[Stig]

lol sorry, wheels have already been dibbed haha unless i dont end up parting out and keep the car ontop of another car :)

[curtis265]

Someone try this... Tim maybe? Match your LED's

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/do-yourself-articles/184326-led-glow-your-headlights-diy-pics-56k-doom-u.html

basically you're putting LED strips under your headlight housing, without taking it apart or buying audistyle projectors off ebay.
I reckon it's cool, can't wait to see someone do it to an FD

[ej20i]

curtis maybe you should do that!
not me this time!
LOL!

[black8thgen]

ive seen that on an s2k, it looks ugly in the day time, just a black strip randomly under the headlight housing... if its not a black car it stands out too much! (if their led strips with black backing that is)

[curtis265]

aren't they under the headlight housing so u can't see t hem anyway?

[black8thgen]

u shud still be able to see em? =/ - dus that guy hav any pics in day?

[ej20i]

i reckon fd has a very bad healight shape for that
like IMHO the Audi headlight thingi...looks shit!

[ej20i]

JDM CONCEPT for Button
JAYCAR for wiring
Car audio shop for installation

[curtis265]

I was thniking it might look too wannabe audi too. Maybe i could put them on top to resemble eyebrows like one of those skodas.

[ekdez]

[fitme]

nice stig...are you gonna change the stock HU ?

stockie speakers are sh%^&t

[Stig]

[ekdez]

which ones are for the rear of the car???
i will be updating mine soon too =]

[Stig]

fronts: spx-17ref
rears: spr-17c

was going to do
fronts: spx-17pro
rears: spx-17ref
but that would have been overkill and im pov now lol

[Atjo]

Henry, I thought someone told me that you're selling your car? Btw, wait until Ivan's new part installed :p

[Stig]

i was thinking about it, ended up withdrawing since i couldn't stand parting it away :)

haha cant wait to see ivan's car then

[fitme]

Anyone tried this on the stock FD head unit??

Turn on the ignition key (stereo in off mode)
Press No.6, No4 and ON(Stereo ON/OFF switch) at the same time
DIAG will appear on the display
Press No4 again
(DSP will appear on the display)
Turn Off the stereo
Turn ON the stereo..


you can hear a big difference from the stock mode...more BASSS

[dny]

im not sure if it was posted in this forum or not, but i remember seeing an FD with FN2 wheels on it (was browsing during the late nights whilst studying)! anyone got the link to it or a picture that they can post up

I think I saw this on the SG Civic forums. Apparently you need to do this everytime you start up the car if you want the added bass?

Anyone else verified the quality?

[fitme]

Anyone else verified the quality?

far better from stock settings...:)

[curtis265]

I did it, doesn't make much difference (that i could notice).. didn't really take much note of a 'before'...

It didn't say DSP though, it said DSP-something else (lol i forgot)

When u press 4-6-ON, and then press other buttons it does something else...

5 was the filename/quality of the CD playing, 6 made it really loud and i couldn't control what was happening, 4 was the DSP thing

[JOhnnyFD]

is it me or is there something wrong with this clip? :confused:
nice spoon calipers by the way

[ej20i]

LOL!
its an auto FD1 and they mistyped the engine (K20A) 1999 cc

[fitme]

I did it, doesn't make much difference (that i could notice).. didn't really take much note of a 'before'...

did you turn it off then ON after seeing the DSP??

[howy]

nice red civic!

I think i've seen it a couple of times parked near capitol in the city.

first thing you can do is take off that fuel consumption sticker ;)

[ej20i]

Yup!!!how bout white rims?would stand out more

[fitme]

^^ and remove the plate frame..:)...just clean the sticky residue with a glass cleaner...its not hard...

[ekdez]

get a set of 18's in a diff colour. black wheels doesnt do anything for your car. get a bright colour like hyper silver, polished or get a bronze colour.

and then lower it enuf so that it doesnt look like a boat =]

[howy]

LOL yeah i didn't do so because I didn't want leave all this sticky residue its a hassle.

Nah it's easy!

I had the exact same thought as you before and left on for ages, but it was actually a no fuss task. Just gotta do it.

The glass cleaner that fitme suggested is probably the way to go.

[eleejay]

car loooks heaaaaps clean!

xcept yeah lose the fuel consumption sticker...used turpentine to get rid of mine was a bitch though

[howy]

Don't use turps... they kinda leave a smear afterwards.
Just use window/glass cleaner.

I used the meguairs one... But they're probably all the same :)

[Philip Lee]

K20 it? lol

a rear lip spoiler, bigger wheels and a litter lower and it'll be awesome.

