ekdez who is that gorgeous girl in your dp..every time you post i get distracted by her

[xenonkuraz]

^ the same thought that crossed my mind 2 hrs ago. She looks jap.

Anywho...

while I wait for my new intake to arrive, gonna enjoy hacking up my old one for fun...

[Nairda]

hacking up? wait! what is it?

[xenonkuraz]

The stock air box. I'm planning to cut out the bottom of it to expose the panel filter...

stealth ftw!

& louder vtak!

& heatsoak ftl :(!

[Nairda]

Lol xenon lemme know how that turns out...what intake + exhaust you running?

[xenonkuraz]

Stock until the Fujita arrives. Planning to swap over the stock muffler with my CD5's Magnaflow 2.25"in/dual 3"out

[Nairda]

would you be able to record a run before and after for me so i could get a feel for what it would sound like?

[JOhnnyFD]

some photos of CAI on the civic fd.. and its an injen with the hydroshield.. thank god i got this on due to the hectic rain thats been going on

nice johnny! How long did it take? what exhaust?

record a youtube so we can see the diff! =D

[JOhnnyFD]

installing the injen took around 40 mins to do

this is a vid of my exhaust only.. havent got one for my injen, but you can hear the sucking sound when going over 3500rpm :thumbsup:

[Nairda]

nice! how is it inside the car? is it noticeably louder normal driving?

[JOhnnyFD]

nice! how is it inside the car? is it noticeably louder normal driving?

on normal driving conditions under 3000rpm... u can only hear the J's exhaust and its definitely louder than stock oem mufflers

once over 3000rpm.. thats when the car sings.. that J's racing note with the injen sound :angel:

[xenonkuraz]

Where did you get the hydro shield from? can't believe it really works :D If I had known they made something like that I might have bought a CAI instead...

[ej20i]

qhy have u got 2 ballast?
hid high beam as well?

[xenonkuraz]

Pretty cool setup...I couldn't be bothered taking the bumper off to mount the ballasts

[Nairda]

on normal driving conditions under 3000rpm... u can only hear the J's exhaust and its definitely louder than stock oem mufflers

once over 3000rpm.. thats when the car sings.. that J's racing note with the injen sound :angel:

What if i dont like the look of the J's catback lol...does anyone know if the mugen one is relatively quiet<4000rpm and sings >4000 RPM?

[Stig]

once over 3000rpm.. thats when the car sings.. that J's racing note with the injen sound :angel:

i find the injen is so much louder than the js racing over 3k rpm lol

[JOhnnyFD]

Where did you get the hydro shield from? can't believe it really works :D If I had known they made something like that I might have bought a CAI instead...

hydroshields good for keeping the air filter pod clean and dry... its water repellent but aint water proof... so if u drive in a flood knee deep, then ur stuffed hydroshield or not with CAI


qhy have u got 2 ballast?
hid high beam as well?

yeah, both high and low.. may as well get the set for lights

[curtis265]

lol are HID high beams even useful?

[JOhnnyFD]

yeh definitely... sometimes when the low beam HIDs arent bright enough and need daylight vision at night, high beams for peace of mind

[curtis265]

oh of course... but then u can't flick them at people :(

[JOhnnyFD]

yehh.. i only use em in deserted street areas where theres no cars around... not on the main road or highway, that'll piss ppl off if on high beams

[black8thgen]

plus its illegal to highbeam when there r oncoming cars lol

[xenonkuraz]

Modified my stock air box and the car threw a CEL! lol so gay! I disconnected the -ve terminal beforehand as well and let the car adapt afterwards.

I doubt that my Fujita intake is gonna work then...

Why do our cars have to be so sensitive :thumbsdown:

[black8thgen]

howd u modify it ? u probably moved the MAF sensor, which has to be like in the EXACT same spot/distance/length etc as stock (fd2 engine is really sensitive). ur fujita intake should work if since its properly designed, im guessing the k20z3 will have similar intake specs to k20z2... hopefully for you lol

[JOhnnyFD]

someone buy the RBC intake manifold already.. haha

[black8thgen]

costs as much as an intake lol =.=

[d@vid]

I just kept my stock intake box and run a pipe to the front bumper for cold air.

