Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[curtis265]

114 if u got enough mods. but atw u get like... 85.

I remember at autosalon in 2008, there was an FD2... putting out 76 kW atw!

[JOhnnyFD]

i believe fallenangel's FD1 got his to 88.9kw atw.. aiming for 90's

done recently at ISMR dyno day.. mods put on was ingen CAI, and a muffler catback exhaust system of some sort

If thats the case that FD2 is ****ed lol...

Yea, 88.9kw atw, with Injen CAI, Custom Catback exhaust.. 8kW gain over stock

[JOhnnyFD]

true that.. sure it wasnt an FD1 tat did 76kw atw
usually lose 25-30kw of power from the engine to the wheel

[curtis265]

i'm pretty sure i saw a K20 in it - i'll go check my photos.

Lol my bad, it was getting 87-90 kW - sounds better doesn't it. XD

I think i got 76 confused with something i pulled out of my butt

[Wayne]

anyone know the size of the FD front reading light and rear seat roof lights bulb size?

i know is festoon.. but i bought the wrong 1 from autobarn yesterday.. will T10x31 fit?

[curtis265]

T10 is wedge.

I think you need a 35mm festoon.

[Wayne]

ok.. thanks for the info.. that information is from sylvania website.. =)

i just measured it from my car.. front and rear is the same using T10x31 Festoon.. what i bought from Autobarn is 36mm.. =(

[liquid23]

35mm is too big.

this is the kind u need. the 2 smd led is brighter than the 6 led ones
i bought both kinds. i have all festoon 2 smd led in mine and my gf has the 6 led ones

[ekdez]

needs to get his lip kit and bill painted asap. lol
not a HUGE fan of the decals but props for being different =]

[black8thgen]

wow. very unique. love the foggies. tim style =D. never seen anything like tht before. looks good! =]

[curtis265]

<3 LED's

[aero]

im guessing he's slowly getting the kit painted. the last picture has his sideskirt painted.
its a nice looking car and i like the led foggies.

[black8thgen]

nah its black in the last pic. just the shadow makes it look silver haha

[edmbranch]

it's painted matt black at the moment.. :)

[Wayne]

he did it purposely i reckon.. xD

[Stig]

I have a HID kit for sale, 6000k h11, the one you get off carx (Trader on Ozhonda), anyone want? :D

[warwick108]

ill take it for 50 bux.. =)

[Stig]

only been used for 2 weeks mind you :)

[Wayne]

why sell it stig?

[sirdistik]

The pattern reminds me of "Police and Nurses Credit Society".. anyone?

[warwick108]

2 weeks.. well since that case.. 40 bux.. =)

[Stig]

why sell it stig?

got 8000k fogs now, dont need 6000k

[black8thgen]

whats the best way in changing ur fogs if u got mugen kit on? do u go from underneath the front bumper? because last time i did that, had to pull out the left side of the bumper and detach it because the air box is in the way,

so how do ya change ur foggies stig?

[xqwzit]

^if its just halogen you can change from fender even with the air box.
if hid remove front bumper
thats what i did

[Stig]

removed the whole bumper with the mugen lip still in tact

[JOhnnyFD]

after driving da rav4 with yellow jdm foglights.. its inspiring me to maybe put on jdm foglights on my civic later on

[ej20i]

i thought the honda book says that you just pop of the vent next to the fogs and theres a screw or two that holds the fogs in place?am i rong?since im changing some1s fogs soon

[black8thgen]

yea thats how it is. but with the mugen lip kit on. the front plastic piece won't come out, without like ripping the mugen lip out.. well thats what it seemed like was gonna happen when i tried lol. So had to detach the front bumper a bit on the left side. For the right side you can go from the under carriage, just undo the clips.

I was just looking for an easier way, I'll try the fenders as Stig said next time. Tim i gotta change my fogs soon so maybe we'll meet up and try figure it out?

