[black8thgen]

yeah how can it check blind spot =/..

[ekdez]

hey all. no new mods, they are coming next week...
getting my j's exhaust put in finally..
and gonna get around to paying you fallenangel =]

but anyhow.. just a story for now! =]

lol.. it rained yesterday in canberra.. quite heavily and the roads became somewhat slippery.. and the skill of some canberra drivers showed.. i saw two cars flipped on their roof's in the space of 10 km's.

one of them being a civic fd, facelifted version. :| to be honest.. i think the stupid roof/window wedge design of our car probably saved that persons life.. cos it sits on a tilt. and those pillars are strong!

i got a picture.. ill upload it later today.. i cant find the connection thingo..

i wonder what the Mcat rating for our car was.. cos i know the euros was only 1 out of 5 lol

[curtis265]

Thank the super-pillars lol

but what if those tanky pillars caused the accident in the first place

[cracker]

lol cracker you just aiming to get banned again arent you?

ahhhhhhh...watever i do its evil lol

[Fung]

lol u serious???

euro 1/5!

i guess if the accident is something to do with flippin our cars
our rating is 5/5

otherwise.....daily....0/5

[howy]

lol u serious???

euro 1/5!

i guess if the accident is something to do with flippin our cars
our rating is 5/5

otherwise.....daily....0/5

Not really, I survived an accident (not at fault) where my car was written off.

We got out with no major injuries, only whiplash and bruises.

so I would rate it:

Daily = 4/5

[Fung]

then we must be safe in the inside....but not ppl outside XD

[kazam]

saw a black FD hooning it around waitara 2day at around 4pm.... possible mugen kit, with black rims.... i think probly an air filter to.. sounded beefy....

[cracker]

^ that was me, did it have a supra sticker on it?

[black8thgen]

lol cracker what mods u got under the hood to make it sound beefy?

[kazam]

it wasn't him lol

[black8thgen]

oh lol, oh it might be ej20i, fits his cars description haha. black rims with red lip? i think he comes down to waitara sometimes

[ej20i]

MhMMMM was me...had some problem wif the new SRI i just installed...car kept stalling and engine lights on...honda told me to take it out for a trash around the block
LOL!

[black8thgen]

ohhhhh. what sri have ya got on it? haha

[kazam]

MhMMMM was me...had some problem wif the new SRI i just installed...car kept stalling and engine lights on...honda told me to take it out for a trash around the block
LOL!

lol hoon, sounds good though. was obvious u had some sort of an intake on it!

[Ivan_Y]

MhMMMM was me...had some problem wif the new SRI i just installed...car kept stalling and engine lights on...honda told me to take it out for a trash around the block
LOL!

same thing happen to me, engine light is on after installed SRI, let me know if Honda advice is works dude :thumbsup:

[ej20i]

well wad i did, i resetted the ecu and den the engine light turns off...and i let the car idle for a bit 10 minutes and den rev it abit for a while and it shud be fine i hope...since all day yesterday, the car stalls in every traffic light...it made me look bad i swear...

[ej20i]

btw, i got a simota intake from sam at shift performance....awesome guy
here it is
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/IMG_0257.jpg

i did that, more than 5 times lol but the engine light will comes up again after you drive it for a day. hopefully not happen to urs. what brand is ur SRI? mine is simota and one of my mate use simota as well on his civic and he had the same problem. he tried to ask honda and they said its the lev system of vtec that tell us the engine got too much air, have no idea with that statement. i think k&n does a better job on this.

[Ivan_Y]

LOL just saw ur image after i reply ur post. the conclusion is, simota didnt do a good job on civic SRI :thumbdwn:, i will try to change my filter with 3A Racing on monday, will see how it go.

[ej20i]

hmmmmm well im worried noW!!lol
let me know after eh, are u changing the whole system or just the filter?if just the filter i got a k&n at home thinking of swapping it

[Ivan_Y]

hmmmmm well im worried noW!!lol
let me know after eh, are u changing the whole system or just the filter?if just the filter i got a k&n at home thinking of swapping it

hopefully not happen to urs. im thinking to change the filter only. well, if the light comes up again on urs, u can swap the filter with k&n and restart the ecu again. if it works, then i'll buy a new filter on monday and problem solved lol

[ej20i]

i'll update u man 2nite...u indo yea?