Work just as well :)

All I did was cut out the lower portion of the airbox to reveal the panel filter (put in a K&N high flow) sounds amazing but the damn CEL! didn't touch the sensor. Maybe it's the increase in air flow >_>

[black8thgen]

eh really =.=.. hmmmmmmmm, cant thikn of why it would throw a cel

[xenonkuraz]

Well now that I've already started modifying the stock air box I'm gonna try a different approach:

cut off the top part just after the MAF sensor and attach a pod.

See if it gives a better induction noise and hopefully remove the CEL (by some miracle)!

What intake are you running?

[ylo00w]

Here is a pic of my new shoes. :thumbsup:

[curtis265]

duuude i want to look like that :(

Mate, this was already done to my intake when I bought the car. Sounds like what you are attempting. Not too sure what the original owner did, but from what he told me, he removed the original box and air resonator, put a pod on and made a custom pipe and heat shield to redirect cold air to the pod.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee128/rb1odc/Civic/IMG_2612.jpg

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee128/rb1odc/Civic/IMG_2613.jpg

I haven't seen a CEL problem, so either it works or he took out the bulb on the dash :p

And because I bought it this way I can't tell you what the diff in sound is like.

[xenonkuraz]

Where did you get the visors ylo00w?

Thanks for the pics and info evo. Nice to see a bit of carbon in your engine bay ;)

Btw, it looks like he's used the stock pipe for the cold air induction (that previously led to the resonator chamber).

Mine's an FD2 so it will look a bit different to that as the intake manifold is at the front :)

[ylo00w]

Mugen visors came from JDMyard.

[ekdez]

Whats the stud pattern of our cars? The same between FD1/FD2?

correct both share the same stud PCD: 5x114.3

[ekdez]

Here is a pic of my new shoes. :thumbsup:

are those 16"? or 17"? and +42 im guessing?

i wanna see what the con-caved RPF1's look like on our cars. u know the flat faced ones..

[ylo00w]

Here some specs
RPF1 17 x 8 x 45

stock rubber
215 x 45 x17 not too stretched, will go 225 next time.

Lowered on Tein Htech springs

lol, I should have read properly that you were talking about the FD2.

[xenonkuraz]

Finally, a car with a popular stud pattern! Standard ET is about +35?

[FDBenni]

standard offset is +45

[xenonkuraz]

How are you guys with FDs lowered on just springs feeling? Bumpy?

[xenonkuraz]

Anyone know how to remove the license plate bulb covers?

[evolution]

How are you guys with FDs lowered on just springs feeling? Bumpy?

Bouncy is more like it for springs,not bumpy... bumpy is for coilovers :p The Tein S Tech Springs are comfortable enough, but there is still quite a lot of roll


Anyone know how to remove the license plate bulb covers?

The bulbs are changed from the back, you need to open the boot, unscrew the boot id lining and you will find the licence plate bulbs.

[aero]

Anyone know how to remove the license plate bulb covers?

the covers? if u wanna just swap the bulbs with some LED's there is a DIY written up on it here:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?112353-DIY-FD-Civic-rear-licence-plate-bulb-change

[xenonkuraz]

Thanks guys.

Yeah my last car was bumpy on the smoothest of roads with buddyclub coilovers >_>

[Stig]

anyone wants to sell me their oem stock speakers? still loooking for them ><!

When i first did mine it happened to me also, but i dc the neg on the battery and let it sit for half an hour and reconnect, then everything works fine ever since.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260413132086&_trksid=p2759.l1259

[FDBenni]

seems alrite, it works the same way as the skunk2 short shifter

[xenonkuraz]

A definite fit for our FDs?

