ekdez has those wheels on his fd atm lol

[kawai]

>.< any pictures posted stig? im a bit slow :D

ekdez do you have a picture of your civic when your wheels are on? (the ones above)

[ekdez]

my car with silver bbs lm, black center caps

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

sorry for bad pictures.

[kawai]

how much did it ended up costing for the gold ones? and what are the spec, did you have to do any alterations or did they come with hassle free spec which you mentioned about earlier ?

[ekdez]

The wheels i go for aren't exactly the "hassle free ones", new rims are Fx8.5 +25 and Rx9.5 +30 :|

Both sets of LM's you see above the gold and the silver ones, were both 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +35.
The gold set cost me $3200, and the Silver set cost me a little more.

On the gold ones i ran 225/40r18 tire. And this scrubbed MAJORLY on the rear and front without any body work. By body work i just mean rolling the rears and a tiny bit of pulling and also cutting some of your front guards out of the way and pushing the prong things upwards.

In the end, i sold them cos i cbf hearing the screeeeppp every time i went over a pot hole.

Silly me missing the LM's, i ended up buying the same specs in silver which i still run to this day.. but instead of running the 225/40 i got a tire change to a 215/40r18. and no scrubbing. :thumbsup:

i actually had my LM's up for sale not long ago, but i decided to keep them for the track =].. If you want a nice fitment, i'd choose kitbkk's LM's his are 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5+35 and in the silver too.. all the other ones you see on this forum have shit offsets and have gutter rash here and there.. i mean whats the point in buying new rims which look used ;)

[ekdez]

p.s. if you like the look of the LM"s

just remember there are other alternatives like the SSR LM9, Work VS-XX, HRE 790-R, iFOrged Challenge or Neo or Triumph, a few Beyerns, etc..

[kawai]

hey ekdez, Ive been looking at the wheels with the deep dish, do i still look for the same offset or they are completely different?

[ej20i]

yea they will
i use to ride on em
and i got a set that im trying to get rid

[ekdez]

hey ekdez, Ive been looking at the wheels with the deep dish, do i still look for the same offset or they are completely different?

you wont get "deep dish" on a civic fd.
its just a fact of life. Honda's weren't made for "deep dish", if you wanted that grab a nissan or a lexus etc..
having said that they can get very close.. but just remember some body work will be needed.
wait till i get my new rims and ill show you.

i know there is a guy on this forum, threesix, and his rims have a credit card length of dish on the rear and a bit more then half on the front =]

curious to know how much stig or ivan have tho..

[Fung]

ehh~ i was trying to find this post, never knew its a sticky now =]
ekdez, your dp stole all my attention from the FDs =P

[black8thgen]

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
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7983/oemintakearm.jpg
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?

both breathers - pretty sure both of them need to be connected separately like it is there - try not to mess around with any intake stuff or engine light will haunt u as lots of ppl hav experienced.

[black8thgen]

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.
they fit, but JUST. lol - i used tims as spare tyres for a week... but its perfectly fineeee haha. buy tims ones =P - theyre at my house atm tho lol

[ekdez]

ekdez, your dp stole all my attention from the FDs =P

shes a stunna hey

[black8thgen]

[black8thgen]

You can, it's just depends on the design of the rims like Ivan's Estatus D2 and how much camber you want to have. My camber was -6.5 when i set my camber kit to the max in order to avoid scrubbing on my RB1 and my rear wheel is 20x9.5 +15 with 10cm dish. Or flare the guard if you don't want to have camber wear. So anything could be done.

[black8thgen]

got simoto CB2 - the new carbon charger hehe and connecting cold air feed, hopefully get some response out of it

[xqwzit]

^did you consider injen sri ?

[9ineto5ive]

got simoto CB2 - the new carbon charger hehe and connecting cold air feed, hopefully get some response out of it

thats what i got, the Simota Carbon Charger 2 and now its installed with a duct to the front for cold air. the intake gives a better throttle response, mayb a little power gain and is noisy when full throttle. but other then that not a bad intake

[black8thgen]

^did you consider injen sri ?

Don't want an Sri lol. And Thats good to hear 9tofive Btw did u have any issues with engine light when u installed it?? U got it from shift ey??

[9ineto5ive]

nah no engine light, it was just plug and play all the way. lol yea i got it from shift

[black8thgen]

Ah nice. Me too lol. Hey can u take a close up engine bay pic of the intake for me pls? Thx!!!

