[black8thgen]

hmm asap hopefully.. whenever i can convince my dad lol!

[ekdez]

ive seen white rims on a black car.. doesnt tickle my fancy..
white makes the rim look plastic.. all up to taste tho.
and white CR kais are that appealing compared to bronze ones, in the specs your going for.

p.s. buy some wheels already. u been talking about it for ages.

[black8thgen]

yeh i know lol =.=.. fuken need MONEY! grr.. i'll prob be getting black cr kais, then when im bored of black paint em white

[curtis265]

Hellaflush is hellaimpractical

[Modaway]

Hi guys,

I purchased a set of daytime LED lights for my front bumper and would like to know where is the best place to hook up the wires (red & black). Thanks

[curtis265]

splice your parkers.

[Modaway]

Sorry which are the parkers? Also wanna know if the LEDs will drain away battery power while unused?

[curtis265]

IF they're on while ur car's off, then you'll drain ur batt.

ur parkers are t he lights that go on before u turn ur low beams on - those little bulbs that share the same reflector as ur highbeams (the inner one)

all you have to do is kinda splice those wires and join it on - if u aren't confident, don't do it..

[curtis265]

wuts everyone think of these?

[Modaway]

Thanks.

I'll give it a go.. will upload a pic once i get it done!

[black8thgen]

curtis, dont bother with that, just get led strips off ebay for like 11 a pair and do it ghetto style =P (but still clean.. unlike my current setup LOL)

[curtis265]

I'm liking the whole programmable flashing/scanning thing...

i was going to get LED strips before.

[black8thgen]

ah true, but so much more expensive! i guess if u got the money why not aye

[curtis265]

wait how much r led stirps? $5 each?
so that'd make $20-25 for some 'oh so boring' lights that just go on and off...

i'm biiiig spendaaaaa now aren't i :P

[black8thgen]

they arent oh so boring, they are pretty =]. and cheap =D.

[curtis265]

i'll just have to have ballllller interior lights.... lol

[black8thgen]

lollol. as if ull use all the modes and stuff though, ull get over it in a short time and be like ah waste of money and just leave em on all the time =D

[curtis265]

It's a tough life being baller :)

it can do...
MODE: There are 15 modes for this kit:
1. Slow LED bulb fade
2. LED solid illumination
3. LED intermediate fade
4. LED fast fade
5. Ascending LED slow fade
6. Ascending LED intermediate fade
7. Ascending LED fast fade
8. Rapid LED scan
9. 6 LED solid illumination position 1
10. 6 LED solid illumination position 2
11. 6 LED solid illumination position 3
12. 12 LED solid illumination position 1
13. 12 LED solid illumination position 2
14. 12 LED solid illumination position 3
15. 18 LED solid illumination


or if i buy multicoloured one (cost mroe i think..)
MODE: There are 15 modes for this kit:
1. Slow LED color fade
2. LED color pause
3. LED intermediate color fade
4. LED fast color fade
5. Ascending LED slow color fade
6. Ascending LED intermediate color fade
7. Ascending LED fast color fade
8. Rapid LED color scan
9. Red LED solid illumination
10. Green LED solid illumination
11. Blue LED solid illumination
12. Yellow LED solid illumination
13. Purple LED solid illumination
14. Aqua LED solid illumination
15. White LED solid illumination


If i can justify spending DOUBLE the cost (although that may be only $30 more) then i may get the kit...

[black8thgen]

LOL WTFFFFFFF. thats CRAZY.. so confusing tho.. i wouldnt be able to handle 15 modes hahaha

[JOhnnyFD]

dude.. theirs no point in lighting ur car like a christmas tree.. xmas has past

[ej20i]

Lol. What the crap Curtis. Do other things first man. Lower ur car!!!lol. Thanks for the chop btw.

[black8thgen]

curtiss! can u do a photoshop for me please?

in one pic, can u make the car black and leave the rims white? annd in another make both rims and car black?

pretty pleaaaase? =D

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss190/willcheam/Will15.jpg

[dny]

does anyone have any idea for the two-piece modulo front under spoiler for the facelifted bumper? cheers

[curtis265]

Oooh any chance you can find a picture already black? or a side on shot of a car with those rims on it for me to put onto a black FD?

Changing paint colour to black is quite difficult - i can't cut out perfectly without spending ages (so u see random whtie bits on the edges - looks too fake to believe) and somehow the paint looks a bit matted.

sif diss lights guys :P lights > all other mods. My fetish.

[black8thgen]

ahh, nah dw then =P. cant find any easier pics =[. cheers anyways!

[curtis265]

Can u gimmie a sideview of ur car? I'll try to copy and paste the wheels onto your car.

sry, these are absolutely terrible..

