grille is on.. double-sided tape is all thats holding it in at the moment. problem is that the holes at both sides + middle to hold the grille in are too small and the big-ass clip thing won't go through so need to re-drill them. too tired now lol

I suggest you tighten the grille cause my last one was blown away on highway.... If the holes are too small use cable ties, they are very strong too! :P

anyone got or tried them?

[.k.]

so basically the entire 'post a picture of your latest mod' + everything in the appearance gallery should be deleted too yeah? go let the mods know.. seeing as how talking about pictures is not on-topic!

wtf **** came outta nowhere..

ontopic - got my grille on today, kinda sad; WTB - better fitment =( pics to come.. (or can i? ...)

[ekdez]

show us a picture of fitment.. (Y)
you can never get perfect fitment of aftermarket stuff unless its genuine mugen etc..

tbh.. i dont like the mugen grill :\
it just doesnt do it for me..
are there any other grills out there? anyone know of n e?

LOL also has n e one noticed how uber long our front doors are O: i only noticed it today LOl

[ganj3]

Yeah same I dont really like the Mugen grill
Ekdez you can also get the Type-R grill but I think you need to make some adjustments for it to fit. There was a DIY on fitting the Type-R grill done, just check the DIY thread

[ekdez]

type r grill is the same as the standard one.. pretty much.
looking for something different LOl.. mm might try google..

[ekdez]

also n e one know the name of the guy who owns a white FD civic.. with the j's exhaust over in perth?

can you pelase pm me his username
thanks!!

[.k.]

only have a crap pic off my phone atm.. uploading it now

[aero]

type r grill is the same as the standard one.. pretty much.

try no grille at all :thumbsup: lol

[ekdez]

so what do the feel's and BYS etc use...
they just use a bumper which stretches into a grill hey :\

that sucks..

OH yeah btw..
my j's titatnium exhaust.. which i got..
the modifications which need to be made to fit it on are..
1 - i need to get an extra pipe made to fill the gap between the headers and the start of the bpipe cos its too short.. its just a straight pipe. will be made from mild steel not titanium.. cos no one in canberra is equipped to do titanium LOL how sad..
2 - also the hangers are a tiny bit off.. so the muffler man said he would weld a hanger off my stock hangers(attached to the chasis) and just use the orginial bushings to hold it up =]

should only cost around $200 to create and install =]

so if you guys in the future want a j's exhaust those are the only mod's (Y)
otherwise its perfect fit.

[ej20i]

i ran around wif no grill b4...it kind off looks UGLY 2 be honest

[.k.]

i like the no grille look.. here's a pic without and with - would there be any probs driving around with no grille?

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/51MPL/IMG_0029.jpg

my grille atm - looks a bit funny
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/51MPL/IMG_0032.jpg

lol i'll get another pic later on.. the angle makes it look worse then it is haha

[JOhnnyFD]

lol.. dude.. u gotta have something there

if no grill, u could get some shiet going into ur engine like dust, bugs, leaves, smog from other cars which could get into your intake.. and especially water when it rains

[Fung]

i love chit chat coz i am such a biatch~~
no1 stops me LOL

hey~ any1 know how much it'll cost jst to get my side mirrors painted black?

[Fung]

whats a fd?

[Fung]

[nny911]

o btw havent had time to post up my new mods effin exams but im sure u guys have seen it already..but ill bring in the close ups

[.k.]

Wow.. Parked next to a pretty hot Fd this morning haha! I left a note on their window to come join us on ozhonda so hope that wasn't too creepy LOL!!$:$:7:&3

[black8thgen]

[.k.]

I did get pics haha! I have to leave early today so finish at 2/3 instead of 5 so kinda sucks cos if we all finish at 5 I could maybe talk to the owner.. I'll get a few more pics later

And it's the first time I've seen a nodded Fd at my work and the white one has a parking sticker which means they work in the same complex muahaha.. Hopeully we meet again

[black8thgen]

[black8thgen]

lol i got my balls flamed off cos i didn't know...

ozhonda's immature members ftl sometimes

[eeKayFouR]

so it was a white fd w/ a few stickers - centre parking sticker (so i know he works in same building just dunno where), cusco sticker (maybe its got cusco coilovers? - lower then my car), and an option1jdmgarage sticker or something? haha.. it has red H badges dark ass tint! and what look to be maybe replica (no offence) te37s in black w/ red lip in a multi-fit 5 stud so probs 5x114.3 and 5x100? cos it had 10 holes.. 17"

doesnt sound like much but it just looked really nice lol, shame i couldnt be around to hopefulyl talk to the owner - pix to come later w/ deleted no. plate

lol.. i hope he actually has performance parts of those brands in his car, and not just stickers.
and the wheels are most definitely replicas, since i dont think rays make multi-stud wheels.
anyway, i hope he joins up with ozhonda or u meet him again, so we can organise a bigger brisbane fd meet. :thumbsup:

[NZFD2]

got my festoon lights from superbrightleds
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/3823/p1010897t.jpg

now to put it in :D

liquid32: which lights is this for?

