costs over $900AUD.

[JaCe]

Oh... thanks for the info mate. Is it difficult to install? Also wondering if requires welding or if it's catback.

[dyljoy]

easy job for workshop ppl, it requires welding, not catback.

[dannybubu]

nice!!..that is sooooo cheap!!

[dyljoy]

JDM yard selling FUJITA intake, any comment for it? is it worth pay $495 for it?
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57631

[dannybubu]

i dunno...never really heard of fujita...i'd go K&N :D

[dyljoy]

same here, but still wait K&N release...

[JaCe]

Hmm... welding not good for warranty. Probably will wait for more options... thinking of doing that Fujitsubo (sp?) exhaust since it seems alright but for now, I'm spending my money on sound system (and still yet to install my new grille/K&N filter!).

[dyljoy]

JaCe, do u know K&N got intake with filter for our 06 civc?

[EG5]

hmm fujita is a famous japanese brand and workshop (fujita engineering). they had a NSX in best motoring that was tuned by Fujita engineering (in one of the Touge Battles).

Fujita is American company . Their products is a high quality , just like Injen , AEM etc.
Their intake kit came with
6061 T6 Aluminum Intake Tubing with Polished finish /wrinkle black finish
HoseTechniques Silicone hose w/Nomex
High quality Carbon Plated T-bolt hose clamps
Fujita Super Flow High Performance Air Filter
TIG Welded bracketry
Vibration Mounts

Enough said , check out their site , they been around for a while.
http://www.f5air.com/

[dyljoy]

for the Fujita, is it easy to install? do they come with menu which tell how to install?

[denot]

You think our warranty will be gone after this? Any1 know what other brand has intake for the new 06 Civic yet?

Off topic: any1 read the latest ASM review on Intakes? comments? :p

[dyljoy]

[rivergod]

[channon]

[dyljoy]

[nemes|s]

hb4 i'm quite sure

HB4? I thought it was HB3 according to the manual?

[Bob san]

yer it should be Hb4. i got some HID bulbs on my civic that are Hb4 (super white).

[G_Vtec]

JaCe, do u know K&N got intake with filter for our 06 civc?

go the K&N intake pod. Its not available on our shores as yet but you can easily buy a new kit from ebay.

http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=69-1012TP

cheers

[dyljoy]

Hi, G_Vtec, long time no see here, i have been search for it from K&N site, and found this b4, as it shown is for US ver civic Si, so it fits our ver civic perfectly as well? u did? thx

[MKI4EVA]

has anyone put in the K&N? is the intake sound much louder?

[dyljoy]

G_Vtec did, he can tell u what its result and he driving Spt one which same as u, mate

[G_Vtec]

Hi, G_Vtec, long time no see here, i have been search for it from K&N site, and found this b4, as it shown is for US ver civic Si, so it fits our ver civic perfectly as well? u did? thx

i got the replacement filter because i want to keep the stock airbox and it fits perfectly. i removed the resonator and routed a 3inch flex hose to the front of the car for cooler air and the car runs alot better.

A mate of mine got the typhoon kit and the only drama was to trim the hose to fit the throttle body but otherwise, the installation only took us about 1hr or so.

current waiting for the progress springs to arrive from the states (12 weeks ground shipping). been hearing good reviews about them and cant wait to put them on the civic.

cheers

[G_Vtec]

has anyone put in the K&N? is the intake sound much louder?

i got mine from an online supplier based in the US. Had it in the car for about 3 months already and loving it. Car feels and response alot better to the throttle and the suction noise is slightly louder. good value and i would recommend it over the typhoon kit if you like your engine bay looking stockish.

cheers

[wassup]

Just a quick Update on mine.

Over the holiday period i had the following audio installed in my Civic:

6.5" Splits
4 Channel Amp
12" Sub

High, low and mid range has improved greatly. Very happy with the results.

[Dennis]

Hey all can anyone tell me the offset for the civic 06.. I'm doing it tuff searching the forums.. fyi I want to buy after market wheels before my civic arrives in 2 weeks...

[G_Vtec]

i have Work rims on my sport civic (offset is +42) and they flush perfectly with the guards. stock offset is +45 i believe....

[dyljoy]

i am using Wedsports wheel which offset is +43, fit civic without problem as well

[Jo_e]

114.3 x 5 Offset +48 Stock.
Wheels that will fit the accord will fit the civic. +42's etc.

what colour is your civic?

those wheels will fit.......

if you had a white civic it would look awesome......

[Dennis]

Black..but I will get them painted to a darker colour.. or this.. but it looks like it has a lot of gutter damage.. http://firesport.ipspace.com/?section=item&action=show&id=78232 wat you think on a civic painted in a bronze/black colour?..

weird, these ones look hot off the car........the bronze is more suited to multi thin spoke mags i find............black is for any design mag.

[dyljoy]

agree, just like the rim on my car atm, blk car with bronze rim, hoho, looks nice

I doubt I'll get the typhoon kit- personally don't see this car as a performance and am planning to change once I graduate from uni. Might as well save my money for now. Out of interest, how much is it costing in Asia (to the dude who went to HK)?

Btw, to G_Vtec, is your filter the same as the one I have? http://picasaweb.google.com/jace.88/08JACE888Stage2/photo#5016122682385669778

wah so nice man......the rear wing really balances out the proportions of the car front to rear.

don't drop it too low when you do..........just a tad would be perfect IMO.

K24 transplant next? kekekke.