Here's what i thnik, and have always thought.
White's get extremely dirty extremely fast.
Black looks like it's already dirty, unless u make it glossy (then that's another story... i rarely like black wheels)
Colour is nice, as long as it's not something weird like red, blue, yellow, grn etc. (bronze gold and silver are good)
Chrome/polished aluminium looks good sometimes.

[black8thgen]

haha cheers for the chop and ur input =].

i think i'm gonna go for whites anyway (after i get bored of black), i dont mind them getting dirty cos.. i think ill stop caring after a while hahas, then jst wash em wen i wash the car. cheers!

[curtis265]

yeh i rkn the whites do look very nice..

ur not into any other colour are you?

[black8thgen]

nahhh, i was into gold for a while, but its hard to find a nice gold, then white really grew on me, as did black (not so much though). and not really a fan of gunmetal/bronze or chrome. silver is ok but then i would just keep my stockies =].

[ganj3]

Wow black8thgen you really need to lower your car, look at the rear!

[black8thgen]

yeh i got the coils sitting in my lounge room waiting to be fitted lolol. and in that pic its cos my driveway is slightly slanted so the right rear lifts up a bit, but yep i agree wit ya haha

[aero]

go 18s and white or gold :thumbsup:

[ej20i]

wow white do look good huh

[pairz-reason]

hey guys just got the engine start button from jdm concept. Now i remember someone telling me to get the wiring at jaycar but jaycar told me they have any wiring for such buttons. So where do i get it from?

[ej20i]

u have to diy the wiring with just normal wires

[ekdez]

[ej20i]

[black8thgen]

btw tim dont take my work nuts!!! if i can convince my dad i shud be getting those rims this weekend =].

[curtis265]

i think it's an FA converted to a JDM rear end, cos i remember seeing that on 8thciv, but it had the usdm ass.

I reckon the spoiler makes it look higher, lol

[ekdez]

btw tim dont take my work nuts!!! if i can convince my dad i shud be getting those rims this weekend =].

[ekdez]

lol.. yeah it happens a lot these days.
spoilt generation of people who dont know the value of money.

i was one of them.. but pay for my own shit now.

[fitme]

black rims = hotter and agressive

[ej20i]

what about these gangstas
LOL!

i dunno what the front rims are tho

[black8thgen]

LOL TIM WTF?!

i need a proper job.. then i'll start paying for my own shit and pay my parents back lol. lack of money sucks.

[curtis265]

[black8thgen]

yo curtis can ya photoshop my car with the stockies but in white pleaaaase? and possibly dumped a little =D. decided cr kais in black r not the way to go lol. (thanks to tim)

cheers!

[sapook]

will these fit my fd1?

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123632

[ganj3]

I'm pretty sure they will fit but just double check with the rest of the guys on here

[fitme]

^^ the euro rims? yes it will fit saw one lastweek on a vti, it looks good though, but i suggest you have to put a spacer to make the rims more outward...cause its +55 offset correct me if im wrong

[ej20i]

fitme is correct!
looks stupid without spacers, but if u dump it low...hmmmmm maybe ok

[jjeetthh]

just wanna ask a silly question, hope u guys won't mind.. i just bought a 2010 civic, due to arrive hopefully next week.. i've read somewhere that i could replace the rims & tyres like in a few weeks or maybe a few months without voiding the warranty... they say as long as the modification was not the cause of the prob, you could still claim warranty.. others say it depends on the dealer? can someone confirm this? thanks mates!

[black8thgen]

dealers can blame whatever they want really.. and u cant do THAT much about it without going through a massive deal (thats what i've learnt from some people's past experiences)

[ej20i]

well this is the dealer's theory,
if u change the rims it wont affect the waranty on your lights but in case of anything happens, the dealer can blame YOU for your lights and not put them under waranty because they can
for eg, my clutch is funny at first but they woundt change it or fix it because i lowered my car but after a while the clutch is fine now
happy modding

fair enough.. thanks mate

[black8thgen]

curtiss where are youu =D

btw, just test fitted 16x7 +30 lol, dad's old rims from a camry haha. sticks out of the guards but its 1mm clear of the brakes and JUST doesn't scrub on the inner wall/guards lol, prob using them as spares if i get my rims painted. or do u guys think 1mm clearance on brakes is too close a call?

[aero]

try carrying a passenger or 2 in the back. see how scrubbing goes then lol
then also try them when lowered :p

any clearance between brakes is good enough imo. some people need to sand down their calipers or sometimes the inside of the rim.

[curtis265]

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/lowered1.jpg
lowered - you'll end up with this.
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/lowering2.jpg
noticably low

[.k.]

i think ive got like 0.5mm of brake clearance w/ dc5r rims

[ekdez]

lowered - you'll end up with this.
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/lowering2.jpg
noticably low

wouldn't recommend going this low on the front, if its your first time that low and if your coils are soft...

say good bye to sump, lip etc.. not to mention you'll prob pull your fenders out when turning. OUCH!

