Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[markCivicVti]

Thanks guys. Yeah it has taken ages to come, but absolutely worth it. No rattles at all... a slight imperfection on the door trim... but i already fixed that. The dealership did not install my reverse parking sensors.. but the other options are up.. including the bassworks (gonna go test it out now), dash trim set (looks fantastic) and accent lighting... also very nice touch. I'll get a couple of pics of those options for others to look... particularly the trim set. Oh and the car is black... loving the colour.

Yeah first full day of ownership and I already have 200kms on the clock. Drove to the gold coast today from brissy.

I've had the money already saved up for the full mugen (replica) kit... but I think I'll have difficulty justifying the purchase. So I might put any mods off for now...

It's hard to justify spending money on cars (i.e plastic bits for cars) when you're married...

Tho... perhaps I'll still get around to it in the near future... we'll see :P

Same with what they buy. How do they justify spending money on dead animals and wear it on their arm?

[cracker]

hows the bass works?

[JaCe]

twas black...it felt good seeing another ozhonda member on the streets...it felt damn good!


lol did u see the ohsosexy ozhonda sticker?

[markCivicVti]

hows the bass works?

y0!

I think it's fantastic - sounds great without having to lose space in the boot. I don't really have anything to compare it to... but for me it sounds great.

Tho do keep in mind I've never done the subwoofer +amps thing in any car I've owned before... so I'm no expert in this.

The install is very clean and I have access to the amp in the boot -it's hanging from the 'ceiling' of the boot.

As we all know honda dealerships charge you crazy amounts for anything extra they add - so I just got them to chuck it in with the package.

[denot]

grats Mark!!! finally!!!

also JaCe, just notice you only put on the spoiler and no bodykits... still looks nice, and thats my plan for the time being as well :p



I got my FD Feb 23 06 first day out

Frost! thats my BDAY!!! :p

[JaCe]

^ it's because I'm cheap.

I'm seriously considering the Simota intake now since the Injen one is quite costly... hmm...

[Frost_FD]

Let us know how it goes, i just bought the injen one for 300 AUD

[cracker]

the blue holes looks like an octopus mouth :p

[markCivicVti]

My new mod is reverse parking sensors. Well... not exactly a mod because it was supposed to be fitted pre-delivery - BUT they ordered the wrong part. They ordered the jazz reverse parking instead of the civic.

Anywho... so i dropped off my car this morning and got given a lil jazz to drive around in. Slow as heck.

Was a lil worried that the round sensors on the back bumper would look ugly .. but they actually did a pretty good job and it looks alright in black.

Pitty the reverse parking system is audible only... i.e there's no little display showing how far you are in metres. (NOT that I'll need it... just want a wifey safe[r] car :) )

really? mine has it... it tells you how close you are to the closest thing you can hit on the back... sometimes its annoying if u reverse under the rain... it keep on beeping (as in it thought that rain drops is a wall or sumthing :confused:)

but the numbers are on the top of the graph thingy

[markCivicVti]

Where is it placed though? (Yours was dealer fitted right?)


EDIT: Well I just went downstairs to check and I'm sure my system is audible only..

I have the oem sensors too. Depending on the sound, it tells you how far you are from the object. E.g. If you hear a continous sound, it means you are about 15cm from the object. Then from 15cm to 45cm, it is a quick beep and so on. I dont remember the exact spec, but as soon as you hear a continuous sound, i would stop reversing. You can always run a test. But a cardboard box and get ur wife to back into it. Then as the sound changes, get a ruler and measure.

[Frost_FD]

Not bad at all =)

[Frost_FD]

Hey guys im going to install my start button this week, does our civics have a radio code?

[DropBear]

Nice work, the diy grill looks really good - forgive the noob question, but how'd you do it without a re-spray?

[Shimian]

what grille r u referring to?

[jckidz]

what grille r u referring to?

its RHK's grille. looks pretty good actually..

[xenfacta]

yea love the grill... did you take the honda badge off the rear?

when you debadge, did it leave holes in the boot or are they adhesive backed? how do u get the bastards off without wrecking the paint?

[markCivicVti]

The back H badge has two holes. The civic and trim badge are adhesive only. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm it up and it should come off fairly easily... just go slow.

I think the rear H looks ok... might just debadge the other two badges - but only when/if i get the mugen kit.

