[xenonkuraz]

still bluish I think. I had a pair of 4300k parkers and they were still bluish :/

[ylo00w]

Should be White. Im upgrading to LEDs as they last longer and a bit brighter. One of the sponsors here sells them.

[fitme]

^^ which sponsor?.....i like white for my parkers....but when i put an smd led white....output is bluish...any suggestions? brands?

[eNGee]

ebay matey! i just bought 10 x 7 led T10 bulbs for $5.95 AUD. Ebay FTW!
I've also just recently installed 3 x 6 smd festoons for the interior roof lights. can do a write up if peepz want....

[fitme]

^^ got my smd led from ebay as well....which one did you buy??..please post pic of your parker....thanks

[ylo00w]

Mine arrived today from http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?132883-HIGH-QUALITY-LEDS-Parkers-plates-dome-map-boot-reverse

got 2 pairs of T10 for the parkers and license plate
and a 6 smd and 2 x 1 smd for the interior.

[curtis265]

they ebay ones dont last, trust me. I bought ones and they lasted about a month... fuk that.

[FDBenni]

yeh its better to just go for a more reputable brand, usually the ebay ones turn out blue anyway.

[fitme]

ylooow..thanks...please post pic. i want to see the output of the white led

[Stig]

seems like its hard to get the mtec led parkers now, guess im gonna keep mine :D

[ylo00w]

I had the Mtec parkers but it blew on me after 1.5yrs so time to upgrade as I can't find them anymore. :) I try to post pics when I get the chance to fit them.

[Stig]

which ones did you have? the MTEC LED ones or just the normal mtec parkers? surely the LED ones wont blow that quick

[aero]

ive had LEDs for parkers and rear licence plate lights for just over a year now and they're still going strong

[xenonkuraz]

so...why do the k series engines have to be dropped in back-to-front (compared to most engines)...

[aero]

... they don't need to be

quote from other thread:


all honda engines up to the k and s2000 f series spin backwards. meaning if you hook up a d, b, h etc series engine to a normal rwd gearbox youll have 5 reverse and 1 forwards gear

Anyone got any clean ways of installing LED's?

Got a friend whos interested in doing it. Was thinking of installing it under the headlights, so that they shine outwards, but u can't see the strips.

[xenonkuraz]

underneath the headlights sounds like a good idea...haven't seen anyone do it though

[ej20i]

ive done it
not on civic tho
here it is

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z257/ej20i/DSC_0363.jpg

[xenonkuraz]

Nice. what car is that? looks like a honda

[curtis265]

it's a lancer.

I'm thinking of doing this http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/lighting/184326-led-glow-your-headlights-diy-pics-56k-doom-u.html

but we'll see.

I just want it to look clean, as in not a visible ghetto-stuck on thing. Will post pix when i do it (:

[xenonkuraz]

all this talk of led strips makes me want to do it lol. what do you normally cut in for power? replace the parkers?

[curtis265]

join in parallel to parkers

[xenonkuraz]

What do you guys think of 8000k low beams and 6000k foglights?

[curtis265]

other way round.

too blue for any functional use.

[xenonkuraz]

so you'd suggest 8000k fog lights?

btw I bought a couple of 60cm led strips

[curtis265]

http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/retrofit_hid_comparision_chart.jpg

Try to read things with blue light - it's really hard to make out fine details, and strains ur eyes. IMO pure white is the best, and 6k makes that tinge of blueyness which I like lots.

fogs are better off yellow for cutting through well... fog, but blue would look cool (Y)

[xenonkuraz]

Yeah I know the HIDs wont be as useful with fog but who really uses foglights for fog? lol I don't.

It's mainly for aesthetics in my case ;)

[Stig]

hid fog lights as daytime running lights ftw

[xenonkuraz]

Hey guys as you know I installed some HID for my foglights yesterday. Went to start the car this morning and it wouldn't!!!

Up until yesterday the car was driving perfectly normal. I didn't take it out anywhere but I did install the HIDs. I didn't leave them on or anything and the battery still gives an 'OK' reading and seems to be powering everything fine on ACC (even the lowbeam HIDs and Fog HIDs will turn on).

However when I turn the key, the car cranks over and sputters and won't start.

Anyone have a clue what's happening?