[black8thgen]

yeahh dont think im gonna be going that low, hahas. anyway thanks curtis!!

don't think so, if u swap with SAME spec with stock rims. but what a point ?


hey guys just got the engine start button from jdm concept. Now i remember someone telling me to get the wiring at jaycar but jaycar told me they have any wiring for such buttons. So where do i get it from?
not the wiring, but the connector only. and it's not esp. design for the button. it's comp. connector.


hey guys,
i guttered my rims this morning at TLM!!!
bloody hell!
LOL!
anyway im quite annoyed that its my rays and i wanna get it fixed
anyone has an experience on getting riams repaired?!?!?!
its gun blue colour 57s Maximum about 10 cm rashes!!
please help
thanks
can't 100% avoid this matter. sometimes i just hit the road hole, and ... scratchhhhhhhh:(
repaired ? need to repaint after machined.




i used TP 140 x 45 - 5 m, and that's good enough.
if u have spare $$$, get 190 x 45. much better. but 140 should be ok.
they're covered in AS 1324.1 and 1324.8
but if the rafter more than 5m, u have to use 190x45. otherwise will bow after u put the roof on. and not covered by AS (australian standard)
cheers

Just outside the main quad opposite the tennis courts & fisher library.

curtis: hehe yeah, i've got the stock one back on. But after my roadtrip, you'll probably notice a massive titanium cannon.

[FallenAngel]

haha WIN!

[ej20i]

ryan, show us what you just got done!!!

[curtis265]

I went with a friend to Burswood Honda today and got a quote on foglights (was buyin touchup paint)

Quoted $600 for foggies, i lol'd
Quoted $260 for a type-R grille badge for an FN2R

[ganj3]

Lol went wif me!

[curtis265]

hell yeh. use work car lol

[dny]

curtis how much is the touchup paint?

[curtis265]

$21.50... but i swear u can get it cheaper.

It was for a 15 mL bottle with a brush (sorta like a whiteout)

[dny]

ahhh ok do you just get it from the service centre? lol my first service there is tomrrow and i dont know what to do! hahahahah just park it inside the garage?

[black8thgen]

well at hornsby u have to drive it up the driveway and park it, then go inside to give in the keys and get paper works started n all that shit (tell them ur there for ur service lol). but it could be different at other branches, but yeah... just follow the other honda cars around haha

btw - got my car lowered yesterday on tanabe coils =]. pics shud be up today if i can find my camera.

waited around 7 hours to get it done lolol. thanks tim for letting me bum around at ur shop!!!! life saver hahaha. =]

[curtis265]

Black8thgen, u got it done at a mechanic? 7 hrs is ages man, I once read somewhere that it took them 7 hrs for a DIY coily install..

dny, you just go to the spare parts desk and ask them for it..

[fitme]

well at hornsby u have to drive it up the driveway and park it, then go inside to give in the keys and get paper works started n all that shit (tell them ur there for ur service lol). but it could be different at other branches, but yeah... just follow the other honda cars around haha

can you watch your car during the service?? cause i wanna see personally if they really done something to the car..like changing oil filter and oil...

[ganj3]

I know at the Burswood one here in Perth, the waiting area has a big window which you can look out and see the mechanics working on the cars

[JaCe]

can you watch your car during the service?? cause i wanna see personally if they really done something to the car..like changing oil filter and oil...

not afaik. unless u go to BK or something (i.e. private garage services) rather than a dealer.

:cool:

[fitme]

not afaik. unless u go to BK or something (i.e. private garage services) rather than a dealer.

hmm ok..cause im going to pay around $300+ for the first change oil, and ive read somewhere that someone had a changed oil but didnt replaced the filter...

DIY will cost you less $100 ..dealer price $%^cks

[black8thgen]

uhm nah u cant watch the service be done, u can from afar, and hope ur car is in one of the bays close to the reception desk lolol - but yeah u wont be able to see much lol. just trust em and maybe check stuff urself afterwards if ur concerned.

@ curtis: yeah, it wasnt just installing coils though, also adjusting to the height i wanted and a wheel alignment (however they did that before lowering, so i need another wheel alignment now.. but too low to get up the ramp =.= - anyone kno where i can get it done at a place with low ramps?)

heres some pics: rear is a bit too low though - stupid sub is too heavy.

[fsjk85]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k290/Rizen-Fate/DSC00072.jpg

how'd you get that lovely blue in the headlights?

[curtis265]

Blue coated bulbs. Blue color from the bulbs gets picked up by the reflectors, and you end up seeing blue like that.

I want yellows :) (but that's fkin expensive)

[fsjk85]

simple enough. thought it would involve cracking open the headlights and tinting that part blue, which i guess would look better, but that would just be a pain to do.