[JOhnnyFD]

nice.. air filter looks pretty cramped in there.. plannin to get lik a heat shield?

i'm thinkin of hittin up a CAI.. either Injen or K&N

[ej20i]

hey ivan, i just replaced my simota to a K&N i used to use for the Wrx...so it was a smaller filter...the car idles nicely at around 760 compared to simota idled between 400 - 1000 which was weird. the car does not give any sign of stalling anymore...but yet to discover in near future...
its all good signs atm

[jem.142]

i had the exact same experience with my Simota SRI but mine had a K&N filter on the end. i think you'll find that the Check Engine light will constantly turn on. no matter how many times you reflash the ecu. all in all i decided to take it out and put the stock box back in, but i do miss the sound. hopefully the same doesnt happen to you but i just thought id let you know my experience

[Ivan_Y]

its all good signs atm

i thought you gonna wait till the engine light on again with ur simota lol well thats good, hopefully it will not on again. i guess the filter is allright, but maybe too much for civic. did you put the simota filter to other car? wondering if this ok for others. and yes im indo hehe

[Ivan_Y]

so u using k&n filter with simota sri piping and the engine light still on? hmm i guess k&n typhoon intake doesnt have this problem, bad simota :(

[FD2mugen]

has any body tried this CAI? would like to know if this brand is any better than SIMOTA since its pratically doulbe the price.

I would definetly buy this if there would be no hassle on engine light or any king of error code.
The only hassle i could see if the fitment which a bit tight but then again its CAI so it should better that SRI.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110410590128

[ej20i]

yea i was gona wait...but i cudnt wait
the k&n doesnt produce as loud sounds as the simota...i guess its not as much air
hehe

[eeKayFouR]

hmm dc5r wheels are on the car.. can drive around but i don't feel too safe as when the wheels are on there is like 0.5mm clearance to the brake calipers at the front. Seems also when i turn left sometimes i can hear it scraping a little - not a loud noise but audible - should i take the wheels off or whatt? fkn gay clearance

[FallenAngel]

INJEN CAI FTW =D

no problems what so ever

[ej20i]

hmmmmm...with k&n filter...still a fail....
im thinking the breather shud probably direct it to the filter some how...

[Stig]

INJEN CAI FTW =D

no problems what so ever

LOL :thumbsup:

besides the fact that the chassis eats into the bottom half of the tubing... :thumbdwn: felt like crap when i saw that

sounds awesome above 3,000rpm on 2nd gear WOT

a mate of mine did it on his fd, he just did some sanding to the caliper.. it should be kangazz if i'm not wrong bout his user id, u could pm him..

[Ivan_Y]

hmmmmm...with k&n filter...still a fail....
im thinking the breather shud probably direct it to the filter some how...

oil breather? it could be. do u have any spare oil breather? today i was driving the car with engine light still on but somehow after i check air on every tyre then fill up the gas, the engine light is off, really happy, then going home, still off. go to my mates house, still off, but when i drove back home, its on again :thumbdwn:

[ej20i]

I'll think up of a way on how to mod the breather to connect directly to the filter hose.

[.k.]

lame - pictures suck.. shud try get more as my car is relatively clean atm =]

* dc5r wheels & a mugen rep grille w/ plastic radiator cover thing removed as it looks dodgey with it in as the grille finishes; gap; plastic; gap; bonnet. FTL!


whats everyone think of the wheels? look ok or not?

