[evil_1998]

[Wayne]

nice 1.. so u drill holes into it or just double-side tape? hehe.. nice RSM there.. =)

[ej20i]

velcro..hahahha
thanks mate

[black8thgen]

anyone had experience with a sprint booster? what does it even do?

[markCivicVti]

yep, i had the sprint booster trial fitted. To be honest.. Not worth the cost. Barely any difference.

[black8thgen]

oh really? hmm fair enough. anyone got recommendations for muffler/exhausts that give some reasonable sound?

[amurray]

not bad, i still prefer the <a onMouseOver="javascript:window.status='stock';return true;" onMouseOut="javascript:window.status='';return true;" href="http://azulemule.info?v=1%2E26&ss=stock">stock</a> 3"+ dualies with the chrome tips though. Any improvements in performance from that exhaust?


There is not a huge differnace. but i can notice a small differnace.. cant put finger on it though... it sounds really nice.

[amurray]

I have the Sprint booster Fitted.. You do get much better throttle response.. lol im still gettin used to it... but can be a pain tryin to hold it at low revs... its really touchy.. there is no gain in power only response

[black8thgen]

I have the Sprint booster Fitted.. You do get much better throttle response.. lol im still gettin used to it... but can be a pain tryin to hold it at low revs... its really touchy.. there is no gain in power only response

Ahh i see, how much is it incl. installation?

and to the exhaust comment: was it a full system or just a muffler change?

[lazyboy7]

where i can get the rear wing mugen badge

[black8thgen]

on ebay mate. or one of the traders here, i think JDMconcept has them. heres a link:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63624

scroll to like half way down the page and its got like a FASHION AND GOODS section.

[ej20i]

wad is this sprint booster??

[black8thgen]

its like a thing u just connect to the accelerator pad or something like that. meant to make response better. saw a vid of it on youtube and yeah, couldnt really tell if it made any difference from the vid =/

[ej20i]

huh??okae den..will chek it out on youtube

[amurray]

it is fitted in the footwell just above the accelorator. if u buy it from a shop they should install it for free.. after all.. it just plugs in lol

My exhaust is a full engine back

[black8thgen]

ahhh i see. how much was the sprint booster? and where'd ya get it from?

[amurray]

i got it from tripple 9 Automotive here in brisbane... i think it was around the 300 - 400.. i dont pay to much attention to costs lol

[markCivicVti]

Lol... tripple nine quoted me around 500 when i tested it out.

Maybe I'll have another go at testing the sprint booster. I didn't notice it improving the response time, just changed it so that you didn't have to press the pedal as far down to open the throttle more...

[black8thgen]

lol, i can just imagine how pissed off ill get at low revs in morning traffic... my poor foot.

[amurray]

haha yea... people look at you funny when u always take off about 2k.. :P

[ej20i]

is it worth it guys??as in money wise and the benefit we get out of it??

[amurray]

to tell you the truth.. nah.. its not...the only reason i could see the need is on the track and quick response out of corners and through gears.

[black8thgen]

hahaha. i feel like getting one.. but need bit of doshhh

[ej20i]

umm ok den...but the youtube videos about it...kinda make me wanna get one...especially that fd vs lancer gt

[FallenAngel]

Post the links for vids!!

[denot]

hmmm it would be good if you dont get through a lot of traffic... otherwise its like black8thgen said, you will look silly :p

[ej20i]

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=iXPX-eJOrP8

[Wayne]

is it only for manual?

[ej20i]

nar man...for auto tranny aswell

[black8thgen]

yeah the vids on youtube make it look so quick, but is an fd really that much quicker than a lancer?.. it killed it off one gear

[amurray]

i dont kno how your supposed to see anything to do with the sprint booster in that video lol..... seems like a bit of a wank

[Sherweeeny]

instead of paying someone to put some gay mod into my car ill just pay myself to plant my foot down faster and harder?

[black8thgen]

instead of paying someone to put some gay mod into my car ill just pay myself to plant my foot down faster and harder?
hahaha, well if its 300-400 bucks.. thats a bit much just for a thing that plugs in, but u cant get as much response out of the engine just by flooring it.. ah wells.

