[azn_ek]

hey guys, just got my 09 civic sport, wondering if anyone know what parts can be shared between the JDM FD2R and the AUDM FD2 civic sport? cheers

In which category?

On another note, bodykits won't transfer over exactly/smoothly. You'll need to make adjustments.

[Sherweeeny]

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.

ah thats good! what would you classify as a full launch though? because any higher than 4k then it would be a burnout and not a proper launch right? ive been taking my car to the drags (trying to get the bloody thing to run into the 15's, but i consistently get 16 flats) and ive been wondering if im doing damage to anything

[azn_ek]

im looking at exhausts, intake and coilovers, will parts for FD2R fit onto our civic sport FD2?

What about the 09 FD2R vs. the AUDM FD2?
Im sure you could get it working.

I noticed on 8thcivic.com they swap over even the bonnets and fenders to get the OEM type-r kits to fit.

It will cost you in excess of $5k, prob closer to $10k to get original OEM CTR kits for it though.

Im thinking of getting the replica CTR kit for my G/F 09 vti.

[dmx]

hey..hey..hey.. back again from guantanamo bay:D


Regardless if used for track or not i'd invest in some decent brakes as they are the ONLY thing allowing you to stop. ..
agree. save 2 x my life :angel:


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.
after u upgrade ur brakes, you will notice the diff. compare to upgrade decent tyres. brakes upgrade will make your car stop at the spot where you want, guarantee!!! :thumbsup:
but if with tyres upgrade only,still make ur car little bit slide due to rotor torque


Carbon Bonnet

Resprayed V-Lip flat black

flat black --> yellow --> flat black. $$$ :eek:


im looking at exhausts, intake and coilovers, will parts for FD2R fit onto our civic sport FD2?
exhaust --> yes, but $$$=Mugen exhaust, so better get Mugen
intake --> No, need minor modif.

yes, need get fd2r fender to fit fd2r bumper to FD
better get replica, direct bolt on FD, but at the end, you still need front skirt for fd2r bumper, otherwise looks similiar like 09 FD :(
so my 2cents, just get bodykits, whatever, ings+, mugen,modulo, custom, etc.:thumbsup:


okay, now on MUGEN RR experimental spec.

ill be bound to come across ur car sometime in brissy.

Brissy FD meet!! :)

*cough cough*

[rk 86 wa]

ah thats good! what would you classify as a full launch though? because any higher than 4k then it would be a burnout and not a proper launch right? ive been taking my car to the drags (trying to get the bloody thing to run into the 15's, but i consistently get 16 flats) and ive been wondering if im doing damage to anything

I have only tried one redline clutch dump on the semis so far (to see how hard I could launch it) and the car was fine with it (was during hill climb event on a normal road surface). I would be a bit skeptical at launching hard on the drag strip though cause the level of grip is on a whole different level and very well could possibly snap something :P.

However for standard launches I am an utter noob and generally start around 4000 and modulate to 5000 depending on the surface to find an optimal rev range. Flat 16s is quite decent in our cars :P I know when I last went down with a horrid set of regals I was getting 16.2 or something crap like that launching at around 6000 cause I wanted to destroy the tyres haha.

One other thing with regards to semis is, despite what people say, I personally don't think they wear out stupidly fast. Well mine havent anyway haha. Maybe I am not driving hard enough but I cannot notice any tread loss after 2 hard driving events and putting around Collie in between.

Buy a set and see how you go next time and keep us updated :)

[aero]

Brissy FD meet!! :)

*cough cough*

well, if anyone in brisbane could meet up with me a finish off the wiring for my foglights, that would be awesome. ive had them fitted on my car for about a month, but the wiring hasnt been fully connected.:(
my friend and i got a bit confused with the wires (yes, i know its not supposed to be that hard to install) so we've left them there and kinda forgot about them. anybody be willing to help get them up and running?

[.k.]

i dunno how 2 do it but would be more than happy to come along for moral support? =P i'm gonna buy fogs after i get my windows tinted so yeah - which fogs did u get and where from / how much?

[aero]

i dunno how 2 do it but would be more than happy to come along for moral support? =P i'm gonna buy fogs after i get my windows tinted so yeah - which fogs did u get and where from / how much?

got em from ebay, The Speedline:

speaking of window tinting btw, how dark are u gonna go and how much?