[.k.]

courtesy / map light yes? its in the middle above gearstick.

where did you get the lights smd + festmoon from? i'll be wanting to change mine soon =]

[NZFD2]

oh ok..I thought that the festoons were for the map lights :p

pretty keen to see what they look like turned on

[liquid23]

liquid32: which lights is this for?

i'm using for trunk light but ebay sells one that has an adaptor that can fit anything. so maybe use for back light above rear seats.
also got this, middle brake light.

i got mine from http://www.superbrightleds.com
its from the US, can get them off ebay. ebay has some different things.
or you can get it here in aus i think the festoon 2SMD interior lights are $13 each. US$6.95 on that site.

i have it installed will post up the pics later

[black8thgen]

ohh shit thts a good idea for boot light. well i hooked up two purple LED strips for my boot lighting lol =D. with a white LED bulb inside the socket.. no where near bright enough, i'll prob be getting the festoon lights sometime after exams =D

[Fung]

any body know where to get some lighting for the key thingy? my dad found it annoying when he couldnt search the keyhole in the dark..and hes only driven my car like twice during night time

[.k.]

yeah unoriginally its called a 'keyhole light' i think. dmx has it installed on his car so maybe we could ask to get that too? i want one =]

[NZFD2]

im surprised that the audm fd doesnt have the keyhole light..I thought it was quite a basic thing to have, and I'm sure it wouldn't have cost them that much to include as a standard especially since the fd isn't that low in price as well..

liquid: what size (mm) festoon bulbs do the map lights take?

[liquid23]

the lights inside the car are 31mm, you can take it out and measure it =) that is what i did hehe.
They sell like a 41mm holder not sure if you can get that to fit in the light holders. might need some modifications. i just went for simple as i wouldn't know how to do it. If you want to get the PCB board of SMD LED lights to fit in the boot like it did, it doesn't actually fit in the holder you need to kinda just stick the board on to the metal.

[NZFD2]

Thanks..I've just ordered the festoons from a local seller, picking it up tomorrow :D

[liquid23]

Thanks..I've just ordered the festoons from a local seller, picking it up tomorrow :D

what did you order and how much did it cost?

[NZFD2]

I ordered 3 x 31mm Festoon SMD LEDs for $30 NZD

Are the ones you bought 31 or 36mm? The one im getting (31mm) has only 1 LED module whereas the 36mm ones have 2, if it fits then I might change my order as I noticed the ones you've got has 2.

[liquid23]

mine are 31mm with 2 SMD LEDS.
you can buy from here
http://www.ledshoponline.com/automotive_leds_festoon.htm#31smt
think this shop is cheaper

got my black grille on today :)
also got red badges. a lot of you guys probably dont like the idea of a vti with type r badges, but i just see them as red badges and i like the look of em :p

[rene]

Nice mods mate!
One thing I learned from car mods is that you stick to your own taste, dont let others dictate you.

"Placing Type R emblem" exist not only in Honda, AMG on Mercs, Evo on Mitsu, fake LV bags on chicks heaps other stuff...so do what you like mate lol.

red looks better anyway man

[black8thgen]

no to red! i'm thinking of getting a black/white H badge overlay later on when i get my carbon grille with red badges =D. white H and black backing ;)

[cracker]

why dont u just paint the stock H symbol white, since your car is already black?

[black8thgen]

Nahh cos when i get my carbon grille, it comes with red badges, both front and back, and i won't be able to put on the stock front H, i don't think so anyway... since im not a fan of red so much, i'll just get an overlay sticker/badge =].

[sKy.xD]

Since everyone is changing their grilles, anyone want to sell me their stock chrome grille :D

[ekdez]

black grill with red H looks nice (Y)

for all the guys with mugen visors etc..

are they hard to put on?
im thinkin about grabbing some soon. are they clipped on or 3m tapped?

[.k.]

i wanna get some mugen visors too so it'd be good to know.. the oem ones i have were glued on so who knows? maybe the real ones will be clip and the reps taped?

