[kman2k]

20K ?? --> 1 more FD ?..lol
remind me, read in newspaper, his wife bought porsche cayenne, 275K and then, extra this and that(ceramic disc,DVD,etc), total 325K.
50k jumped up --> nearly 1 BMW 320i..lol



20k USD only half of FD in VN mate ... Car price in VN always cost 2 times more compare to Australia price..:confused:... A toyota camry is about 70k USD in VN :thumbdwn:

all the ozhonda member that install mugen bodykit by themself. this might sound a silly question but with the silicon i got, in which parts of the kit do i need to apply it or will that be strong enough if i only use 3m double tafe and screws? FYI most of the time i travel on M5. cheers

[black8thgen]

double tape and screws are fine id say, but im gettnig it done with the glue most body kit shops use.. a lot simpler i guess

[ktvin09]

I bought the 221 but didn't use it cause I heard that the only way to get rid of the stain left behind if you want to remove the kit, is to repaint the bodywork...

[kupang]

black8thgen:
which glue are you talking about? should i apply in all part of the kit or just in several places? any guide on applying the glue/silicon? heheuhe im totally noob

where can i get the glue from?


ktvin09: thanks for the info, eventho i didnt know whats 221 hehe

for the front lip, i used double adhesive tape only + 2 self-tapping screws on the front guard part of the front bumper.

side skirts, double adhesive tape all along the side, 2 screws at the front guard (through the 2 holes that exists for the mud flaps) and 1 screw at the rear guards (had to drill a hole :()

rear lip was the easiest. 2 screws (existing on the car) at the rear guard part of the rear bumper, 4 clips under the bumper and double adhesive all around.

i didn't use any glue but feels solid enough mounting for me.

not sure where to glue it if ever.

[rene]

yea that sounds right..I got mine installed hehe to lazy to do it my self.
painted and installed for 410. I thought its pretty cheap and the job was awesome.

How much you guys paid for it? (those that asked the pro to do it)

[ej20i]

i riveted my side skirt as i lost one during high speed when i had just screws.

[kupang]

thanks mate! looks absolutely awesome!!!!!

anyone thinking of selling their rims???!!?

[denot]

hmmm not really a fan of the FN2R rims... but car looks good though...

[kupang]

let me re-think again. it's not 4 screws, about 6 screws.
3 outside and 3 inside.
the inside ones, you have to slide to front to get 1 screw and slide back again to get another 2 screws (if i'm not mistaken..lol)

i tried to unscrews every thing ended up with broken handrest , it didnt want to slide back and forward also the hand rest wont lock anymore. does anyone know a place to fix it? hahha very stupid i guess

[Stig]

thanks Stig.. really nice car. so nothing bad at all using this wheels?? do you need spacer? any scrubbing?

is that stock high? or lowered? by how much?

Nah, nothing bad so far... had the euro lux rims fitted beforehand, no issues there. If the euro lux and the fn2r rims are around the same offset, there shouldnt be a problem, thats what i though, seems to be correct.

only crap thing about these wheels are they are heavy, you will notice it if you're driving a manual

lowered on eibach sportlines, approx 1.4" drop.


@ stig: how much did it cost u to get ur ep3 rims sprayed in black? and is it amatt finish with spray coat? thinking of doing mine in white =D

I sprayed the rims myself, 2 coats primer, 2 coats gloss black, 2 coats clearcoat, cost me like 150$ in spraypaint. My mates are getting their rims powdercoated, costing them like 360$ for all fours.


thanks mate! looks absolutely awesome!!!!!

anyone thinking of selling their rims???!!?

Im selling the black ep3r rims :p PM ME! :D

[black8thgen]

if u paint them white, i'll swap them for my fd2 rims =D. hehehe.

ahh 150.. that sounds pretty good. except someone before said they got it done for 50.. powdercoated.. i cant actually believe that though lol..

oh yeah btw: how much were your eibach springs? and whered u get them from?

[Stig]

LOL, nah, too much effort to paint them in white...

ebay, those automotive stores in america, paid like 450 for them I think back then when the dollar was alright. NOW I think your looking at like 800-900 for a set.

[Sherweeeny]

Running 215/45/17 Toyo T1R, grab a set of Potenza RE001 when they are on special, does wonders =D

[black8thgen]

hey stig: do you know how much paint work id need if i wanted to paint the ep3 rims in white? =]

cheers

[ks_b]

can someone suggest me tyres brand that will fit FN2r rims? I will be using the car just for street use... not on track or anything like that. where can i get good price for typres in melbourne?? how much am i looking at? I saw on k mart catalog.. 17" are 200+ already!!