[ekdez]

hey how is the fitment of those fogs.

i was just gonna give honda $620ish dollars to buy and install a set of OEM ones for me.. LOL

[aero]

the fitment is fine, looks like OEM. here's a couple of pics

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/gh3ttolov3/IMG_1692-1.jpg
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/gh3ttolov3/IMG_1694-1.jpg

like i said, ive only got them fitted, they still havnt been hooked up to any power :(

[.k.]

still researching prices, 55EXX (username on this forum) gave me a phone number of the place where he got his done - tint express or something, i'll forwad u the pm. he got 15% for 200 bucks which was not 'great' quality tint..

he's got 20% 3M tint now but cant remember how much he said it cost.. i think tint-a-car place would do it for 295 - midnight express or whatever the darkest legal they have which is 35%.. its legal but doesnt look that great, i want 20 but insurance n stuff.. :(

i'll pm u now

EKDEZ - lookup 'touge tune' i think they're called; trader here on OH and they sell oem style fogs for fd for 145!!! that's where i'll be buying them, not sure if that price includes postage..

[Stig]

hey how is the fitment of those fogs.

i was just gonna give honda $620ish dollars to buy and install a set of OEM ones for me.. LOL

Just buy them from Honda for 450 and then install them yourself, that's what I did, the install isn't that hard because they are oem and everything comes ready in the box. Including the stalk to turn on the fogs :D

[.k.]

including stalk hey.. but thats gonne be -> 450 - 150 = 300 price difference for genuine + a stalk haha.. is it the exact same stalk with the added little thing to turn the fogs off? or like an addition? - id rather a button on the side which i can flick to turn the fogs on n off but not too fussed really

how was installation for you? hard / easy? tips / diy link ? ^_^

[Stig]

Although yes it's a bit more pricy but the wiring won't piss you off when you try to install it yourself compared to the aftermarket kits. You get a brand new stalk which you replace with the old one. Install was prob moderate, just follow the instructions that is supplied and you should be fine. Took me around 6 hours to install mine but if I was to do it again I rkn it would only take like 2, I was too scared to tug at the bumper to take it off so I wasted like a few hours there. But then again if you guys aren't that fussed then just go aftermarket.

[civic_07]

^^^ yep, it'll take awhile. I got them installed on my previous Civic by a Honda technician ;) and it took him a few good hours to do everything properly.

[.k.]

^^ but wouldnt that be because they get paid by the hour? so they drag process out to make more money? or is it a flat cost to get them installed? .. is it possible to get aftermarket fogs and then go to honda n get them installed?

[black8thgen]

dont need honda to do it, if u got a mate whos a mechanic or something im sure he can figure things out from instructions if ur worried ull pull something ur not meant too..

[civic_07]

oops, didn't mention that it was done privately, he just bought the foggies fr Honda and did it at his place, around $400 for everything back in 2007. He took his time to do everything nice and neat so prepare yourself if you attempt DIY.

not sure about Honda will install aftermarket kit, some1 asked abt this b4 so do a search :).

[chupaosterz]

can u give mee the cheapest price for the 17 inch rims.......

[black8thgen]

whos selling rims? what

[aero]

can u give mee the cheapest price for the 17 inch rims.......

lolwut? where are these rims?! i want a set

[Stig]

^^ but wouldnt that be because they get paid by the hour? so they drag process out to make more money? or is it a flat cost to get them installed? .. is it possible to get aftermarket fogs and then go to honda n get them installed?

i got quoted $200 or $250 to install the fogs from honda

aftermarket just go to a local mechanic

[black8thgen]

btw does anyone know if i can hook up two neon tubes in the boot to the boot light? by soldering or however? or do i have to source it all the way through to like the front of the car?

[Sherweeeny]

can u give mee the cheapest price for the 17 inch rims.......

$34.50

[black8thgen]

thats quite reasonable id say

[ej20i]

btw does anyone know if i can hook up two neon tubes in the boot to the boot light? by soldering or however? or do i have to source it all the way through to like the front of the car?

tap it on the boot light connector man
ive done mine aswell

[black8thgen]

u mean pull the boot light out, then solder the neon wires to the +/- wires there? damn im no good with electric things =.=.