[JOhnnyFD]

to be honest here... the dc5r rims look too OEM-looking for me.. are they 16, 17"??

but that front lip looks good.. car needs to be lowered definitely.. make that front lip stand out

[ekdez]

they are 16" johnny. they too small for fd. need 17",18"+

@ .k., what do i think of your new mod..
not the biggest fan of your new rims. although its far better then rolling on steelies! =]
i hate fat tires. sorry LOL.. should get a 40 profile on that and then slam like bricisa, i think, the guy with the black fd on buddyclubs. then it'd be ok =]

[.k.]

yeh big step up from steelies =]

usually im not a fan of fat tyres either but in this case they help to fill up the guards and make car less 4wd looking, will be lowered sometime this year i hope once tax money comes back i'll look into getting coilovers n dump the biatch!

i was going to buy enkei rp01's black w/ blue lip but seller was an r-tard

[ekdez]

yeah the black ones u showed everyone a while back?
17"s yeah? should have grabbed them ;)

or even those fn2r wheels on here for sale.. they'd have filled your gaurds and looks even better then the dc5 ones..

[Brescia]

thanks edm branch - few pics of new mods:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/51MPL/IMG_0069.jpg



What profile tyre are they?
16"s are a good size imo, i have 16's and im not going any bigger

[JOhnnyFD]

18" FTW.. haha

[Fung]

ill be happy with 17"

[aero]

at least u got em cheap, khoi. why would u save for coils? u gonna be doing some tracking? id just dump it on low as springs lol.. save myself some money to just go for the looks :p

[.k.]

i just want the adjustability and be able to hav fun on mt runs. scared if i get springs it won't be the right drop i want etc?

[ekdez]

id just dump it on low as springs lol.. save myself some money to just go for the looks :p

if you drop your car on real low springs (more then 1.5") your stock shocks will blow in no time..

they will leak and it will be the worst ride and you'll reminisce on the times when you had stock shock/spring combo and was contemplating the option of coilovers. ;)

[black8thgen]

oh.. so dropping 2" on skunk2 springs will fk my shocks over?.. lucky you told me now lol.. looks like i wont drop until i get coils then.. phew.. haha. how about 1.4" on tein stechs?

[aero]

i just dont like a stiff ride. i know that some coilovers do have adjustable dampening, but they do cost more than the cheaper ones and the ride comfort is still harsh. id go for a spring and shock combo coz i just want the lowered look and i'll only be driving on the streets, not track.

u can get away with a good amount of time on the stock shocks before they blow, and when they do, u can always get the shocks to fit ur lowering springs, right?
a good set of springs and shocks may only cost the same amount (or cheaper) as a cheapo quality coilover. if i just wanted to lower my car, i'd go for the springs. i have no money to turn my fd into a performance beast lol :p

[ekdez]

you mention you don't want a stiff ride.. lowered springs greater then 1.5" on a stock shocks gives you a bouncy ride.. your not making sense dude. i'd rather have a "stiffer" ride and be in control of my car, then to have non captive springs and be bouncing out of control around a corner. your better off to pay that little extra, besides your car is detectable with lowered springs that aren't captive and its considered dangerous, where as coil overs are acceptable.


u can get away with a good amount of time on the stock shocks before they blow, and when they do, u can always get the shocks to fit ur lowering springs, right?

lowered springs will do the job. but like you said.. "it will only last you a certain amount of time".. there is no set time limit and there is always the possibility they will blow straight away. either way i dont see the point in short term fix's.. each to their own, im only giving you my 2c.

and no. if you get a set of lowered springs.. its not guaranteed to find a shock to suit that specific lowered spring, although there are some exceptions.

i dunno how much you research your stuff before you do stuff to your car like lowering it etc.. but a coilover's diameter of the shock is way smaller then the stock shock, when lowering your car the offset and width of the wheels play an important roll in determining weither its going to work or not.. lowered spring may give you that lowered look but did you consider where your wheel is going to end up in relation to the chassis.. just remember springs cant be adjusted and if you chop them then you an idiot.

i dont mean to be rude but look where you ended up with your rims.. your real keen to sell up cos im guessing you didnt consider that type of stuff.


a good set of springs and shocks may only cost the same amount (or cheaper) as a cheapo quality coilover. if i just wanted to lower my car, i'd go for the springs. i have no money to turn my fd into a performance beast lol :p

up to you in the end..

all im trying to say is your better off to spend that little extra to save the heart break that you WILL get from the short term fix.
doing it first time correctly is gonna save ou plenty of money in the long run. thats all im gonna say.