[denot]

Where is it placed though? (Yours was dealer fitted right?)


EDIT: Well I just went downstairs to check and I'm sure my system is audible only..

the display? it placed on my rear view mirror and the sensor (of course) on the bumper :p

[DropBear]

what grille r u referring to?


rhk's, he's blacked out the chrome OEM grille, leaving only the H badge in chrome. He's mentioned loltape, but I've got no idea what that's supposed to be :o

[rhk]

LOL sorry guys,

i took the grill out and primer and resprayed it black with a spray can, but the heat from the engine bay made the paint peel off :(

so i have just put electrical tape over the peeled patches lol!

i should have really sanded the grill down and then primer and painted with a heat retardant paint but ahh well, i can always re do it :)

as for debadging, ive left the H badge, just took off the other two

thanks for the comments guys!

[vinhy]

sorry for this silly question. but those of u with hid. wat bulb type wud i get.

btw rhk, is your "performance" part mod make any significant change in the performance itself (compare to our stock)

[rhk]

hmm the only real "performance" mod is the coilovers imo

the simota intake really only makes a deeper intake noise (lol)

breather pod is to prevent oil leaking into engine bay

oh and my wheel diametre is slightly smaller cause i got 40/r17 so physics should mean i get a slight increase in accel lol

[JaCe]

lol.. now we have a 2000 onwards board? *shrugs*

[Frost_FD]

Hi Guys, im looking for my next mod and im thinking about going front lip or exhaust. I dont know when the mugen lip is coming out but for an exhaust its hard to find a nice sounding one since honda's vocal isnt too flash

[denot]

but for an exhaust its hard to find a nice sounding one since honda's vocal isnt too flash

true... but I actually like the sports stock though... sounds like a sleeper... but might mod it later on in the future

[cracker]

Fd For Life!

[JaCe]

true... but I actually like the sports stock though... sounds like a sleeper... but might mod it later on in the future

rofl because it is asleep? jkjk. just struck me as funny that someone would say a stock civic sounds like a sleeper.

[denot]

rofl because it is asleep? jkjk. just struck me as funny that someone would say a stock civic sounds like a sleeper.

no seriously jace... a lot better than my preiouse stocky (2001 GLi) and other previous stock civics as well. They are all sound the same... but with this FD2, its a bit different... and when you hit 6000rpm it sounds a lot better (not just brooom brooom, but more like frooom froom - or sumthing like that :p)

[Jo_e]

^^ hahaha. "not just brooom brooom, but more like froom froom" i think we need a sound recording from you. preferably one u make urself. hahaha. kidding mate. =)

Any1 wanna buy me this bodykit? please??

i like... if only it had the go to match the show

[Frost_FD]

I gave my OEM wheels to my dad =)

[denot]

that bodykit doesnt even looks fit on the car :confused:

[Jo_e]

Its actually a bodykit for the subaru impreza and got adapted onto the civic. Maybe just dodgy quality kit? But its really cool to see so many more variety of kits availble than just the OEM lip and Mugen lip coz they're so common nowadays.

[denot]

have any1 try to ask about this to the JETSPEED people? I think they can create a custom one for our civic

I think part of it looks nice... but part of it looks a bit unnatural (over the top?). What does concern me is the white opaque visors. Even with my semi-translucent Mugen visors, visibility in the FD is greatly reduced especially at roundabouts and intersections with the road on the right being a curve (i.e. any car travelling along the road normally will always be in your blind spot as you approach)... I can only imagine what opaque visors would do.

[Frost_FD]

Hey guys i want to change my R18A SOHC into DOHC how do i go abouts doing that, im willing to pay 1k

[Phlirt]

dont think your gonna be able to do that for 1k. You will need to get a new engine

[JaCe]

Hey guys i want to change my R18A SOHC into DOHC how do i go abouts doing that, im willing to pay 1k

I'm no expert but whilst I have a basic understanding of differences between SOHC and DOHC, I was under the impression you can't just "modify" the engine per se that easily. Can anyone more technically minded pls elaborate?

(it's times like this where you should've just got the K20)

[markCivicVti]

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can't do it.

Anyway you won't achieve much going to a 1.8ltr DOHC vs SOHC. Plus our ECUs are setup for the SOHC ivtec along with the drive by wire system of these civics.... so would need a aftermarket ECU + tune I'd be guessing. The R series is new and I don't think alot has been done with them.

