[Stig]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2527225&postcount=758

lol i dont have tyres mounted on mine yet, just rims only, im kinda anal so im gonna get the gutter rashes out of the rims, they arent noticeable, just that im anal haha

[JOhnnyFD]

i reckon once F7 make a LCA for fd's and asr makes one as awell.. then you should grab them johnyy then your undercarrage will look boss.

haha, will keep an eye open

[ganj3]

so the dealer added on spoiler and wheels before putting it back no sale hey .. what wheels did the guy give to the dealer?

I had the 15" stockies

Aero I've got FN2 now

[black8thgen]

traitor =[

[insanelin]

hey guys,

I have been speed reading thrg from page 1 to 480 and still could not find out whether if we could change the stock pedals...

problem is i realise the accelerator is hinged on to the floor board on its bottom unlike the clutch and break pedal which is hinged on top.

I m not used to the accelerator hinged this way and hence i always over rev my car...i m pretty sure the pedals can be changed rite?

cheers!

[liquid23]

wow u read 480 pages... that must have taken sometime :p

i replaced my brake pedal but not sure about the acc pedal. the acc pedal of the FD2R or Mugen pedals that u can buy is only to go over the OEM, it is screwed on. the brake and clutch pedals u can just remove the rubber and replace them. the foot rest is just screwed on to the OEM as well

.....unless i'm doing it all wrong lol

[ej20i]

i think what he means is that he wants to change the whole unit to the drop from the top kind of thing
i dont think u can do that
our acc pedals are like euros anyway
hahahahahahha
gota get used to it matey

[aero]

if you have money money, there should always be a way to change things lol

hahaha..that is correct mate...i m totally not used to it man...my previous ride was manual as well but the acc pedal was hinged on the top so i had no issues at all...

i cant changed it to another type coz i saw some pretty sweet momo pedals on ebay....

thanx for the input guys

[amurray]

hey guys how is everyone long time no post etc etc lol

[Stig]

[ganj3]

niice! as in the type r or the si?

Type R of course!

[chunky]

anyone know how much a mugen lip kit would set me back?
do any traders have them on here
already had a look cant find anything
and how much for install?

[ganj3]

I bought mine from On the Run Motorsports in Melbourne for $700 incl. shipping but they said it was the last set. Maybe give them a call and see if they have anymore

[warwick108]

stig... are u talking about the dude on firesport? that is selling the r18 engine?.. =S.. i was wondering who that was aswell

[Stig]

im not sure if he is the same guy, or there is ANOTHER k20 fd1 (likely hood is, it is the same guy).

its apparently getting done at mod project for those melb viewers at home :)

[JOhnnyFD]

hehe if anyon1 knows him.. tell em to join us

luv to c how this project goes

[.k.]

who's that guy who wanted to k20 his fd1 on the gold coast? so fail i saw a white fd w/ type r looking front bar as i was parking so i parked near it for a look.. it was an auto fd1 w/ a type r WING! just 09 front bar didnt look type r, no skirts, no rear bar, and had fd1 steelie hubcaps :( numberplate was 'OFD20' :(

[JOhnnyFD]

go typeR wing!!!

[fdcivic09r]

did something fall into the car? lol at the sounds but LOL

Yeah, The guy actually dribbles when he says "VTEC NOISE BABY"

HAHAH i couldn't stop laughing

lol. i saw a white prefacelift fd1 at sunnybank with just a type r wing and black painted vti-l wheels. it was awkward looking to say the least, but i'd like to see some more brisbane fd drivers up in here. there are certainly plenty of 'modified' fds on the streets. especially in the southside/sunnybank region.

[black8thgen]

hey johnny how did u get the beaks bar on? did it urself yeah?

[JOhnnyFD]

hey johnny how did u get the beaks bar on? did it urself yeah?

had help from my uncle.. needed to borrow the bolt gun

this is just a guide:
u'll also need 2 car jacks.. the main car jack to lift up the back, and the other jack to hold the lower control arm bar in place when u take out the bolt.. once u take out the bolt and install the beaks bar to one side, move the car jack to the other LCA to install the other side of the beaks bar.

its take around 15minutes to install... if you dont really know how to do it, better safe than sorry, go to a mechanic

[black8thgen]

damn.. too difficult - i will consult timmie abt this hehe

[JOhnnyFD]

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension/110316-diy-06-fg2-p2r-rear-lower-tie-bar.html

this link should help, its not the BEAKS but on the P2R tie-bar.. same install story

[ej20i]

yea ryan, we'll do it together once we both have it
LOL!
shoudnt be tooo hard

[black8thgen]

nice! when u getting it tim?! im paying for mine tomorrow hehehe. needa do those damn leds too =[
btw - thanks johnny!