[ej20i]

coilover is the only way to go
it does wonders as fallenangel once told me
LOL!

[JOhnnyFD]

agreed with dez and ej20

its better off getting the entire suspension setup rather than the springs since they may not necessary match the dampers... each decent coilover would have the springs matched to the damper setting of the shocks (thus you pay for the R&D that goes into these setups)

and srzly, better save up for a coilover setup and it would give you benefits and save you alot of trouble later on down the track :thumbsup:

and also aero, a coilover setup doesnt necessarily mean that you're going for a performance beast.. after some research and you could find a reasonable price suspension that gives a really comfortable ride as well as lower the car superlow and give great street performance.. like the tanabe sustec pro-nf.. hehehe

[aero]

but lets say black8thgen's situation. he was considering skunk2 springs and they also do happen to do shocks for the FDs. you can get both for your car for cheaper than a good quality and well known brand of coilover and they will do a good job with his stock sport wheels.

like most ppl in here, im a student and dont have much of an income (especially with also having a girlfriend.. lol). it may be short-term, but i'd have the confidence to have enough money to get better suspension later on, after uni.




i dont mean to be rude but look where you ended up with your rims.. your real keen to sell up cos im guessing you didnt consider that type of stuff.


touche' on that one :p.
at the time i purchased the wheels i also had enough money in my bank account to camber them and lower the ride. but due to circumstances, i had to give most of that money to my parents..

lesson learnt.

[ej20i]

mate, if ur relly interested, im thinking of letting my coils go for a better upgrade
hehehehehe
in love wif the teins and pedders...they actually felt the same and roughly the same kind of money?!

[ekdez]

im 20. a 3rd year uni student too LOL..
and with a g/f.. living out of home. whats you trying to say? lol
just got my marks back, a semester of d's ftw!
anyhow time for bed. dont take anything i say personally.. just food for thought! =] rims were hot tho.

[JOhnnyFD]

hmm i heard about skunk2 springs being suited with OEM shocks but are the stock shocks ideal in being lowered?? maybe to a certain amount

ye a gf would suck a guy dry (i mean money-wise :p)

[aero]

mate, if ur relly interested, im thinking of letting my coils go for a better upgrade
hehehehehe
in love wif the teins and pedders...they actually felt the same and roughly the same kind of money?!

i would ask how much, but im soo broke right now. just had my 6th year anniversary with my gf and that ripped a gigantic hole in my wallet and bank account. it was worth it tho lol

[Stig]

im a 3rd year uni student and i cant afford crap LOL

working decreases my grades too -_-

hmmmmm...with k&n filter...still a fail....
im thinking the breather shud probably direct it to the filter some how...

i'm have an Injen SRI on my sport, same problem here at the beginning, though it is because of sucking up too much hot air. taken to honda and they told me to try to reinstall the intake and make sure connections between manfold and the filter are very tight no gaps at all (screw the metal things as hard as i can, not breaking it ofcause) and seal the connections with tapes (<-which i havnt, sounds not making sense). then i reset the ECU by removing the batt and fuse. guese wt, the light never on again. :D
thats my experience, hope its help.

[edmbranch]

hey stig.. have u got buckets on yet?

[ej20i]

Gonna try that as soon as I'm home. Umm, ask nny911 about his springs. He's having a mad fun time in his car after lowered with pedders springs only. I drove it, omg. It's disgusting. My hack hurts and bounces eveywhere. Can't have drinks in the car for sure. It's funny. Feels like hydrolics. Hahahahha

[black8thgen]

ahhh, this is making me think, cheap short term fix with tein springs or skunk2s... or save up round 2k for coils =/..

im in year 12 at school btw LOL... pretty much next to no income =[

edit: at ej.. LOL. yeah reason i dont wanna drop it on springs is cos i hate a bouncy ride lol, atm the stock shocks/springs are reasonably stiff and yeaaaa... but im wondering if tein springs will be all bouncy.. seeing as they are teins (hoping their stiff)

[ekdez]

fk me. yr 12 and u have a fd sport :( ballin LOL

tossing up between the spx-17pro and the boston pro60se

[black8thgen]

what does a monoblock do? =/..

so atm your not running an amp?