K20 transplant + ecu (from FD2 I suppose). So not worth the effort/money - will cost less to sell up and buy a FD2 - not that they are that impressive powerwise given they inhereted the somewhat-mighty K20.


If you want to go fast in a FD... and be unique... get a place to custom a turbo kit for you (plus tune $$)- I'm guessing 7-12k..


Even better bet would be to sell the FD and buy a older civic (EG/EK?) to do up... as you seem to want to go fast in something that just isn't capable of it atm.


19" chromies aren't going to help much.

Hahaha, K20 on FD2 is really not that "impressive" NOTE: read my sig plox :p

why older civic? buy a very cheap but realiable car, save up and buy a supercar :p

[markCivicVti]

Hahaha, K20 on FD2 is really not that "impressive" NOTE: read my sig plox :p


Sorry not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me. I should point out that its only my opinion and that I haven't driven a FD2... but the specs on paper don't look fantastic (compared to what the japs squeeze out of their K20s). But I'm sure its lovely to drive :)



why older civic? buy a very cheap but realiable car, save up and buy a supercar :p


I think he wants to go fast *now*...

[denot]

the thing is the FD2 gets K20Z not K20A... which A for the best performance K20 series and Z is the... u guess it :p

[markCivicVti]

Z is for ZZzzzzz [snore] ? :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

Any change of getting a K20a (made 2006+ for legality reasons) in australia?

[danny_mart]

just thought it would be intresting to let u guys know that the fd2 is actually slower then the fd1 from 0 - 100 because of its weight....cant find the article now but it was on drive when they did a test drive of all the vehicles such as focus and corolla and golf.

and also i got some new mods yay...haha
push start button thanks to DMX
8000k HID in fog and low beams thanks to APOLLIO

[Frost_FD]

Same i just installed my start button on the weekend, works fine now.

I see... theres no point going to DOHC. I want the K20 because you can mod it much more then the R18 and its cheaper to mod the k20 then the r18 aswell.

Oh wells no cam changes for me then

[dmx]

haha..lucky both of u, engine start button not available 'till Feb next year.

u sure? i heard 0-100km/h was 9.7 for manual, and low 10s for the auto; which is apparently faster than the R18.

that being said when i drove the FD2, it feels like it's more willing to accelerate, but then it doesn't feel much faster.

^ Did you have to cut through the plastic wall towards the end of the CAI (where the filter goes) to fit it through? (as per Injen instructions)


Now the wait is on... go driving through puddles and report back :)

I'm also curious how they are going to do log book servicing - will they just leave out the part where they replace the air filter and do the rest. Just curious of the warranty implications.

hey guys,

Hi Mark,

I have notice you kind of lose the sound when its raining probably cause the filter is wet. If i see some puddles i wouldnt drive through them especially since my car is lowered.

As for cutting a hole in the gaurd, i got around it =) i just wrapped the pipe with a cloth and slide it through the small opening. I have to take off my bumber today because it rattles sometimes against the gaurd.

[JaCe]

Isn't it bad to drive through puddles o_O? By puddles, I dont' mean small ones.. but when it's actually pouring down (as it does nowadays in Sydney).

And yes i need to buy the mugen badge for the rear wing.

Thanks to my friend steven for the shoots :wave:


Awesome shots and the price sounds good! Interior lighting is very bright compared to my Honda OEM one!

[FallenAngel]

can you put up a bigger pic of ur avatar? Im thinking of getting the rear mugen skirt. Just need a closer look at it. Hopefulyl they will sell the parts individually

thanks heaps

Its actually the 2nd pic that i've posted up. Thats the one i used for my DP.

My interior lights are aftermarket from Repco. Got them for my birthday from a friend. Considering the length of the actual tube is 30cm, i'd say it's pretty bright lol.

[cracker]

are there any decent performance upgrades we can do 4 FD1's cuz all i seem to be doing is ricing the car up, well its all i can do anyway im red p plater :(

[FallenAngel]

Not atm. There's nothing out right now, although i've heard that parts will be released in late January. Can anyone confirm this?

[xenfacta]

theres some turbo and exhaust kits running around in the us

[markCivicVti]

I want a Supercharger..... parasitic loss at low end with mediocre gain somewhere.... hopefully.