[FallenAngel]

Got visor reps, and held on by 3M tape and it holds fine...

[ganj3]

I think JDM Yard has the clip on ones

[liquid23]

Nahh cos when i get my carbon grille, it comes with red badges, both front and back, and i won't be able to put on the stock front H, i don't think so anyway... since im not a fan of red so much, i'll just get an overlay sticker/badge =].

or you can get this to complete your carbon look =P

[Fung]

but dmx isnt on here anymore =[

we are losin members =[

[curtis265]

I've got OEM visors and they're stuck on with foam tape.

[.k.]

foam tape wth?

where u gonna get ur mugen (real or rep?) visors from btw?

[curtis265]

The Stealership installed it for me when i got the car... my parents spend ages bargaining with the guy lol.

it's like kinda thin stuff.. I dunno what product it actially is, but i assume it's pretty strong since my visors haven't flown off yet.

[.k.]

ahh thats crazy lol.. i got my oem visors off a friend for free and they have some hardcore 3m tape or something lol.. countless trips on highways and they are fine so yeh =] wanting to upgrade to mugen though

[JaCe]

Tim's tip was to use electrical tape if it starts rattling/flying off at 120km/h :)

[ej20i]

not electrical tape, cloth tape...hehehhehehe

[aero]

but dmx isnt on here anymore =[

we are losin members =[

what's happened to him?

[kazam]

well dmx got banned twice for unathourised trader selling didn't he? probly jsut raged it n left the forum?

[curtis265]

Oh that must suck :( poor DMX - he knew his stuff..

[danjoy25]

Im also thinking of getting visor. A Mugen replica visor sells for $95 by Touge tune but Im still not decided as my car will look funny since I have modulo kit and no Mugen stuff. does anyone know if you can get replica honda visors?

[ej20i]

Stick with mugen visor!!!!!!!!!

[black8thgen]

yeah mate, mix and match will always look great.. ok well not always but theres nothing wrong with it =]

[ej20i]

ooo btw...DANJOYS back???where have u been?or its just me tripin?

[Waternmo]

mugen visor is great, i have the genuine one which has clips and doesnt become lose at all like my replica one on my old car... i hav it on with no bodykit lol

[.k.]

how much do the real mugen ones cost ondy?

ps - still need to arrange to a little bris meetup! spotted another modded fd @ my work lol =] numberrs are rising haha!

after exams its on

[ryanc]

wow i bought my replica visor from some shop in hk for like 40-45AUD around 2 years ago :\
it doesnt fly off although one of my corners startin to peel
90 for the replica visor is so expensive.. i think genuine one is like 250 or so?

[black8thgen]

i know this was said before but.. anyone wanna sell me their stock chrome grille? i think i might just get someone else's stock one and black it out.. since my dad doesn't want me blacking out my one lol =.=... in case i wanna change back or blahblah..

and on that note, which would u guys think is better? blacked out stock grille or a carbon grille (in stock shape) - with a WHITE H and black background badge btw.

cheers

[aero]

im not a fan of the carbon grille look.
i didnt want to spray my own grille black either, but luckily .k. sold me his for cheap and i was able to spray that instead. my oem grille will still be there tho; in case i get sick of the black grille look, or i want to sell the car as stock.

btw, where will u get ur white H badge from?

[black8thgen]

the trader here: carX can do it, but you need to give them dimensions and such =].

[aero]

orly? i'd love a white H on a blue blackground lol

[black8thgen]

hahah yeah i was thinking to go for that too, but i dunnoo just could look out of place haha. i think id go with white and black still =D.

[edmbranch]

hey guys, I need your expertise in air filters, K&N drop in filters would do the job? or any suggestions/recommendations. looking to change mine soon..

cheers..

that would work great or get Mugen version as both cost the same but mugen is a mugen :thumbsup:

I would also recommend removing the resonator http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engine/83345-removing-intake-resonator.html

[ktvin09]

What's the benefit of removing the resonator guys? Have you done that danjoy?

[black8thgen]

i want to remove the resonator box too, but im worried about getting any hydrolocking =/...