[ej20i]

monoblock is a 1 chnl amp black8thgen
hehehhe

[ekdez]

can be 2 channel which is bridgeable into a 1 channel

[ekdez]

quick search of google will return this.

"The other advantages are that the typical monoblock that is a mono version of the same stereo amp has a much more highly rated power supply. This doesn't necessarily give much greater power but usually it invests monoblock versions with a great deal more grunt. The power supply is the most important part of the power amp - it's what serves the juice to be able to drive the speakers, so when your reservoir is twice as big, you can effectively go a lot longer at the same level, or supply bigger bursts of power.

The only disadvantage I can think of apart from cost is the earthing arrangement. A stereo power amp has both channels tied to the same earth point. Monoblocks don't have this since they're separate. A difference in earth potential can make the amps sound slightly difference and can even introducec mains-borne noise. Therefore, it's usually recommended that the monoblocks are plugged in as close to each other as possible. If using a 4-way block, then they should be plugged in next to each other for example." - http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/113603.html

Get the Bostons Stig, I've heard them and they are tops :thumbsup:. Honestly im sick of everyone going on about how alpine this alpine that. They go to JB and ask whats the best and they will tell you get alpine type X everything.

Go to a real car audio store and every speaker in the price range is better. Not saying that they are bad, but are overpriced.

Also why you putting components in the rear? That destroys the sound stage. Also if your going to spend that much in the rears, you might as well spend most in the front speakers and just get cheap coaxials in the rear.

boston acoustics are very good speakers for your jazz and classical music. they are very midrange/treble based. very well made and they use different materials to get different levels of sound waves out of the speaker clearer.. hence why they are a hell of a lot more expensive. these speakers arent for the typical person. they are intended for the more more refined listening, i believe.

where as the typical person who wants to update their sound system wants a decent ammount of bass/midrange/treble out of the same speaker, which is where companies such as pioneer and alpine come into play..

[cracker]

dont dog alpine type x i got the type x sub, it will produce so much vibes that it cud make ur woman climax standing within a 200 meter radius
but dont bother getin the type s's stig. dont bother

To each their own in the end. What sounds good varies between each individual. Im just saying when you want to spend $1000 on speakers you should be much more open to options. I currently have 165KRX2 and they are great for me but some people hate focals.

Needless to say you just have to go out and test for yourselves but i find when people walk in expecting to buy Type X speakers, they walk out with something different.

[Stig]

lol yeah im still just searching around for speakers atm, thats just the final thing missing in the puzzle. only way to find out what speaker you want is to test them out.

wouldnt mind even trading in my type r subs for w7's =D... not anytime soon though LOL

[nny911]

Gonna try that as soon as I'm home. Umm, ask nny911 about his springs. He's having a mad fun time in his car after lowered with pedders springs only. I drove it, omg. It's disgusting. My hack hurts and bounces eveywhere. Can't have drinks in the car for sure. It's funny. Feels like hydrolics. Hahahahha

disgusting huh TIM.? more like ur pussy. man up..
its not bouncy its just effing stiff like mad
handling>comfort:D

[Wayne]

why get w7? just grab the morel ultimo.. u will not regret for the Subwoofer of the year.. =)

i'm broke :( ... until my tax return muahaha

Dont you just wish you could claim all those car mods for "work purposes"!

[ej20i]

hehehehe....my accountant is working on that for me...and fuel and milage and service
heheheh

[rene]

woot which accountant is that Tim? my mate just received phone call from ATO yesterday...while i was standing next to him....farkkkk

[JOhnnyFD]

gettin all of my tax back.. the upside of havin inside ATO connections.. shhshhh
nahh im jk.. its just tat i dont earn enough.. lol

[ej20i]

is he in trouble?ummm nar, coz i used my car for work, travel sales person

[rene]

well if ATO calls you then there's only one explanation they are running an audit against you. ATO will audit everyone, the question is when will they audit you.

