Thanks... that confirms that I'm not crazy when thinking they'd look good in yellow.

Will do the other side tonight.. and wire it up on Sunday. Then try and source some tint stuff in yellow.

it looks best when you view the car from the rear imo

nice pics the red bcs look great! and so does yours stig.. how big are those wheels?!

question to anyone: just picked up my car today and was gonna go for a drive tonight but realised that the rear lights don't come on when the head-lights turned on. Braking made them light up but rear licence plate + rear lights wont come on..

i remember trying to put rear licence plate leds in but neither turned on. so turned lights off changed direction led went in and 1 of the 2 worked.. so i thought gay must have been damaged en-route - so put stockies back in and now turns out no lights work at the back haha?

probably just a fuse yeah? can i buy one any auto spare place or do i have to get a certain/specific and which fuse is it?

ryanc
21-04-2009, 12:47 AM
u can even get fuses at petrol stations.. did it for mine when i screwed up my lights

make sure u kno which fuse u need and is blown... they arent all the same
open it up and have a look which one looks 'broken'

cos the offsets on his wheels are wrong.. :\ bl on that one :\

i think its the " 20 inch " part which is the problem.

i'll be squeezing in 18x8 +35 on front and 18x9 +35 on the rear in a week or two =]

there is a guy in melb with 20x10 on his fd. not sure about his offsets tho.

correct they are 20" NKB's, drop is 1 finger all round.
was rubbing in the rear left side with 245 tyres, then got 235 and everything is all fine now.


yes they are 20" seiken's.

correct! stupid euro offsets haha


i thought the offset of those wheels are +45. isnt that safe? i was wondering that maybe the 8.5 width would have been more of a problem

8.5 offset with +45 JUST fits, hence most people with 8.5 offset on their fd's go in the high 30's for their offset


Has anyone done wheel spacers on their wheels?

Stockies don't sit flush :(

was thinking of going spacers, get the 15mm ichiba hubcentric spacers :thumbsup: or the 25mm h&r. they are bolt on, unless you get the smaller ones and you have to change the studs, massive cbf imo.

thats good to hear, are the front parkers hard to change btw? gonna do my headlights and parkers this weekend..

black8thgen
23-04-2009, 04:39 PM
nah. pretty easy, except on the passenger side.. its a real bitch because of the coolant box in the way, and with the battery there, very limited room to work ur hands with, and very painful lol, i suggest u wear some globes to prevent from getting deep cuts from the edges of the battery box (personal experience.. it hurt lol)

u just reach ur hand in, try and coordinate ur hand inside the engine bay by looking at where the parkers are in the headlight assembly (makes it a lot easier), then you should feel a small clip, (if u look down into the engine bay u should be able to see a small grey/black (cant remember lol) clip and yeah aim for that lol. Just squeeze the little clippy part (should be on the top half of the clip) and pull away from the connector, thenn just twist the bulb holder.. anti-clockwise i THINK, check the manual for that.. and pull it out then replace the bulb =D.

hope it all goes well mate

btw. edit: if your putting in LED bulbs, i think some types only work one way, so if u put the led in, and it doesnt work, dont worry, just flip it the other way around =D, and that should work.

FallenAngel
23-04-2009, 08:08 PM

its not hard...takes like 30 secs for me...
the trick is to look at it from an angle. So stand in the centre of the car and look diagonally outwards. Hold the bottle flush against the battery and go downwards. Works for me every time

not too difficult.

Back to lighting: i bought numplate lights, but their beam is very directional and doesn't light up the plate terribly well... kinda like this: /\ /\ over the numplate... Should i return them? Crappy LED things focus badly compared to the stock halogen one

the license plate light is actually quite important, i was pulled over once by the cops becoz i had a weak license plate light in my old car, he asked me to com out and stand a few metres away from the car and asked me if i can read the number plate clearly.. i said i can but he said he cant -_-... so he asked to change it back and if im seen next time with the same dull light than it'll be a defect...

here's a few pics of the things done or gotten for my FD1 this week:

1. After months of attempting to DIY foglight installations and failing, i went down to a recommended auto mechanic and had them wired up correctly. apparently the problem was that the fuse box was incorrectly wired or something..

