Hey All,
i'm really tempted to get the "HONDA CIVIC FD1 LED ANGEL EYES PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT" (Audi style),
found one place on ebay thats apparently located in Clayton, Melbourne selling them for $319 (each/pair - not sure yet lol)

Does anyone know of any other place in Melb that sells these? and are they hard to put on yourself? or best to pay someone to install?

PIC - http://www.nakawanet.com/angeleye/HU480E-02-1-J-012.jpg

Also are there any dramas getting these in terms of legal/non-legal? it states they use 4 halogen bulbs (I'm assuming they are the standard light bulbs) Do these headlights come in a version that supports HID?

Sorry all new to me :) - noob factor x 10000000

no holes, just use a bit of dental floss/fishing line to go behind it and cut the badge off. then maybe isopropyl alcohol to get the residue off.

don't be an idiot like me and use turps, made me get epic swirls from rubbing like crazy

NICE! just like mine, but with a different bonnet, different rims different spoiler lol, just different hehehehe.

I like it, looks good. Do you mind me asking what the rim specs are and also what you did to the suspension?

By the way, my modulo side skirting has warped and come undone in one location, was fitted as standard when i bought the car, should i complain and get it fixed under warranty?

EDIT: actually i think my WArranty just ran out. Had it since June 07 (if i'm not mistaken) only 38K in 3 years lol.

hi guys,

not sure if this has been covered yet, I'm new on the forums.

I'm thinking of getting the Civic Sports MY10.

Does anyone know if it's possible or has anyone actually modded the instrument display colour from standard Blue to another colour, like Red? I have seen some pictures of the Civic Si (not sure if it was an Australian version though), where the instrument lights were Red like in the Type R. Is this possible to mod either at the factory or 3rd party?

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to put in a screen for GPS and audio / video as the standard dash doesn't look like it would easily accommodate a screen.

Again, sorry if this has been raised before, but there are a lot of pages on this topic to go through. I am thinking of buying real soon.

Yes and Yes, People have moded the FD/FD2 console lights, i havn't personally and not sure how many here have, but i'm sure there are DIY guides somewhere in this forum. As for Audio/video, you can replace the dash component with one of these:

http://media.photobucket.com/image/civic%20FD%20console/spugen_ekjdm/jdm%20and%20edm%20parts/fd2dinpanel-1.jpg - theres a few on ebay

Then purchase one of many new Audio/Video/GPS systems to chuck into it.

Questions:
By the way - does anyone know how big that opening is within the "Double Din Console And Bracket"? is it 7"?

One more thing, now when the car is switched on and the console lights up at night, what console parts are lit up? My "audio display" and "aircon/heater controls" light up, however my "audio control "1,2,3 buttons, skip/frwd" etc don't light up, is this normal or has a fuse/globe gone? i have FD 07.

The highlighted in GREEN sections all light up as expected under driving lights (no need to adjust "illuminate" button.

The highlighted in RED section does not light up at all. Dark as night, can't see what i'm pressing.

That looks alright, expected these things to be more expensive.

How would you upgrade your maps for the GPS? I know that there are TomTom/Garmin etc. and they're usually pretty good, but I'd expect that these no-named systems would provide crap maps, right?

tinymoon
20-07-2010, 04:47 AM
There are two card slots in the system, one for update maps, other for media things link music ... The only thing is the quality of the music (dvd....) produce by the system is just crap.
I had a chance to see it fitted in a Honda Civic in Sunnybank of one of Asian guy, having a short chat about the system, everything seem okie except the screen look not really clear and bright as advertised as 400*800. GPS are useless because of slow on update, the only thing i love is it gives a look of manufactory and oringinal.

I almost paid out for this one but i did not find any review or any relevant information so decided to go for Alpine (the whole system with everything from headunit to sub, speakers, amps...) work out it costs me much cheaper and above of all is the quality and reliable warranty that i can rest on.

Read the Warranty on the website carefuly, 6 month free repair, cost of shipping almost 70 to 100. Waitng time ....

Had my 40K service at Honda Essendon, damn my side skirt needs to go to panel beaters! Wife's fault, she hit a curb and warped it :( - By the way, the console lights that i had been asking about, where mine don't seem to work (audio controls), well apparently when wife spilled soft drink on the console, it must have leaked into the electrics, hence the lighting in one part no longer works, Honda quotes $1100 to replace. (assuming radio works - which it does - if it didn't would have been more)

Man for that price id rather get the double din kit, and a new sound system! - That is exactly what i'll be doin ;)

how much was the rear anti roll bar and the 9 'bulb' smd?

