Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[aero]

unoe guys, i was just thinking,

why does our rallye red look like shit, but the usdm look good?

i dont think there is much difference, i just havnt seen ANY modified red fd's here in aus.

[curtis265]

Yeh it's the same, but when i see a rallye red civic, i puke.

Theirs seem to look OK.

[ej20i]

getting out on stupid driveways and stuff!i think i just misjudge on how low my car is
i think its because our Rallye Red is all stock and really doesnt suite the chrome around the car

[pairz-reason]

absolutely agree my one is red with black rims.. but it looks even worse when i first bought it.. i went red as theres was not much stock left and i had to wait so i stuffed it

[aero]

nah. i like the red civics. i'll swap u for my silver one lol

[FallenAngel]

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 :\
the rear arch sat like that over the rim the whole time and the front would tuck most of the tire =]
p.s. you should see my driveway haha oh the amount of damage i did to the road..

j's racing center pipe, guess which one is for fd1 and fd2r?

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g219/jdmconcept-com-au/blog/comparison.jpg

[howy]

longer one for FD1?

[hondar]

longer one for FD1?


yeah mate.. i was shocked when it comes and the box is super long.

for those who has fd2, better off getting the fd2r one and fabricate an extension, the fd2r one is a bit short for our fd2

[ekdez]

lol... yeah when i saw mine i was amazed too hehe =]

well when i saw the stock one! its like a peee shooter

p.s. are those stainless steel?

[hondar]

yes mate they are, the 304 sus

[JOhnnyFD]

installed mine today.. coz i got on a FD2R rear bumper, the J's muffler is towards the left

also, theres a gasket provided.. when put on, the bolts coming from the b-pipe arent long enough to connect to the center pipe, so didnt put on the gasket and the guys who installed put some adhesive between the pipe connections

overall, the sound is great with the silencer... also the silencer was already placed in the muffler and i couldnt take it out, its like stuck there.. maybe drive with it for a while and see if it comes abit loose

intakes sound ok, whether sri or cai on an auto. but exhausts are just fail. my car used to be my mother's, hence why it an auto and there is no way i would ever put in a racing exhaust on it.. its just embarrassing lol. ive just changed the exhaust tips and that is just fine by me.


http://firesport.com.au/images/149139_2010030251.jpg

:confused:..ohhh how come its not in full length?

i think its the carbon centre lip. usually on the RR there are 2 spoilers. the big mugen RR spoiler and then there is the smaller lip which sits in between it on the boot. im guessing, that's what it is.

[black8thgen]

Yeh just get intake mate. Not much point getting ful exhaust system lol. Just save for a manual car. I'm getting intake next week =].

[aero]

btw.. i just saw pics of this white car on ebay.. person is selling the rr kit already?? says that he has purchased a wide body kit for the fd?!?!? would like to see that!

[dny]

that boot lip goes inbetween the mugen wing right?

looks funny by itself. this kit needs the wider fenders imo for it to look better

[howy]

For some reason, the kit makes the car look over done.

Doesn't look nice anymore :/

[kawai]

the kit have a nice snug fit :) but should get the break clips sprayed at least in red :D.

Btw how many " exhaust does this guy have? must be loud and a bit slow at take off :D from my noobish senses of impression.

Can other person make senses of the Chinese on the back is he trying to say "Good guy" or he is playing with the words and make its sounds like "HORNY GUY" :D

[pairz-reason]

someone educate me more about the air intake. what does difference between the two types?.. i remember a while ago we put in a simota cold air intake in my friend amnual fd1 and the engine light amber light turned on on the dash.. like whats the go with that ?.. had to take it back to honda to reset the computer

[ej20i]

SRI - Short Ram Intake, where the pod sits in the engine bay sucking hot air in

CAI - Cold Air Intake, where the pod gets a cold air feed from outside better performance obviously

the engine light meaning, thats not the right kit or they didnt take the battery terminal out when installing

[Stig]

man i want my car to be jdm fd2r blue now

[ej20i]

Yes!!!!! Same here!

[dny]

you can get that blue colour in 2010 models

it looks soo fkn nice

[evil_1998]

+2..........

[9ineto5ive]

i rken the mugen rr kit looks sexyy

[FDBenni]

it would probably look better without the cf bits on the front lip.
include the mugen rr fenders and wing with a red car it should look sick
white doesnt really suit mugen rr imo

playaa.. nice choice of rims :thumbsup:

[Stig]

i finally figured out why that car looks weird... it needs to be lowered!