[.k.]

yeah ive seen that one too at ms aero, this one was just white with hubcaps and OFD20 plates ><!!

[black8thgen]

timmie when u getting ur beaks bar man? mine comes in tomorrow =]

[xenfacta]

[Stig]

for all those who are in melb, eastern honda is having a special offer on fog lights, something like $495 fitted on 06-08 models.

[ej20i]

timmie when u getting ur beaks bar man? mine comes in tomorrow =]

im getting it next year
thought u were getting ur coils first?

[dannybubu]

for all those who are in melb, eastern honda is having a special offer on fog lights, something like $495 fitted on 06-08 models.

still pretty expensive compared to aftermarket ones...i suppose you can say it's OEM

[Stig]

yeah, but you get a replacement stalk with the oem one and its less of a pain in the arse if you choose to install it yourself :)

[black8thgen]

im getting it next year
thought u were getting ur coils first?

ohhh shit ages.. uhm nah getting coils/rims when i get my hsc results lol - if they're good enough dad will buy me em =D. but yea just got a job so spent some money on the beaks bar - test how it goes first before coilss

[ej20i]

oooo, lucky boy, getting it january

[xenfacta]

car got hit on saturday in the carpark :-(

on the bright side, now that its in the shop, very seriously considering a set of eibach pro kits. what are ppls experiences with these?

[williamwong]

someone here did a k20a swap?

http://firesport.com.au/honda-r18a1-ivtec-motor-turbo-boost--ad143494.htm

[FallenAngel]

=O kmikzefd i wonder if he's on the forums

[ekdez]

[howy]

wonder which K20A it is...

[JOhnnyFD]

what a cheap motor LOL.

is he seriouz? i would get tat just for extra spare parts and have a look see in the engine

[mikey11]

hey guys think this is the guy who did the K20 conversion for his FD.
http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67059

[ej20i]

hey guys, how big is the diameter of our exhaust?
comparing to see if buying the J's racing full exhaust worth it or just buyng the muffler be better. if the size of the piping is the same, might as well just the muffler save my money for my headers and b pipe by weapon R

[ekdez]

my j's titanium is 60 MM pipe from cat back.
OEM is like 30MM.. its pez, if you take yours off and look at it you will be liek wtf.
BIG difference in accelerator response, and sexy noise from mine..
if you get stainless it will be different, prob will drone like other normal ones, rather then be raspy.

p.s. where you gonna get your weapon-r headers from? you gonna run no cat? $20g fine..

[Stig]

over the rev range above 3, i cannot hear my js racing muffler over my injen cai, might get some custom piping if i cbf lol

[JOhnnyFD]

i'll be lookin forward to the J's Racing :cool:

[ekdez]

over the rev range above 3, i cannot hear my js racing muffler over my injen cai, might get some custom piping if i cbf lol

or just get the original j's ones hehe =]

either way its worth it getting a cat back.. no point in getting a axle back =o

[Waternmo]

so the intake sound is louder than the j;s racing catback when below 3k rpm? im really interested in the j's C304 exhaust!!!

[JOhnnyFD]

injen CAI wont make that intake sound until u reach 3k rpm and above

[J-Spec23]

I cant wait till i save enough for the Injen CAI.. you guys make it sound so interesting :P (loud) haha..

[JOhnnyFD]

[ekdez]

uve got the titanium dez?.. so it sounds the same as the stainless steel one?

mines more higher pitched when rev'd. but none the less.. no one who looked at mine would realize its titanium compared to a stainless one, on face value.

its just i got the wank factor of being able to say its titanium haha

[fitme]

goin to fit the seatcover tomorow morning...will post pic after...

[ej20i]

hmm nice nice

nah, i was just travelling interstate so im covering up my baby and lil did i know my colleaque place stickers on em
LOL!

[fitme]

[ej20i]

UTS?

[Atjo]

Going to melb?

[Stig]

does anyone have an aftermarket alarm with their car? do we even need one?

like i know the alarm goes off when we open the door from the inside while its locked (tried it once, scared the shit outta me)

[black8thgen]

tim has an aftermarket alarm on his fd. and yeh that happened to me as well - damn scary lolol

[ej20i]

yea i got one
but mine is fd1 remember

[Stig]

did you just get a standard security alarm (something with a more gangsta immobilizer and goes off when the car moves or glass breaks?)