[Sherweeeny]

hahaha, well if its 300-400 bucks.. thats a bit much just for a thing that plugs in, but u cant get as much response out of the engine just by flooring it.. ah wells.

has anyone done a lap of a specific track before and after they have installed this? i seriously cant comprehend that the gains would be over 2/10ths of a second MAX!

[denot]

so conclusion is that the driver of the lancer GT is not doing a good job :p

[amurray]

instead of paying someone to put some gay mod into my car ill just pay myself to plant my foot down faster and harder?

You have to drive with it to understand.....

[xqwzit]

few friends more malaysia and singapore with FDs + sprint booster.
it does make your car more responsive, but its not worth it getting them here.

save your money and get a better intake, cat back system etc
even brake pads upgrade, you all should know the stock FD brakes are fkn sh*t.

[amurray]

hahahahahahahahahahahah...... yea :<

[FallenAngel]

Agreed!!!

[black8thgen]

thats insane... lambo doors.. damn your really going ahead with the full mods aye. how much was the front lip? pretty interested in getting one

[Wayne]

nah there is whole cf replacement dash.. i think BYS makes one..

[tmy]

Those rims are tight, suit your car.

Would look hot with 25&#37; tint :)

[amurray]

its gettin 15 lol :)

[black8thgen]

looks hot, has it been dropped yet? or are those wheels just huuge?

[markCivicVti]

Must've been lowered I guess... or the rolling diameter has increased.

But trying to imagine a lip kit on it... that would make it look quite low.

[tmy]

its gettin 15 lol :)

dang that'll be hot. be sure to post pics when its done :thumbsup:

[black8thgen]

yeah, the wheel arches fill up really close with the rims, either their 20's or its been dropped =/.

yeah, a lip kit on that would look pretty sweet.

[amurray]

yeah, the wheel arches fill up really close with the rims, either their 20's or its been dropped =/.

yeah, a lip kit on that would look pretty sweet.

well there 20's and its been lowered a bit... but cant lower coilovers all the way due to scrubbing lol..

And not gettin a lip kit.. I have a little suprise coming Thanks to my importer. lol and its not a Type R kit :P

[FallenAngel]

I think u can lower it abit more and still not scrub because it still looks pretty high. When do u scrub? when turning or driving?

[buzz]

what coils you get... and how wide are your wheels? and also what settings did you put the dampers at?

[amurray]

There Cusco Zero GTs. there set to as hard as they go. lol.. there 8.5 wide. the problem is there offset 40.. i really need 45 or 48... im looking for a suitable rim atm

[black8thgen]

do you reckon 9 width would fit? or is 8.5 the limit for FDs?

aaand would it be an ings kit coming?!

[amurray]

haha... umm maybe lol.. ummm u could fit 9 or 9.5 with the right offset.. but i dont see the need.. lol.. umm... i kno u can fit a 9.5 x 18 with a 43 offset i think..

[black8thgen]

ahh really? its just cos im looking into these work rims which are 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears, so just wondering if it would fit without any scrubbing with a 1-2" drop lol.. gee i hope so...

[amurray]

i know this fits on FD2Rs.. im not sure about normal fds...

[ F 18 X 9.5J +40 / R 18 X 8.5J +43 ]

[Wayne]

dont forget FD2R's front fenders are slightly wider than normal FDs.. so it might be can put a wider wheels and lower offsets.. =)

oh ya.. as well as the brembo brakes.. the clearance has to be count as well.. but our FD dont have brembo brakes.. so need to be calculate wisely.. =)

[black8thgen]

urgh.. so would the fronts be for the wider ones then? and the rears take the less wide ones? this is hard to figure out..

[amurray]

i would say 8.5 would be the max.. get 45 ofset and your laughing.

[amurray]

Does anyone know What a good set of brakes would be.. im thinking 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears... somthing nice and big.. i might need it lol

[black8thgen]

i would say 8.5 would be the max.. get 45 ofset and your laughing.

damn, thats a bitch. no xd9s for me i guess =[

[amurray]

lol i was lookign at XD9s... they come in a 8.5 :P

[black8thgen]

haha yeah, except this guy whos selling them in the parts for sale section here, his got his set with 18x8 and 18x9, 2 each. which is pretty lame since the 18x9 isnt going to fit my FD..

[amurray]

wats the ofset?

[amurray]

i just looked at the post... the 18x9 would fit.. just the 18x8 would not... it needs higher ofset

[black8thgen]

oh, really? ooops. lol. damn... what kind of offset is like.. the best for FDs? around 40-45?