[Wayne]

got 8000k fogs now, dont need 6000k

lolz.. 6000k match with my 6000k headlights.. xD

[aero]

id wanna get 6000k headlights and some yellow hid foggies... like 3000k?
currently im just on mtec cosmic blue bulbs and stock yellow foggies lol

[Wayne]

yeah man.. make sure u get the "REAL DEAL" 3000k.. hehe.. becoz some of them just tinted the bulb with some yellow stuff and make like 3000k.. this is reduce the lumen and look fake.. haha.. the REAL DEAL 3000k is brighter than 4300k.. =)

[curtis265]

i want 3000k colour high beams :(

[aero]

so yeah.. pretty pissed off that i scraped the side of my car pretty bad against my fence post when i was coming home tonight. went into the driveway at a too acute angle, i guess and now my right rear door is all scratched and the right rear quarter panel. gonna cost me a pretty penny. gonna have to use up money i had saved for coils and probly more to get it resprayed >.<

[JOhnnyFD]

ouchh... i feel for ya bro
if it makes u feel any better, my front bumper got smashed in and its still at the repairers for over a month now :( just waiting on the japanese parts, are taking forever to get here

if the scratch isnt tat deep, you could try buffing that shiet out

[xqwzit]

lolz.. 6000k match with my 6000k headlights.. xD

hid fog is over kill

[amuson]

hey guys
wondering if anyone know whether there's two different size front red honda badges for our cars?
is the jdm TR badge smaller than our?
thanks

[aero]

there are 2 sizes.. there's the replica red H badge for the fd1 and the genuine fd2r badges. these are slightly smaller than the replicas. u can still fit the genuine ones onto ur fd grille. the difference isnt that great (unless ur extremely anal).

[liquid23]

changed my headlights from angel to audi awhile ago but just have time now to upload

Does anyone know where I can buy the antenna plug converter for FD?
I hardly find that item.

Thanks

[liquid23]

[beep1011]

Ok thanks, I'll try Jay Car this weekend then

[ekdez]

lol. be good!

[ej20i]

nice...nice...nice...
and stay for longer this time (try)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

to johnnyFD....
im quite interested in the sprint booster crap either Buddy Club or the Cusco...any recomendation and any power difference??do u feel it??is it worth it??which one do u have??

[curtis265]

makes vtec kick in, yo

[JOhnnyFD]

nice...nice...nice...
and stay for longer this time (try)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

to johnnyFD....
im quite interested in the sprint booster crap either Buddy Club or the Cusco...any recomendation and any power difference??do u feel it??is it worth it??which one do u have??

crap:confused:
ive got the buddyclub e-throttle booster, its da bomb... it does not give any increase in power, it just decreases or turns off the dbw that our car has.. thus increase responsiveness from the foot onto the pedal to the engine

buddyclub has the features of a dial controller to adjust the responsiveness.. i believe theres like 32levels of adjustment settings between the minimal to maximum setting, also the unit can be turned on or off

to be honest, the buddyclub is rather expensive.. a unit like this cost around 800.. and its from japan.. but once i had a trial run with it on my car, i can definately feel it, no more lag and even on the minimum setting the car revs more easily than before without the unit.

sprintbooster doesnt give u the level of control

blitz and shadow have 3 modes of dbw settings

i aint sure about the cusco

[ej20i]

so in YHO, do u think its much worth it to spend 800 on BC then 400 on Sprint Booster??
and the others?
well i havent seen the others available for purchase in Australia yet..
any sources?
im really keen on getting this...is ur car FD1 or 2?

[JOhnnyFD]

800 is the retail price for the unit, i got a cheaper deal but yeh its entirely up to u

i wouldnt really recommend sprintbooster since once u put it on, u cant turn the unit off, and u would have to take off the unit manual.. also it doesnt provide any mode settings of dbw control

nowadays, dbw controller have settings and modes coz people want to have a sense of responsiveness as well as keepin in check with their fuel consumption.. reason dbw on our civic is for fuel efficiency.

i believe shift performance has the shadow controller (made in taiwan) which is similar to blitz having 3 modes of control.. i know this coz i was there installin the shadow gauges and they asked me about my buddyclub and they showed me the new shadow product, theyve been looking for some1 to install their shadow dbw controller but i was lik nah, i already have the buddyclub

and i have an FD1

also, since purchasing the buddyclub e-throttle booster, ive never looked back.. its great

[curtis265]

Is it really worth it to eliminate a bit of lag, intentionally put there to protect the engine anyway?

