very nice ride man! i like that rr rear lip.
is ur car still on stock height?


nahh it woud clash with the chrome strips

he could black out the chrome strip and then get orange pinstripe decal!! lol

[ej20i]

curtis, photoshop for me pls :)

thank u!!!

what abt blue lipping on my jazz's wheel??
anyone??

[curtis265]

The lip doesn't look good.. unless you do the entire rim but leave the spokes white maybe? I think i've used the wrong shade of blue too - looks like painters tape
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/DSC_0184-1copy.jpg

Orange striping - go for it.

[black8thgen]

lip on the rims needs to be thinner than that, i rkn it would look alright

orange stripe looks nice =D

[aero]

orange vtec sticker looks nice too

[Joseph]

Yea still on stock height, because i'm staying in city....
I'm afraid it's hard for me when driving up and down in car park :(

[PLY44]

has anyone changed their cluster colour to red?

[ej20i]

orange stripping is a go for me, now how do i do that?
can u do the mirror and door handle as well curtis?
the blue lip i was thinking was way smaller than that like a ring
i was thinking like 2 mm only
thanks for that tho man

[Stig]

do the vti have the same lug nuts as the vti-l and sport?

[Joseph]

Any suspension do you guys suggest? Not too low
I plan to change buddy club 17" rims later...

[eNGee]

do the vti have the same lug nuts as the vti-l and sport?

Yes, lug nuts are all the same for the Civic Vti, Vti-L & Sport (FD1/FD2).

Honda Civic Sport Modulo review by Carsales - http://www.carsales.com.au/reviews/2010/small-passenger/honda/civic/honda-civic-sport-modulo-22041

[Stig]

oo i see they have the HPF rims on

[aero]

Price Guide (recommended price before statutory and delivery charges): $32,290
Options fitted to test car (not included in above price): $3925 for Modulo parts)

that's getting very close to type r money

[curtis265]

wad? that's still 10k difference!

anyway the bodykit really makes the car stand out, compared to the prefacelift FD's anyway

Tim i'll get to your photochp when i get a sec.

[aero]

its only $3.8k away from an fn2r

[black8thgen]

are kumho ku31s decent tyres? as in.... not noisy or anything?

[ekay1]

are kumho ku31s decent tyres? as in.... not noisy or anything?

Apparently theyre a bit noisy and last around 20,000km from reviews. However, theyre bang for the buck and the reviews show decent grip, even in the wet. Grip and price is the upside, wear and noise is downside IMO from the reviews. Im gonna fetch some when i can.

[aero]

they wear better than the ku36s lol. and like ekay1 said; great bang for buck, which is why i got em. road noise isnt that big of a deal. i used to have a set of cheapo maxxis tyres on my old wheels which were awfully loud. compared to them the ku31s do well.

[Stig]

ive had ku31 on my 19's, not a fan, annoyed the crap outta me due to road noise

[eNGee]

Bridgestone RE001's or Falken ZE912's are also decent tyres you could consider.

I've got ZE912's and they're pretty good in terms of grip, noise and price.

[black8thgen]

Hmmm. Falken 452s or kumho ku31?

[Stig]

452 imo

[black8thgen]

how are they for grip in the wet?

[threesix]

just out of interest.....

has anyone timed there 0-100 after a few breathing mods??

[aero]

fk452s are much better than the ku31s, but do cost extra.

[fitme]

anyone changed their reverse light?? kinda weak..

[black8thgen]

I did. Changed to LED. It was actualy worse than stock lol

[xenonkuraz]

got my engine

[ekdez]

Hmmm. Falken 452s or kumho ku31?


$400-450 per wheel to $180-200 per wheel.. you get what you pay for.

[aero]

perhaps that price is applicable to larger sizes, but catalogue here had the fk452s in 215/40/17 for $250-$300/ tyre @ bob jane a couple months ago.
ask around, black8thgen. u'll prob find some good deals especially if u got good connections.

[black8thgen]

I got quoted 170 for f452 today...... 160 for ku31

[ekay1]

Bridgestone RE001's or Falken ZE912's are also decent tyres you could consider.

I've got ZE912's and they're pretty good in terms of grip, noise and price.