By the way my gal is looking for job anyone here know's any opening for low entry job?

that is true. i know what you mean.. i get sick of random people talking like they know everything on car audio when all they know is the jb brands LOL. there is much more to car audio then jb's range LOL.

although i had an alpine pdx mono and a 4 channel and i rated them pretty well.. although they must remain flat and cant be mounted on the seat. :\

i intend to purchase focals for my fronts and rears. i had them in my old ek. very good speakers. not gonna grab a sub this round.. i dont want to rattle my car out of allignment LOL.

btw, do you know if the front speakers for our fd's need to be shallow or can they handle the big magnet on the rear of the speaker?

[ej20i]

okay, i an ex sales man from jb car audio department and now i work at strathfield car radio...im into car audio big time...i just cant afford focals and the rest of the big branders...atm i got kicker up front, alpine rears, kicker amp to run my jl W1 and coustic amp to run the speakers...im quite happy with the sound its producing...i spent around 800 dollars for all that with a clarion deck which costed me around 700 with bluetooth, ipod and whole lot well cept for gps...
u guys have to see it in a salesman point of view, i never tell my customers that Alpines, Kickers, JL are all better than Focal, RF, MBQ. i tell them that they are overpriced for what they are. if u are well off and can afford those brands, be my guest...i'll be happy for u...but people that come to JB and strathfield are people who wants to have a system with limited budget....and im just trying to get my figures....now why would i suggest u to buy an MBQ while u comparing it to a 300$$ splits by alpine?!?!?!?!??!? i thought u wanna save money thats y u came to JB or strathfield car radio?!
AM I RIGHT?!

[ekdez]

eh? i dunno what your getting at.. but i do understand your point.. i havent got any thing wrong with people buying alpine, pioneer, kicker etc.. its just when people come out of jb and think that jb's top range system is the "BEST" and they dont even know what RF or DD is, for an example.

we were talking about boston acoustics.. all i said was that they arent for your average person. cos they are more for jazz and classical music.
then skyxd said each to their own.. people should be just be more open to other brands besides the jb brands.. he stated he has focals and i want those too..


just a question..

wouldn't a "big brand" split costing the same amount as "cheaper" front and rear set up return a better sound?

[ej20i]

oh i get ur point now...hehehehe
sorry for the misunderstanding there.
i thought u were just commenting on the sales person side not the customer side,
ummmm i have heard a lot of splits...NO DOUBT focal is very soft...
in comparion say, JL, Kicker, Apline, MTX, Pioneer, JBL, Sony, and so on, my picks would be the JL, Kicker and JBL as they are not as high pitch..'
price comparion with result, id go for JL over focal
since half the price, quality wise...they are roughly the same IMHO

[sKy.xD]

Yeah i meant the customer side as what ekdez has said. I know people who just think that JB has it all, and obviously if they spend alot there that that's the best there is. They don't know of the big brands that sell at specialised car audio stores.

Also ekdez im pretty sure theres room enough for a big magnet, not sure how big big is though. The focal speaker i had wasn't shallow, but i didnt do the install myself so i have no idea how much room there is.

And of course getting an expensive front split is going to be better then cheaper front and rear. When your getting rears, your already ruining your sound stage in the first place ...

Also what JL and Focal speakers have you heard? Were they setup properly in the car? I doubt you can say that with some of the better focal gear winning SQ comps around Australia. Hearing it on a sound board is much different when installed in a car. Expensive speakers can sound bad if not installed properly. Installation has alot to do with how good speakers will sound in a car.

I much prefer the natural sound of the focal speakers. The vocals come to life with these speakers. I've heard a swap from JL to focal and it was much better imo. The bright tweeters are abit ear bleeding but hopefully when i change my tweeter location from stock to possibly the A pillars then maybe it might be better.

