yeah true haha! thought was there tho =]

[black8thgen]

[dannybubu]

what happens if we put a dc5r engine into an fd? would the coppers know its an older engine than the car? or we only going to have roadworthy problems when we want to sell it?

[curtis265]

yes, lots

unless you can cleverly disguise it as a k20z2, lol

[ej20i]

yea, i dont think cops would know the differ
but road registering it and engineer cert would be quite hard to get

[Atjo]

oh phew, made me feel a bit better, its 5x112

You can fit 5x112 to 5x114.3. Ivan's Estatus D2 is 5x112.

[aero]

my car was glowing in person, love the sun!

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/10112009246.jpg

[Stig]

i like this set over your previous set

[ekdez]

me 2 i <3 LM's. but its time to change..
if i can afford to keep these rims i will haha

[dny]

ej20i what brand is ur shift knob and how much and where did you get it from?

cheers. looks mad

[ganj3]

ekdez, your car is champagne colour? I always thought it was silver lol

[aero]

yeah. in most of ur pics it looks silver lol

[ej20i]

Thanks ek, it does look small too
i thought its just mine.
aero, its razo and i got it from autobacs in japan.
i love it, although some time i wish its red stitching

[ekdez]

ekdez, your car is champagne colour? I always thought it was silver lol


yeah. in most of ur pics it looks silver lol

yeah its the "satalight mist" colour. champange gold in other words..

me and 1 other person (williamwong?) i think are the only ones to do a gold one up :\

im only 21 and yes.. i know its an old persons colour but damn i love it.

my nick name dez.. lol.. "ek" civic was my old car. =] hence ekdez.. kinda like johnnyFD.. i struggled to think of an approriate user name the day i signed up.

[threesix]

i like the colour.

[Stig]

williamwong had a silver one lol

[ganj3]

Modded champagne FDs are definitely unique. Ive only ever seen one other modded champagne colour FD and that was on the SG forums

[ej20i]

anyone here has foggies and fujita cai intake?
i cant fit my foggies in for the left coz the intake is in the way
so im running with right foggies only
drag style
LOL!

[curtis265]

^Dam, what a PITA. Can you get a smaller pod?

Ekdez, sry man, but champagne is for seedy old men. Unique, but a special, seedy kind of unique.

[ej20i]

yea i guess, but will i be loosing on performace?

[curtis265]

Not unless u get a 3A racing filter, hahahahaha

Essentially u want an optimisation between filtration and airflow, and if you've read that completely unbiased PDF report about the different air filters... you'll know what i mean.

Air Filter Shootout (http://www.australianauto.com.au/HTML/Images/Air%20Filter%20Shoot%20Out.pdf)

I dont think that Fujita has designed their CAI down to the filter - i mean, it's a replacable item and all, but i doubt it'll have a heavily influence the ram air effects created

[ej20i]

hmmm maybe i'll give that a go
ive cut out the dam placement for it and now it doest even work
im giving up for today!
LOL!

[Stig]

im running an injen cai and both of my foggies if that helps and my fog hid ballast tucked behind it LOL

[9ineto5ive]

this is random question, anyone know how long the oem wheel studs fds are? planning to use 15mm - 20mm hub centric spacers? do i require to change the oem studs to extended studs?

[curtis265]

You have two sets of bolts for spacers dude... if u use longer bolts, u put shitloads of stress onto the longer bolts.

[Stig]

this is random question, anyone know how long the oem wheel studs fds are? planning to use 15mm - 20mm hub centric spacers? do i require to change the oem studs to extended studs?

depends, what kind of hubcentric spacers are they?

if they are the bolt on ones like these then no

http://www.isc-warehouse.com/images/products/5x114_L.gif

like these then yes

http://www.midland-ferrari.co.uk/edit/files/type1spacer.jpg

[9ineto5ive]

is there gonna be enough thread left to hold the 15mm - 20mm spacers on the oem studs?

[Stig]

it is highly recommended to change to longer studs when using spacers to distribute the load evenly so they dont snap if youre not using bolt on spacers

[curtis265]

I'd suggest bolt on spacers ey... longer studs is getting dangerous

[9ineto5ive]

bolt on spacers are the ones with the holes so that the bolt goes flush with the spacers?

[curtis265]

I think bolt on means that you bolt them on to the hub, then bolt the wheel onto the hub, as opposed to a long stud

[Stig]

correct!

[9ineto5ive]

any brand in mind what i should get?

[Stig]

h&r, ichiba or weds (can get weds from jdmconcept - but they arent hubcentric)

[.k.]

which brisbane people are going on the march clem7 cruise? we should have meetup first then goto first spot together :)

[ej20i]

stig, is ur foggies oem or ebay?