[Frost_FD]

Injen CAI is a gain guys!

[dmx]

This picture is from the other thread i think the bare engine is the face of honda

yeah. the ones in the display pic is from the net. The one on the thread is a photo i took after busting open the box :p

[Bob san]

nice. post up pics when u have them installed.

[SaBReT00tH]

Hey shimian, did u get those from ebay? Are they a retrofitted HID set of angel eyes? If so, do they come with bulbs or did you have to buy them extra?

[Shimian]

No i did not get them from ebay. They are a full replacement of the stock headlamps. I havent installed it yet but i can see that there are some halogen bulbs installed inside. But i will be changing them to HIDs.

[JaCe]

LOL i'm in Malaysia atm and I've seen a few sets of Angel Eyes now. They're the new 'in' thing since HIDs are so last last year (can buy sets for RM200 or less.. i.e. $65aud).

The Civics here... a lot of Mugen (and Mugen replica) Civics. The back of the Civic here is much more crowded than ours with "1.8L iVTEC" or some crap like that. Not many 1.8s; most are 2.0L. A lot of people here have visors (not just on Civics). Lots of stickered up cars (e.g. Hyundai Getz, and the usual culprits of Lancers with Evolook bodykits) full of gauges and Brembo brakes with rims.

Saw a nice DC5R. Still looking for CTR since they sell the JDM FD2R here for RM200k.

But those angel eyes are $hit. They make ur car look cheap. And it will still make your car illegal cos it still uses reflectors if HIDs are installed. Mine are full lamp replacements with projectors + CCFL rings (angel eyes). rab yourself a pair in Malay if your interested. But then youll need to get new HIDs as the ones you bought will not fit

[Frost_FD]

Hi Shimian,

those eagle eyes are nice....... i want one!! please let me know how much and where

anyway, when u plan to install them?

Using HID in a projector unit still doesn't make it legal either.

atleast i wont blind people.

Installing them next year. Still havent bought my HIDs yet


Hi Shimian,

I got them from a wholesaler. Not sure if im gonna do a group buy. See how the install goes and i might order them as people want them

Hi y'all:wave:

This is just a brief run-down on what i'm gonna be doing to my new Honda Civic VTI 07 ~
+ Decided to go wif new 18" black racing rims with chrome lip
+ bridgestone potenza or kumho tyres
+ front grills
+ n mayb 6000k front lightbulbs so far

... was abt to put subs and amps in but cant be bothered coz of my inbuilt cd player which is too much of a hassle.

Peace ~
P.S. this is my second post YAYY!!:cool: hehe

If I had the VTi, I'd get the double din HU fascia and put my own head unit in. Alternatively, it's not too hard to just use Alpine line out converters to hook it up to an amp/sub- that's how I'm connecting my setup.

[JP.87]

hehe... ye, danny_mart sent me a msg in regards of selling his Geniune Honda Double Din Dash w/ Brackets but i'll see... looks interesting

[cracker]

yeah man i got a sub n amp in my one without a headunit and it apparantly isnt sounding to its full potential but still its pretty nice!

[JP.87]

i know cracker.... i wanna change da headunit coz the factory inbuilt cd-player can't handle to power for the subs and amps.... so tats why it isnt working to the full potential... and also coz i dont wanna waste too much money on a shietty sound system... so it all depends on da headunit and dashunit

I don't think it really matters unless you're a serious audiophile or building a competition setup. If you were really concerned you could go the RF 360 method.

[denot]

guys just a quick check for those ppl who has installed amp + sub, does the car "rattles" a lot when you turn up the volume (e.g. up to '15')?

[xenfacta]

the only bit of rattle i've noticed is the boot lid (which is normal on just about every car)

[dmarc]

i get rattles on my door trim, is that normal? it only happens when i turn the volume up to more than 12 and it only started to get noticeable when i got my amp and sub installed

[Shimian]

I don't think it really matters unless you're a serious audiophile or building a competition setup. If you were really concerned you could go the RF 360 method.

its nice to change the HU cos stock i think just looks crap. Im not an audiophile but would like to have a nice HU (something like the Alpine W202) with a decent setup

[JP.87]

RF360 method??
can some1 enlighten me?

[ryanc]

yep i get that too!!! sooo annoying i guess it's normal...