If not ill go looking into getting morels, dynaudio or DLS speakers :cool:

[cracker]

rf and other brands which are heaps good seem too expensive to me to be honest i went for alpine for budget but i didnt want shitty shit on my shit if u dig me. sayn that i mean alpine get awards for their mother****erz so u no why wud i b unhappy with an rms of 1000

[ryanc]

anyone installed a carputer??? or lcd touch screen into a double din for civic fd?

im thinking of spending tax money on getting a double din + lcd touch screen, just not sure which ones fit well

[eeKayFouR]

^^ sounds good mate let us know how u go with that! carputers seem the goods

[ej20i]

i looked into carputer, it wasnt worth it.
double din go for the kenwood DNX7340BT or the Alpines

[black8thgen]

just realised i havnt posted any pics of my car.. heres some quick snaps after i washed it a while ago =].

[black8thgen]

yeah.. although the rear right as in the picture is higher than normal due to the slant of my driveway lol

[d@vid]

hey black8thgen was that a mugen sticker right under ur side mirror :cool:

[howy]

Not digging the led lights, a bit over the top I reckon.

Needs to be dropped otherwise looks good...

[black8thgen]

hey black8thgen was that a mugen sticker right under ur side mirror :cool:

yeah mugen sticker =D. cut the mugenpower bit out cos it looks shit hahaha.

and to howy: yeah i just had this huge impulse to do it lol, never turn the grille ones on at all though bit of a waste =.=.

man im over the moon with alpine products, they do the job well. they do sell the type r and type s at "jb" but not the type x, you gotta go to specialist audio stores to get them... same thing goes with their pdx amps. top of the range alpine equipment are never seen at "jb"

[black8thgen]

i think audio is gonna be one of my final mods, im pretty satisfied with the stock system, except the massive rattling, although that can only be fixed with dynomatt stuff hey =/..

but i think cos i really havn't heard any real great audio systems in cars i can't think anything bad of the stock lol.

[aero]

nice car black8thgen. quite a light show u have as well

[ryanc]

i looked into carputer, it wasnt worth it.
double din go for the kenwood DNX7340BT or the Alpines

why wasn't it worth it?

i have a spare laptop already, planing to put it under the passenger seat

[ej20i]

Umm the touch screen that goes with it cost toooo much. Or u can have keyboard n mouse in ur car which is quite incnvinience while ur driving.

[JOhnnyFD]

a laptop in ur car with wireless internet connection so u can log into ozhonda while u drive.. hehe

srzly y have a laptop in da car unless u have some srz gear in runnin diagnostic checks while u boost in race wars.. fast & da furious style

http://www.streetglow.com/LIGHTSTRIKE-3-MILLION-COLOR-L-E-D-UNDERCAR-KIT-SGL3MC?sc=2&category=2831

by the way.. i watch on JB Hifi leaflet that always stuck in my mailbox.. they not even written out the model of the product.. haha..

but the latest SPX-17PRO is kinda good.. ring radiator on their tweeter.. i think they wanna follow their flagship model on Z18T and Z15M.. but not sure SPX's tweeter made from where.. as i know Z18T and Z15M is OEM by ScanSpeak.. =)

personally my civic just installed 9887 + KTX-100Q only.. as im still thinking what kind of components need to be installed.. but my previous car using ScanSpeak drivers.. supported by Genesis Absolute xover.. running on Thesis.. subwoofer on Morel Ultimo with Hammer H-1.. Helix 1 Farad cap..

the latest K series of Focal have some good review.. but never had chance to audit it.. maybe someone here had install and might give me a try? =p

[ryanc]

lol yeh im not into the whole performance thing, but my laptop's screen is bust and out of warranty plus its a pretty decent laptop

i thought i might as well hook it up to external lcd touch screen so i don't waste it

at least i can get GPS, MP3, Videos, youtube internet watever etc... going on in my car lol :P

gona see if i can get it all done for around $400, double din i guess less than $200? gona see if i can get touchscreen lcd monitor for less than 200, dono if i need second battery but all the wires and electric stuff i hope less than 50bux?? gota look into it and see if its difficult to do