[black8thgen]

nah its just a blue tinted bulb lol (my high beams)

[insanelin]

I went with a friend to Burswood Honda today and got a quote on foglights (was buyin touchup paint)

Quoted $600 for foggies, i lol'd
Quoted $260 for a type-R grille badge for an FN2R

I went to the honda @ collins and the foggies are going for 450 a set without installation...however the touch up paint i bot was $24.15 for the 15ml bottle

[curtis265]

eBay has a set for 100, which includes switches cables and fuses as necessary. That's why i lol'd. If u really wanted, u can alwyas pay an auto-electrician to do it for u..

[J-Spec23]

nice drop man....

can someone photochop it to white car...:)

curtis photochop my car to be low like that :D

[fitme]

they upgraded the vtil rims for 2010 model..design is the same as the the 2.0 09' but in 16" size..lol...i never liked the 09 sports rim.....stil the 07-08 17" rims is the sexiest FD rim

[curtis265]

Jonathan, gimmie a pic. :)

[PHM91]

hey guys, im looking for mugen visors, kit and front grille located in brisbane pm me if you got.

[aero]

there are a couple of traders here on ozhonda that have those for pretty cheap. although they are replicas tho and not the genuine thing. still look just as good tho :p

also, ebay stocks those items as well.

[ekdez]

drive without p plates on (Y) LOL. way more aesthetically pleasing without p plates.

[black8thgen]

true.. but getting caught will be a big bitch =[. hahaha.

[ekdez]

but think about all the hassles and unwanted attention you get as a p plater.. i hated it after the first week so i drove without the p's on and no more hassles by anyone.. not even the cops. i might have been lucky tho.

[black8thgen]

wow really. yeah maybe... i reckon if cops looked in and saw me driving it with no p plates id be screwed, especially around my area. but then again i have never ever been pulled over.. i just got my greens today so been on reds for a year and no troubles whatsoeverrr =]

[Stig]

got my fulls last month then my license suspended LOL

[black8thgen]

LOL. snap.. ahaha.

[evil_1998]

[curtis265]

I took off my VTi-L badge. tried rubbing off the gluey shit with meth spirits, rubbed so hard that i've got fkin swirls everywhere...

Anyway,
Filled in the missing chunk with touch up paint using a knife edge to put the paint in. My main concern was overfilling the hole so that it goes over.. I want the paint to be 'flush' with the clearcoat...

i think its ok overfilling it...then wait till the paint really dries up....then sand it with 2000grit sandpaper..and apply some scratch remover

[JOhnnyFD]

labour is soo much, diy ftw :p

[JOhnnyFD]

just give em a buzz, see what they say.. they probably have the wires or they can source em and so may charge you extra for the wiring on top of labour installing

[TurBIce]

I know this isnt a mod but can u use normal wiper blades u get from kmart or does it have to be some special honda one? coz the wiper looks difference~~

[JOhnnyFD]

we dont have actually wiper blades.. its all rubber instead

[TurBIce]

we dont have actually wiper blades.. its all rubber instead

wot. so how do we change them without going to honda/midas....

coz my right blade has a small cut init. so when it wipes water. it has a nice line of water..
i think this was caused by small stick or something that was wiped on....

[JOhnnyFD]

the rubber blades are pretty durable.. but if its damaged somehow, get a replacement at any honda dealer

i remember seeing some aftermarket rubber blades but forgot the brand.. saw them at Australia's Best Tyres @ Roselands

[ryanc]

yeh mine's got the streak thing as well.. frigen annoying..

normal wear and tear i think

[FallenAngel]

I saw a Black FD with lenso rims on king georges rd yesterday at around 6pm.

The thing is i noticed that he had the Mugen Type R kit on! Is that anyone here?

[ej20i]

LOL!
me and curtis saw like FD2Rs and Gab saw an FD1 with R kit

[black8thgen]

LOL. tim hows jap?

[ej20i]

Jap is awesome
i wanna move here and be like lost in translation!
People are so polite, like seriously.
so clean, i witness my first JDM rubbish on the train after spending 10 hours here
and havent witness anyone smoking or talking on the phone
as talking on the phone in public is considered as rude
how polite is that!??!?!?!?!
even at autosalon!
so many people but taking photo is not hard at all as everyone moves out of the way for u and says sorry
well apart from taking photos of the girls
they just dont care!

[sapook]

LOL Japan's an awesome place mate!
Have fun! :D

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a99850a090.jpg


so affordable:
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/bb290b2c54.jpg

this is not my first time seeing the FD2R tho but it's the first time i can get up so close and look without worry about owners.

[threesix]

id jack off a grizzle bear with my ass for an FD2R (then take the wing off and drive to hospital)

if its the same button as the s2000. cable wise you need the power cable that goes into a floppy disc drive.

[ej20i]

exactly, just get a connector from Jaycar and wires from jaycar and google the wiring diagram