[amurray]

well im not 100% sure.. but most seem to be between 45 and 52

[black8thgen]

ohh i see. hmm. cheers for the help mate.

ill have to ask a shop or something about it then.

[kptn82]

I have been waiting to register for this forum for the past 2 weeks, and alas, finally allowed to post.

This is the 06' Civic we bought recently from a dealer, came with a few mods already
- Reverse Sensor
- Leather trim,
- Starcorp Racing 18" rims with 225/40/18 Nankang tyres.

My questions to all esepcially JaCe and Dmx as you two have done some nice mods is

Music
Jace - what's the OEM HU's like hook up to aftermarket amplifiers and speakers. Is it worth it? :idea:

I am looking to install an amp and 2 new set of speakers, looking at these for front speakers
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190268850250&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009

and either one of these as the amp

http://www.lifestylestore.com.au/products/car/Kenwood/4-Channel-Amplifiers/kacx40d-kenwood/

Where did you get your stuff installed? I was quoted something like $350 for just those at Lifestyle!

Lights
I bought some DiamondVisions from ebay, but i've read that they get really hot and not good, should i swap them for HIDs?

Tinting
What's a good % for a silver Civic? I want 20-25% but i don't know what that's like sitting inside, and or what type of color? Dark blue or Blackish?

Thanks guys

[black8thgen]

ill help you out with lights as im not so experienced in other areas you need so..

DiamondVisions - yes people have complained the philips bulbs do overheat and get way too hot for the glass casing (technical material escapes me). You dont necessarily need to go for a HID conversion kit, theres a trader here (LiquidSound), they sell MTEC halogen bulbs for a really good price and their great quality. heres a link:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53885

hope that helped a bit.

[kptn82]

as promised, some photos - however they're taken from Carsales as i am a bit lazy taking new ones, they look better than my photography skills anyway.

[black8thgen]

oh really? phew... i was planning on getting some because my narva parkers arent white/blue enough... looks like ill get the euroline ones off ebay then...

[black8thgen]

btw, could someone tell me which offset is perfect for a set of 18x8 or 18x7.5 rims and a 1-2" drop? i don't want to roll any guards or anything so yeah..

cheers

[LD_Mart]

well there 20's and its been lowered a bit... but cant lower coilovers all the way due to scrubbing lol..

And not gettin a lip kit.. I have a little suprise coming Thanks to my importer. lol and its not a Type R kit :P


amurray so who is your importer...i can't believe no one in the forum hasn't asked yet? LOL

[tonz]

oh really? phew... i was planning on getting some because my narva parkers arent white/blue enough... looks like ill get the euroline ones off ebay then...


forget about euroline i had a set of them and they are crap too, their not even white if thats what your after. If you want the closest thing to white without going for HIDs i recommend these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Nokya-Arctic-White-H11-JDM-Headlight-light-bulbs_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3 a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3911Q 2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem250331780691QQitemZ2503317806 91QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

the brand is nokya, i ordered a set from this guy for my mums car and they are great. I haven't got them on the honda cos i got HIDs. Have a look through his shop is stocks all sizes. Try go for Stage 2 in this light bulb as well. A bit more expensive but worth it.

[kptn82]

Further to my post, I want some foglights too, although the price Honda quoted me is way too expensive.

Does anyone know if ebay foglights are worth getting or any traders on here sell them?

[black8thgen]

Ah really? thanks mate. i'll look into it.

[black8thgen]

235/40/18 scrubs? WTF?! how low is your drop? shit.... what tyres should i get if i dont want them to scrub with 18s and a 1-2" drop?

[Wayne]

scrubs or not scrubs is depends on ur offset.. even u get 17x6.5 with 5+ offset.. it will scrubs too.. =)

[black8thgen]

soo 40 offset will scrub? damn.. cant get 35 then i guess..

[jem.142]

my 235/40/18 +40 scrape like no tomorrow ... i hear 225 or 215s are perfect
i have a 2" drop but prior to my spring install i still had the same tires and that would still scrape

[FallenAngel]

225 will scrub if you go over a ditch or bump other than that its ok.