[LD_Mart]

Why do u need to solder...
Just do it dodgy rice style strip the wire a bit and connect the wires together and electrical tap them all together haha...
Or do it a little bit better..and just crimp all the wires together...

[ktvin09]

Hey man I have done my foggies yesterday! Custom 3" round shape... Got the wiring kit from Super-C for 20 bucks. It's not hard, there's a manual on the College Hill web site if you need help.

once again, nice plates:thumbsup:


hey guys...pretty new to this site but does anyone know where i can go to get the mugen bodykit done on my FD 1....been trying to find high and low and all and can;t find anywhere...i am staying in newtown/camperdown area...

i would also like to find a place to buy a replica mugen kit, tho i only want a lip kit for my fd1.
the only place i can see that has a pretty good price is the one on ebay... although i have no idea on how much more it would cost to paint it.
i think earlier in this thread, a couple of guys were picking up replica kits in melb or syd for less than $500?? if there are any more places like that, i would like to get in contact with them to see if they can freight up to brisbane.

[.k.]

hey aero, pm 'markcivicvti' and ask where he got his done. i think it was roughly 1k for l lip kit, paint, n install

[black8thgen]

wow. round foggies is freakin HOT. looks like mugen rr a bit.. or am i just dreaming =/.. btw hornsby honda - got my fd2 from there too =D

[Sherweeeny]

oh and a question - is it possible to get honda centre caps off another car and throw them on my steelies? cos you can see that the middle looks oxidised / rusty :(

dude why do u have steelies on? you do realise its illegal yes?

youd be better off spraying your hubcaps black...

[ekdez]

why is it illegal to run steelies?

[aero]

im also confused.. why is it illegal to run steelies?

[Sherweeeny]

its something really stupid like affecting visibility of the car or something like that (yes i know people have black rims which are legal) so the law is really dumb, but ive had mates who have just had steelies on and they have been pulled over and made to put hubcaps on.

[.k.]

steelies are illegal? which state are you in? wtf.. seen so many cars around with steelies and never heard of anyone getting pulled over.. =S

[Stig]

guess who got a set of tein super streets in the mail today!

*giggles like a school girl and runs away*

[markCivicVti]

How much mate? I tried getting a quote from the edward he never got back to me... also other place said tein super streets weren't made for my car lol...

[Stig]

haha i had the same problem with the fujitsubo legalis r for the fd1, one place offered them, another place says they dont make it for the civic... and i clearly showed them the link as well -_-

[markCivicVti]

Cheers, you rock :)

[ekdez]

haha i had the same problem with the fujitsubo legalis r for the fd1, one place offered them, another place says they dont make it for the civic... and i clearly showed them the link as well -_-


hey where'd u get the legalis from? and how much?
i really want one!

[Stig]

hey where'd u get the legalis from? and how much?
i really want one!

i havent got one yet, still sourcing...
you're prob looking around the 2k mark for one... :(
last time i got quoted 1440 for one, but that was when the dollar was like in the high 90s

[dannybubu]

yeh...2k mark for a branded catback sounds right...i paid 1.8k for my kakimoto regu06... -.-'...bit of a rip when you think about it...

[JPTL]

wahhh now im confused lol
so tein super street is compatible with the civic vti-l?
oh i got my mugen lip installed the other day lol
kinda dodgy :S the backs falling of ><

[.k.]

hey stig can u pm me price and where u got the teins? cheers

[black8thgen]

lol... better fix urkit up mate, dont want what happend to ej - side skirt fell off and he ran over it or something lol =/.. so yeah uhm get that fixed up buddy, drill some extra holes if u need =/..

[JPTL]

yeaaah i know :S
im getting it fixed on sat lol.

[Sherweeeny]

steelies are illegal? which state are you in? wtf.. seen so many cars around with steelies and never heard of anyone getting pulled over.. =S

maybe it hasnt caught on in brisbane..

[aero]

dont think it has... just a couple of hours ago i saw a one of those toyota yaris' from a pathology company on steelies. if they're allowed to do that, then im assuming its legal in qld

[LD_Mart]

Dont think its caught on anywhere...
hrmmm sounds like a stupid law to me...

[jpestrada115]

i took the wheel caps off immediately when i bought my VTi and ran it on the stock black steelies for 1 month and i never got flagged down by police (in QLD).