Any chance of faster synchro/clutch wear? I have a kit on my Accord and it seems too tight now compared to when I first fitted it

[black8thgen]

[xenonkuraz]

ROFL thats hilarious. Fame.


most aggressive offset possible for our cars or possible for the wheel? lol

Most aggressive offset possible for the FD (probably not that great)

[aero]

^ thats a pretty hard thing to do. a lot will depend on suspension, tyre size, guard work and camber. im waiting on someone *cough dez cough* to try n fit some 9.5" wide +30 wheels

[curtis265]

saw ur car on tv tim!

well, it's arse anyway

I'm Getting te37s with the most aggressive offset possible lol. Takata green on alabaster silver anyone?

so i hear 18x9.5 +12 te37's all round is doable. plenty of those rims avaiable! they are nissan gtr offsets =] hahaha but good luck getting them to tuck haha


Keep an eye out for my fd in a current afair tonight around 6.30!!!!

[Stig]

opinions on getting a full respray in the jdm blue on the fd2r? i'm thinking it would look weird at the front with the mugen lip kit, i cant picture it

or the blue from the acura csx (not sure if its the same as the fd2r blue), if not i like the csx blue more

[aero]

wouldn't it just look like this?
http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/catalog/mugen/mugen.fd2.chinspoiler_d.jpg
imo it doesnt look weird at all

[ej20i]

i LOVE that BLUE!

[ylo00w]

Do you guys think this grille will fit ours FD? Anyone interested in a group buy so we can get a better pricing.

yeahh i wanted it to be like the v-lip

shit just realised how filthy my car is =.=.... fkn rain

[curtis265]

doesn't look that bad... better than what i'd DIY, lol

[Nairda]

LOL thats funny...im sure if u look at it from a distance nobody would be any the wiser...

They should start making "street lip"s made out of rubber so they'd be more resilient to kerb scratching...

[black8thgen]

lol up close u can see the double sided tape =.=.. i put it a bit too far out hahah oh well T_T.

[curtis265]

nvm man, it's all about being destroyable...

you'll look like a driftpig lol

[xenonkuraz]

If my Fujita fails, this is my home-made mod (similar to x-intake as seen on 8thcivic):

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7484/img0188lw.jpg

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4164/img0187oh.jpg

Option Racing coupler, TFI adapter and Apexi pod ~ $50 bucks!

To fit it I'll remove the airbox lid and mount it right after the AFM like so...

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Samson613/zzzzz9170.jpg

And then if I can be bothered I'll fabricate an MM style intake to draw air from the foglight vent.

Stay tuned!

[Nairda]

if the cops pull you over with that they could fine you or warn you right?
I saw my cousin's EP3R had a mugen intake box that looked really good (professionally done) and theres no exposed pod.
Anything like that available to FDs? (other than the actual mugen one of course)

[xenonkuraz]

Yeah there's heaps of aftermarket intakes that will fit...just the matter of whether they'll throw a CEL or not. Check out the intake thread on 8thcivic.com

If I do get pulled over I'll revert to standard or try a cold air intake.

[Nairda]

CAI dont count as "exposed" pods?

[black8thgen]

they do, just depends if the cop hates u enough, needs enough money, or is smrt enough to look down that low for the open pod haha.

[Nairda]

In that case seems like its best to go with the mugen intake

[xenonkuraz]

Cops don't get paid more for handing out fines and I've been pulled over with CAI's with my other cars: no problem.

[Nairda]

Ha! say that to the parking fine nazis....or do they get incentive...comission?

[black8thgen]

its arguable, ppl say cops have a quota.

yeah but some people hve been pulled over for CAI and got defected, depends what state though

[Stig]

its really a hit and miss, you either mod or you dont and if you do mod you are willing to accept the consequences

[ej20i]

dont mention anything about the location of CAI here
LOL!

[xenonkuraz]

Yeah umm it's in the umm boot

[black8thgen]

cai = enclosed pod right...... yeah =]

[JOhnnyFD]

with the front bumper on, it is enclosed.. kind of.. and more enclosed with an hydroshield on.. lol

[ej20i]

JOHN!!!!its in the BOOOT!!!!
LOL!