Go 215

[black8thgen]

ah, 215 would be fine even with a drop yeah? i think the stock FD2 michellin tyres are 215/45/17 if i remember correctly, either that or 225/45/17. wow 215 would be a bumpy ride..

[bodaas]

18" rims scrub,, it could be the lowering spring too soft, wrong offset rims,

or maybe, your car really really low

[black8thgen]

so 18s arent meant to scrub really? most likely be the offset of the rim and the tyres arent low profile enough i guess.

[Wayne]

215 is for 7-7.5jj.. 225 is for 7.5-8jj.. 235 is for 8-8.5jj.. so depends on ur wheels..

if ur wheels is 18x8.5.. impossible u can use 215.. =)

bumpy or comfort ride is depends on the thickness of the tyre.. 35? 40? 45? 50?

as well as ur suspension setup as well.. BMW with 35 series VS normal hyundai on 40.. still BMW have more comfort.. =)

[black8thgen]

ahh i see. Geeze i didnt think it was THAT complicated lol...

sooo what does the 215, 225 etc realy mean? is it the width of the tyre? so like... 215/40/17 is 215 as width, 40 as thickness, 17 as size? orr?? wow im confused now..

[iversonruls]

ahh i see. Geeze i didnt think it was THAT complicated lol...

sooo what does the 215, 225 etc realy mean? is it the width of the tyre? so like... 215/40/17 is 215 as width, 40 as thickness, 17 as size? orr?? wow im confused now..

:thumbsup: exactly right

[jem.142]

18z fit fine .. its all about offset ... keeping in mind the FD2R uses 18" wheels

[black8thgen]

ah, i'll have to make sure i get some +45 or more offset then. just incase..

[Wayne]

im planning to get 19x7.5" on 45+ offset.. save some cash.. hehe.. =)

[black8thgen]

yeahh thats pretty tempting to go for 19s, im just worried it will sit too low on the arches with a 2" drop and then scrub on the arches and front fenders..

[ekdez]

the larger the wheel the further away the arch gets, cos the diameter of the wheel is growing... so the more u will need to drop the car to make the arch sit flush with the tire..

im on 19"s and i think i need a 2.5 - 3 inch drop to achieve my goal and that isnt even tucking.. well it might be on the tire.

btw springs dont alway drop to the suggested drop. its only an approx

[black8thgen]

oh yeah, that makes more sense now actually...

yeahh, the springs im getting suggest a 2", but from customer reviews they say its really about 1.4". hmm might just be right for 18s then. price is the only thing stopping me from going 19s now i guess.

thanks for the help mate.

[kazam]

u wont even notice a 1.4" drop bro... thats like a 1 finger gap...

[black8thgen]

1 finger gap between arch and tyre? thats alright.. im not looking to drop so it overlaps or anything. nothing huge... skunk2 springs so yeah... unless i can find another good brand which doesnt cost so much and can drop 2-3" ill settle with the 1.4" drop on skunk2s =/

[jem.142]

my suggested 2inch drop is barely noticeable to most people ... just dont expect your car to be "slammed" on a set of 18" or 19" or even 20"z

but i just put my springs in last week so maybe it needs time to sag

[ekdez]

best bet is coilovers.. its worth it in the long run.

[FallenAngel]

Just got mine in and its awesome!

[Wayne]

if u got a new set of spring.. it might be drop like 1.5"-2".. but after some time.. it will become lower like 2.5"-2.8".. =)

bear in mind if u use lower spring.. ur shock will tear faster than u match with stock spring.. =)

if u want the exact height.. can get adjustable suspension.. adjust to whatever height u like.. and good for long term use.. =)

[black8thgen]

hmm, cost is just worrying me atm, sort of low on cash haha.

but yeah im not wanting it to be slammed or anything. so im content with a 1-2" i guess. but i reckon 2" drop is noticeable so its alright. then theres my dad.. who dropped his commodore 4" on 19s... although i think they sit up really high at stock anyway.

[jem.142]

yeh i am expecting them to sag alot due to king springs reputation i guess well c how it goes ...

latest DEmodification: took out SRI, it was causing the Malfunction Light to come on ... my guess is temperature was way 2 high in enginebay and the O2 censor was playing up so stock box for summer it is

[black8thgen]

wow really? damn... oh well only 3 months without the SRI, then you got a whole 9 months haha. but that would be abit annoying having to take it out? thikning of getting it checked up?

hmm how long have you had the kings in for?