[Stig]

hey stig: do you know how much paint work id need if i wanted to paint the ep3 rims in white? =]

cheers

i guess you need to clean the rims to remove dirt and grime, sand down the rim with sandpaper so the paint will stick, start with something rough then finish with something fine so it will have a smooth finish.

cover the tyre with newspaper or something so that you dont spray your tyres white...

chuck some primer on, can be ne colour, since your doing it white, maybe choose grey as the primer colour so when you do the colour coat, you can see which area you have missed or what not.

wait till that dries, spray on your colour of choice, wait till that dries, spray on some clearcoat if you wish. 2 coats for each step should be sufficient.

OR... just buy someones white ep3r rims and transfer the tread from your current rims and sell off the fd2 rims =D

[black8thgen]

oh yeah somehow i didnt think of buying someone elses white rims.. lol =.=..

haha alright thanks for the help mate =D

[rk 86 wa]

Went to dyno day today, only mod is my crappy simota intake and got 101.6 fwhp lol.

[ej20i]

wow thats pretty good!!!!i wanna chek mine out

[rk 86 wa]

yeah i remember reading that someone got 85 or so fwhp on here a while ago.

also this is on a dyno-dynamics dyno.

[FallenAngel]

Rene --> what size are those rims? Also, is that front bumper the american version with triangles and round fog lights? carbon fibre bonnet?


Also, anyone know where to buy Rays brand rims from in Oz?

JDM Yard / Mu Secret / Proconcept etc.. there are a few around...

Any sort of tyre brand can suit any rim. It all depends on what profile you want. If its 17" then your more than likely gonna go for 215/40/17. I wouldn't get anything under $400 a set but thats just IMO


Went to dyno day today, only mod is my crappy simota intake and got 101.6 fwhp lol.

Nice although do u know how much if it was ATW? I'm looking to dyno my car again...

[FallenAngel]

yeah i remember reading that someone got 85 or so fwhp on here a while ago.

also this is on a dyno-dynamics dyno.

That woulda been me although that was 80.8Kw at the wheels (Stock). Also was on dyno-dynamics dyno

[rk 86 wa]

ah^ thats the one, thats rougly the same numbers.

and that was 101.6 hp at the wheels

[black8thgen]

does anyone know how much 08 fd2 rims basically brand new would sell for? =/

[bodaas]

which fd rims are you talking about? just keep it and get another rims, so when you sell the car you still can use the original rims back.

i thought you said you would get rims from overseas

[black8thgen]

sport rims, the enkei ones. yeah.. but i'm short on cash haha =[.

yeah that was the plan at first, but there some hassle involved =/.. looking into some ce28 reps here, or white ep3r rims lol =D

[bodaas]

what colour is your car

[black8thgen]

nhbp. why?

[black8thgen]

anyone know the thread size on wheel nuts for our fd civics?

[ks_b]

which is the best place to get tyres in melbourne?? need it for fn2r rims 225-40-18.
looking at Nankang NS2 or Falken FK452.

[ej20i]

its the 1.5 bro

[JaCe]

my bro rang me from singapore yesterday,, he passed so many fd2R yesterday on the road
but he couldnt find at least one fn2R.. lol,,,

FN2R's should be quite prevalent there as it is sold officially there IIRC.

[rene]

Guys please give me your final update of the upcoming FD meeting.

Just a simple yes I am coming or not would be great. I need to organize some foods now.

The link is listed below cheers guys

[bodaas]

FN2R's should be quite prevalent there as it is sold officially there IIRC.

i reckon it isnt prevalent as much as fd2R,
he has seen silver, white and black one in a day. :D

[bodaas]

nhbp. why?

what colour is that?

[ej20i]

Night Hawk Black Pearl

[dannybubu]

anyone heard of the brand K-sport? is it any good? compare to skunk, teins, cusco etc...where does it stand?

[black8thgen]

havnt heard of k-sport =/..

and yeah bodaas my car is black.. why?

[azn_ek]

k-sport stands with D2, racing logic and G4
made in taiwan... enuff said, not comparable with tein, cusco and jic etc. if u want sumthin hard and stiff, go with ksport, but with the same amount of support, it wouldnt offer the comfort like cusco, tein and JIC or other jap brand coilover.