[black8thgen]

johnny missed the point LMAO.

[black8thgen]

yeh theyre fine, just as long as its a T10 bulb.

[curtis265]

anything below 5W is ok - the stock bulb is 5W, most LED's are 1W for the high power ones. 5Wled wud be nuts!

[Stig]

thanks mate........btw how about for the parker?? is the 10xled smd too strong??

[xenonkuraz]

Can't be stronger than the output of HIDs ;)

Next mod:

3-point strut bar

[curtis265]

wtf can u even fit that into your parker hole?

[ej20i]

LOL!
photos?
2moro
was really busy today

[Nairda]

I just looked at some photos of the May Highpoint SC Ozhonda meet...did anyone from here go? I saw a black FD2 with what looks like a K20A inside? whos is it?

Also are meets like that "illegal" or are people just scared of cops defecting peoples cars?
If there was a meet and i went to have a look could cops question me? Or only if i start hooning/have defectable mods?

[Stig]

i attended that meet, that black fd is fd1 with a k20z

you gotta remember here, you are going to drive a fd, why would cops do anything to a near stock fd? stop worrying so much

[Nairda]

Haha no i was unaware of the "law" concerning meets...ive never been to one but when i had a look in that thread seemed like people were worried soon as there was a rumour that cops were coming....Anyway thats probably nice to know.

BTW how knowledgable are cops on cars engines and stuff? Obviously if a cop pulled me over i had a turbocharger in my civic he would be asking questions, but if i had a K20A? Would they realise?

[xenonkuraz]

Those meets are not illegal.

If a cop pulled you over and you had a turbo in your Honda he probably couldn't tell.

But you can't generalise cops.

Some have been trained to know the ins-and-outs of the modification scene.

Some are just taught to look for intercoolers, pod filters, blow off valves, height clearance, exhaust decibel readings, etc.

Some look at your Honda and say 'nice Holden'

[Stig]

they are worried about cops cos the mods they have done on their car is illegal and did not want a defect

cops did show up but they did not do anything about it, just sat there and watched, they were nice though

only reason they showed up cos some idiots were being a hero and launching it up at the ramp when they were leaving, so i would have assumed they were they because security called

[xenonkuraz]

Can someone link me to this HP gallery? I want to be at the next one!

I love hp, grew up there

'That's the point' lol

i dont think there will be meet as this big in melb for a long time, it was kinda a spur of the moment thing in which, one person went, more people came, brought their friends... a domino effect lol

my first reaction when i rocked up was... fkkkk this shit only happens in the states

[Nairda]

'That's the point' lol

Some have been trained to know the ins-and-outs of the modification scene.

Some are just taught to look for intercoolers, pod filters, blow off valves, height clearance, exhaust decibel readings, etc.

Some look at your Honda and say 'nice Holden'

Way to go for sleepers! =D

i dont think there will be meet as this big in melb for a long time, it was kinda a spur of the moment thing in which, one person went, more people came, brought their friends... a domino effect lol

my first reaction when i rocked up was... fkkkk this shit only happens in the states

that was a pretty nice meet. the annual qld meets are pretty huge as well. here's a pic of last years one... cant see any of our fd's tho :(

hopefully this year will be even bigger. less than 4 weeks to go. there is definitely gonna be a lot more fd's coming.... i hope lol

[Stig]

yeah qld kill it in terms of meet, we dont get meets as big as them in vic, if we do its random luck or by chance

[Stig]

fd2r kit or keep it prefacelift mugen? hmm

[curtis265]

prefacelift mugen looks VIP. and type R means you'll spend moneym, won't it?

[Stig]

hypothetically! it will cost the same if i were to get the fd2r or get a new mugen kit and fix up my rear/front bar sprayed etc

and i wont be vip anymore :p

[jem.142]

hey guys

i managed to buckle my side skirt

i was just wondering if buying a 09+ mugen replica skirt would differ from pre facelift?

logic tells me that it was just that a facelift and not a major alternation to dimension?

if anyone can confirm it would be a great help

cheers

[aero]

Should fit fine, mate

[xenonkuraz]

You should be fine, the chassis remained the same

[xenonkuraz]

Just installed a fully functional AUX cable in my car.