[9ineto5ive]

hey, heres some pic of the intake
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/500/img0151ok.jpg
and here's the cold air duct
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/6126/img0152i.jpg
i haven't actually fitted the cold air duct properly as it is connected to the OEM resonator. i have to find a spot at the front bumper somewhere to put the duct but i have foggies which i dont wanna get rid of.

[black8thgen]

I'm puttig it to foggies anyway. Should be ok still. Btw where's ur mini blue filter thing???or didn't use it?

yeah i already know and understand that.. but the rims he put up. the 20" LM's on the GTR.. LM's are race wheels and are flat faced and to achieve any sort of "dish" with LM's you'd have to go rather wide. and low offset.

which is why i said look at the LM9's or the VS-XX

But with VIP styled wheels its not that hard to achieve a decent dish. different kettle of fish all together =]

[ekdez]

^did you consider injen sri ?

injen make sri?

[9ineto5ive]

I'm puttig it to foggies anyway. Should be ok still. Btw where's ur mini blue filter thing???or didn't use it?

the breather u referring to? nah i dont use that which i heard it aint good for the engine, just connect the 2 hose (the breather and i fink the other one is a vacccum hose) to one and connect that to the intake arm and your good to go

[black8thgen]

Why is it bad?? I'll just follow ur setup lol. Also could u take one more pic? On the left under side of the intake, when ur facing inside the engine bay. Would be great thanks mate!!!

[Sherweeeny]

yes for FD2, unsure for FD1.
a member on this forum got it on his FD2, and it works as well without CEL.

as for the injen cai, needs rbc for it

[black8thgen]

i saw you today mate, car looks really nice!

oh reallyy where at?? did u wave???

[Sherweeeny]

oh reallyy where at?? did u wave???

well i wasnt too sure it would be you, but i came on later and checked and was like yep defs was you!
nah no wave, it was on epping/beecroft road, i was in my civic, tired as shlt and not in the mood for all the bloody traffic

[black8thgen]

LOL. yeh fuken tell me about it.. and the heat doesnt help at all..... and my gf fighting with me on the phone... man... thats bad LOL

[longers]

would they suit the VIP style you're aiming for?
you should convince sitggy to get brides too. Even if it is VIP. You need support for the daily boat ride.

[ej20i]

WOW!

well maybe it will encourage me to stay jdm haha

and im sure he will be tempted once he see's my brides in =]

are you the one he has the bet with?

i could always mix and match mirrors with my wheels haha

i mean my J's exhaust is far from VIP! lol

Why are the rear wheels on +ve camber???

[longers]

are you the one he has the bet with?


nah thats not me. i can't punish myself like that lol

[FallenAngel]

Why are the rear wheels on +ve camber???

i doubt it would be postive camber..

More than likely its just the camera angle

[ekdez]

nah thats not me. i can't punish myself like that lol

lol its so true haha
i reckon stig would have done something drastic by now..

[black8thgen]

just think of it on the bright side... no modding = LOTS OF MONEY SAVED UP. provided there is no substitute for modding lol. then he can go buy a new car =P

[Stig]

no modding = still no money

cos im just spending it elsewhere lol

[black8thgen]

Hahah. Feel so sorry for u

[curtis265]

****it, it's not worth investing into a moneypit anyway. Just gonna hurt yourself in the long run when you could be saving for an appreciating asset.

now time for stretch tires! lulz

[Atjo]

Is that low disk or high disk?

[black8thgen]

[Stig]

225 35 19 Falken 452 on the 9"

my friends ones. 20x9.5 +35 in wbc finish to go on the is250

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3788/img0275z.jpg
That dish should be around 80mm as mine is 99/100mm for +15.

[threesix]

Just measured my dish for something to do. 80mm at the back. About 50mm at the front.

[Atjo]

So the IS250 is yours? My front dish is 65mm.

[ekdez]

p.s. my t1s 8.5 +25 F has 80mm dish and x9.5 +30 R is 90mm

[ej20i]

o shiet eh
airbag popped out yo

[black8thgen]

LOL WTF?!??!!? which one =/.. and how T_T

[ej20i]

nah i mean the lex!
LOL!

[ekdez]

mm i wonder what nuts to get for the varienza.. i already got red and black work nuts.. maybe a set of those kicks ones..

[black8thgen]

oh right tim.. LOL.

yeah dez get the kicks, theyre hottt.. titanium =] - i wish i had aftermarket wheels now.. cant have pretty nuts on my rims =[

[ekdez]

brides this friday, excited!

