hey Jr, did you get those Tein springs in Australia or shipped from Jp?

[Jr]

All parts from USA minus mugen kit. prices are tein 180 US, AEM 160US and kit around 3,000AUS. Car not here yet but when it come and parts fitted (taking leave when car come to fit parts) ill post photos when its all done :D

[SiReal]

I'll be very wary about using Tein S Techs from eBay USA. You understand that there was and still are sellers marketing fake sTechs. Go to tein.com to find out for yourself.

Hey do the HID's you purchased give out a clear line around the area it lights up like the factory HID kits or is it a on for young and old scatter of light?

I dont use EBAY, i got through offical reps dude. I know about fakes, Yes all this voids warranty on the selected area, but CAI can but changed in 30mins or less for service's ;) but springs cant :thumbdwn: depends on personal choice to mod or not.

[Tofu]

which civic did you buy? and how does the intake fit if it's the 2.0L civic sport
there's hardly any room

[Datuk]

can't wait till I get mine!

The cutoff is good.. i'll try to take a picture and post sometime soon.

Worth noting is that the NZ and Malaysian Sport equivelant has HID lighting as standard! ie: The headlight housing is designed to accept Xenon lighting :)

Check the pics below, youll see that its not glary at all and assuming you keep to the 4300k type bulbs itll look factory.

[Tigger]

The only things at the moment are the foglights and dark window tint.

Things I have planned are:
1) 18" HP mesh wheels in shadow chrome
2) 1" ~ 1.5" lowering with springs
3) Mugen air filter when it becomes available
4) Mugen exhaust when it becomes available
5) Mugen Kit depending on finances ;)

Its a damn shame there arent many mods available for our cars yet... :(

How much did the HIDs cost?
Haven't had a chance to look, do Civics use projectors or reflectors?

[type one]

when i look at the headlight assembly it seems to be a reflector... actually pretty confident it is a reflector...

[wassup]

The unit is a reflector type but trust me its not glarey at all... the Japan made model that NZ and Malaysia gets comes with Xenon lights (in the same housing) as standard equipement.

the kit i got was from Xenondepot. goto the 8th gen civic site and lookup the link to the special they currently have.. i think its something like $360usd and this is for a Phillips kit with the new Gen 4 Ballast that is very thin and tiny!

[davecash]

where would you get the mugen kit from when they become available or are they already?

[MKI4EVA]

ah yes, well done. Thats the key to it all, having the right hardware in the first place for the HID's to work well.

man you've done your research...........hahhah


We got rorted, no HID standard. :D

Yup.. im glad i got the HID kit for the car... driving at night is so much better. well worth the money.

[type-vtec]

so how much was the bass works, and wat does it do, and is it worth the money

[wassup]

Got the kit online in the US. approx $430Aud shipped.

It adds mid range mostly and retains that original factory look - so if you after sub bass sound then your best going else where...

You get a small amplifier that lets you adjust for gain and cutoff as well as two replacement speakers for the rear deck.

Check the pics in my other post on the bass works kit.

[Tofu]

Xenondepot kit is very reliable and the results are very good

in regard to the headlight housing...being a reflector doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be glary...on the other hand, it can be glary too. Just depends how you install your HID and which kit you use.

JDM DC5R also has HID as standard in a reflector housing, but there are people in the USA that has done a projector housing conversion with HID...and the differenece is HUGE!

[wassup]

Has anyone gotten the new Mugen exhaust or the body kit? surely with all the new civic now getting delivered someone has it!

[JaCe]

Would any of you guys be able to post info on where you bought your Civic 06 mods, prices, and info (maybe photos)?... I'm scared I might buy the wrong thing and it won't fit!

As for my own Civic 06 VTi-L... not counting floor mats and that :P... Added the spoiler from the Honda dealer accessories and installed low power RF amp+sub.

i was thinking of getting the Xenon Depot HID kit for my civic as well, how do you find the quality of the kit? was it easy to install? how long did they to mail the kit to you?

also which type do i need to get for the 06 civic? is it the H1 or H7 version?

[JaCe]

If what you guys say is true about the Malaysian model, I'll definitely be able to get the Malaysian HID kit from the Civic.. I just need to get the bulbs or something right?

Has anyone tried changing the bulbs yet on the Civic (at the front)? It seems rather difficult compared to other cars...

The Xenon Depot kit is the best one on the market and this is the conclusion i came to having spent a month researching on the net.

Installation is easy.. if you know where you want the wiring to go and you know where you can mount the Ballast and ignitor then itll take you 45mins. For me it took 2.5hours and this was to find a spot where i could mount the stuff and do it nice clean and tidy... you couldnt even tell it was running HID gear if you popped the bonnet ;)

Headlight size for the 06 Civic is '9006' and '9005' for the highbeam if your really keen.