[ej20i]

i got the "more gangsta" LOL!
immobiliser, shock sensor, tilt sensor, ultrasonic sensor, auto window winder, connected to the parker, send sms to phone and things like that

[Stig]

very interesting, something just hit me just then, if i were to get something like that (tilt sensor, shock sensor etc) it would just totally defeat the purpose of me having remote control air bags cos the alarm would just go off everytime... i failed -_-

[ej20i]

as long as you dont arm ur alarm
u should be fine
i mean, why would u pop ur bags when u locked ur doors?

[Stig]

i got the wireless remote kit so i can do it from the outside =D just wank factor lol

[Atjo]

How about i take the remote from you so you don't have to worry about it :p

[Stig]

i think you should get a kit so you can use the remote IF you were to take it off me :p

dw about the wife, just slowly buy and install without her knowing haha

sneaky sneaky

[amuson]

hey EKDEZ, would really like to know wat mods were made to fit the fd2r exhaust on our fd2s and wat size diam would be the most beneficial cus i noticed there is 60mm and 70mm availiable? thanks

Not sure if you can get oem parts in here.. but you can try contact honda australia and tell them the part number and they will tell youthe price.

[curtis265]

I wouldn't be surprised if that little bit is $30

[fitme]

[fitme]

[FallenAngel]

lol no... its literally un-doing two bolts..

[black8thgen]

HAHAHAH TIM! dw when i read it i was thinking of the MAF sensor or some shiet lolol

[curtis265]

hasn't anyone heard of the term mtf before? My dad uses it :S

try this if it means anythnig to you - i'm clueless about servicing cars.
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/transmission/22170-diy-changing-manual-transmission-fluid.html

[ej20i]

well obviously gab has
LOL!
so we basically drain the stock ones and replace with another one?(better ones perhaps?)
need to find a drugo now to borrow his/her giant syringe
LOL!

[FallenAngel]

its basically the same as changing ur engine oil. Just slightly different

You undo one bolt to let the fluid drain, then the other so it releases pressure.
Do the bottom bolt back up and start filling...

You already received it? They even haven't sent me the tracking no lol i wanna see the remote module.

[Stig]

i only got the air tank and the wiring atm, i havent recieved the stussy yet, guy said today arvo or tmr cos it came in 2 boxes.

i had a look at the remote module and the solenoid and it seems annoying to wire up if i want to leave the controls upfront under the head unit like ivan did cos i gotta run an air tube upfront as well for the pressure gauge. im thinking of leaving everything in the boot cos i have the remote to control it anyway.

[Stig]

You already received it? They even haven't sent me the tracking no lol i wanna see the remote module.

the controls are electronic and not air switches lol

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/4936/dsc0010l.jpg

[ekdez]

so what does that mean? lol
u got the lux ones yea?
im keen for this next year =]

[Stig]

yea i got the lux kit

just means that the flow of air to the stussy is controlled electronically via solenoids rather than air switches

[ej20i]

u guys are too baller for me
far out!
lol

[liquid23]

nice. i thought there were more FDs over there in perth tho. i guess some couldnt make it, yeah?

know someone who has air suspension on his honda.... after sometime he changed back to coilover.... he said its too soft and sort of all over the place when the car is on the road and now he puts back his coilover for firmer and better handling......

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

im still enjoying your rims! gggggrrrrrrrrrrr

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
It's all depend on what you're looking for. With AirForce you have 36 way damper adjustment like the normal coilover unlike AirRunner which has only 4.

received simota intake kit from touge tune!! will install it tmr together with the beaks bar! fotos will be up!!!

some nice seats (thx stig)
http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/JOhnnyFD1/R0010964.jpg

some nice brake lines
http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/JOhnnyFD1/R0010957.jpg

:)

[ekdez]

were the seats worth it? plug and play?? no problems with seatbelts?

i was gonna get some of those, but i decided against it cos the colour scheme as didn't match my car... maybe i should have bought some then retrim lol

[JOhnnyFD]

yeh.. no real dramas, seat rails fit good, seat belt indicators work fine.. not legal for FD2's coz of their side airbags

car's black with red H badges.. so seats look good all round.. was thinkin of gettin brides but they were definitely too $$$ with possible mods to seat rails

[JaCe]

good pick with the seats. they look nice :) haveto admit that's one area the stock civic doesn't suit sporty drivers much (or slimmer bodied drivers)!

[Waternmo]

NICE BUY! great seats! how about the brake lines? installed yet? i hav to say the stock brakes on FD civic are just... poor -_-"

[ido09s]

i hav to say the stock brakes on FD civic are just... poor -_-"

You sure there is nothing wrong with yours? Mine are by far the best brakes i have ever had for a standard setup. I have nothing but 150% confidence in my FD1's ability to stop!