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/gh3ttolov3/foggies2.jpg

2. Got my windows tinted in 20% 3M carbon based tint. took about 3 hours or so and i think it looks awesome.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/gh3ttolov3/tint1.jpg

3. Finally, i also got my mugen lip kit delivered to my house this week. i was pretty worried because at first they sent me a package with just the sideskirts. and i was thinking *wth?! where's the rest of it?*. but it came later in the arvo. here's a pic of just the front lip on. not screwed on or anything, its just slipped on.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/gh3ttolov3/mugen1.jpg

now i need to paint it and get it fitted. but first i'll need an exhaust, wheels and suspension. still a lot more to do. i'll keep updating here when i get any other mods :)

EDIT:

4. also got a pic of my car after i took off the 'Civic' and 'Vti' badges. :p

since u wired up the fog lights...and im guessing they are after market.. where do u put the switch?..is it next to the key hole? or is it a replacement of the stick? like the oem are?

aero
24-04-2009, 08:57 PM
the switch fits into that hole just below to fuel milage select/reset button. i had to cut a hole from the back of it to get my switch in there. but i'll go down to the honda dealer whenever i can to get the panel that fits in there to secure the switch and to make it look tidy.

(btw this is .k. on mygfs lil bros acc)

aero's car auto-locked with his keys inside which is so retarded as a door was open and then later on closed but it still locked his keys inside and the racq guy took ages to try to flip the lock on the door but turns out u shud just press the lock/unlock button on the drivers side control unit:

*pause*

. . . I FCKN HATE THAT RAD OVERFLOW !@!@?@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

omg took forever to get it back in, ended up taking off the top and unconnected hoses from the bottle and then i finally got it in..

anyhoo, i successfully installed led parkers + 4750k mtec bulbs into my car and i have pics for a write-up of the headlight + front parker + rear licence plate led so stay tuned!!

watchin poker atm on one-hd so thats why it might take ages

markCivicVti
24-04-2009, 11:09 PM
^ lol .k.

You couldn't wait till tomorrow could you? lol... i know the feeling... u get a new mod n u just wanna install it asap..

Yeah the coolent overflow can be a little hard to get back in.. but yeah, with led parkers you may not ever have to again.

Our lights should basically look the same now.. you equally dissapointed with the mtec bulbs? They look ok, but not bright enough whatsoever.

aero
24-04-2009, 11:15 PM
dw mark. get ur foggies up and running, and they'll provide u with extra light :p

black8thgen
24-04-2009, 11:23 PM
i got mtec 4750K too. im not really disappointed, wouldnt mind HIDs of course but too costly =[. and vision isnt too bad, im alright with it. and yea if u really need vision like in the rain the foggies give lots of help =].

mtec bulbs look quite nice from a distance... now i think about i think im gonna get HIDs in the near future lol

markCivicVti
24-04-2009, 11:25 PM
Yeah it's not like I *need* more light... I just wasn't expecting stock to be much better than these... meh.. if anything foggies will be good for rain when ur trying to scan the road ahead for big lip-kit-killing potholes.

black8thgen
24-04-2009, 11:29 PM
ahahaha. yea but with a whiter light vision on the road will be ruined since the light like blends in with street lights and all that, but in the pitch black streets its good enough i reckon

25-04-2009, 10:50 AM
yeah not sure about the light, installed the bulbs + parkers then just parked it there for the night haha, i'll get pics and diy-write up soon.

one thing i noticed was that at the base of the bulb - it kind of looks yellow?! the light that comes out is white/blue-ish a little bit but when looking directly at the light coming out at the very base of the bulb it looks a little yellow which sucks T.T

msg me when u see this mark, i still might come around n checkout ur bonnet etc :)

black8thgen
25-04-2009, 11:25 AM
yeah it is yellow at the base, unless u get HID it will be yellow lol. but trust me when u walk back about 10m in the dark or late arvo it looks quite white/blue

Latest mod :P

http://a3.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e8000401101641c22b860c-500pi

Well.. it's also my latest de-mod. As I decided to remove it and go back to stock and not pay for the cf bonnet... quite frankly i was a little dissapointed.. while the top finish is fine, a.) the vents are much larger and different to the image my supplier sent me b) underneath was a fibreglass frame... not a metal one like the 09 jazz cf bonnets the same manufacturer makes... and it took some modifcation to make it fit nicely.