8th gen, the more you pay, the better quaity you will generally get lol Maybe you should make a budget.

[aero]

I got quoted 170 for f452 today...... 160 for ku31

Great price for the falkens! I'll get a set of them after the ku31s wear out if I can find them up here at around that price

[howy]

I got quoted 170 for f452 today...... 160 for ku31

Oooo... I need to get some new tyres too.
Where'd you get that quote from? :)

[xenonkuraz]

i vouch for 452's. quiet and nice aggressive looking pattern ;)

[curtis265]

It's probably a bit much IMO.
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/DSC_0167-1copycopy.jpg

[ekay1]

yeah.... slightly over done. Not too sure about the mirror lol

[black8thgen]

I want a modulo lip now lol

[aero]

door handles and mirrors are a bit too much. just the chrome strip and vtec sticker in orange looks good

[ssllyy]

So I was in Thailand =D

:thumbsup: ?

[black8thgen]

LOL NICE!! what kit??

[Stig]

i cannot believe you actually managed to bring that back on the plane LOL

[ekay1]

wow wtf is that LOL

[curtis265]

lol that's hilarious!

btw guys i went for some track driving today... It's hard lol! oh and i got heaps of liftoff oversteer too! was fun. Now i need some coilys, swaybarrs, new wheels/tyres and a set of brembos.

Should set me straight.

[fitme]

ey is that allowed ?? thinking of buying a kit as well overseas and bring it personally...

[howy]

considering you can bring ski's/snowboards/surfboards...
it should be ok, you might have to pay a little extra for several pieces of 'oversize' luggage but weight-wise it shouldn't be a problem.

only thing is... you gotta hope it doesn't get crushed or lost :/

[ssllyy]

What howy said...
Pro Tip: individually wrap the pieces, the two side skirts were stacked up on each other without being individually wrapped. Good thing its on the under underside of the skirt.

Its not a Type R, Mugen, or Modulo kit. I'll give you guys more info once I get it painted and fitted and a few :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:. Dont want to get too excited yet.

It was pretty crap getting it through customs, they were being difficult, despite me having all the receipts and being cooperative. Had to fork out even more $$$ after all that I had to deal with in getting it here.

As for weight. I had it all planned out. Why do you think I only have a small duffle bag on my cart? Sacrifices were made.

[ekdez]

thats funny as :D

try walking through with 4 wheels haha

[Stig]

ings+1?

[chan 87]

lol that's hilarious!

You went to barbagallo today? :P

[ej20i]

anyone interested in my HID kit?

[black8thgen]

what u planning to do when u sell it? btw u selling ur modulo lip?

[curtis265]

ssllyy, we'll be looking forward to seeing your kit. What material's it made of?

chan, i went to AHG skidpan and went on that little track there. Great fun it was

[ekay1]

Curtis, what mods you got on the car? Man i wanna track the car but so pricey lol. INGS +1........? for real? genuine??

[Joseph]

Any one interested with my civic LOL

[ssllyy]

ings+1?
What makes you say that? =D

Replica for sure. Its made from FG.

Just had a friend come over and give me a bit of advice. It copped a bit of bumps on the way in, so it needs a bit of work. Still a bit rough, but atleast it lines up pretty well. He says, it'll take a bit of work, but its doable, though he wouldnt want to spend time on it. Good thing I enjoy doing this stuff.

I'm gonna DIY the filling and sanding parts. Then I'll provably do the prime myself before shooting it off to the panel beaters to have it painted and baked. Might take me a few months to do it properly, i.e. with mounting and taking off, and measuring over and over again to get the lines and gaps done properly.

[curtis265]

ahh FG :( oh well, goodluck with that.

ekay, i'm a stocke except for different tyres (RE001)

lol. Just really want to go mess around and see what it could do really.

and if i wanted it to be a track car, it needs a lot of work - handles like a booat in stock form, rofling all over the place around corners.. I thinik the driver needed more exp too, i rkn i can't drive for shit - it's v. different too video games

[ekdez]

19's or 20's?

[aero]

Getting another set already, dez? I say 19s.