[ej20i]

jump start your car
drive it around
and see if it does it again 2moro mrng

[xenonkuraz]

Got the heat shield on today:

[ryanc]

What do you guys think of 8000k low beams and 6000k foglights?

i think you'll get a fine from the cops drivin around with that

[Stig]

im driving around with 6000k low and 8000k fogs for almost 2-3 years now, luck of the draw

[black8thgen]

depends on state too. and yeah, lots of luck

[curtis265]

you'll get a fine driving around with fogs on anyway.

[xenonkuraz]

The fogs will be drl and the low beams seem pretty stock looking snyway

[aero]

you'll get a fine driving around with fogs on anyway.

u could also get a fine for running HIDs without having projector headlights.

[xenonkuraz]

Not that I've ever seen that happen though. Too many cars come standard with HIDs now and I think its getting too commonplace for the cops to care anymore unless they drive past someone who blinds their vision

[evolution]

If the cops are booking cars with HIDs that blind, they should really book the drivers that drive the Chrysler 300c. Those cars come with irritating HIDs from factory

[ej20i]

agreedd!!!

[curtis265]

HID's need to have automatic levellers, washers and projectors. We have none. FTW :D

300c's are absolute bitches of glare.

ur more likely to be noticed with fogs on too.

oh btw, today one of my HID's (right one) didn't ignite. i turned the off and on again. they worked. I was like wtf and shittin brix, so i went to my mate's civic Fd, turned on his lights, and same shit happened!

what gives :S

If ur battery voltage is too low would that stop it from lighting up the right bulb?

[Stig]

nah, its due to el cheapo hid ballasts, happens to me for my fogs cos i got cheap ones, never happens for my low beams

[curtis265]

but they're kaixen

[Stig]

then i have no idea... LOL ill wait for someone to correct me, but if it happens its no biggy, just do what you did, flick it off then on again

[FDPete]

Hey Stig saw you cruising up Lonsdale st the other day while having a ciggie out the front of my building..was checking out the new Audi coming up the road in the fog then the FD appeared!!

[threesix]

was he rocking the 20's??

[FDBenni]

LOL stig caught out being fully sick

[Stig]

lol dont think that was me, i havent been in the cbd for a long time, exams yo

[FDPete]

lol dont think that was me, i havent been in the cbd for a long time, exams yo

Assumed it was you because of the stig number plate

[ekdez]

his got diff number plates to [STIG]

[Nairda]

im converted now...im so getting projectors

[curtis265]

wut, ebay shiet?

Learn how to do a retro lol

[Stig]

someone needs a big mod, im getting bored lol

[ekdez]

so why does it say DC5R next to your name sitg?

[Stig]

cos i got one for the track :p

[threesix]

your balling doesnt shock me anymore.

[aero]

so a "mod-free" year means u can't spend any money on the FD, but u can get another car? lol

[.k.]

leo can u pm me the guard rolling place details

[aero]

PM sent! lol. btw, any of you guys know what kind of rear camber kits the guys on the 8th gen forums run on their civics? skunk2 and spc both say that they go up to -3 and +3 camber, but it looks as though those guys in the U.S. can run way more negative camber on their cars.

[Stig]

so a "mod-free" year means u can't spend any money on the FD, but u can get another car? lol

its not modding if you buy another car :p gonna have fun stripping it next week, woo

[curtis265]

They probably have special camer arms with more than 3 deg..

looks like it's broken shit anyway

[xenonkuraz]

I just fitted a magnaflow muffler to my FD2. The resonator must be huge on these cars because it nearly sounds stock, whereas with the same muffler on other cars it's loud as fvck

[FDBenni]

videoclip please! is there much difference?
im thinking of getting a twin tip magnaflow muffler but not sure how it will sound

[black8thgen]

yep resonator on fds is fkn massive haha. i changed mine out to a smaller one, big difference =P

but just save money and make it a straight pipe resonator - even louder

[Shimian]

yep resonator on fds is fkn massive haha. i changed mine out to a smaller one, big difference =P

but just save money and make it a straight pipe resonator - even louder

Which brand did u change it to? I was looking at the magnaflow ones. Not sure if they are smaller than our FD2s

[d@vid]

yep resonator on fds is fkn massive haha. i changed mine out to a smaller one, big difference =P

but just save money and make it a straight pipe resonator - even louder

I remove the resnator near the end, close to the muffler....now is much louder

[xenonkuraz]

I'm afraid that removing the resonator will make it sound 'raspy'. This happened on my CD5.