Total cost = $4.95

Time = 1.5 hours

Sound = Sweet. SHUFFLE!!!

[Nairda]

hey guys in regards to this FD2R conversion
http://team99ers.2.forumer.com/a/honda-civic-fd1-coverting-to-fd2r33_post2170.html

If you get the original type R kit, in which way does it not fit or does it just not line up nicely?
I am just wondering because this guy seems to have gotten an original type R kit if i am not wrong but he also had to buy new fenders

nice job, how'd u do it?

[dny]

^
i swear i've read that question a million times

in other news. someone please crash into my fd and get it written off! thankyou byes :D

[Stig]

come on man, we have pretty much answered that question in every thread, please just search

[xenonkuraz]

^ true

I did a straight connection to the deck with a male-male 3.5mm cable.

[curtis265]

LOL my bad, must've never noticed.

dny, why don't you just try sell ur car instead? or return it to stock and appreciate what a great, economical little car the civic FD is?

the greatest mod you can do is to ur own mindset

[xenonkuraz]

dny whats wrong with your fd?

[curtis265]

he hates it cos it's too slow and he's bored of it

[dny]

haha i can't really sell it because it would be like disrespecting my parents (asians would understand) cause they bought it for me

if you get what i mean... ahhahaha

[curtis265]

"SWAT came into my house... Disrepected my WHOLE FAMILY"

[xenonkuraz]

Critical help needed! argh!

Stripped my dash for the second time today as I started noticing that the audio output from the AUX cable seemed like there was no treble (sounded like it was at -6) whereas in fact its at +6. Bass seemed a bit poopy too.

I played around with the ipod controls (EQ etc) and nothing seemed to help it.

Could it be the quality of the audio cable...? I bought it from Jaycar.

I checked the connections 10 times and they seemed fine BUT the difference is I did NOT use crimped ends, rather I stripped the wires and stuck them in snugly.

None of the wires were touching each other and they were all in the right positions (after all I had music playing quite well).

In the end I took out the damn thing and put my dash back together again (agonizing over the bloody a/c tube).

Sigh, help!

P.S. Is it normal for my FD to flash three times when I lock it?

[dny]

yeh its normal for ur car to flash 3times when u lock it!

[xenonkuraz]

P.S.S. The 6-cd stacker stereo is fvkin heavy

[ekdez]

it flash's once with u lock it, and 3 times when u dead lock it..

has anyone noticed the temperature thing flash ? mine flashed on 3*C tonight for like 10 seconds... odd..?
i was like wow, watched it and nearly went off the road.. small things for small minds :|

[ej20i]

what temperature thing?
maybe FD1 dont hve it

it could be ur songs are just crappy quality mate

[eNGee]

Vti-L & Sport Models have a temperature display for the aircon... whereas Vti models don't. No biggie.

[xenonkuraz]

I thought that was the temperature display of outside ambient temp? or are you referring to the climate control unit?

[Nairda]

Vti-L & Sport Models have a temperature display for the aircon... whereas Vti models don't. No biggie.

I think he means climate control

[threesix]

what temperature thing?

it displays the k's the car has done, fuel consuption for trip A, trip B, and the temp for outside.

[ekdez]

it displays the k's the car has done, fuel consuption for trip A, trip B, and the temp for outside.

i was referring to what Al described above.

p.s. fking tires aren't on so annoyed. the shop decided to order the tires too late and the order never came =.= looks liek early next week!! asdhflkasjfhlkasjf

[xenonkuraz]

Found a new exhaust for my FD! (sorta)

Swapping the magnaflow from my CD5 LOL~

[tinymoon]

it displays the k's the car has done, fuel consuption for trip A, trip B, and the temp for outside.