The kit took less than a week to arrive and could have been faster if i was home when the courier turned up. ;)

JACE: i wouldnt bother with the OEM kit from the Malaysian model... it may not even fit our cars as the wiring harness would probably also need to connect into the washers which your car wont have. Not to mention that theyll cost a whole heap more even considering how cheap things are in Msia.

Bulb replacement is alittle more fiddly but once youve done it once itll take you a few minutes to do it in the future...

[JaCe]

I had a look at the manual and doesn't it require you to turn the wheels or something to access the light bulb area? I really wanted brighter lights or HIDs at one stage but at the moment, I'm gonna wait a bit since it seems quite pricey (remember I'm on a not so great income) and I think the money would be better spent on things I'd enjoy more (ie. upgrade front speakers and exhaust).

Btw do you guys know how to get those tiny blue LEDs inside the headlights I've seen on a few cars?

cool, thanx. when installing, did you have to remove the entire headlamp to fit the conversion kit? if you dont mind, could you post a pic showing where u mounted the ballasts?

[wassup]

Theres no need to remove the headlamp.. like i said.. if you know where your putting everything itll only take you 45mins.

Images below - particularly the second image is where i mounted the Ballast.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/5941/dsc007249hy.th.jpg (http://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc007249hy.jpg)http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/2994/dsc007275fi.th.jpg (http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc007275fi.jpg)

The bulb goes into the headlight assembly as you would when replacing the stock bulbs (see the owners manual) The cables from the HID bulbs will then hang down and connect to the ballast and wiring harness.. which you would have mounted below the headlight assembly. These locations are probably the best as if you take a look at your engine bay there are no good mounting positions like the strut towers for example on other cars...

The image below is the Ballast (bottom side of the Gen4 Phillips Ballast)and ignitor (little Black box) mounted on the Right hand side of the car...
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8531/dsc007306af.th.jpg (http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc007306af.jpg)

Installing the Kit is very basic.. everything plugs into its own little spot.. you cant get it wrong... you replace the bulbs as you would normally and you earth the wiring harness that you get with the kit and plug it into the battery... the hardest bit is tidying it all up so it looks factory.. so.. if you can imagine that then you know how simple it is. I personally think its one of the best mods you can do considering how often it'll get used.

Thanks for that.. I appreciate it.. at least I can order lowering kit by now.. and if it's not low enough.. just get a grinder.. LOL..

[JaCe]

I think for things like that, I'll wait for parts to become a bit more available so that I know that what I'm buying will definitely work.

So far the only part which requires some work which I'm ordering is the Mugen Exhaust.

[type one]

yes..patience is key for parts cos if you find something that doesn't work, you will only know after you have imported it... by all means feel free to guinea pig the item for us though....

Well after taking a chance and being the guinea pig, heres what i fitted today!! Didnt take long at all, prob around 30-45 mins as its a pretty tight fit. Took it for a spin and makes quite a big difference. Thanks to Leo for supplying it, your a gun!

[EK4R]

where can i get lowering springs ???

is there a Mugen Airbox out for the new civics?

I'm a n00b, but what do these actually do?

[davecash]

The chassis flexes less when cornering, you get a slightly better steering response and better traction

[Aco3n]

instead of mugen air box, why not CAI?? worth the money IMHO

[Civic^^]

tru~ u can get a Mugen air filter for the new civic

[xenfacta]

i want that filter.

dave, have you noticed much of a difference with the bar? did you have to remove any of the plastic trim to fit it?

[dannybubu]

i was thinking of getting a K&N air filter panel for my 06 vti...costs about 100 bucks...not too bad...i think that'll void the warranty so i'm planning to do it later on...but the sound system is going straight in tomorrow!!! big 6 hr job...
i got some pretty ordinary stuff for now...but that's coz i didn't have the money...but i might upgrade later on if i'm not happy with it... but i rather do other things and have an ok sound system!!
ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR MODDING! CIVIC CRUZ ONE DAY GUYS!

06 Honda Civic Sports :cool:

Currently In the Car:
K&N High Flow Air Panel
Removal of Stock Resonator (3inch Hose Piping to Front of Raditor for Ram-Air Effect)
Mugen Wind Visors
Work Emotion 17inch Rims with Yokohomas ADR-1

Currently Waiting on For:
Progress Rear Sway Bars with Endlinks
Progress Springs

I emailed and spoke to Whiteline and apparently they have no plans to start any development work on the new civic because of 'lack of interest'. Besides, someone has to drive into their Sydney plant and 'donate' the car for R&D.

Most of the parts I have atm are from Japan and Leo (JDM_Concept). I am currently making some enquiries with suppliers in the US because most aftermarkets that fit their Civic Si will fit our 06 Civic. E.g. Sway bars, springs, camber arms.