[SaBReT00tH]

anyone know if u can get 40 profile tyres for 19 inch rims?

Car came with 195/65/15 originally and currently have 215/45/17, and was hoping to maintain sidewall so my ride isn't much bumpier than it is now by getting the 40 profile.

[FDCivic]

so far i have:
-full mugen replica kit (grill, front lip, side skirt, rear lip, mugen visors, wing)
-aftermarket fog lights
- k-sport coilovers
-18" black rsgt's
- cusco front strut bar
- 2.5" half exhaust
-darkest legal tint
- 8000k HID

future plans: CAI

k-sports are great on the softest settings. On this car, if you get 18" rims (225/40/r18) make sure u don't lower it too much just in case of wheel arch scrape. These coilovers matched with good tyres like my BF-Goodrich g-sports make a great cornering package IMO.

[.k.]

^^ Charlie? It's Khoi :) Talk to you on msn about the cai cos i've been researching and come up with an alright idea haha.. ie - either taking out resonator etc and just having a pipe run down to fog light area as an intake and changing panel filter or trying to keep stock airbox and get a pod inside so it still looks stock =P

[ej20i]

ive done that...i took my resonator out and run a piping down to the foggies area with my stock box and mugen drop in filter...

[.k.]

oh awsome, was it hard? (pics?) i saw a diy on the singapore fd forums but i cant remember if it shows exactly how to take the resonator out.. i dont think it could be that hard but yeah.

how much did you pickup the drop in filter if you dont mind me asking? and do you think its possible to have the stock airbox, or use a different stock airbox in order to get a pod inside and make everything look stock?

how do you find the comfort of the ksport coilovers? is it reasonable if you have it on a stiffer setting?

[FDCivic]

nah i'm not charlie, i'm his younger brother. he owns the euro, your idea sounds pretty good though. I heard from charlie that u got a new body kit. what sort?

dannybubu, the comfort on a stiffer setting were okay, but got me pretty annoyed sometimes on our crappy aussie roads. It really depends how stiff you want to go, gotta keep adjusting it until you find your ideal settings. I gave up awesome handling for comfort; not as if i'll track with my car for a while. However, these coilovers would be perfect for track use as the surface would be way more smoother.

[eleejay]

FDcivic, do you have any pics of your car?

[FDCivic]

yea, theyre on this forum somewhere. check in members gallery. its the black one

[eleejay]

yea, theyre on this forum somewhere. check in members gallery. its the black one is this david?

[dmx]

i tried to unscrews every thing ended up with broken handrest , it didnt want to slide back and forward also the hand rest wont lock anymore. does anyone know a place to fix it? hahha very stupid i guess
my net was down :thumbdwn:
note: this handrest can't be broken, u just need to re-assemble it properly to make sliding. see properly, see carefully, think logically how possible it works, and assemble it, good luck.:thumbsup:

[markCivicVti]

yea, theyre on this forum somewhere. check in members gallery. its the black one

Lol... "the black one"

Thats like 80% of FDs - including mine

[FDCivic]

ok then, its the black one with the full mugen kit and 18" rsgt's.

i have just uploaded 2 new pics for those who are curious to what my car looks like.

they are the 1st 2 pics up in the civic/crx gallery

[eleejay]

lol oi david this is eric..bought my ep3 rims a few days ago ;)

[FDCivic]

lol oi david this is eric..bought my ep3 rims a few days ago
u serious, how do they look. white on white would look hot with those red honda centre caps. how much did they cost?

[eleejay]

haven't put them but cleaned them today...and still gotta buy tyres for them...bought them for $600 with a few paint chip marks...but barely noticable unless you look really closely

[black8thgen]

black or white mate? damn 600 for a set seems pretty sweet, although with new tyres ull prob pass the 1k mark hey =/..

[ekdez]

depends what tyres u get.

[eleejay]

black or white mate? damn 600 for a set seems pretty sweet, although with new tyres ull prob pass the 1k mark hey =/..

there white...so was thinkin about putting whiteout over teh small chip marks...not to sure how'd it would go though...but yeah i probably definately will go pass the 1k mark. Sorta wished that i could find the rims with a set of tyres for under 1000 though...

