also check where the fuel tank is, it could be the tank is more on the right side which just adds a bit more weight.

shipping from jap can cost you up to 700-800 buxs depends one how big is the item.....they dun count weight on bulkie items....they count on size......thai and taiwan may be a bit less......$1800 sounds a bit pricey......unless its a geniune product......if anyone after geniune product I can certainly get a price for you......as I get my stuff from jap direct...

TurBIce
14-12-2008, 07:20 PM

Yeh they are Samurai lenso's SC-03x 19" i got them from jaxx tyres in thornleigh,
Not worth going to tempe or taleb tyres when you know u r just going to get a cheaper deal from these guys..
Plus last time i went tempe they treated me like shit and if i was the biggest retard ever...
Not to bag anyone out but here are the price differences...
Tempe w/ kumho ecstasy tyres - $2799
Bob Jane w/ Falken 451 tyres - $2589
Jax Quickfit w/ Falken 451 tyres & lock nuts - $2100

ive never dealt with taleb tyres before...
Im not saying any of these places are bad, they all sell good products just saying much sure you know you are getting the best price possible price before you buy anything..
Look at how much i saved in the end...
I mean when i rang back tempe to see if they could match the price they told me i was lying and blah blah so i was like stuff u then doesnt bother me u think im lier...

Does your right side sag more than the left.

YESS i thought that was just a problem with my car... the rear right sits a finger lower than the rear left

22-12-2008, 06:58 PM

yupe. just install my undercarriage cover, put the handbrake on.
jacked up the left side,after finish, move the scissor jack to right side and CANT fit. means right side slightly lower than left side.
like dannybubu said, coz the handbrake on.;)

black8thgen
26-12-2008, 05:05 PM
anyone got problems with scraping under the front/rear/side bumpers? like on steep driveways etc.. its such a painful sound =[. anyway of fixing it? or is there no point since its underneath?

liquid23
26-12-2008, 08:40 PM
go slow on an angle? so like just as the wheel is coming down the slope control with the brake so wheel just gently slides down.
unless your car is that lowered that it just can't be helped just park on the side of the road :thumbsup:

Maybe its because the weight transfer to the other side so it's settled lower. then when you come around, its noticeable.

only practical way to check is by measuring it after a short drive on a level road.

black8thgen
27-12-2008, 04:16 PM
uhhh ive got a weird problem....

i just noticed today under my car mats... its SOAKED.. only passenger side.. in a concentrated area.. its REALLY wet.... i dunno what the hell happened there, at first i thought it was a leaking bottle. but i checked the bottle and its full still... then i thought it was water splashing in from the fenders.. but i checked fenders and their all tight and no gaps or anything...

so now ive come to the conclusion.. its the A/C unit leaking out water... but im not sure where it is because the leakage is only in the bottom left hand side of the foot well area... and fills up about 1/2 of the whole surface area... if anyone has any ideas or had the same problem... wouldnt mind some help =]. cheers.

edit: BTW: does anyone have the MTEC halogen bulbs in for headlights on their car? and if so.. which one have u got, and are they really bright like in the pics? looking into getting a pair of these.. my narva ones are still an ugly yellowy colour =.=

markCivicVti
27-12-2008, 05:44 PM
MTEC bulbs are rubbish IMO... have a set of the blue ice ones (not sure of name any more)... look bling bling but can't see crap lol.

black8thgen
27-12-2008, 05:48 PM

27-12-2008, 05:53 PM
yea. i had the mtec bulbs.. what a waste of $
but its weid. i was driving for awhile. n it became REALLY bright.

black8thgen
27-12-2008, 07:39 PM
haha nah we've found out that its the aircon hose that seems to be blocked off and it drips down into the footwell lol.. should be an easy fix though.

hmm what bulbs would u recommend that are pretty bright then.. with either a full white bright light or a bluish tint like those mtec...? and arent like those raybrig bulbs which are EXPENSIVE!

i used Mtec for my odc, bought 4900K, too bluish, crap. changed to 4300K, looks ok. pure white. only $30 :) can't compare to HID or diamond/blue vision.
bright or not, it depends. looks ok if compare to stock, but don't compare to HID/Philips - PIAA;) for that range of price, i highly recommend Mtec.