[FallenAngel]

it also could be that the front is lower than the rear.

Some people dont like it but i do =D

[aero]

i like the front being lower than the rear, but both could still be lowered further

[JOhnnyFD]

so since i installed the muffler and catback.. i kinda noticed my car feeling "lighter" than before

when i mean by "lighter".. i mean as in the car accelerates better/quicker than before

and also by "lighter".. the J's muffler was heaps lighter in weight compared to my previous X-Force muffler which was huge and yet the J's gives an awesome and louder sound than the X-Force.. and also the weight of the midpipe + resonator is lighter than the stock (reason being the material and also the stock resonator is bigger than the J's)

but all in all, it could either be my imagination but i just cant help but notice the difference

[black8thgen]

sound clip now =]

[JOhnnyFD]

i definitely will.. like my X-Force

gotta take it to a muffler exhaust shop first to try to align the muffler abit to the right (coz of the FD2R rear bumper) b4 taking a vid

[FallenAngel]

I think you're talking about better engine response johnny =]

[ekdez]

you do get better engine response.
just remember you get what you pay for ;)
you buy xforce.. don't expect much besides sytle and sound..
you buy something decent and you get results.. hence why i said do it right first time =]

good to hear you loving the full catback system from j's!! best sound! its so raw!

[JOhnnyFD]

hahah yeaa

reason i got X-Force was a quick fix as i didnt know when installin the FD2R bumper back then that it touched the oem muffler.. thus got sometime simple

update, managed to fix the J's muffler to fit nicely with the FD2R rear bumper and was able to get the silencer out... was about to take vid but then it started to sprinkle

new mods.. some jdm bumper stickers lol

[ekdez]

hey so did you get the fd2r 304r? or did you get the fd aus made one?

[JOhnnyFD]

the FD1 304R

[erorxxx]

wow... I love white colour FD .... will say good bye to my civic fd soon... as RACV will tow it away and most likely will be written off due to hails and water damages :(

[nxn75u]

sad to hear that mate. water went into your engine?

[ekdez]

can you rip your fog lights out for me? lol

[erorxxx]

not the egine.. but water went in to the interior are..
soon might affect all the electric function and rusting problem in the future...

but for now there is no problem with the engine and electrical function apart from the hails and smells :P

[erorxxx]

hahaha with fog lights has water stuck in it LOL...

[curtis265]

That sucks!!

[ekdez]

hahaha with fog lights has water stuck in it LOL...

mend-able? cos i want oem ones but cbf to pay $400 lol

[JOhnnyFD]

QUESTION: how is our rear suspension held in?
like for coilovers you have the spring and the spring perch...
how is the spring perch held in up the top to stop it from falling out? is it glued in? bolted?
or does our shock hold the LCA parallel so that it cant fall out

[Stig]

i challenge you sir and RAISE you

http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4126/dsc0383copy.jpg

mines higher, i win

[Stig]

theres a rubber gromet thing that holes the spring into place with the chassis

[black8thgen]

damn looks hot on johnnys fd2r kit!!!

[ekdez]

damn.. sounds like the headers make a big noise difference!
jealous.

[black8thgen]

timmy doesnt have headers anymore - its cos he took his resonator out - its just a straight pipe =P

[curtis265]

@tim: that sounds beast! (too bad we don't go fast though :( )
@Danny: looks like you ended up getting them: see you tmr maybe?

@all - I'll raise you more :p

Also, does anyone know where i can get wide front fenders (like fd2r ones) which will fit our headlights and bumper..? anyone looked into this?

[black8thgen]

try some singapore sites for the fenders - aestmod might have em

[ekdez]

did anyone have issues with the J's C304 tip touching the rear stock bar ???
looks like the hangers on the muffler was made too short on mine but they all should be the same right?
anyway seems like no one else had issues... so any advise would be great...

btw my seems quite loud even with the silencer in... is it alot louder without it?

[ekdez]

i wonder how ej20i and johnnyfd did to avoid this issue???