[ekdez]

yeah lol.. maybe vip modular's, talking to the warehouse atm..
they really nice, and wanna get the wheel perfect for your car etc..
they asked me for future plans etc.. like BBK and all, real customer service!!

anyhow, i got this done today.. rather depressed, but happy at the same time
man i thought i was cool with -4 or higher camber.. im just a pussy with -3.3 LOL ={

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/4682/img0146di.jpg

[chan 87]

ssllyy, we'll be looking forward to seeing your kit. What material's it made of?

chan, i went to AHG skidpan and went on that little track there. Great fun it was

Ahh.. maybe we could arrange to go together for the next skidpan :D Can't wait to try out the FN2 there hehe

[Stig]

hmm i really should get a wheel alignment, done 32k km, gone through like 10-12 sets of rims, 4 sets of suspension and never got a wheel alignment... LOL

[black8thgen]

LOL. Are u serious.... I think mine is a bit off after just one change of suspension =.=..

[Stig]

car is still going straight so don't touch it if ant broke haha

[ekdez]

your tire wear and tear might be uneven though.. IF you kept them on for longer then 1000 km's hah :D

[black8thgen]

18x8 +38 18x9 +35 Matt gold ce28s or work 11r in white 18x8.5 +38?? helpp!!

[aero]

http://www.procivic.com/pages-product_car_part_info/category-73_147/product-334/index.html

[.k.]

pretty sure 999 sells the short shifter.. they are trader on here so pm/call

[fitme]

any idea how thick is the speaker spacer i need for the rear and front speaker??

[ekdez]

has anyone opt'd to use a ipod via aux to play music through their stock head unit?

just wondering if there is any problems or static or if its worth me buying a ipod.. i simply cbf to keep burning cd's

[ej20i]

yea i did for like 3 days
but its good clean sound

[black8thgen]

ive been doing it ever since i got my fd lol.... its perfectly fine =]

[ekay1]

Its alot more convenient until the ipod runs out of battery lol

[aero]

ipod connection ftw!. dont have to worry about ipod dying when u have an ipod charger connected to ur cigarette lighter :thumbsup:

[ekay1]

Hm.... Gotta get myself one of those.

[black8thgen]

yeh just have the charger and aux cable plugged in =P.. looks bit messy but does the job lols

[ekay1]

Thats going to destroy the battery life in your ipod lol

[aero]

doesnt matter. the ipod only ever stays in the car lol.

[ekay1]

Fair enough then lol

[black8thgen]

yeah this ipod is only for the car, and yes the battery is destroyed hahah but meh got an iphone for backup =P

[ekdez]

might invest in one then , with that car charger stand thing.

[black8thgen]

getting my ce28s this weekend hopefully! if seller replies and the rims are in good enough order lols =]

[threesix]

haha. i thought i was the only one in the western world without an ipod.

[.k.]

why would it ruin battery? only plug it in when it gets low not all the time =]

ive been running aux with my sgs for ages works fine dez. obviously not perfect but adequate

[aero]

so sexyyy

http://i54.tinypic.com/174z5s.jpg

http://i55.tinypic.com/feq4yg.jpg

i want a set of those ccw classic wheels from the states!

[ekdez]

buy now if you want them..!! $AU is strong :)
SEMA is slowing them up a bit tho.. im inquiring on some wheels there atm.
i wonder what suspension his running to allow im to run so low and no fk his kit up.
and thats different.. front mugen kit only.

[Stig]

if i had to guess ild say some very low profile tyres, like a 35 profile on a 17" rim?

[curtis265]

holy crap that's nice! except for the boot being misaligned

<3 stretch tyres

[ekay1]

they look bigger than 17 dont they?

[ekdez]

they look like 18", can anyone confirm?

[xenonkuraz]

nice !!!

[liquid23]

he has mud guards on so he can't put the sides and the rear on, or he just likes the front of the mugen look not the whole kit

[threesix]

****in hot!!. look like 17's to me.

[ekay1]

Hmm... in the first picture, the wheels look like they fit in nicely with the wheel arc. My 17s with slightly high profile tyres dont fill up the width of the wheel arc.

[black8thgen]

what rims r on ur dc5 ekay1?

[ekay1]

SSR type C's

[ej20i]

Did u get ur ce28s Ryan??