[9ineto5ive]

hey, whats the center bore size for our FDs?

[rk 86 wa]

Get bolt on spacers at your own peril, I just killed a wheel bearing and a contributing factor was the 15mm spacer I was using.

[9ineto5ive]

what branded spacers were u using?

[Stig]

hey, whats the center bore size for our FDs?

64.1mm from memory


stig, is ur foggies oem or ebay?

yeah oem, brought them from the dealer and installed them myself, i wasnt going to let them install it for 250... what a rip

[aero]

which brisbane people are going on the march clem7 cruise? we should have meetup first then goto first spot together :)

ill go. engee is on the list as well, so thats another FD at least. i'll try to get some others. wont be hearing any loud vtec from our cars, but at least we'll rock up for the event lol

[ej20i]

[QUOTE=yeah oem, brought them from the dealer and installed them myself, i wasnt going to let them install it for 250... what a rip[/QUOTE]

[FDBenni]

OTR at clayton sells the FD2R bodykit.

[.k.]

is there a specific size + offset which = concave and how do i find out? - dez/stig?

[Stig]

depends on what rim and how wide you can go... its mostly all about offset

and seeing what the rim looks like from others

[ekdez]

depends on what rim and how wide you can go... its mostly all about offset

and seeing what the rim looks like from others

Following on from that,

To achieve a "decent" concave look, you'd need a lowwwwww offset. which on a honda is hard/impossible.

Unless you decide to run something like 18x7.5 +0 offset, but most rim manufacturers choose not to produce those sorts of wheels anymore because there is no demand for them.

But then again, having said that, it all depends on the style of rim.

Its do-able tho.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4207819379_26ffda8400_o.jpg

18x7.5 +22 all round with 225/40/18

And from the looks of it, those rims are pushing the limits..
Could also be the tire too...
Fyi, Euro fitment is similar to fd civic. =]

[Stig]

yeah although kit is running a 7.5+22... they have been discontinued since 2002 lol so its near impossible to get another set unless you get very lucky

[ekdez]

Hey Henry, I'm sorry but i think gonna have to get some t1s :\
Don't worry they will be WBC finish tho.

[Stig]

nooo!!! means you get more aggressive offset than me! haha

[ekdez]

Maybe ;)
Still deciding whether im going to make myself BROKE buying both both the air sus and wheels...

[patto]

Anyone have the FD Sport wheels (Type R lookalikes) they wanna sell?? I am after a set

[ej20i]

im trying to sell simota air carbon charger tooo

[black8thgen]

funny u ask that.. i am LOL - pm me price and info pleaaase =].

[9ineto5ive]

why u guys selling simota intake? what are u guys planning to get? simota intake not that good?

[black8thgen]

everyones just got new intakes hahah (tim got fujita)

[curtis265]

lol j-spec23 and evil_1998 just got 3A racing intakes too!

[9ineto5ive]

yea but are they for the civic fd2 the sports 2.0L?

[black8thgen]

wheres 3A from? and any for fd2?

[curtis265]

Nah it was a DIY modification of the stock housing to put the 3A pod filter as a SRI... lol

[black8thgen]

ooh right hahaha niceeee

[9ineto5ive]

how does the simota carbon charger go? any power gain? as i am waiting for my carbon charger 2 to come in

[black8thgen]

ohh really. u got fd2? well tim says it does increase pull and responsiveness. but u have to get it sorta custom setup to a CAI rather than an SRI or connected to the stock resonator.

[9ineto5ive]

well im gona get a duct connect to it and feed it to the front... also would u happen to know how long our oem wheel studs are?

[black8thgen]

yeh do that - that is effectively a CAI. u got an fd2 mate?

uhm.. no clue lol. i just know my stock wheel nuts are about 34mm long. just like the fd?

[9ineto5ive]

yea i got a fd2. planning on throwing on jdm dc5r rims with spacers all round as the offset are really off to oem offset of fd. but the thing is i might have to grind down some of the oem stud down to fit the spacers.

[black8thgen]

ooh, mate if u have fd2 rims. keep them. they r gun (Y) lol.

[J-Spec23]

ej20i is that a VAFC controller in ur car? the photos u took at UNSW?
:D

[ej20i]

LOL!
i wish!
can we even fit a vafc in our car?
i dont think so
its RSM

[J-Spec23]

haha i WAS going to say >=[[
nah dont think it can ay i heard it doesnt even work on the dc5r's

[curtis265]

[FallenAngel]

agreed lol

[jon22]

[Stig]

where can i buy a turbo kit from? can't seem to find any online stores.

best to search in the states, tsi is a good brand, but tuning will be hard in aus since no one has experience on AEM ecu's

http://www.procivic.com/pages-product_car_part_info/category-70_88/product-963/index.html

[dannybubu]

what about zage?...or ask them to change the AEM to greddy ECU?