[markCivicVti]

Interesting... how long did you have the SRI in? My understanding is if it doesn't trigger the CEL (check engine light) within hours of first installing it then it will never.

I've had my SRI in for maybe half a yr... not sure now.

[bodaas]

my opinion kings spring alright,,, or eibach, tein,, its only couple hundred dollar its around same price,,

check ebayy

i wouldnt spend too much on coilover suspension, if you car is only for street use, or mostly drive on busy road,, stock shock absorber + aftermarket spring more than good enough,,
especially if you only want to drop few inches from standard height

just save $$$ for upgrade sounds system or buy other accesories

[amurray]

my coilovers are great.. took my 20s off and slammed my car last night.. its like 40mm off the ground.. lol.. we had to wind it back up a bit lol.. so i can get out of my drive way

[black8thgen]

hahaha. 40mm.. wow.. lol. defect notice? hahaha. any opinions on skunk2s?

[amurray]

coilovers ? i have skunk2 rear camber kit lol .. and they work :P i love the cusco coil overs.. once there set up rite.. they work really well.. u can have them as hard or as soft as u want.

[black8thgen]

ohh, well i meant skunk2 springs, my bad :L.

ah im not looking into coils, since my fd is just for daily use..

[amurray]

so is mine lol :P

[black8thgen]

hahaha. do u go track much though?

anyone got other reviews on skunk2 springs??

[FallenAngel]

In the long run, it is worth getting coilovers rather than spending less on springs now. In the long run, if your using OEM shocks, they will basically die on you because it doesn't absorb anything and you'll bounce! (which is really annoying over speed humps).

Just got my D2 Coilovers in recently and i do regret a lot on spending on the springs as its so much better and worth it in the long run to have.

Also i'd avoid tracking with just springs as the car will be much less agile as it would be with OEM sussy.

That works too...

hmm how long have you had the kings in for?

nah once you know how to take out the stock box its really simple to do ... less than 20min id say ...

ive had my springs in for about a week ... thinking of getting new tread or new rims all together because i want dish! VIP stylez


Interesting... how long did you have the SRI in? My understanding is if it doesn't trigger the CEL (check engine light) within hours of first installing it then it will never.

I've had my SRI in for maybe half a yr... not sure now.

ive had my intake for about a week before the CEL came up ... basically was running fine until yesterday afternoon ... im guessing the amount of heat soak due to engine + really hot weather was giving out really bad A/F ratios (mind u i was running the engine really hard)... but then i let the car cool down for awhile and put the stock box back in, the CEL disappeared and all systems are go ... im planing to put it back in in a few days ... and i guess we'll c what happens from there

[dannybubu]

hey guys...i've done a few DIY's and i've broken/lost some of those black clips where you have to get a flathead screwdriver and pry it out sort of thing... anyone know where/how much i can get them for? coz im running low now...and i don't want anything falling out...haha

[markCivicVti]

get it from honda spare parts. Don't remember the price but it was reasonable.

[denot]

I could measure my CF paddle if you want... it's meant to be the same as the FD2R, but don't quote me on that :P

[dannybubu]

where can we buy the wing with the cf middle part?

[black8thgen]

ebay somewhere, seen it before. but im unable to get the link atm...

[amurray]

has anyone in there travels seen a K swap kit for the FD? mounts etc?

[ryanc]

wat r ur guys thoughts on civic type r bodykit for our fd?
lame??? or ok???

[black8thgen]

looks sweet, cos its sleek. except its probably a bitch to install... fd2r fenders are wider than our fds.

[markCivicVti]

wat r ur guys thoughts on civic type r bodykit for our fd?
lame??? or ok???

As long as it doesn't have 'Type-R' badges it's fine. The moment it pretends to be a Type-R then it becomes lame. Not crash hot on red honda badges... but at least its not as bad as type-r badges.

[ej20i]

lol...got some1 at uni with a black fd2 with mugen kit all ova and type r badge with red honda badge and acura for number plate...
wad duh...
abit of confusion i say

[Wayne]

personal preference though.. just mod whatever u like.. xD

[amurray]

INGS.. lol

[black8thgen]

Where u getting ings kit?!!?