[FallenAngel]

That aint in NSW thats for sure

[ej20i]

i dont think thats even a law...wad hpnd wen ur runny ur spares???
i got dz 101 2day

[FallenAngel]

where did u get them from? Did u replace all 4 tyres>

[ej20i]

nar my kumhos only
so now im running direza up fronts and sp sport 9000 rears

[.k.]

how much did that cost if u dont mind me asking? wonder how much it'll cost if i ever need to replace tyres or hopefully i will have new rims by then but yeah..

[ej20i]

it costed me 640 for the pair

[markCivicVti]

Coming my way... will be on the ship in a week.

http://a7.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e80004011017b0d02f860e-500pi

And when it goes on I'll be likely to go from SRI to CAI... so my TopFuel zero-1000 SRI (partly carbon fibre too) will be up for grabs.. has served me well for 6mths.


http://a3.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e8000400fad6a204230005-500pi


It'll really depend on whether I'm gonna be worried about rain water dripping into the SRI through the vented bonnet... as the SRI is really quite good.

[black8thgen]

holy shiettt thats hot. looks like rene's one. the vents are just the right size. wanna pm me the price of it mate? =D

[ej20i]

pm me the price as well mate
mite consider

[.k.]

bonnet looks tops can u pm me price please champ? and we need to organise out mini-bris fd meet aand which cai you getting? ^_^

[kazam]

how's the SRI sound?

[markCivicVti]

u guys wont believe how cheap im getting the cf bonnet for...700 aud cos my supplier is geting in a conainer of stuff.

sri sounds good..i really like it but as i said.. worried about rain.

[black8thgen]

HOLY SHIT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. doesn't look like we can get a deal like that again hey? =.=... fcuk LOL.

[dannybubu]

can u order me a cf bonnet as well mate? lolz...looks hot as!

[.k.]

i think i smell a group buy.. =DDD! who's in?!

list of those interested - please copy paste and add your name if you are:

would be great to have, but i dont have that much money to spend atm :(

[Sherweeeny]

That aint in NSW thats for sure

yeah we got done years ago... maybe theyve eased up... dont shoot the messenger

[ekdez]

It'll really depend on whether I'm gonna be worried about rain water dripping into the SRI through the vented bonnet... as the SRI is really quite good.

why not just cover that side vent up. from underneath. it'd be cheaper for you in the long run.

i know it defeats the purpose of a vent but having said that...

why run a CAI if your worried about rain... running a cai your more likely to suck up water by going through a puddle..

up to you tho..

[black8thgen]

wouldnt the vent reduce the chance of heat problems with an SRI? guess u got a bit of a dilemma lol.

BTW: whats a good liquid/alcohol to use to clean my paint surface before applying badges and stickers?

[kazam]

sri sounds good..i really like it but as i said.. worried about rain.

voids your warranty but yes?

[markCivicVti]

Probably... But it's something i'll risk... My engine seems healthy and i've thrashed it like a rental car... And the sri makes it more fun :-) didn't notice any power gain but more importantly didn't lose any power either.

[FallenAngel]

yeah we got done years ago... maybe theyve eased up... dont shoot the messenger

Haha fair enough mate :thumbsup:

SRI is mainly noise as no power gain/loss occurs...

[blasdf]

stock standard civic sport my07,, picked it up on friday. will look to do some mods at some point, but for now its better than the '94 daewoo 1.5 i was driving around in.

hey, has anyone know of how to put an illuminated section around the ignition barrell? - to explain, like a circle of light which will light up when you unlock the car or something.. exactly the same as what is around the cigarette lighter :)

[aero]

dmx would know! as can be seen in his multiple youtube videos showing the keyhole light on his fd :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEgcrWTzbPo

[black8thgen]

ok i have a dilemma - i want to black out my grill - BUT my dad wants me to keep the stock grill - so he said to get an aftermarket one... ok i dont like the mugen grill, would rather have like a typeR one or one like rene's cf grill, but i want it BLACKK cos i think just a CF grill among a normal black hood etc would look out of place? Soooo anyone got any ideas on what i can do? Just want a black grill but not the stock one lol...