[curtis265]

hay guys, if a car battery dies does it become 'weakened'? And how long should it be left to idle for to charge 'properly'?

[aero]

they look like 18", can anyone confirm?

wheel and tyre specs are:
17x9 +28
205/40

and here are more pics lol...

http://i52.tinypic.com/w148ex.jpg

http://i55.tinypic.com/2ephrgy.png

[black8thgen]

that looks fkn craaazy lol

and nah tim not yet,, the seller hasnt replied to me in a while.. so i cant go check em out, bro im gna send u a pm in a bit lol

[curtis265]

I wish we had DRL's.

[ekay1]

wow LOL. Those 17s look huge on the car. Dam nice car, wish Aus roads could be better so cars could be dumped more.

[aero]

got a wheel alignment done today. camber on the rear read -3.52 on the left and -3.71 on the right. quite a bit for just natural camber lol.

[ekay1]

Thats some nice camber your running there LOL. how about the front? is it positive?

[threesix]

im running -00.38 and 00.40 at the front and -3.07 and -3.01 at the rear :( thought it would have been more.

[ekay1]

What rims you running threesix? Specs? suspension? I havent got my wheel alignment yet lol

[threesix]

18x8 18x9 SSR vienna's.

just running pedders springs. theres a little tuck going on.

[ekay1]

Any scrubbing issues?

[threesix]

all guards rolled. no scrubbing with a full car.

[ekay1]

offset?

[threesix]

****ing hail!!!!!! anyone deal with insurance companys when it comes to hail?

[ekdez]

did u get done by the hail? pretty intense hey

[aznboiio1]

does anyone here know if the Injen Cai + RBC Intake works with the Auto FD2 sports?

[curtis265]

ouch, canberra got hailed upon?!
IT's like.. almost summer already.

How bad's damage threesix? Take all your aftermarket stuff off when you get the car inspected (unless you're parts are insured..)

[ekay1]

Hey curtis, does it cost more to insure aftermarket parts?

[curtis265]

Pretty sure it would do, Your car might be more attractive to thieves if you have a nice set of wheels included in ur insu policy.

[ekay1]

How will theives find my insurance details =P

[curtis265]

LOL sry i mean that insu will recognise that afermarket bits are biat for thieves, which increases the probabilty of u makinga claim and all

[ekay1]

LOL got me worried for a second hahaha. True that

[threesix]

They were the size of 20 cent pieces in Mitchell. Id say I’ve got about 10 - 15 small dents on my roof and the same on my bonnet.

The only aftermarket things on my car is wheels and springs. Both that the insurance company know about. Although they don’t know how wide my 18’s are. :o

I really want to punch mother nature in the ****ing throat.

[threesix]

offset?

offset is +38

[curtis265]

hmm i think that may be a repairable writeoff. If you're car's less than a certain age, you might get a brand new one... only if it's written off that is. If your insu company knows you have those wheels then you'll probably have to give your car in with the wheels and all too - hav a chat with them when they go inspect it

Post some pics.

[threesix]

whoa!! that would be nice..

i really dont think its bad enough for a write off. there's a ton of panel shops close by so i'll check it out. its a 2006 model.

i'll post some pics when i grab my camera.

[curtis265]

ahhh probably not then ey :(

Some companies policies that if ur car's written off within the first x. years, it'll be replaced with new... but 06 is a bit old unfortunately :(

Good luck with all the quotes and all.

obtw, chances are there will be quite a queue forming for the beaters, so be quick

[threesix]

rang dent king and he said he had a TON of calls. its gonna be a wait. spose hail is good for some people.

AND i got my short Rays lock nuts in the mail and thier still to long for my plates to fit over the nuts on my Viennas. :( :(

anyone want to buy a set?? never been used.

[black8thgen]

What colour?

[threesix]

a really dope blue

[ekay1]

Arent all nuts the same size? like width wise though. unless you go with project kics ones

[fitme]

anyone changed their rear speakers?...how is it?..i changed mine to coaxials and it sounds shit..

[vlixcool]

i ditched my rear speaker lol

[Stig]

did you replace the fronts? replaced all 4 and it sounds awesome

[fitme]

stig...havent changed it yet. i just tested the rears, like setting the fader full rear and it sounds crap...anyway ill change the fronts this weekend...