[ryanc]

yeh i dont like type r badges on non type r, looks kinda lame

but i just wna have a different kit coz every1 has mugen and type r looks better in my opinion

[FallenAngel]

ING's kit is SEX!

I'm not too sure where to source one although i was considering it when i bought the mugen... but i couldn't find it!! >.<

[black8thgen]

i have a feeling amurray is getting an ings kit from his importer.. everyone hassle him for his importer! :L

[dannybubu]

i found a site last time that sold all the kits and parts etc ...but most of it was for real type r...but the prices were way to exp.

Apparently no you can't. Can anyone confirm this?

the only internals ive seen avaliable for the FD2 is OEM JDM Civic type R pistons and rings to suit the FD2 which cost about $600 bucks from memory.

love the CF mann. where did you get the CF grill and V lip? cos i wanted as well.
please hook me up :)


update on some simple mods. CF hood and steering wheel trim. CF dash going on this weekend will upload when its done and when i'm free.

Yes that is correct

[liquid23]

love the CF mann. where did you get the CF grill and V lip? cos i wanted as well.
please hook me up :)

erm the grill and V-lip (splitter i call it) is from overseas. I could get you one but it would have to be made here and molded which is very costly. Mine is a full solid carbon piece. i'm not sure how much the plastic splitter is, but could be a cheaper option to buy that and then CF over it.
A person has pm me about just getting their normal honda Chrome part CF. Not sure if they are going ahead with the option. On the other hand don't think you can get my grill here, haven't seen it being sold.
If you start heading to making molds it would be cheaper if more people want it than just one, so they can split the cost of making the mold. Otherwise just CF over your parts.

ok here are pics of my dash that i said i would post up, getting fitted tomorrow with Alpine IVA-W502E HU connected to 500gb of hdd :D

erm.. INGS+1 bodykit only can use the sideskirts and rear bumper.. but not the front.. unless u got FD2R fenders.. hehe..


get replica, i think already on the market. btw, only mugen kit (original) can fit FD, the rest (ings/type-r/RR/wald/etc) all need to get replica for direct fitment


Buy any stuff..lol

hahaha... can't get anything, family holiday, promised not to involve in car stuff..lol
btw, i got 2 small and very tiny oppotunities...lol
1. to test drive GTR R35 (I missed Mugen RR, when i came the car been sold, but DRM boss has tested :( )---hmmm... result: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Love it.
may be similiar like HSV W427 at that price level.

[markCivicVti]

215 is for 7-7.5jj.. 225 is for 7.5-8jj.. 235 is for 8-8.5jj.. so depends on ur wheels..

if ur wheels is 18x8.5.. impossible u can use 215.. =)

bumpy or comfort ride is depends on the thickness of the tyre.. 35? 40? 45? 50?

as well as ur suspension setup as well.. BMW with 35 series VS normal hyundai on 40.. still BMW have more comfort.. =)

Sorry to quote from so long ago but I had a quick Q.

I'm looking at getting some tyres for my 18" 7.5jj rims. Now the trick is I'm running +35 offset (unsure if its definitely guard rolling territory). The trial fit without tyres looks good tho.

So to keep the overall diameter I'm looking at either 215x40x18 or 225x40x18. What would be the noticeable difference? If I wanted to drop a couple of inches (keeping in mind the offset) is it "safer" to go with the 215s? I'm guessing 215 would need to be "stretched" a little more than 225s right and hence would be less likely to scrub? So whats the actual noticeable differences?

[Wayne]

if u want the safest choice.. Toyo Proxes T1-R in 205/35/R18.. this is the super rare model available in the market.. not sure can u get in australia or nop.. hehe.. im using this tyre in my home country car.. look sexy and roxx.. =)

but since u afraid the scrubbing.. get 215 instead of 225.. for ur own good.. =)

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4836/img1987rd5.jpg Source: Google.com

or perhaps Toyo Proxes 4 in 205/40/R18.. but 35 will look lower abit.. hehe.. =)

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/8062/editedqm7.jpg Source: tech9tyres.com.au (edited abit for easier looking)

from the pics.. it shows that doesnt mean 225 is wider than 215 than the price will be higher.. the narrower.. the more expensive.. compare 205 with 225.. hehe.. =)

[Wayne]

thank you for the info. do you mind if i ask what brand was it?

i think bro rene using the Mugen RR style CF bonnet.. correct me if im wrong.. =)

Kup, Mine is Mugen RR replica, there's aircoop on the bonnet, you wont be able to see it on the picture (similar to the picture above) but I am coming over this saturday to say hello to you guys! you are most welcome to have a look..One thing that I am not too keen about the cf bonnet it self is the texture, its not as good as J's Racing but hey i like the model alot.