[black8thgen]

johnny has fd2r kit his fits perfect lol. and i bet u in no time tim's kit is gna get melted LOL

[ej20i]

my kit is fine, i thought my kit was hanging way too low

johnny has fd2r kit his fits perfect lol. and i bet u in no time tim's kit is gna get melted LOL

at first the J's muffler was leaning to the left on my FD2R rear bumper, it wasnt touching the bumper but was really close to it.. since stock rear bumper has the muffler towards the left

so went to a exhaust muffler shop to get it fixed... if your muffler isnt in the right position to fit your rear bumper, go to a muffler exhaust shop that does good welding and fitting

[JOhnnyFD]

btw my seems quite loud even with the silencer in... is it alot louder without it?

even with the silencer its still kinda loud.. it sure is alot louder without it

[ekdez]

am i the only one who thinks its not loud at all? and wish's it was louder?

[amuson]

did u guys use the stock exhaust bushes?
im trying to think up some way of hanging it lower or else i'll be doing some cutting of the rear bar soon...
btw im using the fd2r cat back on the fd2....

the guys at the exhaust shop didnt want to cut the hangers, so tried to bend them a bit lower by heating them up.... but when i got home it was already melting my rear bar..

so did u get the hangers on the muffler cut off and redone to suit?

front strut bar is a waste of money, its just bling, if you take the plastic covering off just under the wiper you can see there's one already running there, rear strut bar would be more useful lol

[evolution]

Hi Guys, hoping to get some advise...

I've got Work Emotion CR Kai's on my FD that I just bought. According to the ex-owner specs are

17x7.5 +25 Front with 215/45/17
17x8.5 +33 Rear with 225/45/17

The offset on the front seems really low, but that is not the problem... problem is the rear. The car is on Tein springs and it scrubs when taking hard corners, large pot holes and with ppl in the back (usual causes).

I have already rolled the guards on the rear, but they still scrub.

I am thinking of getting camber kits + coils, even then will the scrubbing be fixed? Or should I just change rims? and what spec on a 17 would be ideal?

Thanks!

[curtis265]

I think you need a bit of camber. Screw getting new rims, so troublesome.

Can we have a fitment pic?

[dny]

man thats some fkn crazy specs! show us some pictures

[Stig]

the problem might be is you're scrubbing the rear bar (the area where the screws holds the rear bar into place), that's where i'm scrubbing essentially

solution:
1) camber kit + coils but no guarantee that will solve your problem depending on how low/high your ride height is
2) chuck a 215 on the rear and see how that goes
3) get new rims, ive ran x7.5+42 fronts with a 225 and 8.5+42 rear with a 235 without any problems

[dny]

lowered + rimmmin

Haven't taken any photos of the car, so I'll re-use what he posted. I believe you guys would have seen this FD before, I did read about the scrubbing issue he was having somewhere, but had no idea it would still scrub after rolling guards.

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss190/willcheam/Will5.jpg

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

This is current - The rims have been re-sprayed.
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee128/rb1odc/Civic/IMG_2319.jpg

@ Stig - Actually still scrubbing on the rear bar and the guard. Ride height would be maintained at the current height if changing to coils cos I've got to cross a freaking huge hump everyday and don't want to lower anymore than it already is.

[ej20i]

evolution, just change new rims yo!
those are crazy offset
for a daily just get a safer offset some where between +40 and +45 would be ideal

Danny that looks great!

[Stig]

for a daily, the specs on those rims are just too much, even my t1s is giving me such a headache daily, hence i run stock rims sometimes :)

[evolution]

I just pulled my fronts off - 17x7.5+30.

Thanks for the input guys.. Is there a reason why a Civic would need staggered rims rather than 4 rims that are the same specs? Is it because the rear of the car is wider?

If I'm getting new rims, I would prefer to get 4 of the same so that I can rotate them around.

[aero]

there's no need for staggered wheels on the fd. its a honda and fwd, so.. getting wider wheels on the rear doesnt improve much. just for looks

Just move the bolt on the rear bar that still scrubbing. I normally flip the tyres inside out for staggered rims like mine.

Don't dare to remove the bolt...., but your method of swaping the tires around is a great idea Dan!

[kawai]

hi, just another noob question :D what spec should i look for for hassle free rims, (please dont answer stock rims :D i already know that will fit). Mostly concerned about the offset atm cus looking at you guys getting all this issues. want something 17" or 18" but need to know what offset and 17or18/?? +?? value for both front and back. thx

[aero]

Something like 18x8 +45 or 18x7.5 +42 is fine without hassles. Safe specs

[Atjo]

All the issues can be fix. It's just the matter on how far you're willing to fix it.