Do you guys get that problem? Or is it just a loud deep note.

Down the track I might get an aftermarket resonator rather than a straight pipe depending on your feedback.

I'll do a video clip over the weekend but basically this is how it sounds:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-OkoTKGUk

Same car, same muffler (but mine's fitter straighter LOL)

While cruising though it's barely audible in the cabin, but you can tell theres a deeper, smoother exhaust note flowing from your rear now. It's awesome.

[FDBenni]

Can you hear it on open throttle?
Worthwhile getting muffler only?

[xenonkuraz]

I mean it's actually pretty audible driving with windows up and music blaring, but just not as loud as it is on any other car. It's worth getting the muffler alone just for performance gain. Less backpressure = more power (please no debates on this as you know I'm right!)

Here's some pics:

[curtis265]

dw you are right :thumbsup:

and it does look very good.

OEM look ftw.

now i want to polish my exhausts up

[sirdistik]

Found this on a friend's twitter page. thought i'd share it. http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/large/42344925.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1277524103&Signature=sG2IsfaHn5BEBTY%2BVh1nond2omM%3D

[xenonkuraz]

What is it?

[Stig]

ohh how much are magnaflow twin exhausts?

[xenonkuraz]

I got mine for $385 installed on my current CD5.

However I have bought them from the states for $280 brand new.

My first ever one was off this forum for $60 which was a straight bolt-on for my first CD5. Rock on!

I also had one on my Audi which I got from Firesport for $120.

(So I've had 3x 14815 and 1x 14816)

[xenonkuraz]

Just made a video of the exhaust with my iphone. It's pretty crappy because of the 4k rev limiter...

[FDBenni]

post it up!

[ekdez]

watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqn2hmwAUtU&feature=related

or

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHLWtqem_AI&feature=related

im not familiar with the n+ set up... so u could watch both to see how u can raise or lower ur car.

it doesnt use the buddyclub n+, but its a fairly basic lesson on how the height adjust mechanism works on coilovers. the only difference is that if u want to adjust ur height while the coils are already installed on ur car, u will need to use the c-spanners to to move the adjusters and lock rings up and down and to secure them.

[KOHO]

Hey all, as some of you know I have been lurking around for the past month. Sold my DC5 base (so much harder to sell) and decided to get a FD as a daily ride for the next 2 months. Here's a humble photo of my 07 FD1. Nothing fantastic and not as cool looking as the rest of the FDs around but just to share. = )

Mods:
Exterior = OEM wing, OEM Foggies, Fox 17", genuine Mugen window visors (thanks Leo!)
Lights = MTEC 4900 Hi/Lo, interior dome lights, LED Parkers and license plates
Engine = Mugen Air filter

No more plans of modding the car, though the initial plan was to get a SRI. some of you already know, it will be gone soon. So those are the mods I have done for a 2month old 'car'. = )

[aero]

nice car, man. its a shame that you're spending money for something you're only gonna keep for 2 months though...

[KOHO]

thanks aero. Well, its all for the fun of it isn't it? at least i enjoy while it lasts = )

[curtis265]

Lookin good :thumbsup:

thanks xenonkuraz. heading home for good in october after 7 years of uni. :cool: so its a get around/temprorary car after i sold my DC5 base in May. Was thinking the FD would be easier to sell than the teg so thats why.

Does anyone know how to remove these clip things from the foam in the boot, without breaking them or the foam?

http://tinypic.com/r/25872c4/6

http://tinypic.com/r/fehvtf/6

Tried to pry them out but it felt like I was going to snap the foam :(

Thanks guys!

[hondar]

What's the different between 360 477 A & 380 477 A?

pls hover on the car icon, it will tell you which one is for RB1

[curtis265]

try get either side of it and pull directly up. fast and hard.

and then hope you don't break it. As long as ur not pulling too far away it should be fine

[KOHO]

slip a flathead screw under and turn the screw counter-clockwise slowly..

[howy]

I saw a FD with those LEDs while I was driving on Canterbury Rd towards Campsie the other night...
Wonder if it's anyone here on the forums.

Looked alright, but just not my cuppa tea.