only available for VTI (non side air bag), VTI owner seems get more option ;)
like this example : CF door line trim

supercharger ? so u want make 0-100 from 7 sec to 4 sec ?:D
seems not available(yet), only Mugen dominator use this;)
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/jasperdmx/ozhonda/market/rear6copy.jpg

yes, leather cover(s) with 15 pcs incl. arm rest but u need to dimantle the arm rest (+all DIY). $375 with 2color option and stitches. The leather is much much much softer than civic sport leather and much more comfy when u seat on it. claimed from italian leather material and been stitched by ex Korean KIA leather seat labour :confused:


dmx nice seat cover but

stitching looks ok. all straight...lol

dmx
30-12-2008, 03:19 PM
well can i get that cf door trim for my sports still?
doubt it. sport/VTI-L already have silver line trim, u need to remove that line trim, and not easy to remove it, u have to dismantle the door trim, drill out the line trim clips...and at the end, it won't match with your inner door handle trim(silver) and door switch trim (also silver). only match and better for Vti (which no door line trim) and the one who already have CF interior trim.


is that available in real CF instead of CF-Look?
errr..nope. not much diff in weight..lol but will dig ur pocket much deeper..


it's time to convert ur car to the dominator
lol... no for this, not suitable for my age to drive the car with chunky wing..:D


thinking of doing for the rear seats for mine as i have the VTi-L :D
so u can't do for ur front seat due to side airbag ? means will be diff. rear and front ? errr.. better not doing it..;)

i think, dominator is concept car (well..limited, before Mugen RR, on 2007), less than Mugen RR. to be honest, never (or not yet ???) know ppl drive this Mugen dominator (if Mugen RR -- yes, we got a couple close to here, Sing got 1, Malaysia got 1, Indonesia got 3, HK got 5,and aussie get 0 :D)

also the bodykit, never see in the market.only type-r and jump to Mugen RR. they skip the dominator style due to more complicated rear kit (need to move the exhaust)

very nice indeed, but anyone notice to rear bumper body line is too explicit and rough? see
1. under the rear light (vertical),
2. bumper horizontal line and the meeting point between them not as a round shape, instead as a sharp point.
3. lower bumper side near the rims and also no air dam scoop

Looks very nice I like the new grill. I was wondering what's the head unit model?
I'm looking at upgrading the stock sound system to a better one without a sub though. Also what do you have under the head unit?

It's a Pioneer DEH-2050MPG $109 at JB's, I wish now I chose one with blue display to match the other gauges on dash. It's a major improvement on the standard head unit that came with the car, I originally put in new speakers thought that would make it sound better but sounded flat and not much coming out of the rear speakers. I then added a Pioneer Amp to the rear speakers it sounded nice and loud but the sound quality was terrible. With the Pioneer it sounds fantastic I don't think I need the Amp but seeing that I had already installed it I decided to keep it.. I used the old speaker frames as mounting plates for the new Pioneer speakers I just cut the centres out with a sharp knife.The original speakers had flimsy plastic frames , the new ones were really easy to install .Even the front door ones, I didn't have to take all the door panel off just unclipped the door studs closest to the speaker mountings.
In the second Din pocket I mounted a clock/temp gauge to fill up the hole a bit cost $39 at Jaycar

I just cut the cigarette lighter connection off my Temperature Gauge and connected it to the same accessory wire I used for the CD/Radio. From what I saw the centre wire on mine (+) was the black wire with silver traces on it, the negative was the plain black wire. I hope this helps

02-01-2009, 10:44 AM
oh, hmm in the plug theres no wires though, its just uhm.. at the top theres the small silver rod that sticks out (thats one terminal), and inside theres a metal piece that pops out the side on both sides which slides into the cig socket (another terminal), i cant remember which one is neg and which is pos to solder wires too =/

thats HOT. btw theres no drop on that right?

what tyres you on? 215/40/18? or 225? what toyo's are they?

aand btw is there any scrubbing or sticking out too much from the guards?

lol sry abt the load of questions :L

damnnn thats a nice looking ride haha

markCivicVti
03-01-2009, 06:34 PM
THanks mate.

The tyres are 225/40/18, yep they are toyos tranpath something or another (sorry havent really checked) with 92 W load/speed rating.