[JOhnnyFD]

I would also recommend removing the resonator http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engine/83345-removing-intake-resonator.html

a mugen air panel filter is twice as expensive as a K&N.. but K&N is i think a better value for ur money as it does the job and its a reputable brand for air filters.

and ye, mugen is a mugen, ur payin for the brand name and so $$$

[d@vid]

I was just thinking about removing the resonator box.

but too lazy to start it......:o

[curtis265]

Well, if someone does... post a sound clip :D

[JOhnnyFD]

i was checking out that 8thcivic.com forum and some1 removed the intake resonator box and customised their intake from this

http://i35.tinypic.com/2ever76.jpg

to this
http://i35.tinypic.com/2uoo2a0.jpg

the guy who did it said it "helped out the dbw lag and felt a tiny bit faster"

wonder whats the whole point in having an intake resonator box.. does it provide cleaner air? create some kind of air pressure?

has anyone tried to do this? not sure if it looks secure and how it would affect engine responsiveness.

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/bolt-ons-all-motor/114225-building-custom-r18-intake.html

[JOhnnyFD]

Well, if someone does... post a sound clip :D

this is for the R18A engine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcdhuZpem4

[black8thgen]

lol we should all get together sometime for those who want to remove the resonator box =D. could make it a lot more fun and easier to take out lol.

[curtis265]

this is for the R18A engine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcdhuZpem4

Aah the sounds hardly noticable.... so i dont think the resonator's purpose is sound muffling.. although it is a 'resonator'...

[black8thgen]

someone on 8thgen also just took out the whole piping lol, so right where the airbox is inside the engine bay (where the air filter is) theres just an open gap to where the pipe would be.. apparantly that sounds a lot meaner.

[curtis265]

haha yeah i remember reaing that to.. seems a bit hardcore to me.

[black8thgen]

hahah yeah. i think i might just get rid of the resonator box cos its a bitch when i wanna change foglights LOL.

btw.. any of u guys figured out how to change foglights with the mugen front kit on? cos i cant pul the black covering out, last time i had to remove the bumper a bit with a mate, but i really don't wanna do that again lol... and the resonator box is in the road so can't get to it from underneath on the passenger side...

[danjoy25]

haha yeah i remember reaing that to.. seems a bit hardcore to me.

Haven't done it yet with the FD but have done it on my previous car EK & before that the EG. Engine sounds meaner, not sure about the gains but it sounds faster :D I wouldn't do it on my FD as I'm pretty sure the engine warranty might get voided if the dealer sees what I've done when I take it for its service.

[black8thgen]

yeah i dont think ill do it till warranty runs out lol

[aero]

anyone keen on doing this one?
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engine/134495-diy-short-ram-intake-r18-ghetto-fabulous.html
home-made sri~!
i would love to try doing that. my warranty will be gone by the end of the year, so i may try then

[Stig]

i want to remove the resonator box too, but im worried about getting any hydrolocking =/...

you would only hydrolock if you drove into a pool...

[Stig]

Aah the sounds hardly noticable.... so i dont think the resonator's purpose is sound muffling.. although it is a 'resonator'...

yeah, it doesnt sound any different with or without the resonator, wasted 30mins doing it to my mates car, imo just get a cai :thumbsup:

[black8thgen]

lol.. well that sorts that issue then..

btw wouldn't this make filtration issues? like huge clumps of dirt and shit flying up through the hose?

btw: heres another vid clip of some guy who made it in a different way:

pm sent.
LOL i dont know, 19" work t1s? then i was thinking 19" ce28n but then i would have the same problem as the 20s (not being able to take cnrs fast LOL), then i was thinking 18" SSR Type F's... but very costly for some rims on a civic... still thinking atm, might even end up getting a fujitsubo legalis r

[black8thgen]

get some ce28s hahah =D. if only i could afford real rays ones.. im just gna settle for half the price rota reps =D

[Shimian]

Does this actually route properly without any obstructions to the foggies? Has anyone on the forum tried it? If so, how high does it sit off the ground?

u want my 19s? lol... a guy said he wanted to buy them, but his offer fell through.
although my offset is +35, i was reading on the 8thgen forums, with guys that had +28 with just camber kits and springs.
i thought about doing that, but i got a quote on the camber kit plus installation, and it was about the same as getting cheap coilover set.... im only looking for just for street use, mind you.

i dont think so, when i had my car up, and had a look the resonator sits back behind the passenger fender liner (plastic crap) almost directly above the drive shaft IIRC, the actual piping comes down and behind the battery and it didnt come anywhere near the foglight housing (mine is vti and doesn't have fogs) so it shouldnt interfere.

All i did was rip out the resonator, chop the snorkel and then using the battery mounting point, pointed it down towards the drive shaft (approximately 50mm above) and with the snorkel end facing forward, to also avoid any hydrolock i disconnected the rubber flange from my intake to the snorkel and left approx 50mm gap.