[KOHO]

haha...there's another black FD with mugen wing and running either LEDs or audi-lights running everyday on parramatta road towards the city @ 705-710am each morning. looks pretty sweet.

under the bonnet, there is that carpet sorta like material on the underside, anyone know what it does? any consequences of removing it?

[FDBenni]

been told its sound insulation, removing it should be no problems

[aero]

yeah. should just be sound deadening. removing it means it goes from vtec yo to VTEC YO!!!!!!!!

[ekdez]

might protect your bonnet from the heat.. which will bubble the paint?

[Stig]

[ekdez]

what do u guys think of my car ?.. does it look ok ?.. or is it pretty ricey?

i reckon those SSR's will suit it well.

[threesix]

me too.

i recon your car looks dope. love red.

[curtis265]

nice red, interesting to see a modded one

dislike taillights though, the grey reverse lights kill it

[FDBenni]

yeh not really feeling the smoked reverse lights, id say a wing would suit a red FD, maybe get a mugen rr wing

[pairz-reason]

hmmz ok so u reckon stockies look better?.. reason i changed was coz my car is red the stock taill ights looked like it was camouflaged with the car lol so i wanted to contrast but yeh.. haha u mugen rr wing aye.. with the middle carbon blade? that meanz holes in the boot lol :(

[pairz-reason]

after i saw tims modulo lip kit.. omg i want it so bad.. it looks pretty agressive farout.. but then having a mugen lip kit then tryna take that off with all that tape on it is pretty annoying lol... omg regret it so bad

[curtis265]

hi guys found the picture installed. almost flush. nothing sticking out much!!

Often overlooked, especially on vehicles that are reaching higher levels of modification, is the importance of reinforcing the chassis. All vehicles experience flexing of the unibody under various handling loads. Twisting of the chassis is also very common on higher horsepower vehicles.

The SUSTEC UNDERBRACE prevents this unwanted behaviour by connecting specific points of the undercarriage to reinforce the chassis. Unique internal double-i-beam construction is highly rigid and lightweight, so the chassis may be significantly reinforced without adding surplus weight.

What colour rims do you guys recommend to go with Alabaster silver?

I'm thinking Bronze or white. I love TE37s and CR Kais and CE28s :D

[aero]

ive got black on alabaster silver atm. i like black on silver. also think that gold or bronze also goes well. not a fan of white on silver though.

Damn I really need to make myself some money to buy a wing and CR Kais :(

p.s. wheels actually going on tonite.

i gotta roll my guards a little more. :thumbsup:





edit: wheels are on :) ill photo u tomorrow!

can safely say that the front, 19x8.5 +25 with a 215/35r19 will fit no problems :)
however, 19x9.5 +30 with a 225/35 will require u to do some work to the fenders and bumper :) imho 9.5 is a bit wide for our fd's in 19" maybe 17 or 18 tho :thumbsup:

Sweet! what paint did you use? VHT?

[eNGee]

^ i used "3M" Caliper Paint from Super Cheap Auto... they didn't stock anything else really... was looking for Septone Caliper Paint but it's all the same shiz.

[ekdez]

what camera you got?

[.k.]

i awnna paint my brakes black, any recommended paint brands? / which ones to steer clear of?

[curtis265]

Took a quick look here (http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/exterior-style-mods/49958-diy-how-paint-your-brake-calipers-w-pics.html) to compare to yours. Results look similar, but instead, this one has used a 'brake caliper paint kit'

I'd also recommend sanding them down like a b*tch so they're smooth and shiny too, that'll look nice. Won't help as well with heat dispersion, but that's probably minimal anyway

[xenonkuraz]

http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae213/eric_2730/DSC_0107.jpg

Hey Mate, I have the 3M paint as well. Planning to do mine on a warm day. How many coats did you do? And how did you clean the calipers?

Whose gonna wanna paint with a brush lol

[eNGee]

^ Cleaned the calipers with a decent spray of degreaser, waited a couple of minutes, then scrubbed them with toothbrushes and washed the calipers with warm water. Then dried them up with rags. Once dry, i applied 3 coats of paint at 5 minute intervals. i rekn u could do 4 coats so that it's super shiny and you're only doing the one car...

We did 3 cars (12 calipers) with one (1) can. 2 cars with 3 coats and 1 car with 2 coats =D

blah blah blah... will do a DIY write up tonite or tomz hehe =)