[black8thgen]

yummyyy. sometimes i regret getting a sport =[. damn u tim why didnt i meet u earlier LOL.

[Stig]

ill get brides if you can figure out a way to bypass the passenger air bag light dez :) i gave up

only solution i had was to rip the airbag from the stock seat and just let it hang from the connections LOL

[ej20i]

and if acco is to happen,
u have
" ejecto seato cuz!"

[ekdez]

ill get brides if you can figure out a way to bypass the passenger air bag light dez :) i gave up

only solution i had was to rip the airbag from the stock seat and just let it hang from the connections LOL

sigh :| you saying im gonna have problems? LOL

if there is a will there is a way!

[Stig]

if you dont mind running with the air bag light on all the time then you wouldnt have any problems... unless you get into an accident and i think the air bags dont deploy lol

didnt want to risk it, hence bye bye fd2r seats

[ekdez]

might have to take that bulb out hehe

we will see.. maybe i can source a air bag and put it under the seat LOL

p.s. i didnt even know the vti-L had side air bags...

[Stig]

well if you are just running a driver side bride, and oem passenger seat, there is a way to bypass it :)

[ekdez]

i got driver and passenger.. haha

i dislike the only one bucket look. makes the car look pov and like i couldnt afford the second seat haha :P yes im vain.

can u tell me about this bypass thing =]

[Stig]

chuck a resistor into the airbag connection for drivers side (only works if the oem passenger seat is in place), think it was a 5ohm 5watt resistor but i forgot

[insanelin]

I also wanted to buy sports seats but the airbags have been a pain..however i read on the singapore civic forum that you might be able to buy a sensor diffuser so that the airbag light will not light up


I m not sure how to install the diffuser and hence i gaf up the idea..

[ekdez]

SO even i lose the stock seats with side airbag's, would the steering airbag/passenger side airbag deploy if the driver and passenger sensor is missing?

[Stig]

no lol, hence the airbag light is on

[Stig]

if you replace the drivers seat, and use a resistor in place of the drivers side airbag connector, when you crash, the front steering wheel, passengers front and passenger side air bag will deploy which is super

if you replace the drivers seat and the passenger seat, that resistor trick does not work since there is another extra cable for the passenger seat which no one has figured out. and if you crash, no airbags will deploy.

[longers]

go ask honda for a passenger seat sensor. buy it and just place it under the seat. technically it should work

[ekdez]

ill make it work.

[Stig]

might set you back an arm and leg though

[longers]

stig thought i told you that that second cable was the sensor? unless you can find the specs of the sensor then find a resistor to match the power voltage

[Stig]

yeah cbfd, dont do electrical engineering, no one in the states were able to figure it out as well

[aero]

so. yeah.. pretty bored atm.. procrastinating instead of doing uni assignments. decided to do a simple chop of my car. mind u this is the 1st time ive tried to photoshop something.

anyway, here's the original pic of my car with my old set of wheels:

http://i43.tinypic.com/1zziakp.jpg

and here is the chop:

http://i41.tinypic.com/242x4bc.jpg

lol.. i like it :p. never got the chance to take any photos of my car with my old 19's on my coilovers, so i thought i'd try n chop it to see how it would have looked.

[black8thgen]

Ballin' =P.

[threesix]

looks sick! those wheels kinda look like the M3 rims.

[ekdez]

air runners baby

[curtis265]

Good job on the chop.

[9ineto5ive]

hey, anyone taken there front bumper bar off? i just need to know how many clips and screws and also where they located? also i have a mugen kit on do i have to remove that too?

cheers

[black8thgen]

no need to remove mugen kit, clips n screws underneath the car at the front (plastic ones) - big bitch to remove.

then theres two screws, one under each front wheel fender. and gotta undo clips in the engine bay (the grille and the side thingys lol)

[Stig]

mmm...

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=133724&highlight=resistor+aftermarket+seats

tried that already, srs reset works... but you gotta do that everytime you start up your car and it got annoying if you want both seats in the car

also it says that you need the passenger side seat for it to work :)

[black8thgen]

lol unlucky dez.... what a bitch to change seats =.=...

[ekdez]

so do we have air bags in our seats? or in the pillars?

because if its just the sensor then.. arent air bags a failsafe anyhow..
so if you get hit on one side that whole side's air bags will pop no matter what...

remembering air bags can only do so much.. :P

[Stig]

airbags are in the seat

[ekdez]

i swear there has to be a way!!!