[Stig]

just use a microfiber cloth and window cleaner, my p plates left residue all over my window which was a bitch to remove... i wanted to relocate mine but cbf cleaning it again LOL so i just leave it on the dash

lower it, once you damage the kit (like me) you cbf looking after it anymore and just go lower lol
bigger rims, 18*7.5 if you dont want scrubbing
remove license plate holder
cf front grill, i personally hate the chrome

na my girll is just painted black

[FDBenni]

I'd say 17-18 is the best fit size for the FD depending on your taste. Personally I hate the mugen grille, either keep it stock or get carbon fiber. I didn't know you can get done for no license plate holder that's pretty rat. BTW what exhaust setup are you running?

[fitme]

hmm is that illegal not having a license plate holder/frame?..i took off mine right away after getting it from the dealer...not my cup of tea seeing the name of the dealer printed on the plate holder...

lolwtf? of course its not illegal!.. well in qld anyway.

lol pariz. i cannot believe the cops told u to get one... they're secure enough with just 2 screws, dont see why a plate holder is needed

[Fung]

it bugs me everytime i look into this thread...bcoz the civics are just so damn beautiful compared to my stock civic LOL~~~

for a red car....get white/bronze/copper rims, best combo =]

[aero]

i dont mind the red car and black wheels combo. a friend had a red wrx with black wheels. looked hot!

[ej20i]

yup, thats a rex tho not a civic, maybe its the chrome lip that makes it look cheap?

[black8thgen]

yea i rkn the chrome lip makes it look cheap, if u get black get full black!

[curtis265]

polished lips are too overdone, and doesn't fit on civics properly :(

[aero]

polished lip can look good

[Waternmo]

anyone with kingsprings on der FD civic with fotos? goin to get sum and mate them with KONI yellows! any comments from existin users?? cheers

[ej20i]

i used to use kings with stock shocks, review, they are no the best for performance as they give away in corners and becomes really soft while not that soft on the road

here a photo of my car before

[Waternmo]

is the ducktail OEM style? im after a ducktail too!!! the height's not bad, i m hoping it'll perform better with koni yellow shocks.... coz thats the only decent set up within my budget...

[dannybubu]

How would ur set up be with the kings? JC project coilovers are under 1k. dunno about the quality though...anyone else know about these?

[ej20i]

i heard JC is very stif on the road, now im using Tanabes NF, its great soft on the road and performs awesome on touge

ducktail was custom but i broke it when i took it off to put my mugen wing on!
it was a dodgy quality tho, it warped through out the time

Any recommendations for aftermarket pedals? I wanna get OEM looking ones from strutking but they're US$94... a bit stupid for pedals, really.
http://www.strutking.com/product_images/f/sk06_hpdl_cmt03_1__55288.jpg

Here's the stupid shit i have now, and want to get rid of. They are wide though, good for heel-toe downshifting.

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1218/dsc0001mugenvisors.jpg

can we see how it looks like? ive got the replicas and it uses 3m double sided tape for mounting...is it the same as the genuine mugen??..thanks

[aero]

genuine mugen ones have clips on them as well. to help secure them. imo, the 3m tape is just as good, but if u like to have things genuine and can spend the extra money, then go for it

[NZFD2]

are there considerable difference between the original and replica on these visors other than the clips? replicas are around aud$100 in ebay and I got quoted aud$340 from yonas + $50 to ship to NZ for the original one :(

EDIT: dw..I read a review on the DIY section.

[ej20i]

hey guys how did u undo the bolt at the top in the boot to install the rear shock? i turn it and the rubber thing underneath turns with it...

[ekdez]

man it sounds like you should have got someone else to do your install...
no offense...

[dannybubu]

man it sounds like you should have got someone else to do your install...

well...it's the satisfaction at the end when you finish it...

[ekdez]

yeah..

maybe look through here..

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension/

[hondar]

well...it's the satisfaction at the end when you finish it...

no offence but if you are sure what you are doing maybe you shouldnt do it

i understand when you DIY there is an element of satisfaction.

but you are talking about your sussy. the sussy hold your entire car.

there is a risk it all goes wrong when you drive.

assumedly you drive as a result of not installing it correctly and get into an accident. your insurance may not pay you if they know you do it as it is not done by license mechanic

if a mechanic do it, they have public liability insurance. i think they are covered

worse still if you injured someone you may be sued too

there is two areas that imho if you are not sure what you are doing to stay away from

brake system
suspension

i am sure there is other area that you can get satisfaction doing DIY

just my 2 cents. i am worried your satisfaction will become a regret. nothing worse that wishing you hasnt done it.

[ej20i]

just use an allen key at the top and wrench at the bottom
another thing leo, how come my tanabe makes Springy noises up front when i turn?

[hondar]

i think it is spring movement. i have some noise in my coilover too in the past. i used to have tein and cusco.. but it is the sound of valves compressing etc... sounds like spring but its not spring.

but make sure you installed everything correctly and sometimes just require greasing... i might also not be spring but something else

but its every turn i take and even at standing position

[hondar]

but its every turn i take and even at standing position

if the car is not moving how would the spring move? so maybe its not the spring but something is touching the suspension and causing rubbing sound from the vibration of the car?

did you install the sussy yourself or do you ask a mechanic to do it?