[aero]

shop around for another oem fd1 grille and paint that one black? LOL
or get an fd2r grille and paint that black?? i dunno... JDM Concept selling some fd2r grilles on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/OEM-HONDA-CIVIC-FD-FD1-FD2-FD2R-GRILL-RED-H-BADGE_W0QQitemZ290298106789QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_C ar_Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
$250 tho..

[black8thgen]

hmm.. i found a carbon fiber one on ebay for abt 250 including the red badges - but im not sure if just a carbon grill would look good with no carbon hood or anything?

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1057120/H0022A-005.jpg

wat u guys think?

[JOhnnyFD]

yess, i agree.. dont bother spraying your OEM stock grill, keep it aside

ive got a FD2R grill, sprayed it black matching the car colour, and put on aluminium meshes on behind and sprayed that black too.. last addition is place a genuine red H on the grill.. very nice.. HOWEVER, im not entirely too sure if the FD2R grill would fit on nice onto the OEM front bumper.. u may need to DIY to get it to fit unless u go get a FD2R front bumper.

[aero]

u can get them to fit, but u will need to have some sort of adhesive like double sided 3m tape on the bottom part of the grille to hold it securely against the oem fd1 bumper.
im looking to spray my oem grille because im just that cheap and dont want to spend the extra $250, especially after ive already bought red fd badges :p

btw johnny, what was the painting process? couple coats of primer then few coats of black spray paint followed by coats of finish? any particular brands?

[JOhnnyFD]

it was primed a few times, then 3 coats of black, then 2 coats of finish.. dont know the particular brand coz i had it done by my uncles mates

[dmx]

wat u guys think?
250 incl. red badge ? grab it.

but red badges are replicas - but i don't see what the point of having genuine red badges is anyway if i have the chance to grab some reps - and yeah the cf is genuine.

just got the email from drm on the mugen grill like rene's - 375 inc. shipping - but no red badges included.. wow thats a lot lol.

[aero]

does anybody know how to apply leather trim to the door panels of the FD? im gonna to try and DIY this. apparently ur just supposed to use like contact glue or sumthin and just glue the trim inserts over the standard ones?

does that mean, i just chuck glue on the oem door trims and slap the new ones over them? that just sounds a bit dodgy to me. is there a better way to do it? like to glue the new fabric (leather) behind the door panel or sumthin? has anyone done it before??

[FallenAngel]

All i can say is good luck :)

[eleejay]

has any1 else purchased the carbon look grill? ...tried to put it on today..but the holes for the clips sorta dont match up and the clip doesnt go all the way through...if that makes sense...

[black8thgen]

is it the mugen grill or the stock style grille but in carbon?

[markCivicVti]

My latest mod (thanks to some inconsiderate prick @ sunnybank): A nice paint chip off my drivers door :( had the car for over a year dent and scratch free.. I wanted to do the first scratch myself.. not some fat arse prick who needs half a parking space to get out of their lemon... hate car parks.

The pricks at honda parts haven't gotten back to me regarding touch up paint ... so pissed off.

[ekdez]

i still have a dent in my roof and on my bonnet.

[black8thgen]

holy crap, how fat was that person... or were they jumping all over it? =/.

[azn_ek]

first mods to the car today, celebratin the car reaching 1000km on its odometer lol. Skunk2 Radiator cap, Skunk2 short shift adaptor and Skunk2 gear knob!!! feels so much better comparing to the stock shift travel, having to reach out for the 1st gear...

[black8thgen]

wow what yr model is it lol? 08 or 09?

[Waternmo]

its a 09 FD2, sorry i was using my mates account for the post just then, didnt switch users...

[blasdf]

are those short shifters easy to install. i wouldnt mind making the changes shorter.

[dannybubu]

where'd u get the skunk2 short shifter?im interested!

[Waternmo]

it was a fairly easy installation, its not like other new hondas where u hav to change the whole shift box, but on the FD, only a small adaptor is added to make the shift travel alot smaller, i was surprised when i open the box but it does wat i want lol

got em from 999automotive in brisbane, adam is the person to speak to!!! giv him a ring or PM (forum sponsor) 999 is distributor for heaps of aftermarket brands for honda! top service and great price!!!