[Stig]

i am currently running a set of euro sport wheels on my fd...it rides nice..offset doesnt look so nice..but handles well..and looks..better than my hubcaps..hahah

previously i was running a set of 19" rims..using 245 rears and 235 fronts..

im using coilovers and well..i have not much inner guard lining left..on the fronts..and had to get my rear guards rolled as well..only to find that the plastic covering over the fuel filler has been worned away..

even after all that..carrying passengers was a hassle..i wouldnt reccommend using that combo..but damn..i think it looked nice..

getting my front and rear guards rolled tmr morning so hopefully the tread doesnt eat too much of the plastic coverings after that :thumbsup:

[ej20i]

[black8thgen]

nah.. sorry rene tmrw im busy =[.

[FDCivic]

bodaas,

does ur rims ever scrape the inside of your guards when cornering hard? my car's way higher yet it still scrapes on 18's

[black8thgen]

wow fdcivic does it really scrape on 18s? whats offset and width of ur rims mate? and how low is ur drop?

and im pretty sure bodaas' scrapes, ive seen a pic of his guards.. and they've been rolled and its scrubbed like all the paint off the inside part lol =/

[FDCivic]

theyre 225's so 22.5cm's. umm not too sure bout the offset tho but it looks perfect. sticks inside the guards by round 4mm. the cars around 14cms above the ground from the front with the mugen lip. it only happens when turning left tho but not when turning right.

[bodaas]

bodaas,

[jem.142]

hey DMX just wondering for tha V-lip, do u need those 2 fang things on the underside of the front lip to bolt it on because i kinda already cracked one on my first day of being lowered =[

[rene]

well for my vlip the lip sits perfectly fine hence the lip has these 2 curves to bypass the fangs. so if your fangs gone thats even better, not sure with dmx's. hey dmx how much for the aromatic thinge again?

[jpestrada115]

too much hahaha.

ahh thats too early lol... so anyone know how much blacking out the grill costs?..

i blacked out my stock grill using satin black K&H bumper and trim paint DIY style. costed me less than $20 all up.

i you prefer NHB, here's an idea of the cost (i recently DIY-painted my mugen replica kits so familiar with the prices from Autobarn where i got all my painting materials from):

- 1 x plastic primer spray can = $16
- 1 x mixed spray can NHB = $30
- 1 x clear coat spray can = $16
- sandpaper, 800, 1000 and 1200 grit = $1,25 each

hope this helps.

Can you tell us a bit more about the mirrors folding in electronically? AFAIK it requires motor assembly and fitment. I also thought it was more important that they fold only when you push a button in the dash as opposed to automatically closing after you park because something might get hit (very very very unlikely), but not a big issue because I think I can survive with it! Anyway please let us know.

Black8thGen... that might be me with the calipers...

http://a6.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e800040109d07b7cae000e-500pi


The honda writing is a decal... I covered over it with clear engine enamel to try and make sure the decal doesn't come off too easily.

[black8thgen]

Ahh i see. Did you cover the whole caliper with the clear enamel? or just the decal part?

where'd you get the decal btw =D.

cheers

edit: damn those eyelids look hot =O.

[markCivicVti]

the whole caliper... to also protect the paint from fading/coming off...

The decal is from some place in the UK

[black8thgen]

btw mark what paint did you use for it?

[ekdez]

oo sky blue calipers sound nice. maybe i might do it too depending on pic's.

[black8thgen]

haha yeah.. well here's just blue: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn264/pbandy/DSC01224.jpg

soo i guess picture that a bit lighteR? =D. looks nice in my head haha

[black8thgen]

at mark: what sort of paint did u use? did u just get some caliper paint from like a local autoone or something? or did u use like one of those expensive duplicolor things?

[markCivicVti]

Yo, nah just a "cheap" one from autobarn... which you may or may not have in sydney.

VHT I think was the brand.. and is caliper specific paint. As I mentioned before I then put a layer of clear engine enamel on top to hopefully keep the decals and paint together.

[black8thgen]

ah ok cheers buddy. btw how long has the paint lasted? any fading of any sorts? chipping?
annd did you sand down the caliper first before painting over?

andd do you by any chance have the dimensions of that decal? =]

thx again mate.

[.k.]

damn those blue brakes look good..