Rear ARB was around $300 delivered
9 bulb smd around $10-15 (can't rmbr exact price)


tell us how the sway bar goes evil!
you running stock sussy atm?

yes, still rocking stock suspension until I got enough money for coilovers. Got these as a bang for buck mod, still improves handling for a fraction of the price of coilovers.

Even though on stock susp car feels more stable, smoother & flatter in corners now, there is still body roll, but it has been reduced to approx 30-40% less. Only downside is going over speed bumps are a slighlty more noticeable, as rear is more stiff.


wtf we have a stock sway bar?

yea, Aus civic got stock front & rear sway bar. Rear is really thin though. Stock front is like 22mm but is hollow.

CAI + Speedbooster + Throtle body spacer is way to go. surprisingly TB spacer makes car run smother while changing gear and gives more power on top end.

xenonkuraz
22-07-2010, 09:55 PM
^ have you got a TB spacer in your car? I know they're working well on Civic Si's but I'm afraid to buy one in case of a CEL. If an aftermarket intake can give me a CEL I'm sure a TB spacer will also. Otherwise the Helix ones look real good. As for speed booster, I'd love one but can't justify spending 300+ for one.

Some ass swiped the side of my rear bumper in a parking lot yesterday.

Time for a new kit

Dahhhh that happened to me about a year ago, was parked at the station, someone, whilst reversing out of their spot, rammed my rear end and completely smashed my passenger side rear.

HAd to pay insurance excess and get it fixed :(

Because my Civic head unit is slightly fried (OEM) and Honda want to charge $1100 to fix, i was thinking of getting the Double Din replacement and a new unit.

I believe that the double din FD kit has a 7" slot. There are unit's out there that are 5.8" or 4.3" in size. Do these Double Din FD consoles require a 7" unit or do they come with various adapters that you can use to put other sized units in?????

Has anyone got the Double Din and have installed a unit? i need one with iPod/iPhone, subwoofer/amplifier and bluetooth connectivity and under $500. Deosn't have to play DVD or have a touchscreen (these are optional)

I pulled out the #3 fuse labelled "IG1 ACG" so I could use my multimeter and see if it was the right fuse that I wanted to tap into. After putting the original fuse back in, the fuel pump light is constantly lit up!

The car starts and all, unsure whether it actually goes or not as I'm too scared to try.

Have I totally screwed it up?

reset the ecu by removing the battery and leave it for 10 minutes
should solve the issue

I'll try that now. Do you mean leave it 'out' instead of in, or are you referring to something else?

Will I have to do this every time I remove the fuse #3?

Wouldn't this also reset my radio as well? I might need to find the code for that... where is it normally? =\

OH IT WAS AN EXPERIANCE>!!!
had a girl in the front and a girl in the back.. and it was terrible.. FML! never again will i have a person in the back seats..
i felt like kicking them out and putting a NO FAT CHICK's CAR WILL SCRAPE sticker on it.. even tho the girls weight less then 60 each..

drove with a mate in the front.. and it was ok.. still scrubs a bit.. but bearable..

TBH.. x9.5 is too wide on the rear. if u can get a x9" with 1 or 2 mm less poke then mine you'll be laughing. x8.5 +25 at the front is BOSS

HAVING SAID THAT.. ive dont a shit load of work to my car to make those x9.5's with 225/35 fit..

but.. x9.5 +30 and at my height.. no inner clearance issues.. just the outter.

just take the back seats out. **** it.

I just had a look under the car and near the rear driver side wheel there is a muffler that looks like a hotdog, and about halfway under the car theres a smaller barrel looking resonator...

man talk about sound/emmission control.

which one did you remove? should I remove both?

I noticed on the J's fd2r catback exhaust they've made it a straight pipe where the hotdog is meant to be but kept the smaller resonator just after the cat...

Just a redback one for $100. Pretty much wasted my money cutting out the old one the day before. Oh well atleast I know now and not wonder what it would be like lol. I'm contemplating taking the little resonator out to see what effect that will give.

Also I'm a bit concerned about this...I saw the resonator he gave me had a louvered core but he flipped it in reverse saying it won't affect flow any more than a perforated core...I took his word for it but felt cheated lol.

I've heard heaps of people say that they don't have any problems with headlights...but how bad would the additional fogs be?