So far all it has done is made my intake sound b*llsh*t loud and i don't feel any gains at all hahaha.

will post pics if needed

Haha you need an intake =]

You will LOVE the sound it gives, esp when you gun it!!

[JOhnnyFD]

hey guys,

ive got a problem here... got myself in buying a front strut brace and it connects to the bolts on top of the front towers, however the bolts are tight as i cant get myself in trying to unscrew it

any thought on how to loosen the bolts on top of the front towers?
as you know its hard to reach the bolts as the front towers are under the plastic coverings.. hard to get lik a bolt gun in to loosen
prob coz i installed coilovers, the guy who did it must have tighten the bolts hard

[ekdez]

maybe get your machanic to do it..
im sure he will install it for you for like $50.
its a pretty easy simple job if you have the tools

[JOhnnyFD]

ye.. i lik to do mods personally.. this is such a simple mod to do yet those stupid bolts is all that standin in the way

[rk 86 wa]

Haha you need an intake =]

Yah i do have an aftermarket intake :)

When i put mine in, it was a super tight fit and i had to notch out a bit of the black plastic and slide in from memory a 11mm socket + ratched inside?

was a super tight fit but it did work!

[ej20i]

im giving away a MASSIVE secret here....
use a vaccum cleaner hose at the end of the ratchet... so it creates a bigger turning point = less effort!!!
but shh,......

[JOhnnyFD]

its hard enough to put a ratchet inside there.. is there anyway to take off the side plastic covering.. it looks deadset connected to the pillars

also, coz u have to remove that plastic covering to see the front towers, and once u put in the strut bar 3pt.. is there problems with water goin into the engine bay?

[FallenAngel]

Yes u can take off the plastic covering. Look towards the edge of the engine bay you'll see black plastic parts, you gotta take that off first on both sides. Then you literally use force to pull the middle plastic bit off.

Use WD40 to spray the nuts and use a breaker bar to take it off.

Hope that helps

[ekdez]

or just get a longer ratchet for more leverage..

[cracker]

im sure none of u noticed i was banned, but im back

[curtis265]

Lol howcome?

[warwick108]

put some wd40..?

[JOhnnyFD]

put some wd40..?

i did, the bolt wouldnt budge.. i think i may have to lik take off the entire middle black plastic covering, the side plastic covering over the towers and the windscreen wipers.. so annoying

so then i could have more space to take the bolts off


im sure none of u noticed i was banned, but im back

u were banned.. for wot? it didnt seem long?

[ej20i]

LOL. Sounded that u weren't missed at all cracker. Haha. Wad did u do anyway?

[ekdez]

for being a cracker.. =]

[sKy.xD]

I noticed cracker gone lol. But back on topic boys where would I source a decent rear sway bar from?

I know there's a cusco one for sale at 999 automotive trader here but its 500+ unless that's the normal price for sway bars?

[JOhnnyFD]

I noticed cracker gone lol. But back on topic boys where would I source a decent rear sway bar from?

I know there's a cusco one for sale at 999 automotive trader here but its 500+ unless that's the normal price for sway bars?

nahh man... 500 for a cusco RSB (23mm) is abit too much.. think should be from around mid 300... but u could try getting a ultra racing RSB (19mm), cheaper than cusco.

some suppliers have their stock higher than some since it depends on when they bought the stock.. so when the $au currency was down thus the parts are high, if suppliers bought them when the $au was high, then the parts are lower.

[sKy.xD]

I guess that makes sense. Also means I should buy one ASAP with our dollar going pretty strong atm :)

Also where can I get the ultra racing RSB ones from? Also will it matter what brands?

I don't mind paying extra for something better but if all sway bars perform the same then yeah.

[rene]

Guys need help!!
Anyone here know any good and cheap handyman for minor house jobs?

[ekdez]

im looking for a new rear sway too..
the one in the stock vti-L is like a straw..

[JOhnnyFD]

Also where can I get the ultra racing RSB ones from? Also will it matter what brands?

I don't mind paying extra for something better but if all sway bars perform the same then yeah.

i believe ultra racing is a malaysian brand whereas cusco is japanese, so that explains the price difference.

ive got on cusco 23mm and ive got no problems with the endlinks breaking off which some say it might due to the RSB being larger than 19mm but the endlinks are pretty strong.

u can get cusco and ultra racing at jdmyard... cusco at jdmconcept... ultra racing at shift performance.. these are the ones i know of but i bet their heaps of other traders that supply em.


im looking for a new rear sway too..
the one in the stock vti-L is like a straw..

stock RSB is a skinny 11mm

depends where u live.. from looking under ur name ur in syd and im in bris and my dad is a handyman

Lol cracker's gone again!