Do you think theres a way to get rid of this rattles? e.g. install a sound deadening or sumthing?

[dmarc]

i was thinking of doing that but didn't wanna spend a few hundred on dynamat that might not work.

also, does anyone know how much it is to replace the dash? i wanna change the HU and ive only seen the dash replacements for american civics, which obviously won't fit onto our fds

[Shimian]

You can buy the dash kit in Singapore at KAH Motors. DMX was selling these kits but sold out. Dunno if hes getting anymore. I bought my replacement dash for about $170

[IEVAQ8]

if anyone is interested in some 07 AUS CTR wheels (18's) i got some check thread below.

[Mingy]

HAS somebody actually modified their exhaust system or even installed an aftermarket cannon to their FD's anyone? every fd that i've seen on the street either stock looking or done up, noones managed to have one.

anyone???? please tell me how it sounds like? cheers

[Jr]

I have custom headers and j's racing exhaust & F5 intake on. Sounds like titanium rasp and quite a loud exhaust and intake is also very loud.

[JaCe]

A few ppl on the forum have the Mugen exhaust I think.

Anyway, the stock HU is fantastic imo (in VTi-L/Sport). Hard to justify why spend more money when it's already got all the right features (incl steering wheel controls) and an easy to use system.

As a short update... in my past few days here in M'sia/Singapore, seen alot of Civics with Mugen kit replicas. A few originals here and there. Then there's also a few white FD2Rs around the place. Quite nice... but it's more expensive than an Evo9 or WRX STi! Hard to justify the price IMO.

[danny_mart]

hey jace is some one using your car while you are over seas....pretty sure i saw it in the hornsby library car park yesterday or one which is pretty much the same as yours...

i had a muffler on my car sounds pretty average...then i had a j's racing exhaust system on it sound still pretty average and from both i found that neither really gave it much performance upgrade...the j's racing catback system made a slight difference to accleration but wasnt worth the original money i paid for the system...

As for the stock HU i found the sport one very good and also ran my old system pretty good never had any problems with it but hey i still have tha double din for sale
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i308/danny_mart/PC280112.jpg

my car now is pretty much stock due to selling it if anyone was wondering why i no longer have any parts on my car...

Features are there but compared to a double din touchscreen unit (e.g. Alpine W202), it will shit on the stock HU. Some of the touchscreens utilizes the existing steering controls. If I had the money to do a full sound system setup, i would definitely get a touchscreen. I already have the double din dash, but its just sitting on my shelf atm :(. Im no audiofreak. But i would like to have a touchscreen, 2 amps, 1 sub, components and rear setup. Just a basic setup but most importantly a nice looking HU.

[Frost_FD]

Hey guys, I am planning to get a front under spoiler but honda quoted me 550 painted do you guys think it is a good deal or a mugen one would be better?

Please let me know if you guys have bought one for your civics

[Shimian]

I regret getting the modulo kit. I would have prefer to spend the money on mugen even thou its more expensive. I guess i dont mind the look of having modulo for body and mugen for wing and grille.

[Frost_FD]

is the modulo kit the one the sports comes standard with?

[Jr]

is the modulo kit the one the sports comes standard with?

Sport dosnt come with any kit. Every FD civic can have the modulo kit on. ;)

[Shimian]

Has anyone with an FD (especially FD2) removed the resonator and using the stock airbox with the downpipe?
Very tempted to remove it but i dont want any loss of performance, or cause any abnormal circumstances etc.

Please PM or reply and let me know the results.

Here's a link to one

[Shimian]

Thanks. Ive seen that thread. I prefer not to permanently cut anything off. Just want to know if any FD bros out there who has done this. Just want to know the result whether its worth doing. I have mentioned this in the noob section before but answers were from non FD owners.

[Frost_FD]

Oh yah honda sell them.. maybe if u shop around you can the best price.

Yes will do, if its not a good enough price meaning alot cheaper then the mugen one i will probably just buy the mugen.

[Shimian]

Modulo is cheaper than Mugen. You could get the modulo set (front, side, rear, spoiler) for about $2000-$2500 from Honda. Mugen you will need to order from importer and itll be around $3500-$4000 both painted. Mugen has an extra piece of bodykit which is the front grille.
A replica kit will cost around $1200 and about $500 to paint. But i dont know anyone who sells replicas in Aus.
I would go for the mugen look if you have the money. At the time when i bought my car, i didnt think of the mugen kit. Just got too excited with the car and bought the modulo kit.