[kawai]

im too tightass to fix it. just a sunday ricer :D all looks no go for me :D / no extra work will be good

thx for reply aero +1 rep :D

[jjeetthh]

Something like 18x8 +45 or 18x7.5 +42 is fine without hassles. Safe specs

how about for 17"? thanks..

[aero]

^^ same goes with 17s.
safe offset is around the +40s, provided that u dont go wider than 8" on the rim.
u can fit lower offset and wider rims on the car, but it will just cost u more money to run them with minimal scrubbing. low offset and stretched tyres looks tough tho :p

[dny]

i've got 18x8 +40 with 225/40 tyres and get minimal scrubbing only on the left side... it annoys the shits through me but thats only if you corner hard/tight bends

so just drive safe ;)

[ekdez]

Something like 18x8 +45 or 18x7.5 +42 is fine without hassles. Safe specs

sorry to say but,

18x8 +45 is going to be worse off then 18x7.5 +42.

Also running a 18x8 +45 your going to run into problems if your not at stock ride height. i know for a fact the stock perches on a fd will hit the tire if its not thin enough. yes i know half of us run coils but the people running the spring option which is lower then 1" will find it scrubs on the front.

The difference may seem small between those two specs given, 9mm inner clearance and 3 mm outer but 1 cm inner clearance might be easier to fix, but when you run spacers to fix that problem your going to run into other problems.

Most of people looking for the ideal fit arent going to run silly tire specs so and choose to have the standard fitment.. so

my suggestion is to run 17 or 18x7.5 or 8 +35~40 if u can find it. with a 215/40 profile. im sure others will back me up on this.

p.s. please don't take offense to this.. its just my opinion.

[black8thgen]

yeh dez is right - after doing lots of reading up on dez/stig's experiences...seems those r the safest fitments lol.

[ekdez]

just checked ems post!
rims have landed in sydney and in customs! only a matter of time yay!

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2775/4082249726_1e8098d932.jpg

[aero]

lol none taken man. uve been thru more sets than i. but ive ran 8" +45 on my car as a test from one of my friends wheels n had no probs on them. perhaps my coils allowed for more inner clearance? *shrugs*

a question on running stretched tyres. is it legal to have them if the load rating meets the requirements of the car? cant remember what our ones are 91Y or somthing?
lets say i have a 9" wide rim and i place some 215 wide tyres, but with a load rating of like 93. is that ok? or will cops still bust my balls?

[black8thgen]

are they meisters dez?? fk u baller !!!

and yeh load rating is 91 something, not sure how it changes according to the tyre specs... i remember someone before told us all about it.. mark from brisbane or smoething??

and holy shieeet stretched as tyres?????

[Stig]

they arent meisters ;)

although i would like kits bbs though...

do i need camber alignment if i changed the stock springs to tein stech??

[ekdez]

do i need camber alignment if i changed the stock springs to tein stech??

if you take your wheels off then they suggest you should align your wheels again.

if you touch the suspension in any way, then most definitely you'll need to align your wheels again.

[me_kevinly]

LOL so really ! another set of T1S for FD
ahahha
hey Dez!
next time while you are looking for wheels
can you see if you can source another set of t1s in 20" 112x5
i miss them too
LOL

[aero]

o.o u own a mercedes now, kevin? or is there another car brand using 5x112 also?

[me_kevinly]

nah, I drive an Audi now, they are 112 x 5 as well.

[kawai]

just another question will 97 prelude wheels fit in the civic fd1?

i think is
5X144 16X6.5 +55 i think this is the Tyre size 205/50 R16 87V tires

http://images.craigslist.org/3nf3kc3m15T15Pc5Rca3j4490e36731be1008.jpg

i have matched them up with the back wheel look about the same but the tire is about 1" ~ 1.5" wider but too lazy to take my wheels off to check cus only have 3atm in the garri lolz.

[rk 86 wa]

should be 5 x 114.

They should fit but the offset will be terrible (I know cause I use accord rims as dailys haha and they are +55 IIRC)

[9ineto5ive]

yo, guys this is out of topic randomly, but can anyone tell me what these hoses are for as i need to know asap. regards to intake arm for FD2

im assuming that 1 of them is a breather.
Also is it possible for these two hoses to be connected to 1 with a T-piece connector?

any one seen bbs wheels one a fd b4? and how does ppl feel? well this is an example of one on a GTR35.