[Civic^^]

Which panel filter would be better for the new civic, The K&n panel filter or the Mugen Filter

[davecash]

If the mugen doesnt use oil then i would say that one. Always herd the oiled filters can cause problems down the road

[davecash]

dave, have you noticed much of a difference with the bar? did you have to remove any of the plastic trim to fit it?

yes some of the plastic trim can to be removed as its a very tight fit to attach the braces and theirs no way u can do it without removing at least some of the plastic trim in the bonnet. The front piece of plastic where the bonnet lock is HAS to be removed. I also removed the sides plastic bits. Then just re attached them once i was done. Yeah i noticed quite a diff ( some of it mite of been in my head :p ) but the ride just seems stiffer or more rigid. And it doesnt look too bad either! If you want some more pics jst pm me ur email address and ill send them thru

[Civic^^]

could you explain what the difference between a oil filter and normal panel filter work? ive never heard of a oil filter before. thanks

[destrukshn]

a oil filter filters the oil?

[davecash]

could you explain what the difference between a oil filter and normal panel filter work? ive never heard of a oil filter before. thanks

i think civic^^ meant an oiled panel filter vs non oiled
With the K&N filters you apply oil to the filter to help prevent dust from getting through. This can APPARENTLY cause problems with the MAF Sensor. As the filter already comes pre-oiled you just need to make sure that when it comes time to re-oil it you dont over do it and you give the oil sufficient time to migrate.

i didnt think k&n has brought one out yet, what size is it? i dont see why it would void ur warranty, i had a k&n on the monaro and holden never said a word. its a higher quality filter that requires less maintenance. dont see the prob with that!

yup.. that's the part number. Ordered mine from a supplier based in the US and I dare say that i'm probably the first to run it in my civic sports :angel:

Its an oil based air panel but no dramas to the AFM if you don't over-oil if after washing.

highly recommended

Have you noticed much difference? if so, what differences

car feels really good and definitely more responsive because i removed the stock resonator. Its shocking to see how air is being routed up and down the front of the engine before being fed thru the airbox.

A slight gain in torque as well as mid-top range. I'm almost getting around 20-40km more out of a full tank.

hope that helps.

do you have any pics? i curious to see how u did all this :)

[dannybubu]

do you have any pics? i curious to see how u did all this :)
nah i don't have any pics of it at the moment coz it's like pitch black and you can't see shit except the sick lights that are on the amps...but i'll take some soon...

just a brief run down though...i attached both of the amps onto the back of the seat and just had the sub sitting in the mid of the boot...the rear speakers just went in the rear speaker spots...so yeah...pretty simple...although 1 amp is as far right as it can be on the back of the seat and the other is more to the middle...i rather have the other one as far left as possible...but none the less it's a pretty decent system! no regrets!

nah i don't have any pics of it at the moment coz it's like pitch black and you can't see shit except the sick lights that are on the amps...but i'll take some soon...

just a brief run down though...i attached both of the amps onto the back of the seat and just had the sub sitting in the mid of the boot...the rear speakers just went in the rear speaker spots...so yeah...pretty simple...although 1 amp is as far right as it can be on the back of the seat and the other is more to the middle...i rather have the other one as far left as possible...but none the less it's a pretty decent system! no regrets!

whats the sound like? are you happy with it? or do you need to spend more time on the config? Im also looking at installing a sub and front splits using an LC6.

Im also looking at using Audio-Controls Epicenter to ensure the bass if nice and clean...

[dannybubu]

hi, mate, what size for the stock speaker, same size for both of front and rear one? thx
yeh man...the front and the back are the same...reason why i didn't change the front is because at JB the dude told me i already had splits in it and they're quite decent....i'm not sure about the splits part but one thing for sure is it keeps up with the rest of the sound system...so if you're thinking about getting front speakers....i'd say just keep the stock ones (unless you're going to be doing it for competition purposes) but definitely change the backs coz they're just crap...lol...oh yeah...and they're both 17cm...which is 6.5"

mmm...yeh i'm happy with the sound that i'm getting at the moment for the price i paid...but then again i'm not one that is real fussy and needs it for competition purposes. like is said in another reply....i wouldn't bother changing the front splits...i doubt i'd spend anymore money or time on the config at all...what does the Audio Controls Epicenter do? coz the bass that i'm getting at the moment is quite good. I had a mono amp and that already came with the bass controller...i installed the 4 channel amp because if i didn't i wouldn't have anymore outputs left...and it also AMPS IT UP!

i reckon with the stock speakers vol 10 is about the same as vol 3 or 4 in my sound system now...so quite a big diff!!

good luck with your sound system!

[dyljoy]

so u mean the front stock one get split already, and quite good sound as well? that's great, coz i just thinking if i change the front one to a upgrade one with split, where should i place the split to. so get a pair of good speakers for rear side should be quite enought. other thing is the stock cd player good or just soso, coz base on my experience from car i got b4, change a good cd player can make a huge diff, but due to civic's cd player build into the dash, not easy to do much more about it. just wait and see someone can come out some good idea for that later, cheers
PS: thx for ur info, mate

[Civic^^]

anyone do any perfomance mods as of yet?