[Stig]

there is, buy a vti LOL

[ekdez]

nah fk that LOL.

mm well if i take the seats out then.. the side air bags will be disabled.. but the fronts should deploy on impact, correct?

[black8thgen]

Apparantly it disarms the whole air bag system.

[ekdez]

but air bags are meant to deploy on impact no matter what..

the sensors are just there to enable the computer to control the air bags, to deploy certain ones to save repair costs.. if u get me..

[Stig]

yeaa but no lol, black8thgen is on the ball here

some usdm 8th gen say the do, some say they dont, but leaning towards the dont, only way to find out is to test it :p

[ej20i]

LOL!
dez, why dont u test trial first?
LOL!
i reckon its best to stay on the safe side den sorry later. plus, dont u need to get it engineered?
u wont pass it thats for sure!
Bride is hot in the car though, but is it worth it?

[longers]

yes. yes it is

[FallenAngel]

hey guys what do you thunk about the jdm concept carbon fin spoiler rice or what?.. i mean its just double sided 3m tape yeh stuck on if you dont like it u can just rip it off yeh?

its not only double sided 3m tape.. there are also bolts into the boot lid. There's no way only tape is going to hold an something subjected to downforce. It'll rip right off

If i'm quite honest with you, i really like the bronze, gold or black wheels on the white car.

White's too common, and any difference in white between the wheel and paint sticks out like a sore thumb, like in the picture i posted at the top of this post

[howy]

awesome! thanks for the pics curtis! :)

tempted to powdercoat them to a glossy black...

but white on white looks good too, if you can match the whites.

decisions decisions :/

[black8thgen]

Get white howy!!!! White on white Is ****en hawttttttt. Nice to see u got ep3 rims =]

[curtis265]

Like i said, white seems 'done before' and a bit played out. I still rkn (in this order) bronze, gold, black

black's last cos i usually dislike black rims...

[ekdez]

i like that blue ones :P

and yeah ill trial fit and show you later on.

[SUS2K]

the white on white looks the best, then bronze. But i'll go for white =)

[FDBenni]

Yeh the championship white EP3 wheels have a shade of yellow compared to the taffata white on the body but in my opinion still the best colour for it. You could always spray them to match the taffata white. I've seem them in black in real life and I rkn they arn't that great.

[ej20i]

id go white TBH
White on white is hot!
as ive done it on my Jazz

[curtis265]

fuk all u white supremacists :P

[Stig]

i agree, its been overplayed so much, white on white that is LOL

[amurray]

My lord any reason there so cheap?

[ekdez]

wow!!! those are as much as spoon mirrors LOL!!!
i wonder which to get first LOL
**** i need to join your no mod thing :(

[Stig]

+ shipping and the conversion from USD to AUS dollar?

[amurray]

still... what are they normly worth?

[curtis265]

man, that's really awesome

Don't look as cool as brembos, but who cares.

Doesn't look like they ship to Aus regularly - probably going to cost you $100 or so ?

[Atjo]

Buy wilwood BBK from http://www.fastbrakes.com/. Their price is reasonable and the shipping also cheap if you buy without the rotors.

^can we use the stock rotors with their caliper?

[ekdez]

ok so i got my first rattle's..

its in the back left of the car.. i think its from the car [FLEXIN] lol .. anyhow its like sticky tape or something holding my rear parcel shelf down has detached if that makes sense..

it sounds like something is loose or warped .. and when i press down on the speaker cover it makes like that noise where 3M tape doesnt stick properly.. and it makes that eeeep eeep sound.. sorry i cant find a youtube..

anyone got the same problem? and ways to fix =]

thanks in advance!



ALSO, stig you wont do it! ;) :P

[amurray]

i have the same rattle cant relly find it im taking parts off 1 at a time to see fi i can find it lol

[Stig]

dont have that problem, maybe cos i sound deadened my whole rear parcel shelf lol

[ekdez]

press down on your speaker cover.. does it make a sticky tape noise?

yeah pop your boot and press down on the glass just over the speaker where it attaches to the chassis.... does it make a noise?

also if you pop your head in your boot, and look up there is like some sound deadening which is popping though some little holes which aren't really big. press on that.. and its that sound!!!

but i really dont know how to fix it :( maybe more sound deafening LOL.. i think its cos i crack my soljah boi to loud hahah.. jks on the soljah boi tho..