[dyljoy]

haha, thx for ur comment, ya, i will drop it a lil bit, otherwise, accroding my skill, i can't go anywhere later, haha

[JaCe]

Haha yeh the rear wing really does balance it out. Looks hot! Also like the skirts.

Sigh.. i'm too pov to afford the mugen kit- would rather wait until more options become available.

On a sidenote, finally installed K&N filter. Quite nice... very subtle improvement but it's definitely noticable.

[JaCe]

yeah where is this grille from? cos its not a mugen grille. I like it. I want one!

It's a mugen replica grille (or "mugen styling" as someone correctly pointed out!)... basically the silver one I had before wasn't that good quality (the mesh wasn't that great, and the fit wasn't perfect, and of course the paint was silver...). I bought this black one when I was on a trip to Singapore. But yeh, this new grille, is really really top notch quality and cost under $100aud after negotiation since it was cash&carry with no paintjob. It fits perfect and came with the mesh unattached with screw-in kit (ie. screws + washers) to fit it yourself- if you look at my google picasaweb site you'll see the parts as they appeared when i bought it. The fitment inside the engine bay is also alot better than the silver one because it uses the original Honda "push-button" style screws rather than .. the weird long thing the other cheap (grey) replica uses. Anyway I'll take a photo next time if I remember. From afar, you can't notice the different shades of black and it really does look like "one" with the car; but I'm still considering a thin layer of paint just to help it blend in a bit better.

One thing I've realised- if you're buying replica gear.. make sure you check it out in person. When you're at the shop, they can't **** you around since you inspect before you buy. I touched various qualities of Mugen replica bodykits as well (range from $500aud upto $1500aud), and then there are the genuine kits as well... the $1500aud one is about the same quality as the genuine kit ($3000+aud with wing, visors and grille); except it comes in this ugly colour... (totally unpainted).

ANyway, if you look on my site http://picasaweb.google.com/jace.88, you'll see that in some pics I have a silver colour grille. If you have the silver Civic, it'll be a perfect colour fit, but it won't fit perfectly with the engine bay so you'll need to use double sided tape to keep it in firm. That one was bought online for about $70aud... can't remember exact price.

[xiaohung]

very nice joy, looks much better in person

[dyljoy]

Totally agree with u, Jace. I got all the genuine Mugen body kit expect the front grille, bought it online from SG as well. Well, its quality same as ur silver one i believe, it can't fit engine bay's screws perfectly, so may i will get genuine grille later on. and then my car will look much better with all mugen gear.

[JaCe]

I've uploaded pics of the new replica grille and how well it fits. My father and I came to the conclusion the reason why the cheap replica one didn't fit was because the mesh had already been fitted and was very very poorly cut. As a result, the mesh was "bending" the plastic, hence causing it to not fit.

Lesson to be learnt: If you're cutting the mesh for the grille- DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL CRAPPY MESH AS A TEMPLATE

Sorry for not so great quality; was using a camera phone inside the carpark. Also note, it's still the original dull black it came in- I haven't spray painted it to colour match the rest of my car. But from afar, it looks stock and the lines are quite flowing with the bonnet, so it doesn't look out of place :)

ps. Even though Mugen is great quality, I refuse to believe that the front grille is worth $500+ AUD. But then I also am shocked to find that the cheap grille (my first silver one) probably isn't even worth $50. As a tip dyljoy, you can try taking off the mesh, buying proper mesh and cutting it again, and then also using the 3M double sided foam tape to help hold it in firmly; however, this all depends how good quality the plastic used to make the grille is... my second (black) grille was considerably more durable/stronger than the first one despite both claiming to be made from ABS Plastic.

IMO, for copy one.. it just the matter of the craftsmanship and quality of the "ingredients".. and.. you get what you pay.. that is almost always true..

your one looking good jace..

I've uploaded pics of the new replica grille and how well it fits. My father and I came to the conclusion the reason why the cheap replica one didn't fit was because the mesh had already been fitted and was very very poorly cut. As a result, the mesh was "bending" the plastic, hence causing it to not fit.

how big is the mugen wing? is it similar to an Evo/STI wing? it looks kinda big in the pics but i haven't seen it in real life so i dunno. :p

Btw oops, I just realised my grammar/punctuation made it ambiguous.

1. Cut mesh bigger than the template/original crappy mesh; and then trim to fit the screwholes or cable tie slits (depending on which replica grille you have)

2. Use either screws/washers or cable ties (again depending on which replica grille you have) to attach the mesh and THEN trim the mesh to fit.

3. After using the screws or 'pop-in' screws (again depending on which replica grille you have) to fit the grille to the front; make sure it fits snug.

4. THEN take it out, and use 3 or 5 strips of double-sided 3M foam sticky tape along the bottom part of the grille (ie. the part which sits on top of the bumper) and then it'll hold it in really firmly.

Some of the replica grilles (in my case, the crappy silver one) have a 4th screw/hole for you to use to affix the grille which might make Step 4 not necessary since it'll be stronger; but I personally never used it since I didn't like the silver grille enough to try to get it to fit. The double sided tape is much better.

Hope this helps :)

PS. When I saw the Mugen wing in person.. it's huge. I'm guessing it's the same size as the Evo or STi ones but can't really make that much of a comparison. On a sidenote, in Malaysia I saw a replica one and it was around RM350 from memory; or about $120aud.

not too big, and perfect fit size for civic

Btw on a sidenote, when I say "huge".. i mean, from a practicality point of view in terms of fitting it into my carry on luggage when flying back from Malaysia to Sydney.