[black8thgen]

starting to decide against blue calipers.. due to the fact i REALLY want white rims... and ive asked a few mates.. they say blue on white will look a bit odd =/... anyone here wanna share their opinions on light blue calipers with white rims? =D.

as opposed to that - thinking of going black calipers, white rims, black wheel nuts. but yea jus wanna know if ppl think blue with white rims will look a bit off or not =/

[markCivicVti]

Black is a definite no.... UNLESS you have a decal on it to add a contrast... IF you do have a decal DO NOT go bremobo or type R or I will laugh at you :)

Blue and white imo is ok... but personally I don't like blue at all... not that much of a spoon kinda guy.

Red & white is win imo.

[black8thgen]

Yeah was thinking black and HONDA decal =D. just like urs hehe. ahaha nah not gonna do things like that lol..

hmmm.. yeah but eeveeryone has red =[, just want something a little different.. but not too crazy lol.

cheers for the opinion though buddy =D

lol spoon calipers... dont we all wish we could afford that

[xqwzit]

well even if you get a nice set of rims and good tyres its still 2k+
with our ep3 rims which is good enough and shitty stock brakes i rather upgrade the brakes than rims and tyres

[black8thgen]

but really theres no need to upgrade brakes, not gonna be tracking it and tbh for road use im not too fussed about the brakes.

[FallenAngel]

Regardless if used for track or not i'd invest in some decent brakes as they are the ONLY thing allowing you to stop. Although the stock brakes are fine for just road use as they are designed to do that IMO

Get decent tyres and you'll be good..

[black8thgen]

yeah.. i reckon stock brakes on my fd2 are fine.. dont experience any lag in the brakes or anything like that.. but then again its still basically new.. so maybe later when things start to go wrong i might invest in some new pads or something.. but for now id rather spend that money on a good set of rims + tyres prob.

[rene]

Rice not race! lol "raise pinky finger"

[.k.]

yo black8th gen, do you remember exactly what paint you used? those blue brakes are growing on me :)

[black8thgen]

haha nahh mate those arent mine. thats a pic from a DIY guide here on the forum =]. Was just showing ekdez what it looks like with a blue like that, but i believe he just used some normal caliper paint in 'blue'.. ive heard most ppl use VHT stuff, and others use duplicolour which is more expensive. =D.

[rk 86 wa]

Semi slicks + endless ccx pads = damn good braking.

[ej20i]

you wad would be mad...blue brake calipers and paint the pads yellow or the other way around would be cool too

[danjoy25]

Re painting brake calipers, would it slow down the cooling process and might affect braking as it might generate more heat than normal.

[ekdez]

everything has a consequence..
i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[markCivicVti]

Re painting brake calipers, would it slow down the cooling process and might affect braking as it might generate more heat than normal.

I painted mine a little while ago... after a "normal" drive when I touch the calipers (brake shoe) they aren't very hot at all. Haven't tried after spirited driving... but the brakes don't have a problem cooling down... also having rims with big gaps between spokes might help cooling the calipers.

[ks_b]

hi all,
what warranty will i void if i change the wheels? I really wanna change but i just got the car new. so i am hesitate in changing it and void the warranty.
I am current have a set of FN2r rims, but i need to get a set of tyres which will cost me heaps... would i void warranty if i use Fn2r rims? since its still honda parts?

If i change the wheels and i bring it into service, would dealer keep a record that i have change the wheels? coz I will be keeping my stock wheels and change it back when i want to resell the car, so if the keep the record then no point keeping the stock wheels then?

thanks

it says that they are door mirror Covers with LEDs and specifically for the FDs.
i can see that they just slip over the top of the side mirrors, but is the LED just there for show or does it indicate as well, like the side mirrors on the civic sport?

Dunlop Formular - r S compound.

Man got some videos to post up but semis grip like crazy. Will never race on street tires again!!

I have yet to try semis on the track and i'm looking forward to it when i do as street tyres don't give you the grip around corners at the track =[

1.1k for RE001.... don't think i can afford that... not soon anyway lolz. Just got a parking fine as well T_T ... lesson learnt to read all the signs before you park!!!

hows your driveshaft etc coping with this? or have you replaced with with more heavy duty stuff?

ps your sig is lame, i went through the thread, and e-ganging up on people is just lame.

[.k.]

Drive shafts are coping fine, as long as you aren't practising full launches (on hill climbs where you start from a stationary position 4k seems optimum for me, anything above and i just smoke the shit out of the tires.) and on rolling starts such as circuit racing it seems to be all good.

Videos being uploaded to youtube later when i can be bothered.

Ps. Bodass is a douche.