[ekdez]

dont have that problem, maybe cos i sound deadened my whole rear parcel shelf lol

ahh beat me to it... i think i need to do that.. easy to do? i might do it when i install my RF power speakers.

[Stig]

easy, but the biggest bitch of a thing to do of my life, you could just slap a whole sheet of dynamat over it and start poking holes, but i cut the dynamat into little pieces and started sticking it down like a puzzle

Greetings....

Long time no post.

Just thought I'd vent... just discovered one of my rims has a massive dent in it :(

Doesn't look like gutter rash per say... anyone who knows me knows I'm meticulous about how/where I park to avoid gutter rash and until now my rims were pristine condition. I'm really saddened by how the rim looks.

Very very sad.

Its just the lip thats bent... anyone reckon I could go to a rim shop and see if anyone is willing to bend it back?

http://a0.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e800040123de2b8150860d-500pi

Anyone ever do any repairs on damaged rims (other than purely cosmetic)? Post some cost/details!

I really really loved those rims.. :(


I think I have the rim model details in my sig.

I think it happened on the weekend... on my way back from toowoomba to brisbane I hit a massive pothole (didn't see it at all - was dark).. never felt such a big thump... Theres no scrapage... its just bent.

[Stig]

rim repair shop should be able to re roll the lip back

[dny]

i thought Rays rims were quality man... badluck ey

[ekdez]

hey liquid nice wheels!
not a fan of the fuel cap tho. cheapens the car imo :)
slam it and BOOM sex toy right ther!

[black8thgen]

shiet something bad must have happened there =/. and yeh pretty sure a rim shop can fix that, not like its been chipped off or broken or nething.

btw liquid looks hot!

[ej20i]

that happened to my g games as well when i bought it
took it to a wheel repair shop...costed me 50 bux and all done

[curtis265]

Looking good liquid!

yeah meaning to take it off when i put it on but it was *itch to get it in there. so hard just replace something so simple.

haha yeah. time to get everything lowered. at least i don't kill my front by parking now its high. good thing the guy had low jack or else couldn't put the wheels on.

hey mark, u can probably take that rim over to "graham's street wheels and tyres" on moss street. very close to ur house. they can do wheel repairs there. a couple of friends have gone there to do so. im sure u can also fish around prices for a rim repair while ur in that area. there are a few other tyre places there in slacks creek that may also be able to fix ur wheel.

[liquid23]

those rims r way to big for the FD lol

i guess stig and ekdez plus anyone else look pretty silly too with their 19s :p
i wouldn't take that stig, use your powers =P hahaha

[Stig]

lol its okay, people have different opinions

[xqwzit]

dont get me wrong.
i like stig's car and ekdezs. vip style.
but liquid i don't know what you want with your ce28 plus audi headlights..
it's rice to me sorry
but yeah just what i think

[liquid23]

i was just joking dw lol i don't hate/dislike other people opinions
i want everyting EVERYTHING. JDM VIP style w/ 1000hp n hot girlz
haha its just a toy car,

[eNGee]

dont get me wrong.

rice is nice with a little bit of spice.......

here's a thought, why don't you post up some pics of your car so that we can all be judgemental and.... probably.... point & laugh.

[black8thgen]

calm it down boys lol. everyones got their own opinions and are entitled to it - and xqwzit's car is quite clean from what i last saw of it lol.

"rice is nice with a little bit of spice......." ur a good rhymer.. LOL.

[FallenAngel]

rice is nice with a little bit of spice.......

here's a thought, why don't you post up some pics of your car so that we can all be judgemental and.... probably.... point & laugh.

each to their own, i also find that the rims are too big although thats just my opinion, which everyone is entitled to. Some people would like some feedback even though its negative and sometimes that how you learn. Just keep it nice and simple and if you dont like it, just ignore it as this IS the internet...

[ekdez]

maybe some peoplez aren't diggin it because they are 19" JDM rims.. rather then the larger vip styled rims..
cos you'd usually associate JDM rims being 18" or less.. ?

[Stig]

yeahh but this looks sick lol

so hard to win an argument with sr20 heads

[curtis265]

cos
1. it's a honda
2. it's FWD
3. it's only a civic

but it's the honda civic FWD that could!

[dny]

YES I FOUND IT.......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kttI3_rA0S4

[curtis265]

wait dude, a stock SR20 is producing like.. 150 kW with turbo, an FD2R makes like 165 NA?

[ej20i]

[Stig]

how about this one? the honda fanboy in me loves it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV7vQm4PTDw

even tho its not a civic, these 2 cars were about the same age.