[dyljoy]

anyone do any perfomance mods as of yet?
for the civic so far, i don't think have much choice to upgrade its performance, just wonder, anyone installed the mugen twin loop exhaust, hve some diff with it? planning get one later

The Epicenter adds extra signal processing to the low frequency bit of the source. Seen as the LC6 only gets the line out the Epicenter will seek out low frequency signals from the source and feed it through to the amp, kinda like a lowpass filter but with alittle intelligence.... in theory im not sure how great itll be but the reviews are promising. Im just not too keen on leaving the filtering to an Amp and the Stock HU has crap adjustibility compared to my last Pioneer headunit (Sub-control/phase/slope etc)

As for the front speakers they DONT have splits. The OS models have them, unfortunately the Local model here misses out. I upgraded my rear's to the Honda Bass Works and whilst its good compared to stock you cant beat having nice clean bass from a decent Sub.

Ive got a pair of Alpine DDLinear's ready to go in the front slots and im trying to figure out a better place than the back of the rear seats to put my 2x 2channel amps.

the car already has a spot for your splits...it's at the very front left and right corner of your dash board....if you can see there are already 2 grills there for splits...yep just get decent rear speakers, a sub and an amp and you're right to go. i didn't change my cd player because it's pretty good...i just used an amp to make it sound louder and better...i think that's all you need to do

The guy at JB said that it already had splits in them so i just took his word for it...nonetheless the front speakers are already pretty damn good...where else can you put the amps? let us know if you find a good place to hide them...

[dyljoy]

Finally, got my car just now~ love it, i will post its pic asap~cheers

[aussiebuddha]

Mods at the moment.
New Audio System
4 x 130W Amp
2 x Front Response Splits
1 x IDQ10 DVC Sub in the back

Accord Euro Luxury Wheels and Kumho 215/45/17 Ecsta 711 Tyres

Will be getting AEM CAI soon

Will be resetting factory springs to make them lower (possibly havent decided yet)

[Aco3n]

confirmed there are no tweeters inside the dashboard...

with the "flat type" dashboard.. will be good for the staging.. can't wait till I finish my final exam.. so I can spare some time to install the sound system..

[dyljoy]

so that cornerof dashboard will be the good placeto set up the split?

[Aco3n]

IMO, not the best spot.. but .. I don't see why not.. Honda made them for a reason..

[xiaohung]

yeah, i've installed my system using stock HU
they sounds alright, however still got distortion when the lights on.

for the staging it's really great. i've placed the tweeters on the windscreen.

my current system:
- stock HU with david navone line converter
- Seas lotus splits for the front stage
- tru tech amp for splits
- a/d/s sub 10"
- rockford 500s for the sub

anyone got the same problem as me?solution?

planning to change the splits, coz it doesn't really match my system.

[Aco3n]

xiaohung:
change your ground cable location.. either on the HU, or the amps.. or get some grounding kit.. if none of 'em works.. get some descent HU.. lol..

nakamichi... yuuummm.....

[xiaohung]

ground cable location for the front amp it's preety hard to find,i'm using the seats as a ground.

i've sold my nakamichi dude. that's a shame

[JaCe]

The guy at JB said that it already had splits in them so i just took his word for it...nonetheless the front speakers are already pretty damn good...where else can you put the amps? let us know if you find a good place to hide them...

They told me that too. They're wrong.

There are definitely NO tweeters, and the stock speakers are some crap made in Thailand. That being said, for stock speakers in this price range, the speakers are pretty decent- it's only when you listen to premium speakers (or even half decent splits) that you'll notice the difference. I think as someone else pointed out, it's the bass which is really lacking in the car.

That spot doesn't fit every tweeter- mine melted last Friday and fell out (landing near my accelerator pedal!) so I had to get it plastic welded in. It's a good place if you want to keep your car looking stock, but I heard that if you put it on A pillars, it'll create a much better sound stage- but also attract alot more attention.

As for mods- I've ordered a few parts... grille, chrome light surrounds and visors. Shall post pics once installed.

[bangers178]

hey
im new here but i've had two civics.
my old civic was:

2002 honda civic Vi
k&n air filter
lowered springs
19 inch lowenhart ldr rims
sound systems
8000k HID

i totaled it and now driving:

2006 Honda Civic Vti

i haven't yet mod. my new car, but i have bought half of my sound system.

but yeah just want to intro myself

what's an A pillar?? u reckon 150W splits are decent or what? lol...coz i still got them and im going to refund them soon...how much did the grill cost you?
can't wait for the pics man....

[chylld]

more info? :D
and lol at tweeters falling to your feet!!

dannybubu: a-pillar is the bit between the windscreen and the front window.

[JaCe]

LOL I kept the ideas/plans under wraps for now.. it's not going to do much performance wise, but they looked pretty good in the pics.