[JOhnnyFD]

so ur gonna hook up ur laptop to this external lcd touchsceen headunit and ur laptop is hooked into the car???

be interestin where u gonna place ur laptop... theres not much room in the front.. unless u remove the passenger seat and put a computer desk there.. lol

or better yet, could somehow do a slide-out-table.. lik they have out in the planes for meals and stuff.. connect ur laptop on that

i srzly doubt 400 is gonna cut it

[ryanc]

gona put the laptop below the passenger seat, more than enough space.. and can put the wires under the carmats.. and detach the LCD screen of the laptop as well

another possible place is in the glovebox since i don't even use it, both should fit easily and should have no problems hooking up :)

ill post a link where i found some guy with a US Civic has done it successfully

[rene]

a laptop in ur car with wireless internet connection so u can log into ozhonda while u drive.. hehe

srzly y have a laptop in da car unless u have some srz gear in runnin diagnostic checks while u boost in race wars.. fast & da furious style

Shrug? porns? lol.

Also for stereo thingy i dont know much into it all, heheh maybe because my ears is not that good.
All I know my old car cx7 produced awesome sounds to my ear...Bose system...is that considered EQ setting? i love it when I play Jazz music you sorta could hear the music is coming live from the front as a whole instead of separate front back left n right kinda thing..

And for the loud base music the kick sounds more round...if you know what I mean? Can we produce the same quality into our car civic? or this is something towards factory setting kinda thing?

[.k.]

yeah u could use a little netbook -maybe mod the glove-box compartment a bit if it all doesn't fit or just buy parts and fit it urself.. mount the motherboard to the bottom of glovebox and everything on it + psu on the side and wires through/behind dash to the screen so you don't have to leave laptop in there. although would be easier i think to use laptop with power inverter/adapter of some sort connected to external screen. let us know how you go!

Netbooks tend to have crappy fans/ventilation system (e.g. Dell Mini9 has none). Better off buying a small casing and using that. Also some laptops have no external power button (i.e. you need to lift up the screen to press the power button) as I realised when I tried to set up a home office docking station with my own LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse.

As another suggestion if you don't want to buy/build a small computer, alot of people have used Mac Mini in the past. Whilst Mac OS X is the default option, you can also install Win XP on it if you really wanted since they run Intel CPUs.

awesome stuff gab, how much was dyno anyway??im raising my car first thing in the morning...learnt my lesson, lost my undertray....over a speed hump...cracked it

[black8thgen]

oh shit =/...... the undertray at the rear? ooft =[.

how long does it take to lower or raise on coils anyway? is it like tricky or really simple/

[FallenAngel]

Dyno was good... happy with the result..

Badluck with the undertray man..

Changing the height of the coils just takes a little bit of time if u wana do it properly..

[ryanc]

lol shit.. bad luck dude.. how much to fix?
just shows our cars at the end ofthe day is just a family car, not somthing to be used for racing/ricing extremely :P

[FallenAngel]

Not really... Tim just was being an idiot =P

Unfortunately he had to learn the hard way

[ej20i]

yup!!!i was being an idiot!!!LOL!
umm maybe just get a new undertray later from honda...hopefully not that much tho

[ekdez]

nice run on the dyno gab! did you install a piggyback system and get it tuned?

i thought the r18 was in the same league as the b18? but they are making around 100kw's with I/H/E.. and we only seem to make 90ish on I/H/E

ALSO ej20i you got a side view? and how high was it off the ground? 5cm's? how high is half a key LOL.. half a key of coke? ;) lol

[black8thgen]

i tihnk he meant half the key to our cars =D. which is like 5-10cm prob?

[FallenAngel]

My car's power mods are only the intake and catback. If we had headers then possibly we can get about 100kW. I didn't service my car beforehand as i only came back from a holiday trip with some friends on friday lool.

I think i can hit the 90.

[FallenAngel]

Just to give you an idea what i was up against =P