Yes, on the Trip A and B there is an indication for outside temperature, The climate control is different thing for control the inside temperature as desired.

My car flash 3 times when i press lock button and one time when i press unlock. Other FD from myfriend are way round. I dont really care about that.
All i have is my car Fking road noise from tyre. Gonna do the Dynamat for it

[xenonkuraz]

LOL you'll still hear them through your windows ;) haha

[curtis265]

How much does dynamat cost anyway?

just buy a bimmer insetad

[Stig]

oo that reminds me, i have some dynamat which ive been wanting to sell but forgot about it LOL

[black8thgen]

am i gonna need to roll my guards with 18x8 +35?

[xenonkuraz]

should just fit without rolling

[black8thgen]

it'll prob scrub on full lock tho hey, ive got two finger gap up front and one finger gap rear

[xenonkuraz]

Yes you can't get away from that.

Question:

what aftermarket ECU's are compatible with our FD2? Anything other than unichip?

[black8thgen]

havent heard much info about ECUs, but, the trader adaptronic here is offering custom ECU builds if u wanna look into that

[aero]

am i gonna need to roll my guards with 18x8 +35?

it will help to get ur guards lipped or rolled. doesnt cost much to do. scrubbing will also depend on ur tyres. 215 or 205 wide tyres are probably sufficient to get those wheels on without guard rolling.

[black8thgen]

yer im gna go 215 if i do end up going for it

[xenonkuraz]

Just bought 'halos' for my headlights

[chenny]

is the meter for the outside temperature only on the FD2s?
my FD1 only has trip A and B..

[Stig]

Initally on Km Trip A
Press once for Km Trip B
Press again for Tempterature Trip A or B dont remember which

i have an 07 fd1 btw and i have it

[evolution]

Stig, yours must be a VTiL. My VTi also only has trip A and B.

[Stig]

hmm did not know that, guess you learn something new everyday

[curtis265]

Would you guys consider an FD2 with a build date of October 06 to be an '07' model?

[Xpire]

Would you guys consider an FD2 with a build date of October 06 to be an '07' model?

How do you find the build date? I remember seeing it somewhere.

I think '07 FD2 has AUX, whereas the '06 doesn't. That's the only difference I know of...

[Stig]

Would you guys consider an FD2 with a build date of October 06 to be an '07' model?

yes .

[xenonkuraz]

Woohoo I have an 07 FD2 then :P

[Stig]

is it registered as an 06 or 07? look on your rego

[KOHO]

hmmz....i have feb 07 FD1 and came with the AUX

[xenonkuraz]

Registered as an 06 :( no aux :(

[Xpire]

Registered as an 06 :( no aux :(

LOL, guess you gotta change back your profile info :p

Don't worry, I was disappointed too when I found out that AUX came with 07+ :(

[Stig]

yeah thats an 06 then, 07+ comes with aux

although mine was built in 06 dec, its an 07 model

[xenonkuraz]

LOL, guess you gotta change back your profile info :p

LOL you noticed :P

Lol Curtis nice pics

[FallenAngel]

Would you guys consider an FD2 with a build date of October 06 to be an '07' model?

It was built on the 06 production line but sold as a 07 model. Usually manufacturers release their "new models" near the end of the year saying its the new model out.

[xenonkuraz]

Mine wasn't complianced until dec 06

[aero]

mine was a late 06 build but 07 compliance. glad i got an aux input as standard

[fitme]

Sounds more tank than the Fujita and they have a whole thread on 8thcivic dedicated to how good the Fujita sounds.

[FDBenni]

looking nice there, so you solved the CEL problem?

[xenonkuraz]

Yep I played around with the length of the coupler and it eventually fixed itself! :)

[xenonkuraz]

I got my H11 kit...but the bulbs seem a bit long to fit in the fogs. Can anyone confirm?

[black8thgen]

H11 for foggies for sure

[threesix]

does every model come with the stereo fuction that when you slow down the music gets quiter and when you go faster the music gets louder??

[fitme]

will the output of this bulb will be white??