[liquid23]

ok guys long awaited news. a new production of rr kits is being produced. it is PP material and is direct replacement of your front bumper and rear bumper. It is as cheap as chips. The bumpers are direct copy of the real mugen rr.

i will be importing it along with rr bonnet and type r spoilers =) gonna give it a try and if anyone wants it i will be happy to import for them. this product is way better and cheaper than the other places out there.

[aero]

how cheap is cheap?

hahah yeh on the grass under the tree! my car was nice and cool, but can't believe the fines are increased to 45 now! bought books that day + went to the tav, so it ended up costing me just over 400 lols

[ekdez]

just a quick question which others may/might not know..
do the US FG? have the same body "shape and measurements" as the aus delivered FD?

if thats the case then..
17 X 9 +25 or a lower offset all around will fit ours?

http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/50/33/img_2812.jpg

http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/50/33/img_2813.jpg

[curtis265]

Thats FA5 :P

I'm pretty sure they do - the front might be a bit wider though, got bigger engine...

I do know, however that their coilys will fit our cars.

[black8thgen]

that thing is damn hot

[Stig]

i think fender wise they are the same, 17x9+25 will fit the car perfectly lol, even running on coilovers, just the tyres are going to be like what? 225?

[Stig]

what about zage?...or ask them to change the AEM to greddy ECU?

i guess you could ask them to change from AEM to greddy but it will cost i bit more i rkn

i heard to stay away from zage due to poor quality with their turbos

[dannybubu]

man the turbo setup in the civic looks like poop...not very stylish at all

[curtis265]

screw turboing it, get a k20 and turbo it, i rkn it's probs less work, R18's aren't work the effort on imo.

[ekdez]

or... sell your car get an eg/ek and k20 it then turbo it for the same price =]

[dannybubu]

k20 + turbo?...rather spend my money and get a new car...lolz..that would cost more than the original price of the car...

[curtis265]

yah but ur new car won't go as fast.... It's all abot being hardcore.. lol

[dny]

wow i was gonna go for 19s on my car but now seeing those driftek 17s, looks mad!

and cheaper tooo! its like 1700 with tires at tech9tyres

[Stig]

man i want some 17x9 now LOL

[hondar]

http://jdmconcept.com.au/forum-image/parts450.png

[9ineto5ive]

get the carbon fiber wrap thing and wrap it yourself lol which i was planning to do but dont know how well it goes

[black8thgen]

ive got a real carbon grille like that already - was tempted to wrap my spare stock grille with carbon wrap and then carbon wrap my hood... but ended up deciding i like wet carbon look better lol.

and wrapping a grille shud be fine buddy.

[hondar]

get the carbon fiber wrap thing and wrap it yourself lol which i was planning to do but dont know how well it goes

sure you can do it.

i just merely putting options for people who want to get real carbon :D

[ekdez]

man i want some 17x9 now LOL

don't be silly. 18" minimum.

[curtis265]

The 17x9 looks really realllly 'correct' on that car though...

Question - would anyone trade their 'jdm' front end for a USDM front end?

[Stig]

don't be silly. 18" minimum.

those gram lights 57pro titanium finish dez ;) 18x9+20 and +30... FLUSHNESS!


The 17x9 looks really realllly 'correct' on that car though...

Question - would anyone trade their 'jdm' front end for a USDM front end?

lol the usdm guys would do it

[ekdez]

only if it was in the shape of this

http://i45.tinypic.com/2cd8pw3.jpg

[aero]

[ekdez]

it looks like your exhaust is more hidden then mine :|
maybe because its a black car or just the axle back?

sexy car tho =[

[curtis265]

@ekdez
The usdm front end is more aggressive looking imo...

and that coupe.. is just HOT. I'd love to have one... I've even considered selling the FD and shipping an Si coupe over once... and once only, lol

@stig
That pic is perfect... rly shows off ur wheels.

[Stig]

dez - i have no idea... lol wait for tim to install his and see how it turns out

[ekdez]

Might also be because i have the 60RS where as you have the 304-R?
Any difference there? Sigh =,= after watching youtube vids, I wish i got the 70RR..

[Stig]

i want the fujitsubo legalis r... but APPARENTLY they only make it for the singapore market and none of the traders can get it... :(

btw thanks curtis lol

[Stig]

this is for the fd1 btw, you can get it for the fd2 easy

[ekdez]

hey, you got the x9's on the front ay?

and yeah i wanted the legalis-r too :\

anyhow bed time ciao for now.