[FallenAngel]

Yea i have the Mugen Replica Kit. I got it from a private importer in syd.

hey fellas,
is there a way to somehow securely attach the Red Honda type R badge to the Honda Mugen Grill? I understand the red type R badge fits properly on the original factory grill cause of the holes but would 3M tape be the only way on the new grill? Most modified Honda Civic 8th gen cars I've seen with the Mugen grill seem to have no emblems or labels on at all, which to me looks completely ridiculous! Especially if you've just purchased the pricey Red badges and can't find a place to stick the front one.

[Shimian]

i dont have the link, but theres some guy on ebay that sells the grille badge holder. It basically looks like a flat piece of metal with 2 screws on the bank. You screw that onto the grille then stick any badge onto the flat piece of metal. From memory it costs around $20 fully shipped. I was thinking of getting one for a mugen badge but i think some moron will come and rip it off and possibly damage your mesh grille as well

[denot]

or maybe try to stick in on the front bumper or the edge of hood? :p

mugen grille without emblem coz it's replica, but if u get good and fine replica, it also comes with the emblem, i sold mine comes with mugen emblem.
it's depend where u get it.

if u want put red badge onto mugen grille, the only way is put the strong silicon glue behind red badge, and force to stick onto mugen mesh grill (do it properly and tidy). during drying, put sticky tape across red badge to mesh/mugen grill. hope it's work.;)

^ for the USDM civics... not exaclty gonna play nice with our more JDM shaped AUSDM civics. Their chasis code is different to our FDs. They have FGs or something like that.

[dmx]

just wait another 6 months, MUGEN RR replica will available on the market (type-r replica just release in overseas)

hey DMX do you have more info on these new MUGEN RR replica kits for the JDM model? (as that other link is for the USDM models).

The kit looks pretty low! I love the look of the back though, very sporty, and the waves on the side skirts are big. Are the fenders an extra addition to the body kit? Front looks like it has room for a Nice BIG silver grille also :D

:Di said MAY BE next 6months replica will come out. not now ;)but pls notice, i think, if come out, i won't as simple as mugen kit (add on), i think, it would be same like type-r body kit (replica), full bumper replacement.
front bloody nice, rear looks hot (plus dual hole space for exhaust). will consider to get them too if available:D

do you guys think a place like JETSPEED can create a custom kits that is 99% looks like the Mugen RR kits?
why not. but if just for one, it would be pricy due to making the templates.

just get a quote for mugen body kit (the copy one) they quoted me $2600 include fitting and painting.. i get front,side,rear and grille (no spoiler)
is it a good price? what u guys think?

[markCivicVti]

I've seen better. 2.5k for lip kit + spoiler + grille + paint + fit. Even that sounds expensive to me for a replica mugen kit.

Add 200 bucks and they install and supply fog lights.

hey guys, since your looking for a mugen replica kit, i remember emailing some place called "euroline" located in blackburn a WHILE back which is selling the mugen replica kit. they quoted me 2k for the front and rear lip and side skirt and another 500 for the wing and front grill painted and fitted. not too sure if they have anything in stock atm but might as well give them a call or email.

[FallenAngel]

Sorry guys who pm'ed me but i just called the guy that i got my kit from and he said he's not importing anything for awhile. He said he'd be on holidays and when he gets back he'll give me a ring. So until then nothing from me sorry!

[erorxxx]

[warwick108]

can someone confirm thats its the mugen bodykit? replica that is.

[xqwzit]

it is mugen except the grille looks like the jazz grille

[FallenAngel]

Yes it is the Mugen, although the wing looks really dodgy. It seems to be made of ABS. IMO i wouldn't use a ABS wing, i'd rather Fibreglass.

And yes its replica for that price

[erorxxx]

wow damn the price very cheap though , but not sure how much it will cost for painting and fitting??

i got stupid quesion actually.. normally for body kit do we paint it first and install it or the other way around... ? ;p see stupid question but i don't know the answer which way is better and saver

[markCivicVti]

They will need to remove it to paint it if its on the car. So best not to install until you can afford to paint it.

Also expect to pay 500-800 to have it all painted.