[aero]

999 is distributor for heaps of aftermarket brands for honda! top service and great price!!!

nice plug there. lol :p
ill probly go see them about getting some skunk2 springs for my fd1, when i get a bit more money

[Waternmo]

LOL, Adam was showin me the Skunk2 Pro S coilover and the Cusco zero GT for my FD2, very nice but wont be gettin them till i find a new job -_-

[JOhnnyFD]

CUSCO ZERO GT!! f!@# i wanted to get that
how much is he sellin em for?

[.k.]

2150 i believe

[ej20i]

SKUNK 2 Short shifter adapter....pls inform me on the price and how do i get my hands on em??

[.k.]

look under trader '999' up here in bris.. i think its $99 / $199 cant remember which

how much shorter is the throw watermonmo? - and if you dont mind me asking where bouts in bris you live? metro area like not too far from city etc or like woop woop? i wanna get interest on a little fd meet n greet

[Waternmo]

ej20i - its better to contact adam from 999 for an accurate pricing, ask him for the skunk2 knob aswell! they work well together.

the shift travel is only reduced by around 20&#37; as stated on skunk2.com which is y i like it so much, not too short and it gives a more accurate feel when engaging gears.

.k. - i live in Algester, near Sunnybank hills, FD meet n greet sounds great, but im travellin overseas on friday so wont be in brisbane for a month or so, but will definately stay online and share the parts i buy while im in HongKong!!!

[.k.]

omg always wanted to go to hk.. have fun mate and i'll organise something for when u come back :D

[JOhnnyFD]

QUICK QUESTIONS... i did a search and couldnt find much.. this relates to handling

Front Strut braces
is it better to get a 3p brace (connect from the 2 towers to the front.. lik the cusco front brace) or the 2p brace (connect only the 2 towers.. lik ultra racing and hypertec front braces) ?? Any big differences?

Sway bars
Also another question.. for FF cars like our FDs .. is it better to only get a rear sway bar or is it necessary to get both front and rear sway bar for the car to be balanced??

[rk 86 wa]

im using cusco 3 pt and its not really that great.

front feels a bit stiffer on track but mounting points used are crap.

the tower mounts are strong but the front radiator frame mount is crap.

the front radiator frame is something like a 2 mm aluminium plate which literally flexes if you twist with your arms.

Id personally go a 2 point if you must buy one but other than that id save your money and buy sway bars imho.

[ej20i]

im using a two points rite now, the mounting point i have to say i was disapointed...its not the usual mounting points on the strut tower top but next to it on top of the stock strut bar
u can take a look at my diy, i did a diy on fd front strut

[rk 86 wa]

can you link us? I would like to see how the mounting points differ

[FallenAngel]

Get the rear sway bar first as it will provide a more direct turn-in. I'm planning to get one very soon.. The strut can wait IMO

[Waternmo]

cusco actually has 2 diff front strut bar for the FD, the other one is 2 point for the type R but i assume it'll fit the audm FD2. the purpose for a strut bar is to balance the front strut and transfer the force from one strut top to another so i dunno how it is done with the 3 point style, but at the end i wouldnt question cusco's design.

sway bar is said to be one of the most effective mod for a car's handling, for a FF car, rear sway bar upgrade is more important, u can get both F and R at the same time but never get the F without the R.

[xqwzit]

U will lose the turn in response with front sway bar however the car will corner flatter. If u planning to get one get the rear sway bar first. U will feel the difference immediately. On normal daily driving turning will be more comfy as u can feel the rear is alot flatter and joins with the front. However the car will be slightly bumpier. I have ultra racing 16mm cause I heard the 19mm or higher will fk the endlinks then u have to weld the bar onto the car. The front strut bar itself wont make much diff compared to rear sway bar. I have both on mine and I'm satisfied with it for a daily car. I won't bother with other bars, if u want to take it to the next level just get a set of coilovers then you are done with handling mods

[rk 86 wa]

^ all good info, and i agree 100&#37; just buy a set of coilovers if you want the best bang for buck.

[JOhnnyFD]

touche guys

i've already ordered in coilovers and see how the handling goes first... just wanting to know about extra handling features lik strut braces and sway bars.

i believe for the cusco sway bars its.. Front 28mm and Rear 23mm ... is there a limit to the width size of ONLY putting on a rear sway bar (e.g limit to 19mm on the rear, anything above that i would need to put in the front sway bar???)