[JOhnnyFD]

definitely get it checked out by a mechanic tim

i had my tanabes done by a qualified mechanic.. and i had a clickin noise when i turned the wheel for the first week after install.. after that, rides quiet and smooth ever since

[ej20i]

i got my mechanic to check it and he pullled it out and re-install twice and find nothing,he did mention that the spring was moving, i'm going to see on tuesday if it does that when the wheel is off,
John, can u ask ur mechanic if he knows anything about this?
leo,
can u ask dedy?
thanks

[aero]

hey tim, may i ask if the noise comes from the side where the shaft came out?
i get the same spring type noises when i turn as well. but only on the left side... it also happens to be the side where the drive shaft thingo came out.. im not sure if its related or not. one of my friends told me that it is just noises from the spring moving.. he has the same noise on his s15.

im having the car checked next week. hopefully i'll find the source of the problem and possibly fix it.

did you install yourself the first time?

[ej20i]

did you install yourself the first time?

with a help of a mechanic i did and bring it to his workshop the week after,
aero,
ummm no, coz its both side of the car and i only pop the cv shaft on the right
please update me aero

[ekdez]

ej20i, i think what leo is getting at, is was it installed at your house the first time by yourself, with the help of a mechanic here and there..

and when i installed my n+ for the first time i noticed a pssshhh noise over the bumps but mine was the shock releasing air or something..

[hondar]

with a help of a mechanic i did and bring it to his workshop the week after,
aero,
ummm no, coz its both side of the car and i only pop the cv shaft on the right
please update me aero

when you say with the help of the mechanic. did he has any involvement in installing or all installation was done by yourself? and in what capacity is he involved in...

so if something happen to your car, who will be liable? you or the mechanic?

[ej20i]

the mechanic, all i did was take the top cowl of and hold the coils when he takes it out and help him jack up the car and take the wheel off

[hondar]

the mechanic, all i did was take the top cowl of and hold the coils when he takes it out and help him jack up the car and take the wheel off

so is it done at his workshop or your place? and i presume it is a paid job too yeah?

[ej20i]

it was first at home coz we had to do it after work and workshop was closed,
well technically yes i paid but not really since he does all my work for free from servicing my car, to getting new tyres (just pay for stock and not labour in balancing and stuff). coz i do his car and work mates car for free (audio)

so he own the workshop or not? or he is just one of the guys that work there

strictly speaking you dont pay him.. he is doing it as favor for you. no money change hand.

[ej20i]

no money and he is the owner of the garage

[hondar]

no money and he is the owner of the garage


to be honest i dont know why he want to do that (installing at home) and later fix it at his workshop (makes no sense to me as it is always easier to install sussy in a hoist and especially if he doesnt get paid, i am sure working in a hoist is faster than working using a jack! which saves more time... plus if he owns a workshop... he can open till whatever time he wants basically.. dedy at top one open late to do favor for his friends but always done all work at his workshops)

if i were your mechanic i will
- do it in my workshop where i have all the tools and proper lighting (especially is dark at night even though you use lighting but it is still dark)
- i cover myself as a mechanic as if something happen when i fix someone else car by public liability insurance cover. i dont know any mechanic is covered by doing other than premise that he supposed doing the job
- involving someone that is not a mechanic like yourself. and if something happen, he will probably just put the blame on you.

your problem could be
- maybe the tension spring might be the problem if you hear a "ding" sound
- maybe not enough grease on the bearing if you hear the clicking sound.

maybe you should ask dedy at top one to have a look at it. but that is what roughly what he said. dont quote me on that, i am just roughly summing up what could be the problem. best to speak to him being the real mechanic as i am not a mechanic either..

[ekdez]

i want a garage =,=

[ej20i]

yea im going to lube the spring and see how that goes, the car stayed at the hoist all day yesterday
and lucky me, dad gave his keys to me

does anyone know if the JDM FD2 muffler design is the same like JDM DC5?

as in, it has valving design?

http://www.itr-dc5.com/images/exhaust.jpg

Variable path Exhaust pipes

The Type-R equips a new exhaust muffler that is constructed of variable pipes. The design can change silence priority by leading exhaust gas flow to variable paths with a silencer. At a low rpm region, silence priority becomes first. Sound is reduced and air current is reduced at the same time. As engine speed reaches near the 5,000 rpm, higher exhaust gas output becomes the priority that desires less back pressure. This design bumps up an extra 4 hp and 0.8 kg-m, than the predecessor model. Comparing at 8,000 rpm, about 1/3 of backpressure remains, therefore a large improvement
in the power output was achieved at the dual e-type exhaust pipe. Moreover, sport nature was emphasized by the adoption of a larger diameter finish.