[ekdez]

oem stock, non i-bass, with the 4 and 6 pwr on 4 trick ftw!

nah i should change them im just lazy :D

[ekay1]

To the fd1 who high beamed me in the sydney last night, nice car! ( if theyre on this forum ).

reckon these are quality? Is PP plastic good, all that I really know is that I don't wanna go with fibreglass.

I've bought from these guys before, and they've been great, I'm curious if anyone knows whether this kit is worthy.

[howy]

I've bought from these guys before, and they've been great, I'm curious if anyone knows whether this kit is worthy.

if i remember correctly PP was meant to be good (flexible and durable), whereas fibre glass can easily break/crack.

[ekay1]

Yup white fd man with HIDS i think. And Duffy, PP is good material, its supposed to be the material of the actual bumper on normal cars. However! ive heard that auto platinum isnt the must trustworthy company. I got my mugen style wing from there for cheap.... quality was S***. The surface of the spoiler was fine, but the corners were horrible as they had dents and slight cracks and you could see the edges as they werent smooth. Took it to the panel beater to get it sprayed at mounted, the plastic was too thin to sand to make it smooth or else there would of been a hole in the corner. Well thats my experience from that company, its cheap though so i guess i cant ask for much lol. Sorry about the ramble! enjoy

[ej20i]

What do you guys think of arc magic winglet??

[ekay1]

Looks hot man! isnt it a defect though

[ej20i]

ir is????y????

[markCivicVti]

Man, haven't been on here for ages.

Been giving the bike all the love. But see the FD sitting looking neglected. Interesting to see how many new suppliers of after-market body kits there are now. Disappointed to see the prices of the headlights haven't changed even with the strong aussie dollar.

I see a few familiar faces here. Aero, K., still got the FDs I see.

[jpestrada115]

thinking of getting my HL retrofitted with HID projectors.:angel: just a bit worried to get defected for this. pics of the actual retrofitted OEM HL borrowed from another forum:

Wow... the road shot is really bright. Maybe you should adjust that or else its going to blind oncoming traffic like mad

[jpestrada115]

Wow... the road shot is really bright. Maybe you should adjust that or else its going to blind oncoming traffic like mad

yeah, it would be adjustable. but as you would see, the cut-off line is so crisp and clean - no light above the cut-off line. therefore, should not blind oncoming traffic. in fact the cut-off line would be a lot better than OEM halogens. meaning the projectors will have little to no glare as compared to the OEM halogen HLs! :D

that's why i'm really tempted to get these babies...

[ekay1]

Fair call there. Just realised how clean the light is. Well hope that theres no dramas with the product if its from overseas or ebay.

[curtis265]

farkyeah! finally some good projectors available for the FD.

It's less likely to be a defect than most of us who are running HID's in the stock housings. You'll be fine.

Retrofit is the way to go.. if anyone's daring to try

[black8thgen]

hids with stock reflectors are freaking blinding on our cars lol, so scary driving past and behind cops......

[DuffyFD]

as i mentioned in another thread, I will be doing this, changing a set of angel eye headlights to have proper HID projectors - The only thing currently stopping me is I need help getting the headlights apart, my oven isn't big enough to fit the headlight.

If there's someone in Sydney who's interested in helping out ... .. :)

[vlixcool]

you don't need an oven, just get heat gun from bunnings.

[curtis265]

hids with stock reflectors are freaking blinding on our cars lol, so scary driving past and behind cops......

Lies, our FD's are actually relly goood - in japan they have them.

Just aim them down a little.

[DuffyFD]

vlixcool - have you done it with a heat-gun to aftermarket lights before? I'm just a bit worried since I know the plastic will be probably a lower quality than the stockers, and I don't want to heat damage or warp the plastic at all.

[JOhnnyFD]

hids with stock reflectors are freaking blinding on our cars lol, so scary driving past and behind cops......

heaps of other cars blind me, blind them back

[DuffyFD]

Will the climate control plug striaght into the same sockets as the normal aircon unit.