[xqwzit]

theres no limit, i wont recommend a front sway bar anyway for FF cars, you want the rear to be stiffer than the front.

larger rear sway bar = more oversteer. as i mentioned above,Front strut bar and RSB is all you need to match with your coilovers, other bars are just a waste of money.

keep in mind that anything bigger than 16mm for RSB will fk your endlinks. unless you want it permanently by welding it on.

[Waternmo]

oh so the cusco 23mm will fk the endlinks? but its not recommended to upgrade endlinks by cusco... lucky i read this, just ordered j's racing strut brace was about to order cusco RSB too, better find out more first...

http://a7.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e80004011017b0d02f860e-500pi

And when it goes on I'll be likely to go from SRI to CAI... so my TopFuel zero-1000 SRI (partly carbon fibre too) will be up for grabs.. has served me well for 6mths.


http://a3.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e8000400fad6a204230005-500pi


It'll really depend on whether I'm gonna be worried about rain water dripping into the SRI through the vented bonnet... as the SRI is really quite good.


hey mark how much was ur new CAI? I am on a typhoon K&N SRI at the moment and it uses WAY too much fuel without enough takeoff performance ot even decent improvement till about 5k RPM. Are u worried about water getting into your CAI at all? Especially if it's been lowered.




Also, on another note, does anyone know if 8 width tyres fit on the Civic FD1 (8th gen) when the car's been lowered? I have 7.5 at the moment and they almost look fat enough, I'm thinking if I put 19s with 40 profile I'm going to have to get the guards beaten to allow for pot holes and standard suspension movement.

[xqwzit]

I am on a typhoon K&N SRI at the moment and it uses WAY too much fuel without enough takeoff performance ot even decent improvement till about 5k RPM.

you wont find improvements with the CAI, even less low end power compared to SRI.

[Waternmo]

intakes with longer n smaller pipe = less max power gain but better for mid rpm torque
intakes with shorter n bigger pipe = more max power gain but will sacrifice low - mid rpm torque a bit. but since the piping is so short, u get more direct air flow n responsive if u suddenly step onto the accelerator.

but overall, unless u put it on dyno with the results in numbers, u probably wont feel a diff, as i've tried a number of intake in my old car and the biggest difference was high rpm with a SRI n the response when i step on n off the accelerator, dat was about it...

hey wayne! does the AFC neo work on our FD2?

no idea.. i used it on my other car at malaysia.. not FD.. =)

[black8thgen]

ok i got a question.... how much mileage are u guys getting out of 95/98 RON fuel? On a full tank im only getting around 250k kms... which i feel is pretty shit =.=... on an fd2 btw... auto.. and i dont drive around with a heavy foot, or with aircon for that matter..

anyone know if i should be worrying?

[ekdez]

yeah u should be worrying LOL..

i drive manual on 98octane. getting around 600-650km's.

[howy]

i've been on 98, VTI auto and i'm getting around 400ish.

Pretty heavy foot and aircon every now and then.

I'm considering dropping down to 95 and testing that for a while to see if there's any difference.

[xqwzit]

hmm 250km on a full tank is def not right haha
around 500ish on mine with bp ultimate since new.
civic sport manual, intake and exhaust mod.

[black8thgen]

WTF?!?!?!? hmm.. anyone got any ideas of what it could be? maybe theres a leak into somewhere that i can't see? =/...

[andyhui01]

^what sort of driving do you do? I've gotten 250 a tank with almost 100&#37; city driving

[.k.]

i get around 500-550 before fuel light comes on? normal? - using crappy 91ron unleaded..

[black8thgen]

well, i don't drive far. Daily i go about 10-15km, with like 5-7 one way and 5-7 the other way, and thats in like normal suburban traffic, nothing like city or anything. Would that make a big difference? Cant imagine it would cut the mileage to half though...

[andyhui01]

it does... I still remember I got 200km's out of the first half because I was on the freeway most of the time. Then the second half, I did about 90-100km before the light came on which was pure city driving.

[black8thgen]

Hmm, well for the other guys who are getting 400-500 a tank, what driving you guys do most the time? I'm guessing short bursts of driving would reduce the mileage capacity.