[ktvin09]

I reckon our civic has quite abit of body roll when cornering, would rear sway bar eliminate that?

[curtis265]

I'll do it! lol

sway bars would stop body roll i guess.. from waht i heard.. but how does that work?

isn't body roll to do with the stiffness of the shock/spring combo?

[.k.]

dc5r wheels - gunmetal w/ red H centrecap for 550 with tyres yay or nay? i'd prolly spray them black

Either I can't get mine back on or I think i snapped some bit of plastic that possibly meant to somehow hook on?

latest mods

buddyclub e-throttle booster
buddyclub racing spec condenser

i know ppl have negative impressions regarding the e-throttle booster but i tried it on and it does make a huge difference in throttle responsiveness.. definitely can feel it and with buddyclub its adjustable and can be turned on and off.. great stuff :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

got cusco front brace to be put on, coz of those stupid tight ass bolts would need a bolt gun

[black8thgen]

wow... how much did it set u back? damnnn nice additions. whats the racing spec condenser do?

[JOhnnyFD]

wow... how much did it set u back? damnnn nice additions. whats the racing spec condenser do?

The Buddy Club Racing Spec Condenser combines an electrical grounding system with a battery current and voltage stabilisation control unit. The unit is designed to stabilise electrical noise and voltage spikes and offer additional grounding

quote:
"We recently dynoed Buddy Club's Racing Spec Condenser - an electrical grounding system with a battery current and voltage stabilization control unit. I have to maintain anonymity of the race car, but it showed a 3% increase in torque throughout the rev-range that is used on the track (3500 RPM and on). The driver of the race car was taken by complete surprise that such an electronic gadget could do this, as we ran multiple dyno runs with the same, consistent results. We disconnected the condenser, and it was back to previous torque curve, reconnect it, and it jumps back around 3%. The driver was a bit more than excited as he thought he had done most of the tricks for horsepower including expensive processes such as polishing the gears to aid reduce loss of power due to friction."

Made in Japan.. lmao

pm u price black8th

[black8thgen]

ah sweet thx a lot for that.. hmmm. did they install it for u over at buddyclub? sounds tempting =D

Nice additions!

hmm, but interesting how it says torque but no mention of bhp or kw.

[JOhnnyFD]

ah sweet thx a lot for that.. hmmm. did they install it for u over at buddyclub? sounds tempting =D

nah, install urself.. diy style


Nice additions!

hmm, but interesting how it says torque but no mention of bhp or kw.

think its torque.. but i havent dynoed my car to know how it would affect kw

but the product manual goes to say it:
increase power and torque
improve fuel economy
smooth idling and improve engine response
improve audio quality
increase headlight brigthness
improve battery life

hey howy, u know for ur front strut brace.. does water get into ur engine? since u have to remove those 2 side plastic covers

[black8thgen]

ahh, easy install? where does it go anywaY?

[JOhnnyFD]

i placed the adjustable unit in the right side holder and drilled a hole at the back for the wire access

then it connects to the ecu adjustment device which i placed inside in the right hand side of the dashboard.. wire then connects to the accelerator sensor

very clean mod if u drill the hole.. if not the wire will be outside

pm me price LOL

[JOhnnyFD]

improove audio quality?...now im interested...

:thumbsup: ... i'll give a more detailed review after a weeks time but so far ive noticed that fuel consumption has improved abit due to the condenser and could be offseted by the e-throttle, audio quality sounds the same even though i didnt have a problem with it b4, and notice HIDs light up faster than b4

and with the e-throttle booster, great smooth engine response

dont mean to brag but i went up against a wrx sti and i managed to keep in pace with it until i reached a certain speed limit that i dont want to disclose :p (just wanted to do a quick test out my new mods).. and boys & girls, speeding isnt cool.. not unless its on track hehe


pm me price LOL

pm sent stig

[FallenAngel]

If i'm not mistaken but the throttle booster doesn't give any performance gain...?

So technically you would have kept up with the wrx (STI i'm not so sure =/) without it anyways.

[JOhnnyFD]

e-throttle just gives better engine response.. so i'm able to take off earlier than b4, rev the engine quicker, and able to match the other car's speed and pace until a certain point

i only matched the wrx's pace til a certain speed, then i backed off but was able to stay behind him throughout the way.

does not add power in anyway watsoever.. sif these mods would make me beat a wrx... but a turbo hmmm lol