[BC8]

this is probably the wrong thread to post but what are the parkers globe size/specs for the FD1? and also for low and high beams

planning to grab a pair of mtec's

[Shimian]

it will be in manual

low = hb4
high = hb3
parkers = 12W 5V from memory

Agree with MarkCivicVTI. Paint before installing. Remember to get the painter to do the eye matching technique to mix paint rather than just give them the code. It will not match the colour of your car. By doing the eye matching method, you will get it to 99% accurate. So basically, get them to mix the paint using code, then hold the paint against the car. Add whatever ingredients to match it as close as possible.

[FallenAngel]

Yea 500-800 sounds about right. Got mine painted + fitting for 600

I'm pretty happy with my Mugen factory-painted wing. Although a perfectionist might find it to be a little bit off from the original black, I can't see any discernible difference.

As for mods; I'm about to install a new horn, iPod adaptor, and Typhoon intake.

Hello,, i just talked to my guy..and hes asked me how many mugen kits do I need?.. so can I get a count? he lives in sydney? do we have a driver? how many kits can you fit?
thanks

[warwick108]

o0ohH..and if I remembered right.. its around 1200.. but if we bulk.. it would be cheaper without a doubt.. =)

[ryanc]

whats included with the kit?
is it just side skirt, front lip rear skirt?

or include wing as well?

also is it painted for 1200?

[warwick108]

its the side skirts.. front and rear... and wing.. and its not painted.. for 1250... he goes we can go pick it up next week if we wanted to.. =)

Possible to get without the wing?

[warwick108]

'yeh.. I asked him the same question..and he goes its gonna be 1100 without the wing.. =).. do we have a driver?

Sorry but I think 1100 is a bit pricey for a replica Mugen kit, unpainted and with no wing. There are a few places in Sydney which I've seen offer them for approx 800aud. Don't ask for places because the shop which first comes to mind has since closed down (it was in Hornsby).

Was It Motoeqeuip!?

[SaBReT00tH]

hahaha Warwick, are u going to be installing a musical horn? *GRIN* :)

[Jo_e]

Was It Motoeqeuip!?

Yeh it was. lol

[match]

Is it easy to install? if yes then would it possible to install it ourselves after we get it painted?

[SaBReT00tH]

Anyone know if this grill is available and would fit into the mugen kit? It has a badge holder!!!

As shate as it looks, I don't think so. Maybe a replica will become available in the future but from those photos it looks like you'll need to replace the whole bumper (which looks alrights).

wat is the paint code for the night hawk black?

[bryan yuen]

NH black...code is b92p

[warwick108]

I think quite alot of us are abit confused.. the site people are referring the kit to is the ebay site I showed yous a few days ago..
the one for sale for 1250 dollar is a different one.. I have a few pics of the kit.. but I dunno how to upload the pics.. any ideas?

[SaBReT00tH]

hey with HID retrofitting when replacing the entire housing, do people use sillicone to seal the housing into the front of the car? Or does it just sit in there with clips? If the latter, would water get around the housing and into the engine, even if the actual housing is sealed?

www.imageshack.us is my recommendation.

[ryanc]

hmm 1250 for the whole thing unpainted seems quite expensive
im guessing to paint all of it including wing maybe cost about 500?
installation... i have no clue how to do this myself... how much would it cost to get someone to install for us???

if u could get it for like 1050 and we had like 7-8 ppl u think he would consider? lol

[erorxxx]

i am in melbourne.. fitting and painting cost around $800.. anyway, i bought my mugen kit for $1020 .. i get front lip , rear, side,spoiler and fog lights (i get spoiler for bonus coz they wrongly advertise the ad for some reason) l will get it this friday or tuesday the latest

[BC8]

from memory yes. Just check the manual. If it has the same spec, then its the same. Im currently using MTEC whites for front and back. The white looks HOT on the rear.

your front parker is t10, your side indicator is t10, your back number plate is t10, your reverse light can also use t10... but you need more LED bulb

I got them all replaced with LED in mine

[JaCe]

[applio]

cool, i didn't know all those could be replaced with the T10.

Those blue one's on the side look very nice but the blue LED on the rear looks very rice ! haha

as for the LED bulb and the glass bulb, how much brighter is it would you say? a huge difference in light output?

I'll prob installed a LED on the front for better visibility and a artic blue on the rear's for the sexy look