Ordered parts from a singaporean guy- not sure how good he is so we'll wait and see. Shall post pics once installed.

Btw to answer your Q about the price, the grill was very very cheap... but that was due to me ordering a few parts. Only concern is he wants payment in USD via Paypal.

As for the 150w splits- just remember watts aren't everything. I think my MBQ are rated 50w-120w. If they sound good to you, then that's what matters.

[bangers178]

in the civic there are diffinitly speakers in the a pillar but the not actually called 'splits' because there not running via a crossover. the sound setup in the civic is very much like the accord euro witht the a pillar speakers. 'A Pillar' position is normally aim at a higher quaility sound distrubtion as the sound will reflect ofthe window and the high feq. are therefore in a better position raher tthan the normal position on the side of the door.
i bought half of my system already and will be doing a minor custom job.
i have already bought

MB Quart RVF 216 and will be running them off,
RockFord T3002 amp
x2 JL Audio 12W6v2-D4 and will be powered by
RockFord T5001 amp

i still haven't bought a head unit yet becasue goin overseas and can't afford it yet. im thinking to leave the stock sytem and install the head unit in one the the compartments in front of the gear knob so i can hide it better.

[chylld]

in the civic there are diffinitly speakers in the a pillar

this is incorrect; the vti, vti-l and sport models only come with 6.5" woofers in the front doors and 6.5" woofers in the rear parcel shelf. the tweeter receptacles at the base of the a-pillars are not occupied in the australian versions (but they are in overseas versions).

[dyljoy]

so u mean in our ver, pillars got nth in it, right? so can we put the splits in it? and do u think we need change both of stock speakers which locate at front and rear? as i know, to improve the sound quailty, replace a speaker with crossover in front is good. how about rear? should we change it with speaker with crossover as well, or use speaker without crossover just enough, coz don't know where can i place the crossover in the back

[chylld]

well first let's clear up what everything's called. a set of splits (more commonly referred to as just "splits" or "components") typically consists of a woofer (~6.5" diameter speaker), a tweeter (~1" diameter speaker) and a crossover. the crossover takes the signal from the HU/amplifier and sends high-frequency music to the tweeter, and low-mid-frequency music to the woofer.

also in the 06 civic, there is no provision for the tweeters in the a-pillars; the tweeter receptacle is located at the corners of the dash (the horizontal bit, not the vertical bit).

to answer your questions: in the australian version, yes there is nothing in the tweeter receptacles on the dash. so you can put tweeters there if you wish (not splits, as that would imply putting a tweeter, a woofer and a crossover in that tiny little space!)

you can change both front and rear if you want, however for sound quality reasons it is much better to concentrate on the front only (some pro sq competitors delete the rear speakers completely - after all when was the last time you went to a concert with the band behind you??)

the fronts would benefit most from upgrading the stock woofer to a splits setup, e.g. with the new woofer in the place of the old one, the tweeter in the stock location on the dash and the crossover somewhere where it won't get wet.

the rears (if you really must upgrade them) can be either upgraded woofers, coaxials or splits/components.

i would highly advise against getting a set of splits without a crossover - these are typically budget systems that use simple methods like inline capacitors to filter lower frequencies from the tweeters, and will add colouration to the music as well as limit the tuneability.

ya, i am agree with u about get set o f splits without crossover, coz due to budget, hoho

[dannybubu]

nice info man...much appreciated...maybe i'll save up for a good set of splits...but then again...im pretty happy with the stock ones in the front coz they keep up with the rest of my sound system...

[dyljoy]

stock one not too bad, but thinking inhance a bit better

[bangers178]

does anyone know how to take out the air box in the Vti model?

[JaCe]

Also want to add that the Asian model Civics (maybe that's where Bangers got his?) have tweeters standard. But then the model I'm referring to is the singaporean model, which has a starting price of like $70k!

[JaCe]

how come it's 70k?? so exp!!!

They have like 300% vehicle tax... even a Corolla comes with leather.

[dyljoy]

glad to be here, not in singaport, but all range there come with turned indicator, more luxery, but still too exp compare to here

[dannybubu]

yeh same...nothing like australia...^_^...i wanna get 17" white forged volk te37 rims!!!! you reckon if i get fake ones it's worth it? or just save up heaps to get the real things?

[dyljoy]

depend on what's ur budget, but should get a good tyre for it, coz tyre will effect more than looking good

[JaCe]

[dannybubu]

how much do you guys reckon the type R sedan will be if it comes to australia?? around 40k?? i wanna get one!!!

[JaCe]

Haha I don't wanna make a new thread until I've finished my grille. Need to get it painted before install. It's easy to install though... pulled apart the front of my Civic today and it's really easy to fit.

As for pics of the lamp covers/visors;

nice lamp cover, want to see ur new grill look likr, bro. Are u from QLD as well? where is locate at?

[JaCe]

Nah I'm in Sydney mate.