[DC4Integra98]

jdm s15 = 184kW
adm s15 = 147kW

Though with 3" exhaust and pod, my adm s15 dynoed 164rwkw without MBC.
Stock exhaust on s15 is <2"

Sorry have to jump in as an SR20 boy.... would trade for the FD2R though :)

i was like...o crap but im like 5 mins from home. o well and drive slow.
travelling at like 40 in a 50 zone..entering a runabout, the brake is a bit funny and wasnt as responsive as it was so i dig in deeper and the wheels locked up..
skidded to the pole that has the run about signage!
so annoying!that i dont have car now!
the damage isnt too bad from the looks of it
just headlight, front bumper and mugen kit and grille, headlight support bar and a/c hose

[JOhnnyFD]

damn tat suxz

[howy]

wtf? you're ok right?

man... that's still a lot of dmg though.

[black8thgen]

nah he's relying on my payment for his spark raizin to pay it all off LOL. jks jks, but yeh bl tim =[ - altho - more reason to get RR front? =D.

[cracker]

that suxxxxxx man i hope the mechanic covers it

[ekdez]

[curtis265]

ouch @ story..

[Stig]

think of the bright side, jdm front end conversion :thumbsup:

[sKy.xD]

Hey guys ive lost my modding mojo for a while, but now back with the mod bug :wave:

Going to be purchasing a J's racing exhaust ss soon and also looking into getting a injen cai. Is it worth it to get the hydroshield? I know once your car is submerged in water the hydrosheild can't stop anything but will small puddles effect the engine much?

Im thinking after that dreadful storm of all storm days we had in melbourne a few weeks ago, it would scare alot of people with CAI's! Just want to be on the safer side is all.

[ej20i]

im just leaving it up to AAMI to sort it out!
will keep you guys posted

LOL get anything to protect yourself from hydrolock... my cars written off because of it. quoted $13000+ to get it fixed

[threesix]

ekdez - lets do a canberra FD meet up. your is the only one i see done up so it will be a huge meet! LOL!!!!

[pairz-reason]

so how much is the hydro shield?... and where do you get it from?

[dEE_89]

travelling at like 40 in a 50 zone..entering a runabout, the brake is a bit funny and wasnt as responsive as it was so i dig in deeper and the wheels locked up..

LOL its Roundabout hahaha

[curtis265]

Anyone here use Rain-x on their car?

My windshield fogs up like a reaaaalll mofo

[ej20i]

rain X?
what is that?

[rk 86 wa]

LOL get anything to protect yourself from hydrolock... my cars written off because of it. quoted $13000+ to get it fixed

WTF?!!!

What was damaged and didnt they just write your car off?

[curtis265]

this water repelling liquid that u put on ur windshield.. just wondering if it actually works.

wtf 13k! repair, that's a lie... a brand new R18 would probs cost u $10k at max, and then 3k for labour,w tf!

[rk 86 wa]

im just leaving it up to AAMI to sort it out!
will keep you guys posted

Tim, possible that if they did anywork on the hub or wheel bearing that they flipped it and pushed it in back to front. The Abs sensor on our cars is on one side of the wheel bearing which reads off the sensor.

Otherwise it could be that they just plain forgot to plug the abs sensor back in after taking off the coilvoer (as you need to do so during a sussy install anyway).

On another note, if you ever get a abs light it means that the car isnt losing ABS on that one corner so make sure you get it sorted asap or drive at like 1km/h

Curtis - didnt someone get a complete long block off honda for 2050$? IIRC it would be somewhere back in 2006.

i have a photo of my bent piston lol (made a continuous clicking sound, which we found out later was becos of a bent piston)
the quote was from honda, they needed to replace the engine. and yes my car has been written off, insurance paid us out.

[Stig]

my car is the satalight mist. the champagne gold. so its different to rk's
im just surprised the bonnet/bumper/lip reflected so much light on a 10 second shutter speed.

[threesix]

take a pic of my car with that camera!! lol

[ekdez]

yeah i will when i figure the camera out more and get my rims on. tires are on order :)

[fitme]

Anyone here use Rain-x on their car?i do....not much difference.. it would only make your wiper blade slide more smooter...just regularly clean your windshield using a wet old newspaper.....then dry it up with a newspaper as well..

ekdez....nice rims btw...nice shot too..

[rk 86 wa]

dez, looking good bro :)

[ej20i]

yea rK,
i just let the insurance deal with it all.