Having said all that if anyone wants the bonnet (i was gonna pay $700 for) I can refer you onto my supplier... as he is a top bloke!


Edit: it looked great from the front and "so-so" from the side/back. It just screams "DEFECT ME!!!"
So yeah, saved myself some money and all little fed up with wasting money on the car... I think I might just call it a day and move onto the up and coming motorbike.


btw this is what it was meant to look like:

the bonnet totally looks different from the pic.. wtf... wat a con!

the bonnet itself looks abit too much... not digging the huge vents

in terms of mod, i agree mark.. after im gonna install my sussys, sway bar and HIDs.. im gonna slow it down.. thinkin of put on brake kits (disc, calipers and pads) and bride or buddyclub seats but that would be on another time

btw if this helps: - they look like a small tube where the pos/neg metal pieces are on either end of the tube thing and in the middle is a bit of glass/plastic where the LED light shines through.. i cant find a pic cos my nets fkn capped =[

don't be too scared...

they hardly defect you anyway. our cars look new so having some different lights is ok.

the stock lexus is250 has white/bluish licence plate lights, and just then when i was picking my gf up from work 1 bus had normal licence plate lights but you can hardly see the middle section of the plate.

another bus musta had blown his licence plate lights... so yeh.

depends on the cop i suppose.

Guys a noob question, which product help best to stop body-roll when turning a corner? (even at speed as low as 25kph eg at a round about)

ekdez
01-05-2009, 02:45 PM
the correct swaybars (both F&R) / suspension(coilover/springs/shock) set up

running a thick front and rear swaybar will be stiff and you might under steer, where as running nothing you feel body roll. but majority of the time you wont notice a real differance till you track your car.

swaybar for the better cheap option. but you cant go wrong with coilovers. height adjustable makes you feel more aerodynamic haha

thanks for the info re sway bars guys.

To black8thgen, you can try running the cables from top left side of engine bay (facing the front of the car), the cables actually run right above the driver side wheel arc, very tricky but am sure you can figure it out.

Inside the car on the driver side, there is a thumb size hole some where behind the fuse box (which is to the right of the accelerator paddel, you need to pull out that plastic cover). You won't be able to see it because it sits so deep inside, but if you put your hand in there with alot of patient you will find it with your finger. Have a mate feed a thin cable down first, and you put a finger down there and try to "grab" it, very tricky but safer than drilling. Then tie the thin cable to whatever cables you want and pull them through the arc and the hole. Very confusing i know but you gotta try it to understand... hope this help.

+1 on that. that's pretty much the same route for when my friend and i did the wiring for my foglights. it comes in through the lil hole near the fuse box and up to the panel (or hole just beneath the select/reset mileage button is) to where my foglight switch is.

got sprint booster installed today! extremely happy with the result, might get a little too sensitive when accelerating from stop, but its not a worry, just needa get used to step on the pedal a little bit softer... but anything from 2nd gear is great, u feel the torque comes earlier...

what's a "supercat hotdog resonator" man, any pics/links? cheers!

black8thgen
06-05-2009, 05:56 PM
dont think theres any links of it on the net. its just an aftermarket resonator (hotdog style) - the canister is smaller than the stock one so the sound resonates off the walls more and yea becomes louder lol. Sounds so sweet, louder than before and still maintaining the deep rumble of the xforce muffler =D. only down side is that i feel a lack of responsiveness now.. i didn't think the resonator would do this but.. theres a tiny bit of lag around 30-50 km/h.. so between 1st to 2nd gear, and 2nd to 3rd gear (on an auto) i feel a bit of lag on the accelerator paddle to the engine... just experiencing some delayed responsiveness =[.. anyone know why this is? Or if its gonna get better once the whole system settles in again?

ej20i
06-05-2009, 06:18 PM
ummm y didnt u just remove it?i removed mine and i love the sound of it, im using exforce twin loop and it POPs!hhahahaha

black8thgen
06-05-2009, 06:27 PM
remove it and replace with jus a straight pipe? yea i was gna do that but i thought id jus try the resonator first, i love the sound though lol. just hating this lack of responsiveness.. do u know why its like that?

when your car pops means your car is running rich. i believe

cracker
06-05-2009, 07:23 PM
i thought thats because the resonator isnt resonating the sound?