[Stig]

ya x9... but i want something like +35 offset now... +38 is making me go GAH

[Zimp13]

just a quick question which others may/might not know..
do the US FG? have the same body "shape and measurements" as the aus delivered FD?

[aero]

white on white is sex

[ej20i]

i installed my 304r already
pretty disappointed on how it looks on the car
but really satisfied with its sound

[Stig]

still cant hear it over the cai though lol

[threesix]

that wing on the white on white up there is sweet! still dont get the whole roof rack trend though..

[eNGee]

Has anyone here painted their FD front & rear brake calipers?

I've been reading the DIY's and also seen pics of Danny-Marts yellow calipers on his Silver FD (IMO yucky colour combination)...

But yeah... I'm thinking of painting both front and rear calipers on my NHB civic RED . Would like some pics/opinions before deciding to paint them or not. Cheers!

[dny]

i reckon you should spray them AQUA

Has anyone here painted their FD front & rear brake calipers?

I've been reading the DIY's and also seen pics of Danny-Marts yellow calipers on his Silver FD (IMO yucky colour combination)...

But yeah... I'm thinking of painting both front and rear calipers on my NHB civic RED . Would like some pics/opinions before deciding to paint them or not. Cheers!

markcivicvti has painted his calipers red on his fd, up here in brisbane. painted the layers on with a brush.

BC (Bhor Chuan) coilovers better than teins super street or vice versa?

[aero]

tein ss > bhor chuan

[ekdez]

bc n+ > tein SS > bhor chuan =D

[Zimp13]

i disagree... the new bhor chuan is excellent....... tein SS u race, dont think will last as long as bhor chuan..... a know a few ppl race with bhor chuan for 2 years and still no problem.......

bhor chuan gold edition is excellent...... anytime i recommend to people

[Zimp13]

also... price ratio with quality??????????? bhor chuan is very very very good...... those who use will not regret........

[dannybubu]

i heard the same...bhor chuan excellent quality...where as buddy club N+ is poor quality...BC is bang for it's buck...

[Stig]

tein is best of both worlds? :o

[Zimp13]

tein ss will not last on track

[Stig]

of course... hence they are called super STREET not super track

[Zimp13]

of course... hence they are called super STREET not super track

borr chuan didnt call super track either and cheaper

[ekdez]

I was just being an idiot before about the n+>tein>bc.

I think you will find "BC Racing" or "Bor Chuan Enterprises" is a manufacturer of coilovers.
And they produce a privately labeled coilovers for other companys. I wouldn't be supprised to find Buddyclub or T1R being made by Bor Chuan Enterprises.. So to say that Buddyclub products are shit, is pretty silly as the coilover that you are looking at most probably comes out of the same factory, just with a different label.

D2 are another manufacturer of coilovers and they produce such coilovers as ksport etc..

Market penetration and flooding the market with your products under different names works.

[Zimp13]

u r rite.... from what i know borr chuan does manufacture some other japanese well known brand coilovers....

[ej20i]

my mate uses BC Gold on his ek and another on WRX
and they are both very happy with em, TBH, they are not so bad as what people say

[Zimp13]

i am not promoting for borr chuan as i certainly do not have anything to gain from that.... i have used a couple of their coilovers.... the old one compared with the current gold one..... the gold one is much better..... i have used tein, hks, apex'i, koni.... borr chuan gold for fd is so far the best one...... of cos this is for my personal like and feeling..........

[ekdez]

you went through 4 sets of coils :|

sounds like me with my ek. haha

[dannybubu]

bhor chuan makes it for greddy if that helps...so they're not making it poorly.

[Zimp13]

you went through 4 sets of coils :|

sounds like me with my ek. haha

i used to have an ek4. Still regret till today why i sold it. Its da only car that i regret selling

[ekdez]

join the club.

[Stig]

i want an eg :(

[curtis265]

Buy mine?

[pairz-reason]

hey guys just wana get some opnion from you guys. i see stigs fd is full baller style but just wondering hows the turning circle and would it scrub when on full lock turning? having said that even if u get a front and rear camber kit to clear the guards it does stop it from scrubbing when u have passengers and hitting bumps on the road. I was looking at a new set of rims from jdm concept. Just wondeering would 17x7 be too small? need to know more about the camber kits, coil overs, tyre sizes and rim sizes with different offsets.. educate me guys lol... atm just running on 17x7 looks heaspz small and still stock height with a mugen lip kit.