Finally not using my parents car anymore.. but the FD is just going to sit there and go to waste :(
and no i didn't intentionally choose this colour, i dislike it - i spent 2.5 yrs driving in FD in this colour..

[aero]

grats on the car man! prob wont be seeing u as much in this section of the forum now, eh?

[ekay1]

Nice car mate! Poor fd getting rejected lol

[threesix]

pics dont work. :(

[curtis265]

nah you will, if you know me, i can't help posting after i read something LOL.

The FD will be getting neglected unfortonately. The lude's to replace the EG we have for my sister to learn driving in... (we've had it for a year and she still hasn't learned...)

and it will go back to being my parent's car... which means it'll be hardly used.

[sirdistik]

[ekay1]

dayums, thats sweet!!

[eNGee]

has anyone here removed the stock resonator intake from their FD?

I've read on this forum some Euros, Accords and Integras removing it to increase engine sound. Some even installing a tube (DIY CAI) and feeding the air to the stock air intake.

it's just that I'm thinking to do it to my car =P

any pro's / con's / feedback would be appreciated ! cheers.

[aero]

18x8 +35 in white =]

is there much dish in the xd9s with those specs?

mines removed, couldnt be bothered putting it back in, makes no difference imo, removed my friends fd2 resonator, was excited to hear the difference, there was no difference LOL

[DuffyFD]

weight reduction ftw ....

[black8thgen]

There was a bit of difference in air box resonator for me at high rev =].
Well that's dim
Uhm at aero: nah man barely any dish. But much better than the 45 offsets n shit =]. Well that's judging from the pictures. I'll get pics up when rims arrive. Long wait =[

I did it. Made the noise. but got heatsoaked very quickly.

God response in the cold and a ncie sound too.

[eNGee]

^^^ icic. awesome, thx for the comments Henry, Ryan & Curtis.

what the heck, i'm gonna give it a shot and see how it goes.

[Shimian]

has anyone tried putting a spare 18" wheel in the spare tyre area? Does it fit? Did a quick measure but it looks tight.

[curtis265]

I'd recommend taking the hose out at the airbox like this: (if you haev the R18 engine). This way you can experiment around a bit - make sure you experience driving in heat first before yuo go remove the whole assembly.
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/roflcurtis/261020091065.jpg

obtw, t he intake arm goes down under the batery to the resonator, and then the actual intake is just next to the battery - if you're handy, you could saw off the resonator and have a makeshift cold air intake...

Food for thought :)

[Shimian]

lol. solved my own problem. decided to pull out the spare and measure up against my 18s. Spare seems slightly bigger.

[black8thgen]

lol wtf thats actually impractical and insane. and actually hella flush.. worse LOL. craaaaazy

[ekay1]

wow flush much? LOL is it just me or do the guards look strange. Btw would 17x9+17 offset clear the caliper?

[curtis265]

rear's been rolled weirdly.

i ilove hellaflush. Gonna do it to my lude one day..

[FDPete]

can understand why people do that..A it looks shite and B how them hell do you drive on those rims?

[ekay1]

Its for looks, stance. The guards have been like rolled.. and pushed inwards? :S The rear is basically sitting on the tyre LOL

[aero]

can't understand why people do that..A it looks shite and B how them hell do you drive on those rims?

im with curtis. i love hellaflush! i think it looks awesome. obviously not very practical, but it looks tough imo.
i would do the same, but im scared of teh popo :(

next set of rims will definitely be more aggressive than my current wheels. maybe along the lines of 17x9 +25 or +22.

[ekay1]

Im going for cr kais in 17x9+38. Hope itll look nice =)

[aero]

do they concave on those specs? will be close to suspension on that offset if u run coils

[black8thgen]

yeh thats pretty tight specs man but gna look pretty good, i doubt he'll get concavity with the cr kais

i just got wheel alignment done and im running -2 degree camber on the rears and -0.6 on the fronts n thats with no camber adjust

rolling on 4 different tyres and 3 diff types of rims atm LOL =.=

[Stig]

cr kai start concaving at 9+44

[ekay1]

do they concave on those specs? will be close to suspension on that offset if u run coils

Yup as stig said, they start from 9' width =). Im running springs, i hope its fine.