[JOhnnyFD]

hehe.. i was fine before with the lag of the dbw, but when i trial the buddyclub.. i was like, i couldnt believe the huge difference

"TECHNICAL

Electronic throttle or drive-by-wire throttle systems utilise a sensor incorporated into the vehicle’s main Engine Control Unit (ECU) to translate your mechanical pedal effort into electronically modulated opening and closing of the throttle plate in the throttle body. From the factory, the ratio of pedal movement to throttle plate opening is governed by the ECU and is meant to provide the most reasonable compromise between pedal sensitivity and throttle plate movement. The e-Throttle Booster acts as a modifier of that signal, allowing you to increase or decrease the ratio at will, fine tuning the pedal actuation experience to the driving task at hand. With its fast microprocessors, the e-Throttle Booster can virtually eliminate the perceived lag between pedal and throttle plate; it also has the capability to modify the total angle opening of the throttle plate in real time, allowing more air (and therefore, more power production ability) into the engine intake tract Because of the method used to intercept and modify the signal, as well as the point in the ECU system where the signal is modified, the e-Throttle Booster will not be detected by the car’s OBDII system; therefore, the factory ECU cannot “override” your settings, nor will the e-Throttle Booster cause Diagnostic Trouble Codes."

[sKy.xD]

I find the dbw sooo friggin annoying at times but i can't justify paying that amount. If it was around the same price as the spring booster I would look into it. But for that price money can be spent better elsewhere .. like coils that I want haha

[JOhnnyFD]

the blitz and shadow dbw controllers should be the around 300-400 mark

[rene]

the blitz and shadow dbw controllers should be the around 300-400 mark

Someone told me before that sprintbooster was a hoax? is this true?

Also guys hence I am not into engine's mod, but I have a question,
IMHO If you all spending hips amount of money on a civic just to boost the engine up, isnt it much easier and more efficient to just buy a natural born car that is built for speed? i.e. shrug i dont know twin turbo car? skyline R type, Lan Evo etc etc? I could be wrong but please enlighten me.

Jeremy Clarkson - Top Gear did say that the new Subaru is total poopy compare to the new evo lol.

[black8thgen]

i think most people just started off with a civic thinking.. nah not gonna go mod this out.. like me.. or maybe its just me?

But yeah im on redPs still =.=... full license = EVO! =D

[JOhnnyFD]

civics just for some fun and gain some modding experience
once im 25.. possibilities are endless hehe

but in a few more years time, theres gonna be a tonne of civic mods available

[cracker]

hmmm is there any more power related mods such as branded extractors we can put on? or a exhuast system designed for the fd?

[aero]

civics just for some fun and gain some modding experience
once im 25.. possibilities are endless hehe

but in a few more years time, theres gonna be a tonne of civic mods available

in 10 years time, these will be like the EGs and EKs of the next gen. kids gonna be buying cheap FDs, to do engine swaps and all other types of mods lol.

[eeKayFouR]

yeh hopefully mods become more readily available here.. mainly headers which get rid of the cat would free up a lot of restriction.. wonder what engine mods people will b doing in the future too!

[sKy.xD]

K20a supercharged!

[ekdez]

yeah i cant wait to get headers and a hi-flow cat or whatever!

haha ed now i know what you mean :P

yea boy.. i dunno.. every one's forcing me not to part out.. a few mates are offering me money to keep it on..


y would u do that?
how much u selling the kit for?
cause it scrapes when i get outta my driveway and it's steep.. :D but i'll reconsider if i'm parting out.. i'll keep it for a month and see how it goes..

need to damp it more as well.. the front are scrubbing the fender with one finger gap..

[xqwzit]

go get wheel alignment done and stiff it up a bit

[edmbranch]

yea got it done this morning.. neg camber all 4's.. less scrubbing now.. still scrubs under hard cornering.. so gotta raise it one round.. so 2mm and damping it moooooore..

but if i raise it by 2mm i'll need to re align the front again..

[xqwzit]

yeah play around with it and get it perfect.
thats how its done :P
but at the end of the day the car is yours, if you want handling spec then do it.
dont listen to mates thats how i fked up!

[edmbranch]

yeah play around with it and get it perfect.

but at the end of the day the car is yours, if you want handling spec then do it.

yep.. will do.. i'll adjust it over the next few weeks.. i think the coils have setttled in overnight..