[JOhnnyFD]

good pick with the seats. they look nice :) haveto admit that's one area the stock civic doesn't suit sporty drivers much (or slimmer bodied drivers)!

they definitely are a snuggly fit


NICE BUY! great seats! how about the brake lines? installed yet? i hav to say the stock brakes on FD civic are just... poor -_-"

havent yet installed em.. need to go buy oem honda brake fluid, gonna get a pro to install em for me

yeh, after trackin.. the brakes feel mushy, so upgrade the brake lines for now

[FallenAngel]

its quite good for a daily driver but anything other than that its crap lol...

[threesix]

rear drums!!! holla!!!! lol

[curtis265]

Just got RE001's

[ekdez]

on the stockies? y? lol

[ido09s]

its quite good for a daily driver but anything other than that its crap lol...

What did you guys expect? Braided lines isnt going to fix a soft brake pedal after 10 laps of Oran Park, the brakes are stinking hot and ready to fade by that time.... you need a brake upgrade!

[curtis265]

on the stockies? y? lol

my dad's car's up for sale so i thought i'd pinch his new tyres before we lose them.

[ekdez]

same profile? and width lol?

[curtis265]

ye of course!

205/55/R16. They seem to bulge a lot more on VTi-L stockes though - weird.

the original ER30's seemed to look more low profile.

[FDBenni]

thats weird.. maybe because the re001 has a stiff sidewall so it appears that way .. but since theyre the same brand should be quite similiar in sizing ..

[fitme]

i want to replace my steely spare rims with ep3 rims 17"....anyone wants to group buy?..saw like $600 for a set..but i only need one..

[black8thgen]

wtff 600 for a set? WHERE?!

[Stig]

im the one thats selling it...

holy crap! talk about mass stickers

[Stig]

some low life wanker stole all my valve caps off the cr kai

[curtis265]

Probably a kid who wanted valve stems for his bicycle. Happens. Tyre shop put metal valve stems on for me :)

oh btw, my RE001's are super thick profile... and well, the kinda sag at the bottom at 38PSI. Is that meant to happen..?!!?

[fitme]

38psi? isnt that too hard?

curtis can you post pic?...saw a fd2 with ep3rims wrap with re001 215/45/17..and yeah its kinda thick compared to my michelin pilot...i like the re070 but its pricy

[FDBenni]

farr u had work valve caps? jealous sh*ts

tyres with 55 aspect ratio you would expect to sag a little, but i thought re001 had stiff sidewalls? surely would sag less than the er30 ..

[Stig]

yeah they were all work valve caps, gonna cost me 80$ to replace them now

[Atjo]

I thought you sold the cr kai?

[Stig]

yeah i did!

my friend is borrowing my t1s atm to see how they look on his car and i have his cr kai

gonna grab them back once the bags are in :)

[curtis265]

I'll get a pic when i get home and all that. Gotta compare to ER30's too, but i don't think i have a pic of that - i'll just take a snap of it on mazda6 wheels.

wtf branded valve stems!! too baller for me! lol

I thought Re001's had stiffer sidewalls too.. but it sorta bulges out whilst keeping the actual tyre width contacting the ground the same, if that makes any sense.

[black8thgen]

im the one thats selling it...


oh right ep3.. thought he said ep3r =.=

[FDBenni]

lol I think everyones getting confused.. i think stig is selling FD2 rims which are exactly the same as the EP3r rims except the EP3r are in white. unless hes selling EP3r wheels aswell .. baller

[black8thgen]

nah cos ep3 (without the r) are the same as fd wheels, but the ep3r are in white - which seem to be wanted by a few ppl lol.

oh btw saw a white 09 fd with ep3r rims, looks pretttyy nice

[howy]

some low life wanker stole all my valve caps off the cr kai

wow... definitely low life scum.

RR is way too rare to import it down here

didnt i recall someone is doing a RR conversion??

[ej20i]

i saw an ad at firesport for an rr rear lip which i was thinking of getting since my mugen is all efffed!'LOL!

[JaCe]

but if u leave it effed it looks rallystyle/driftstyle!

[curtis265]

a D-Spec Honda Civic?

[curtis265]

Ultra unhappy with my efforts at installing these, as you can see they're not quite straight. The drill kept slipping to the right causing the pedals to be slightly wonky. Hopefully it's not to noticeable.

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/271220091149.jpg

edit: looking at them more, i'm starting to get ultrapissedoff with myself now >=( Once i started drilling the hole, you can't exactly move the drill again, cos you'll slip back in. My only option is to file it such that the hole gets a bit bigger...