[howy]

mine's 100&#37; city, only have the mugen panel filter so far.

exhaust is probably coming soon.

[dannybubu]

i used to get 500 easy before the light came on (stock) and ever since i started modding it's gone less efficient...maybe coz im more heavy footed with the mods? haha...i dunno...but 250km seems too little...my friends gtr r32 gets 300 out of a tank and that's turboed and badly tuned.

[FallenAngel]

I get at the MIMIMUM 500 on a full tank and thats not being a fairy... if ur getting 250 there is seriously something wrong...

[black8thgen]

ehhhhh. shit. what u guys suggest i do? bring it in to the dealer and ask them to check it out?

[howy]

I get at the MIMIMUM 500 on a full tank and thats not being a fairy... if ur getting 250 there is seriously something wrong...

Gab, how much motorway/highway driving do you do?

[FallenAngel]

Probably around 100kms out of the 500 at most..

[howy]

ahh ok, that's pretty good.

black8thgen: how many k's have you done on the car? i wouldn't worry too much if it hasn't done around 15000k's.

[black8thgen]

oh, well its still new.. done 2400ks... is that meant to be normal? my first car so yeah not so sure about it =/..

even if your car is still running in...it shouldn't be that bad...i still got around 500km per tank...wierd man...get it checked i reckon

[black8thgen]

hmm. fkkkk. i think i will check it out. iread someone got 13L/km at first but then it got to about 8 later on.. so maybe thats all it is. Because i reckon if i go to the dealer they'll just tell me its meant to happen and push me away =.=

i complained to honda regarding my bad fuel economy and all they said was...
"yea thats normal"
i was doing 380 out of a 98 tank!
WTF!but now its fine after oil change, bak to 480!

[black8thgen]

380, im doing 250 LOL.

[.k.]

im doing 0 for 2 weeks while waiting for new thermo to come in from jap.. why the fsck does it take so long? coming on a boat or something?! ><"

[dannybubu]

the higher the octane fuel i use, the less km's i get out of the tank...91 was about 550-600, 95 was 500-550 now 98 is 450-500...wonder why?

[black8thgen]

yeah well im getting half of all of that lol... im a bit lazy to go to the dealer cos im 99&#37; sure they'll just be like oh its normal.. and just waste my time...

[JOhnnyFD]

haha.. tats weird.. i get around 450km out of 98.. use bp ultimate

the higher the octane fuel i use, the less km's i get out of the tank...91 was about 550-600, 95 was 500-550 now 98 is 450-500...wonder why?

The civic is tuned from the factory to run 91, so anything other than that will be less efficient.

[.k.]

even fd2s? - does any1 use e10 with their fd1? i used it once and only got like 500k's and the fuel light came on so never used it again.. + im always too scared and when i fillup i always have at least 8 litres left.. how do we measure it to get closer to using the 50L tank?

[curtis265]

I use 95RON on an R18 engine. The manual recommends it, so i thought i'd try it... I used to use ULP before, but i can't remember what mileage i got from it.

When i refill i calculate my fuel efficiency. The best i got from PULP was 7.2 L/100km, and the worst was 8.4. I usually get high 7's.

I can't remember as far back as ULP.

[FallenAngel]

You can go all the way down till the fuel gauge even has no bars left... You will still have about 5-10L left in the tank... And should be able to travel about 10kms at the least.. I've tried it xD

[ej20i]

the most i did after no bars left, 42 KM!LOL!

[howy]

haha I try not to get the light on or no bars coz then if you do end up with no petrol...

you'll look like an idiot on the street :/

car looks awsome johnny!

question to everyone - the new fd front bar (09+) does it fit on older fd's? and would the modulo lip kit fit from 08 fit new 09? or is the body completely different?

just asking because i like look of new front bar and wondering if my modulo lip would fit on it if i was ever able to obtain one :)

[aero]

i dont think a modulo lip would fit on the 09 FDs. the standard front bumper on the 09s have a little kind of lip at the bottom, which isnt there in the standard 06-08 civics.

but i think i read somewhere in a thread that it would be possible to transplant a 09 front onto a 06-08 model.

[xenfacta]

i was thinking the same thing. I need a new front bumper thanks to a careless parker at hurstville and was going to transplant the new model one on. Any ideas on what it would cost for the new bumper?