[ej20i]

man, gota be your rims eh thats not the right offset or something...im not scrubbing at all with .5 finger gap man

[edmbranch]

man, gota be your rims eh thats not the right offset or something...im not scrubbing at all with .5 finger gap man

yea.. someone's after my rims.. the only thing that will fit perfectly and in my budget is bc p1 rims 18x7.5+42 .. currently sitting on 18x8 +45.. gotta wait for confirmation from the buyer..

i've just raised the front 15mm + 12 clicks at the front.. 10 clicks at the back.. it's all good now.. brought it out for a spirited drive for an hour..no scrubbing..

seems to be scrubbing cause of the damping being at 8 clicks at the front..

brought a girl type friend along.. she said her bewbi*s were bouncing.. me like..

[JOhnnyFD]

ive got on the buddyclubs P1 SF 18x7.5 +42 rims.. those are nice rims :thumbsup:

[edmbranch]

[cracker]

hey guys...ive been doing some HEAVY reading..and i think turbos are good? i think they make the car go faster? im not sure.....it might be a conspiracy...but maybe we all shud buy a kit nd start being more proud of our all show no go sexy FDz....its time to murder the VL turboz

[aero]

lol. do it cracker! and keep feeding us on updates on it:thumbsup:

[ekdez]

i'd be happy with headers and a cat LOL..
but if they bring turbo kit over first.. gg to my warranty lol

[curtis265]

cracked block? inflated intake manifold? Careful.

[cracker]

the thrill of driving a turbo car is amazing...just finding a reliable kit is hard...im pretty sure the zage kit came out last year....i wish there was a mugen one hahaha it'd probably cost 20000000 dollars tho

[JOhnnyFD]

would want a mugen supercharger

[rk 86 wa]

just bought some new track rims for the r comps :P bit of an outlandish colour haha

08 accord rims? (i think) and diy respray haha)

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r384/milba1112/IMG_7639.jpg

thanks to kev for the photo

[ej20i]

ummm WOW!!!

[ekdez]

do you get understeer from the fronts being too skinny?
are they 6.5" at the front?

[.k.]

looks awsome!

[curtis265]

thats pretty cool looking

[rk 86 wa]

nah no understeer, they are 6.5 but ive got 225 r comps on them :P

Having said that I get no heat into the rears so it oversteers like a s******* lol.

Give it a few months and they will most likely be green or dark purple haha.

[cracker]

Woah!!!!!!!!!! Bright!!!

[curtis265]

Has anyone got DRLs running? In t he US they ahve a fuse which allows the HB's to be running with lower power so theyre not bright... They're to be seen, not to see with.

The acura CSX shop manual says fuse holder 37 under the dash does it... but i'm too chicken to try lol

I can't find my owner's manual too so thats why i ask Ozh.

[ej20i]

wad is it DRLs??

Late post, but what wheels are they?

[black8thgen]

work xd9s in gunmetal i think?

[rene]

Guys anyone by any chance know someone who wants to buy a 2008 manual Night Hawk Black Mileage only 9700 smooth as?

I am selling mine, I cant park my car into my driveway :( and no i dont separate the mods. Selling as is and I still have the original parts. My brother decided to buy another car :( so we have to let go the civic hence i am buying SUV soon.

[curtis265]

DRL is daytime running lights.

It leaves ur highbeams on, but just not very bright so they dont generate much heat but it makesu more visible. BMW's have them on their halo rings

Oh well i tried putting the fuse in #37 but no luck :(

[ekdez]

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/7903/lowered1.jpg (http://img257.imageshack.us/i/lowered1.jpg/)

yea.. it's XD9...

go lower hehe =]

[ej20i]

oooh...in that case, i got my DRL already...the audi style LED!
HAHHAHA

[black8thgen]

oh do u tim?!!!?

is it ur LED's in the foglight area? or did ya just install some LED strips on the headlight cover?

[ej20i]

in teh foggies area!

[black8thgen]

oh are they always on during the day too?! sick

[ej20i]

yea, connected to my parker lights

[aero]

have u ever been pulled over by cops or anything for those?

[ej20i]

nope!

[curtis265]

I was thinking of a circuit such that the HB's are on low power when ur start the car.