[Waternmo]

[Stig]

sif buy replica, buy mine LOL, just all been all talk no action, first one to put a deposit on it wins

[fitme]

anyone has a spare rear mudflaps??

[blasdf]

Anyone tried this on the stock FD head unit??

Turn on the ignition key (stereo in off mode)
Press No.6, No4 and ON(Stereo ON/OFF switch) at the same time
DIAG will appear on the display
Press No4 again
(DSP will appear on the display)
Turn Off the stereo
Turn ON the stereo..


you can hear a big difference from the stock mode...more BASSS

hey wondering, do you guys by default before this change have the bass and treble turned to 6 anyway? i currently have them both up and the speakers seem to be pretty good, no distorting and quite crisp and bassy. I also thought there was a DSP mode when you flick through the standard settigns, but maybe something else.

gonna try this tonight and see if i notice a difference. might turn everything to 0 at first

[Waternmo]

hey stig, how much u sellin CR kai for? wat colour and wat size?

also im lookin at replacing interior map and dome lights to white LED, which model should i be lookin at? cheers guys

[threesix]

the stadard system is pretty crap but i wasnt expecting muchanyway.

i might try this street fighter cheat sheet civic stereo thing you speak of fitme. hmm..

You can create a spacer from mdf for the mount. I always use that. Ask adhika (ABANG) how to create them. I actually still have my spacer from my alpine speakers, maybe it can fit in FD1.

yeah i have the alpine spacers as well, you have to drill some holes into the car to get them to fit, i was thinking of doing the mdf thing as well but massive cbf cutting it out lol

did it make much difference. im going out soon, but will try it tomorrow. did u have everything set to 0?

[Fung]

ehhh....i wish i had the money to buy cr kai...

any1 knows anywhere sells cheap replicas???

[aero]

lenso/tenzo dc-5 v1 look like pretty decent replicas... but im not sure if shops sell version 1 anymore. i keep seeing the v2. difference is that v2 has polished lip and polished centre. doesnt look as good imo. but im pretty sure there are others.... rota do good replicas. you can as H3 motorsport in the trader section to see if they can get you a set.

if you dont have the cash for genuine and ur not gonna be driving hard, then replicas should be fine. u wont get as much cred, but as long as u get a good set that you like, then it doesnt really matter imo.

anyone replaced rotors on their car? if so what brand etc?

here you go fellas... been meaning to post this up.. the BEAKS rear tie-bar

the blue metal on the left & right-hand side is the cusco RSB

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/JOhnnyFD1/R0010949.jpg

just install it this arvo.. took around 20 minutes to do.. definitely need a power drill and 2 jacks for this install

[liquid23]

what is a tie-bar for? same as RSB, FSB?

[JOhnnyFD]

rear tie-bar is kinda like a strut brace.. except its on the underside, improve chassis stiffness

RSB improves handling performance

but overall, i just wanna get some bling.. hehe

[aero]

is it visible from behind past ur type r diffuser? looks like u may hav to look underneath the actual car to see it.

[JOhnnyFD]

u can see it, if someone is driving behind me from a distance, but not up close

and yeh, definitely gotta looks down to see it.. also mention the car is lowered, but not too low where risk rippin the beaks off

[Brescia]

im lowered with a mugen kit, and its the same deal, from afar u can see the beaks bar, but the closer they come the less visible it is

[ekdez]

has the cusco rear strut bar caused any problems with your undercarriage yet? really need to purchase a rsb soon.

remember how when you was considering buying it a while ago.. there was some talk about sub frames cracking etc.. because it was too stiff or something??

[FDBenni]

thats what I want to know aswell.. or maybe go for the ultraracing rsb which is 19mm compared to cuscos 22mm..

[fitme]

nah, cusco's good.. no problems.. the cusco RSB came with reinforcements so it doesn't rip the endlinks


thats what I want to know aswell.. or maybe go for the ultraracing rsb which is 19mm compared to cuscos 22mm..

i dont know if the UR RSB comes with reinforcements but the OEM RSB (11mm) comes with reinforcements

to be honest, i really dont know yet coz ive got on tanabe coilovers and cusco RSB and i definitely feel improvements in ride and handling performance so its hard to tell if the rear tie-bar does much.. lol

havent pushed the car on the streets, will do so at the track with all my current mods

[aero]

with a help of a mechanic i did and bring it to his workshop the week after,
aero,
ummm no, coz its both side of the car and i only pop the cv shaft on the right
please update me aero

um yeah. quick update on that spring noise issue with the coilovers. got my car taken into the shop this morning. the guys reinstalled the front struts and made sure everything was tight. also made sure they were sufficiently lubricated.
seems to have done the job thus far. no more spring noises or creaks :thumbsup:

did u get urs resolved, tim?

yes i did with WD40!