We are still meeting up this saturday right?


thank you for the info. do you mind if i ask what brand was it?

woah! is there a meet!?

[black8thgen]

rene whered u get ur hood from?

Made in Taiwan but I got it from Thailand.

Pics below is his car with his cf hood which is the same like mine. I like it alot because the airscoop is not as big as the others but thats personal preferences

[black8thgen]

hmm. are we able to get the same vented hood here in sydney?

[rene]

you mean whether there are other sellers that sells the same cf bonnet?

if that's the case then I wouldnt know because i sure ask ppl around before.

[black8thgen]

ahh i see. hmm. are you able to get that same cf hood shipped over from thailand? And where can we get the J's racing one?

[rene]

Heaps sellers here that sells J's racing but you are looking potentially 3K and up for J's racing and their air scoop are soo big you could suck a rabbit in or worse roos. I could ask the same guy to deliver the bonet again if you like?

Mind you delivery can be very costly because my bonnet was around 1800 delivered with DHL. So what I did was grab other items within the same delivery because the delivery was cap max so you could add all you want in the same "box".

[black8thgen]

LOL. okay thats a bit pricey..

ohhhh i see. hmm 1.8k. thats quite a bit. uhm does this guy have a site or anything?

thanks mate.

[rene]

nah..he's some guy i know off randomly from internet forums when he posted his car pics.

[rene]

thats fine mate

[black8thgen]

is the carbon hood like, lighter than the stock? like is there much point to the carbon hood?


edit: and also, with those with the mugen kit. Did your kit come with some rubber beating to go inbetween the lip kit and the body of the car? and if it did, does it seem to show a gap or anything? like is it thick rubber?

[Wayne]

of coz CF hood lighter than the stock.. but the point for normal modifier is just cosmetic purpose.. rarely people use it as performance as the CF hood u find nowadays are mixed with other material like fibre.. not 100&#37; pure CF.. =)

[denot]

isnt a pure cf hood illegal? they can get easily break to pieces when hit something rite?

[ej20i]

yea pure cf is illegal...it must be like fibreglass covered by carbon only...as i rememberd from my cf hood for my impreza.

Anything which is not from stock is illegal....no matter Full cf or not....most cf bonnet in the market is base on Fibreglass with CF cover.....Even Geniune items. Full CF bonnet are made by Dry carbon which is really pricey.....I don't believe there is any full carbon items on street in Aus atm.......:p

no a pure CF hood is illegal. if carbon is laid over a fiberglass hood, its not illegal. cops have driven pass me didn't pull me over. got stopped on the road for speeding, cop didn't say anything, all they said was "really nice car mate, but i'm sorry i have to give you this ticket" and i have alot of CF on my car

woah $1800 delivered! i think you got ripped off mate, in my opinion anyway. mine was around ~1000 cheaper also delivered. but of course mine had no vents, but still shouldn't have costed so much. i checked how much the RR hood cost and its not much more than mine.

anyways, looks great! :)

the hood it self is cheap but the delivery from thailand with DHL with that level of dimension its worth the same as another cf hood lol which is why i said the delivery is supa gay!!!!



no a pure CF hood is illegal. if carbon is laid over a fiberglass hood, its not illegal. cops have driven pass me didn't pull me over. got stopped on the road for speeding, cop didn't say anything, all they said was "really nice car mate, but i'm sorry i have to give you this ticket" and i have alot of CF on my car



woah $1800 delivered! i think you got ripped off mate, in my opinion anyway. mine was around ~1000 cheaper also delivered. but of course mine had no vents, but still shouldn't have costed so much. i checked how much the RR hood cost and its not much more than mine.

anyways, looks great! :)

yeah shipping is always expensive. But it shouldn't be that much. I got mine from Taiwan. minimum space i could get was 0.5 cubic metre for US$215! :(

don't think i want to import anymore things once i heard the shipping costs lol
more expensive to do here but turn out the same once u pay for taxes, customs, handling fee + whatever fees you inccur