The grille is going to be changed a bit... bought a cheap replica with a crappy mesh (which I also cut myself on ><!). Need to get it sanded down, sprayed, and then install a nicer looking mesh. Hopefully will finish within a few wks- but have uni exams coming up in a fortnight.

[dyljoy]

I am possible know the place u got the stuff from. U are lucky to have frd can give u hand to send them here. I still looking for way to find someone can help me get the rear view mirror cover from that shop, coz it looks great

[JaCe]

Look for international sellers and sometimes they can arrange shipping to Australia.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on the K&N air filter for the Civic 1.8? There's a sale going on in Singapore atm with each for under $80aud (maybe $10-15 for shipping?)... debating whether or not it's worth it.

EDIT: I'm not sure if I'm allowed to disclose the sellers here because they are based in Singapore... the guy previously wanted to sell on OzHonda but was rejected.

i have no idea what they cost if you buy them here from autobarn or something like that...but that sounds like a reasonable price...not sure how long it will take to ship over though...my friend told me the filters are like 100 bucks...but when you find out the right price...let me know coz i want one as well!! haha

[JaCe]

Apparently the retail price is around $140sgd (120aud?)... i might just get my cousin to order for me and see how it goes whether or not I want to install. I guess if I don't want to use it I can always sell on OH :)

you can buy the K&N filter in oz for $100
the Filter replacement showed no power gains in the R18, but it does sound like it's breathing better.

I generally always recommend k&n filters wether there's a power gain or not, but if what you're looking for is more kick, go with a CAI.

how much are the CAI ones?? i always recommend friends K&N because it's extremely reliable and for that price...you can't lose!

[xenfacta]

where do u get the k&n fitlers? i cant find them for 06 civic

[dannybubu]

where do u get the k&n fitlers? i cant find them for 06 civic

i think you have to find out the size and shape of it....and then you can order it on the K&N site? i think....or i'm pretty sure just go to autobarn...i think they should sell it...

[aussiebuddha]

get the number from the K&N website first.
then go to autobarn, supercheap or one of those, and ask them to get it for you.
The main distributor for K&N in australia is rocket industries.

Regarding the CAI
CAI as in Cold Air Intake.
It replaces the whole intake for a pipe that goes all the way to get air from the "outside" of the car and not the engine bay thus colder air means more oxygen and better combustion.

ppl generally gain an average of 5kw with a well designed CAI

For the civic 06 r18 there's 3 brand making CAIs
AEM (good brand but stuffed up on the 06 model, gives CELs, stalls, etc)
Injen (great brand, works great)
Fujita (works great as well)

Cheers

[rhk]

just wondering, has anyone tried buying off american based traders? (off places like auto city imports)

just wondering cause their usdm r18s are quite different to ours (aesthetically) and i was wondering if mods that fit them would fit audm models?

[xenfacta]

ipod adapter for the cd stacker port!

got it on saturday, didnt take pics unfortunately but will take some tomoro of the finished product.

[dannybubu]

anyone know how much to get HID's?? hi and low beam?

[JaCe]

I believe that for the 1.8, it's K&N Part No: 33-2342. http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2342

Any confirm?

If anyone gets prices in Australia, please post here! It'll save me from having to buy from Singapore.

[dyljoy]

anyone know how much to get HID's?? hi and low beam?
Just done my HID today, 8k, Low beam only, but still look great, Price at $300

[xiaohung]

of course low beam only coz our light is Hb4 which is only low.

had fun putting HID with me? haha

enjoy..

[dyljoy]

haha, thx, mate

[dannybubu]

yep i believe that that is the one for the civic!! hooray...ok i might buy one in the next few weeks!! gotta study coz of gay exams...so lame

[dannybubu]

of course low beam only coz our light is Hb4 which is only low.

had fun putting HID with me? haha

enjoy..

so we can only put in low beam HID's?? what happened to the High?

[dyljoy]

No, u can put HID on high beam side as well. coz our civic's low and hi locate spearatly, so u should put two HID to replace both of them, otherwise, u just can put one of each, and normaly ppl just replace the always using one --- low beam, hoho. if u want save $$, just replace a normal but super white color bulb from Hi beam side, then ur light color will be nice and match a bit than standard one

[Aco3n]

of course low beam only coz our light is Hb4 which is only low.

had fun putting HID with me? haha

enjoy..

would you fly to melbn? need help for some installation here.. lol..

[xiaohung]

i wud, if u send me the ticket over here.
have u bought urs?

[xiaohung]

so we can only put in low beam HID's?? what happened to the High?


don't think u really need to change high beam. in fact with ur low beam it'll be sufficient to blind people on the road.. lol

[Aco3n]

not worth the money to put HID on high beam.. you won't use it that much..

xiaohung: haven't got enough funds yet.. might be next year.. lol..