[FallenAngel]

If you think 17x7 is too small, you need to talk to ekdez and stig as they are the baller ones LOL.

Although 17x7 is perfect for me =]

[aero]

stig is running on air suspension. so even if he does scrub when his car is moderately low, he can always raise his car in just seconds :p

http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/50/33/img_2812.jpg

17 x 9!

the offset just makes it look awesome. concave rims = win :thumbsup:


question: if i were to throw some 17x8 and 17x8.5 +35 wheels, what size tyres would be recommended for minimal scrubbing? 215s?

[amurray]

18x8.5+30 stretched 215/35/18 falken rubber bands.
I rolled and pulled so i wouldnt have to add ridiculous camber. I think its at -2.9 at the moment. Idr.the fronts need less camber to be honest just had no time for it

Has any of you rolled fenders?

[amurray]

wow me like

watcha guys think 17x7 workemotion XD9 on a red fd civic... bronze? colour suggestions and also need to think about the sus. Saw the post you guys talking about bc coil overs are they any good? or there is the tanabe one on jdm concept. just so confused don't know which one to get i need the ride comfort but need some stiffer feeling and less body roll so i guess io need a rear sway bar too .oh dear so much work to do up a car aye lol

[Stig]

17x7... to small! gotta go at least 18x7.5

or if you are keen on 17s go wider!

[black8thgen]

Tanabe is awesome. Very comfortable and good cornering.

just installed front and rear Cusco swaybars, combining with Buddyclub N+ and Cidep full car brace set, the handling is... AWESOME !! i now have a very colourfull chassis haha, will post pics as soon as i get home!!!

[howy]

Those coilover pics are misleading, not exactly for the FD.

The rear coilover setup is actually separate, not 1 piece (as in the springs and the shocks will sit in different locations).

[fitme]

hmm thinking painting my 08 sports rims into takata green....
ryan can you pm me your friend who painted yours into white...thanks

btw is there a such lowering springs = stock in terms of ride comfort?
i want to lower my fd and i dont want to compromise comfort...

Nup,
Making a modification to your car might/will have a consequence, which will only be apparent if you do it.. if you know what i mean..

[Waternmo]

They are for FD civics, the springs and the adjuster are seperate to the shock itself if u look carefully... they are put together for the photo only...

Referring back to stig. I agree with you that the 17's look a little small but at the same time scrubbing is a big problem when you turn corners or hit a tiny pot hole or even seat a few more mates and the wheels would be scrubbing hard. whereas air sus is different u can adjust height at anytime its convenient. I mean if your willing to drive slow and turn corners lightly then big wheels would be the way to go. So what do you suggest stif even if i go 17's and if i drop it too low it would still scrub in the side at the front when i turn either way and ill have to get a camber kit for sure. Tyres would start going bald inside. Or i have the option of getting spacers but then the wheel guard would scrub either way even if i roll them. hmmz dilemma bro

[aero]

its not really the size of the rim that makes it scrub. more to do with the width, offset and tyres. u could have 20x8 +42 and still be fine. if ur offset is too low, and tyres are too wide, then u will scrub regardless of whether its 17" or 20".

if ur scared of potholes on a bigger size rim, u could option for a bigger profile of tyres. it can give u slight better comfort and more space between ur rims and the road

[pairz-reason]

ok so.. what is the offset range a fd1 civic can have may i ask? offset has to do with how much it sticks out right yeh from the hub so having said that there is a recommended offset for each car right?

[Stig]

possibilities are endless for offset and width, easiest way is to pick a wheel you like, see what size,offset and width the manufacture offers and work from there

ive been through the whole spectrum of 16", 17", 18", 19" and 20" wheels while i was on coilovers

if you want 17x7, then you can drop it as low as you want and there wouldnt be any scrubbing issues cos 17x7+45 was the manufactures size for the sport rims

[Stig]

not too low to the point where the wheels cant turn though! im saying like 1-3" drop here

[amurray]

[jon22]

[amurray]

[ekdez]

[ekdez]

or you are doing both a fd front conversion and a dc5 turbz lol :\ im confuzzled

[d@vid]

You think white will look good on silver car..... or should I go for black

[curtis265]

On what tim?

I used to drive a bodykitted pulsar with around 7cm bumper clearance... Scraped it once or twice when i was still noob, but after a while i got the hang of turning the steering wheel like crazy and going up speedbumps and driveways sideways...

[aero]

wow that red civic looks awesome!

white wheels on silver look aweful, imo. black on silver is better. or even gold/bronze wheels.

yea.. i loved em! they were perfect for the ek.
i'd have been lower to the ground if it wasn't for my driveway :\