When u turn the headlights on, the HB's come off, and when u flick ur stalk forward or backward it puts the HB's on high power.

Do u get wut i mean?



ej20i, ur Audi-style LED's look hella nice ey. Lucky no cops pull u over. Apparently it's illegal to use 'fog lights' when theres no 'fog'...

[ej20i]

yea it is, but then again its not really a fog light...since its so dim, cant be classified as a fog light since Audis used to do them to their cars well now the new Merc E-class as well
mercs is hella nice too
thanks tho curtis
im gona study this DRL business

[curtis265]

If it could auto-on it'd be fully sick ey ^^

Hello

So what coils are these?

[ekdez]

his on n+

[FlyingChicken]

Not bad at all

[.k.]

u got any pics like the one edm put up of urs ekdez? i wnana see how low ur car is so i can make up my mind which coils i'll get (will take ages im poor)..

was thinking of getting some kingsprings for now for a drop of abut 2" roughly.. will it literally be 2" lower then now? like will it eliminate the last lil bit of gap? or because of whatever wheels i have on it wont go as low?

[sKy.xD]

If you might eventually get coils, don't touch king springs man ... Your gona be scrubbing and scraping your kit with a bouncy soft ride.

[aero]

i just took my car in today to get all the scratches n lil dings fixed from my incident last week, so i should get it back in a couple of days.

anyway, my tax return money will be coming in soon and i am looking for some coilies. im just looking for something basic and low cost like d2 or bc (not buddyclub), since it will just be for street use. does anyone know where i can buy them in australia for the fd1?

[.k.]

if i can get a decent drop and maintain a somewhat soft ride i'm not too fussed.. is it worth it tho i dunno :S if it says roughly 2" drop will i actuall get it down 2"~ ? or if u hva bigger wheels its not as much drop or whatever? what affects drop as if i got springs they'd just be going into stock shocks

[black8thgen]

dont get springs, its a waste.. as i have been persuaded by everyone haha. Just wait for coils =].

[warwick108]

my ride easily looks better than that.. =P.. i dont see no elvis on ur rear view mirror?.. =P

[ekdez]

u got any pics like the one edm put up of urs ekdez? i wnana see how low ur car is so i can make up my mind which coils i'll get (will take ages im poor)..

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/DSC06689-1.jpg

sorry for bad pic.. ill get a new one once i get new tires and lower it more =]


here is an old one..

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/IMG_1066.jpg

[ekdez]

oh new mod.

swapped from work rs black to work rs red =]

[aero]

damn.. from those pics i cant even tell that u have camber on the rear. makes me reconsider if its even worth paying for a kit.

[ekdez]

yeah if anything it made it more straight..

[aero]

this is just a quick quote from a senior member in the 8thgen.com forums on the skunk2 camber kit.


u can adjust it up too +-3 degree.... meaning if u drop it 3 inches it will get it back to factory specs....

so.. if i drop my car 2" and set it at the max of -3 camber, there will be some small visible sign of inward tyres, so they can be tucked... slightly. but, if i were to set it at -2 with a 2" drop, then the wheels will just be straight up and down like stock... is this right?

[.k.]

cars hot man, what clearance u got atm from front/back etc? and u still got much room (thread) to play with to lower car more on (you have n+ right?)

wish i had as mch wheels as that lol uni ftl

i just woek up and thats doing my head in thinkign about it LOL
either way.. i was hoping it would be like the other skunk2 camber kits where you can adjust them to +/-6
i guess when there is a new one out i might go grab that one instead..


im getting my rear guards flared out as much as i can tonite before the paint cracks or bubbles.. gonna ask the guy to not use a heat gun.. and just elbow grease... if thats possible haha.. make him work for his money LOL

thanks yo. im a bit over my car's look atm hence why i want new rims hehe
maybe some tire shine will make it nicer? LOL
maybe i should get some genuine mugen visors =]

mm you can put the car on the ground IF you wanted to.. but like ive said before thats not very practical. but if you wanted to put it on the ground some guard work would need to be done.. but its possible :thumbsup:


edit: i at uni too LOL im meant to be writing a critical reflection atm esh!