[dannybubu]

oh neat...we get to blind people!! :) woopee!! what about fog lights? lol...imagine having the whole set HID's...what about....HID indicators...lol lol

[xiaohung]

Hey guys, Ima new here...

here's my plan:
- HID Low beam conversion
- HID Lights bulb change for high beam
- AEM/Mugen Air Pod Kit
- Buddyclub Racing Spec4 exhaust kit (dunno if this fit to the new civic =S)
- Mugen/Custom rear wing (any suggestion on other brand rear wing?)

Like in my other thread, I'm goin to Japan next year so I was hopping to get good suggestion from you guys (the experts) about what other mod should I buy. Btw, the car is Auto thought :(

Cheers

hmm guess i will be the first to post about any performance mods :p

i got a 2.25inch xforce full cat back done on my civic last week. The sound is nice and deep with minimun drone. I also noticed a improvement in the mid to upper range torque :thumbsup:

[Brescia]

Those of you who got the optional silver finish dash trim,
does it go around the airvents as well?

In the optional's brochure it has picture's of it around the driver and passenger side vents as well as the steering wheel area, just wondering if thats a civic sport only touch or will it be in my vti also?

17" so cute in civic, it needs something bigger :D

HID cost me around $300, but free install fee, due to Xiaohung give me a hand~ YO

[dyljoy]

17" so cute in civic, it needs something bigger :D

Ya, I think the same way as well, but due to bigger rim will cost much more, so 17' will be quite balance to me, and it won't lose too much power

[Jo_e]

Addition: After i posted this morning i went out and bought a new wing. I was realli lucky to find this one that actually fitted. Its currently NOT PAINTED...so yeh..its meant to be white.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Joey_Ip/IMG_1062-1.jpg

[dyljoy]

nice~but i think Mugen style should be better than this, just my personal opinion~ ho

[MKI4EVA]

wow.........some are starting to look the part now.

With the white one you might want to opt of a mat black rear wing.........it does suite the colour of your wheels if you go black rear wing.

[Big Head Turtle]

I spoke to the people at honda and they say if you install HID then the warranty doesn't cover anything (VOIDED) that has been caused by the installation of the HID lights... (basically like electrical problems) but the warranty is still good for all the other stuff that has NOTHING to do with the installation of the HID lights.

There's no definitive yes/no answer (at least from a legal perspective) but chances are, if you came up with some hugely expensive/lengthy/time consuming problem, then they'll use that line on you so that they aren't liable to help you fix it (at least not for free)- but I'm inclined to think that for the sake of upholding their reputation, they'll help you out provided it's not unreasonable. This is of course subjective.

[JaCe]

Finally got my grille installed (I know I'm slow jo_e) and noticed there's a huge gap between the top and the bonnet.

But after reviewing the official mugen grille in JDM Concept, it's apparent there's a gap there too. Only difference is it's painted black (whereas rest of grille matches car colour) so it's not so obvious;

PS: To install this grill, do u need to take off the front bumper?

[Jo_e]

No. You dont need to take off the front bumper, but you do need a extremely small phillips screwdriver to take off the honda grille. There are 2 screws which cannot be reached with a normal sized Phillip head screwdriver.

it's quite easy to do the grill
when i installed my HID, i did accidentally uninstall my grill too so yeah it's not that hard.

:D

[dyljoy]

Sounds great~yeah

[Whispaa]

Not sure if this is a silly question or not, but here goes :P

Is there a different back bumper bar besides the original Honda one?

JaCe - How long did the ordering/deilvery take for your grille? Looks nice buddy, you've convienced me to wanting to get one :)

I know you guys say it's easy to install, but is that easy for people who are familar with car maintainence? I've only lifted the bonnet of the car and nothing else :P

[Whispaa]

I think it might look better as it is? Kinda takes away the effect if you blend it in by painting it black. Thats what I think anyways :)

I know you guys say it's easy to install, but is that easy for people who are familar with car maintainence? I've only lifted the bonnet of the car and nothing else :P

I'm in Malaysia atm and have seen a lot of cars with modified grille- by painting it same colour as car and letting it blend in, it looks VERY VERY SPORTY (refer to the official mugen civic pictures and you'll see what i mean). The main reason I didn't paint it yet is because I'm looking at other grilles here in Malaysia/Singapore for the Civic.

As for installation, took me a very long time because of stupid complications;
eg. Didn't have a small enough screwdriver to fit in hole, couldn't get the pop-screw (not sure what proper term is; but they are the screws which Honda uses which don't need a screwdriver to be removed), etc...

If you're lucky you could probably do it in <30mins, but for me, I couldn't get the pop screws to come out. Some ppl just damage the screws on purpose because it's easier and you won't be using them again after switching grille anyway, but I wanted to be able to install my original Honda grille in perfect condition so I did it without damaging the screws but taking a whole lot more effort (Note of irony: I did it without damaging the screw, only for 2 of them to fall down and get lost somewhere in the bay...)