[aero]

looks fine, man. good work :thumbsup:

[JOhnnyFD]

looks aiight... needs a matching footrest

[curtis265]

The brake and clutch are rotated clockwise. I'm going to file out the holes to move them around a bit.. either that or redrill them to allow a bit of movement.

strutking doesn't make a footrest, i have a LHD one here with me... might sell it bak to someone in the US. A RHD plate is in development

[dny]

ummm, does anyone else have a problem with the gearbox? all of a sudden my 1st &2nd gear dont get into gear... wtf!

[fitme]

Once i started drilling the hole, you can't exactly move the drill again, cos you'll slip back in

before drilling you should pinch it with a nail first, so that when you drill it, it wont slide..
anyway nice pedal..might get one soon..

[ej20i]

looks nice curtis, good job not that noticeable!

[curtis265]

Yeh i should have used a centre ounch or drilled out a pilot hole T.T...

It's not that off, but it still annoys me. I'm getting too anal.

im so want the hybrid seats..

have you thought about drilling the hole abit bigger.. then putting rings to straighten it up?.. =S

[curtis265]

Rings? lolwut rings?

I just drilled the holes a big bigger - still not straight enough. On the brake pedal i've got very badly... the bottom hole isn't even in the middle of the pedal T.T

Tried redrilling near it but then it kept slipping into the hole... I'll persist later though, it'll get there eventually.

moral of the story: don't rush the job! - mark the spot, punch it/drill a pilot hole, and then drill the big hole...

not try to 'guess' like i did...

[ej20i]

u using wrong drill bits curtis, drill a smal hole first den use o-rings

[curtis265]

I don't quite follow. ru talking about washers?

[ej20i]

thats the word
LOL!

and no, no rr bk yet.

no mate, i'm done with exterior.seems like i loss my 'sense' now after 1 year off from playing with car, haha
prob next time when i get drunk :p

not the RR car, just the BK (bodykit), anyway if we willing to pay the price, we can get them easily ;)

u should buy the one WITHOUT drilling the holes. much more easier and same strength.

huh? they are different to normal fd seats??

It's meant to be type-R, yo

[FallenAngel]

ummm, does anyone else have a problem with the gearbox? all of a sudden my 1st &2nd gear dont get into gear... wtf!

What do you mean dont get into gear?
Can you drive the car? Or is it just crunching into gear?
Have you tried double clutching to get it in?

[fitme]

huh? they are different to normal fd seats??
yea beige
correct me if im wrong but i think its different from the vti/vtil seats, aside from the color and headrest(with hole just like sports),

i think the shoulder and side area of the hybrid is more bulky than the vti/vtil

yeh all of a sudden it just ****ed up after coming home from the shops. so i had to do 3rd gear starts at the traffic lights and by the time it went from green to red at the lights i was the only one out! ahhahah

but i couldn't move the gear stick to the left at all...woudln't budge no matter how hard i tried. called up honda roadside assist to come and they sent (RAC)... he came and "apparently" had no idea (took 2mins)

but then i drove it after he left with 3rd gear start and rev'd it to 4k then tried to change to 2nd and it worked.... fkn weird...

[J-Spec23]

i crunched 3rd gear :(

[threesix]

hybrid>vti-L

haha.

hybrid ftw. the seats are COMFFYYY!!! :cool:

which other model has indicators on the side mirrors?? ive been looking at other fd's and i havent seen any with them??

the longer i have the car im finding out a heap of little different things between the hybrid fd and other fd's. im stoked!! :thumbsup:

just drove from canberra to the coast and averaged 4.9/100. (big wheels,aircon) :D

[threesix]

oh and had no probs with power/overtaking. but on a big hill i had to turn the air con off once for a little more power lol!

[aero]

have you had any symptoms before this happened? like crunching gears a day or to before? Have you changed the MTF fluid (tranny fluid) or done a service recently?

Or even possibly bottomed out ur car?

[kawai]

lol im not sure how old this site is but boys if you want your FD to a FD2R (body only, not sure y not the engine wasnt as well. y dont you just imported it to Thailand and get your body moded to FD2R :D.

shipping might be a bit expensive but labor is probably as cheap salt :D (average thai earns like $30aus a week any way)

^^ lol yeah. thats been posted before. but sending ur car there would cost heaps. genuine parts would also cost heaps. that is a full conversion. inside and out (minus the engine, i think).

if u want ur car to "look like" a type r, then u may as well just buy a replica kit. couple of members (eg. hendra and johnnyfd) have gotten replica fd2r kits already and they look quite well.. without the cost of sending their car overseas.

[FallenAngel]

haha thats old as!

nah no problems at all. i've only had the car for 3 weeks soo :S
i have to book the first service soon and ill tell them about it, but i doubt they'll do anything...