[ej20i]

[ekdez]

[xenfacta]

[aero]

i was going to get my rims powdercoated in matte black. any ideas how much it would cost me? im getting a bit sick of the gunmetal grey

ive heard many people say different prices on that. some say they've had their wheels powder coated for $200, while others have paid $500. i think it just depends on the place that u go to for a professional powder coat.
u can try calling up some local places around ur area or city to get better idea as to how much it will cost you.

[Stig]

Work T1S
Front: 20x8.5+30 A Disk
Rear: 20x8.5+30 O Disk

man that is really tempting

[ekdez]

you settle for nothing less then 20's aye..
and damn. those are some intense offsets they gonna fit?

[Stig]

sticks out quite a bit (bit more than an inch from stock), well that idea is blowned out the window until next year when i gather up some more dosh. got something else instead ;)

[ekdez]

[rene]

its more towards dry carbon...heat resistance, not the glossy type...

3M dried carbon sticker. Not only that this stickers comes with different colour as well mmmm imagine what sort of colour you can mix and match..endless combination.

[ej20i]

woot sure thing...lets do group "install" as well after lol where one could learn from other mistake but believe me if you have done minor gundam, car, aeroplane model then this should be easy for you.

[ekdez]

jdm yard has a cf bonnet for $550!

[ej20i]

and this is under 100 bux and u dont have to worry about ur oem bonnet lying around at home...and plus our bonnet is nearly same weight as cf bonnet anyway

[black8thgen]

damn, so tempting LOL. i wouldn't mind putting this over my bonnet.... how much per metre rene?

and also with this, no need to worry about the illegality of a carbon bonnet? =D.

[ekdez]

anyone want my n+ coilovers?
i wanna buy some air runners lol

[curtis265]

^dammmmm what an opportunity

[ej20i]

depending on price ekdez

[ekdez]

wont be selling it for a a month or two i need to gather the money for air runners first LOL! i cant ride on stock sus, i hate boating.
plus it wont be easy since, im going to qld for a holi, my 21st, etc.. LOL
just eoi =] but ill be selling it for around 1.8-2g only driven >5000km's on it.
plus depends if people can source the air runners hehe

[aero]

[Stig]

[Fung]

What you guys think?

HOT..bcoz this is what i planned to do as well!!!!

same taste man!!!

[liquid23]

and this is under 100 bux and u dont have to worry about ur oem bonnet lying around at home...and plus our bonnet is nearly same weight as cf bonnet anyway

i don't think oem bonnet is same weight as a cf bonnet. my cf bonnet weights in at 5.1kgs. pretty sure the oem weights more, can fell the weight differences easily by just opening the two different bonnets

[ej20i]

oh relly?coz my impreza cf is lighter by 500 G compared to my oem bonnet

[ekdez]

pm me when you get a price and distributor on air runners, if its in my price range ill consider as well

pm sent.

[Jackee]

Has anyone ever modded a bluish silver civic? If so can they post pictures, I want to see what it looks like with a mugen rear spoiler if possible =) thanks!

[curtis265]

someone did! i asked the exact same question before.....

here u go http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6600/n55046449511399064021.jpg

it looks great imo - rare.

[Jackee]

Is the actual colour 'bluish silver' different for 2009 fd1? The facelifted ones seem to be a lighter shade , might just be me though. I also have VTI and I don't think i should be getting my wheels swapped anytime soon as I do want to keep the warranty, might look a bit weird. Thanks for the pic curtis.

Ducktails look cool also , would you happent o have a pic for that =P

[Jackee]

hey all,

has anyone looked into getting a nose mask or car bra of some sort.. i got a stone flung at my car whilst driving next to a derty holden.. lucky it hit my windscreen..

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5425/29473824557f13f81cc0o.jpg

woah that looks awesome .

[curtis265]

nah i haven't seen any ducktails on bluish silver ones, but there's gotta be a few hybrids floating around which you can find...

the FA's look good don't they :(

[aero]

where can i source a ducktail spoiler?

[.k.]

hunt down a duck.. knife - right click a few times then slash.. zip-tie to your boot - done =]

[denot]

Lol curtis! thanks for the complement on my previous ride mate! Yeah, that's why I choose the bluish silver colour when I got them. and its the only one that have different interior trim to the rest (sports model).

I kinda miss the car a bit now... :p