Also note- this was my first time opening up my car. Quite daunting actually. I've never been any good at DIY stuff either.

Warning about the grille: with the parts you get with it, it's not very strong at the bottom (at least not in my replica grille). There's a hole for you to affix a screw at the bottom to the bumper (using the original Honda grille's slot) but you need to use your own screw and I haven't gotten round to doing that since I came overseas. I think that will make it very stable- if you live nearby (Sydney) then you're more than welcome to check it out whenever we're both free.

As for delivery and so on... took less than a fortnight from the time I transferred money via Paypal. Quality is alright, but probably not as good as original Mugen part.

Hope this helps
jeff.
ps. Jo_E also has this grille installed on his car, but his is colour-coded so it looks very good. He also installed his own mesh.

EDIT: Forgot answer your question about the rear bumper bar... in the Mugen/Modulo kits, it's just an underspoiler. Have yet to see any aftermarket ones here in Singapore/Malaysia- just a lot of Mugen kits.

[JaCe]

Btw just to add something (this connection very slow so can't be bothered waiting for edit); the difficult bit is removing the SILVER CHROME section (with the huge H badge) from the car because of the upside down pop-screws. If you removed the bumper, I'd imagine this job would be CONSIDERABLY EASIER since the screws could be upright... or you'd be able to see them at least.

[Jo_e]

Some ppl just damage the screws on purpose because it's easier and you won't be using them again after switching grille anyway

LOL...some people...meaning me aye? well, just for ur info, i put back the original grille without a problem even without the screws coz its held on by the top bumper guard. I found there are alot of unesscary parts in the civic...not to say to remove everything, but yeh..EVEN if you break the screws you can get new ones from honda :D as you have done.

Btw, please return the small screwdriver i lent you asap. Gf'z dad needs it back =P

[dyljoy]

hoho, i will install my aftermarket grill soon as well, as u said, take off the bumper may easier to install it, hoho

LOL. I wonder if those 4 screws help keep it from rattlin at highe speeds? I wouldn't be surprised if it might be related to the structural rigidity (ie. safety!) of the car... *shrugs*

As for screwdriver- sorry forgot to give it back before I left. Will return it on Monday (when I get back) if you're around.

Japanese Type R. Dont know if oz will get it or not. American's have the civic SI which is different looking to our civic's.

[dyljoy]

Got my front grill just now, may install it tonight, can't wait~

[JaCe]

1. That's a replica kit which is prob why not clip on so easily? I'm basing this on the missing Mugen badge off the rear wing on the right. There are A LOT of Mugen Civics here and I'd say around 50:50 are original:replica.
2. Just FYI, Civic FD1 Mugen Kit (official, painted, shipped from Japan) incl. front underspoiler, rear under, side skirts and rear wing costs $3800sgd + approx $700sgd shipping to Australia; which equates to $4500sgd (according to XE.com, around $3711aud).
3. The gauges look stupid IMO. All he's done is duplicate everything else; and IIRC, there's no manual model offered here in Singapore so why bother with all the guages? Also note that (upon closer inspection), that's the 2.0L with paddle shift.

[Civic^^]

gauges are prob oil temp, oil pressure, RPM,
looks pretti good imo

[Bob san]

where did you guys get your replica grilles from? ebay? and is the quality any good?

[dyljoy]

ordered from SG, quality just fine, i will take photo once i done it

[dyljoy]

Japanese Type R. Dont know if oz will get it or not. American's have the civic SI which is different looking to our civic's.

hey Jo_e, some Q's about install the front grill, do i need some double tape to stable the grill's bottom? or just stable by original upper clips?

[Jo_e]

hey Jo_e, some Q's about install the front grill, do i need some double tape to stable the grill's bottom? or just stable by original upper clips?

Well you dont really need double sided tape coz im not a big fan of tape on cars. You can if you want but the original upper clips should be fine just to hold it in. If you realli realli love the grille and never wanna replace it ever agen and want to stabilize it permanently use acralite or how ever you spell it.
Just double sided tape tends to melt in the oz sun esp in summer.

PS. SG *** Styling parts...not recommended. Their goods are somewat dodgy imo. You will most likely find a huge gap between the bonnet and the grille and that the grille will not be a perfect fit. Tell us how it goes. =]

where did you guys get your replica grilles from? ebay? and is the quality any good?

Me, Jace and it seems Dyljoy got it from SG car styling...but refer to above post, really not recommended. I've had sh*tloads of problems with mine. Ebay there is a guy from taiwan selling for around the same price. Type "06 civic" and it should be there. Never tried it but could be better?

gauges are prob oil temp, oil pressure, RPM,
looks pretti good imo

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.

Bingo, i got it from SG car styling, and i ordered come with painted in blk(due to i am lazy). See how's going once i got a extremely small phillips screwdriver, then i can set it up. but i think the painting quality just so so.