The rims are almost flush with the guards (+35 offset).. so not sure if I can lower it. My ride is stock height.. but on a very slight slope the rear sits only one finger above the tyre... so would be worried about scrubbing with passengers in the back. So far tho no scrubbing - tho i havent driven far yet on them.

Maybe I'll need to get some stiff as coilovers if i'm gonna lower it.

EDIT: It doesn't stick out enough to get done for... so +35 offset is safe.. maybe not with 8" or 8.5"

black8thgen
03-01-2009, 06:38 PM
ahh i see, that looks great though, but yeah seems there could be a problem if you were to drop it =/. im thinking of going 225/40/18 aswell when i get some rims.

since your 7.5 width with +35 fits, do you reckon i could slide in 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +43?

markCivicVti
03-01-2009, 06:42 PM
18x8 with +35 would be the max I'd try on that offset... not sure about the other offset mate. Use the offset calculator. Because it sits flush with the guards... u couldn't lower it much unless u roll 'em. And thats not something i want to do.

LOL you are correct, but i mean the shape of the civic is so awkward that a lot of stuff simply doesnt look good on its MPV futuristicish shape, making it pretty hard for modders to get it right, hence why im not really going to bother trying unless i know its a 100% CORRECT mod.

black8thgen
04-01-2009, 07:08 PM
yeah true that. although im sure everyone can agree that a full body kit including a wing (mugen or typeR) looks to be a perfect mod (well obviously since their made for the damn car) but yeah.. the rims is a big decision and can change the whole look and feel of the car i guess.

its a custom made one, bought parts from mp3car.com, ebay and computer stores in sydney, specs are:

Intel Atom 1.6GHz
2GB DDR2 Ram
320GB SATA 2.5" HDD

and then a ton of USB ports :) it also hooks into my OBDII port for engine stats and to clear codes, so i don't need to have my scangauge plugged in all the time

yipee! finally - someone from sydney will test fit the $400 kits from ebay.:)

yeah that's the starting bid price for 2-3 months now and always ends as $400 - more like a "buy it now" price.

can you PM me when you've test fitted it? wanna hear feedback about fitment. thanks.:)

agree - a bit rough compared to the real thing but still hot as hell!:D

the dominator kits are actually mass produced now in manila, philippines by a number of shops - all fiberglass at the moment though. the kit would cost around AUD1,000 - 1,500 painted and fitted to the car but doesn't include the relocation of the exhaust.

painting ? don't matt black. looks funny. just B92P and DIY, prob. only cost u 200-250:D

yeah..., BBK is the most exp in simple mods-aesthetic (note: simple mods, means not incl. engine).btw, just do one by one first.
1. rims+lowered
2. Bodykit(s)
3. BBK
and add some small things in between..:D

OOT :
we have Brabus official branch at south melb. so VIC ppl might lucky enough to spot some brabus merc:p
Brabus is like Mugen (honda) which dedicated to merc only.
only Hamman/Alpina/project kahn/ which also do mix tuning to merc/ferarri/porsche/bmw/etc
Normally porsche go with gemballa and Ferarri with novitec rosso:thumbsup:
(we also have gemballa here in QLD :D
apex and HKS is not a tuning house* ;)
*which can supply most of car parts - interior (seat-pedal-knob-etc)/ext (bodykit-exhaust-rims-susp-etc)

Dude that's bloody expensive. RM1,500 is about $650-700aud! Thanks for sharing though :) It seems there's a few shops (also in Australia) who are trying to sell the eagle eyes at a huge premium over the street price in Asia.

I bought my tail lamps from SpeedLine off eBay and have the highest regard for their quality and they offer reasonable prices (note: since I bought my headlamps, the AUD has depreciated considerably so they may not be so price-effective after all). Reason I raise this is because they also sell Eagle Eyes for RHD without the HID lamps (just the module and standard halogens- you need to buy your own HIDs).

On another note, in Singapore the shop McWell's Ventures are selling Eagle Eyes which have been tested and met the local design standards and have the approval of the Singapore equivalent to the RTA! They charge a slight premium over other shops but they can offer their customers a copy of the certification to prevent any conflicts with local law enforcement! Imagine if we had something like that here...!
