[black8thgen]

[aznboiio1]

[ekay1]

Mines jumping between 9-10, gonna be higher now that its summer and air con is going to be on ><

[threesix]

honda claim 4.6 for mine and ive never got under 5. even with the stock set up. i was getting around 5.5 with the stock wheels.

with my heavy rims im getting an average of 5.8's atm. 50,000ks have been done.

"Honda will plant six trees per year for every Civic Hybrid sold in Australia, for three years."

i wonder how my 18 trees are going? bahaha.

edit. math! lol

[curtis265]

Hi guys what you think of this fd? I told him I'd be interested if he he took off the mugen sticker and type r badges. But what you guys think of the wing and the hood? Still rice? Worth telling him to take off? Just thought I'd post here since I'd get more responses!

[ekay1]

The car looks fine man, just the rims need a replacement :P. Its your car dude, you decide whether you like it not, not others lol. The term "rice" is seen differently by everyone, do whatever you think looks nice.

16k seems like a good price yeah? If I don't dig the parts I guess i can always sell em off.

[ekay1]

16k is cheap man lol. If you have any intentions of selling the visors, tell me =P

[dee-y]

16k is cheap man lol. If you have any intentions of selling the visors, tell me =P

I like the visors but probs would change back to stock hood

[ekay1]

Fair enough. The hood looks nice though... your preference

[dee-y]

I'll go see the car on the weekend and make my mind up then! Might look better in person

[ekay1]

Cars look better in person imo :P Nothing like a nice car sitting in your view

[curtis265]

I like all the mods on it except for the type r badging, bit wanky.

love the hood.

it also needs a front mugen kit by the looks of it..

[ekay1]

It doesnt seem to have a bodykit on it though =\

[dee-y]

nop def doesn't. Don't really want one either, think after I drop it it'll look great

[eNGee]

my car has started to get real hot under the bonnet every time i drive it... i'm a little concerned... it's only done 33000kms and serviced not too long ago.... exhaust (muffler only) was installed a month ago, could this be contributing to the problem?

[black8thgen]

check ur coolant levels

[fitme]

^ any chance you passed market city yesterday? around 3:30...

[dee-y]

Just curious are there any ecu upgrades for a fd1 or fd2? If so are they a bang for buck mod? And how much? I'm very familiar with VW tunes but not so much for Honda.

D

[Stig]

so no one has any stock fd speakers they wanna sell to me? lol

[ekay1]

Well vtec screamer, its turning into a lounge/fd section at the moment lol quite enjoyable when your bored :P BTW does anyone know if 17x9+17 will fit on the fd? Like clear the caliper? Thanks!!!!

[aero]

^ they will clear the calipers easy, but will be a lot of poke. need a good amount of guard work, tyre stretch and camber to pull that off


^ wtf, isn't this a thread for mods to FD Civics? not a lounge you know people...if you want to chat, chat on msn or something, such a waste of data on this thread.

this is the poor season. nobody has any money for mods. come tax return season again, and im sure this thread will have actual mods posted. lol

[aznboiio1]

anyone here know, were i can get a genuine mugen 09 kit for fd?

[ekay1]

Just figured that 17 offset makes it easier >< my bad LOL. Im going for 17x9+38 offset all round =) See how it goes.

[eNGee]

this is the poor season. nobody has any money for mods. come tax return season again, and im sure this thread will have actual mods posted. lol

lol. I think mods for the FD civic have been well n truly covered. Bring on the next gen civics!

[eeKayFouR]

u need a lil more offset than 38 mang.. ima get mid/high 20s for my next set

[ekay1]

Thing is i want some practicality when driving lol I'm already shitting myself of the 17x9+38 scrubing guards like mad and looking like a nut LOL.

[aero]

+38 will be ok. but only just. get some 215s stretched tyres over the 9" rims and that should cover u from outer scrubbing.

[ekay1]

Ive got tyres in 225/45/17 lying in my garage already =\ plus the car aint really dumped, its just on tein s techs

[FallenAngel]

anyone here know, were i can get a genuine mugen 09 kit for fd?

are you after the lips that everyone has or the proper full on mugen type r kit?\

Genuine mugen lips will cost you about 2300 from jdmyard just for the front side and rear.

Not sure if you can get the genuine mugen type r kit.

[curtis265]

^ wtf, isn't this a thread for mods to FD Civics? not a lounge you know people...if you want to chat, chat on msn or something, such a waste of data on this thread.

Calm down Charlie Brown! If this shaped your internet then you shouldn't be on a car forum.

it's been a lounge for quite some time now unfortunately. If you have technical questions they won't be ignored, don't worry about that.

hey guys, Im looking to get an ipod/aux/bluetooth adapter for my 06 FD1.

I need to know something though, by any chance does our OEM head unit have a CD changer harness plug at the back of it?
I believe that the FD2 have CD stacker with their OEM head unit.

[Stig]

no lol, the cd stacker you speak of is inbuilt

[MasterPHO]

yeah I know that but I saw a DIY that had a harness plug at the back of it. here's the pics (note: its the white plug).
The Adapter I'm planning to get requires this plug at the back of my OEM Head unit.
So yeah Im just wondering if out FD1 has it.

I assume you have the facelift model then. Currently there are only the mugen lips for the facelifted version but i dont think anyone has brought them over yet.

[DuffyFD]

Does anyone have a picture/ desciption of how to run their Amp power wire through their engine bay, I'm have a world of fun trying to get the power wire into the cabin from the engine bay.

I've looked through 8th Gen and here and haven't found muchos.

ej20i mentioned a hole, which I have found, above the clutch (my civic is manual) - but I'm wondering how the f to run the wire through the engine bay, and how to access that hole from the other side.

Any help / links would be appreciated.
Cheers

[fitme]

^ you run the cable inside the left fender (battery side) then look for the rubber grommet where the side indicator light harness goes inside the car, then punch a hole to run inside the car

[black8thgen]

use the hole above ur clutch, its the easiest - just get a friend to stand over the engine bay and use like a long wire and tie it to the cable and just work ur way through the hole =]. make sure u avoid any hot metal engine bits lol

[ekay1]

hmm.... the new kit looks better on black cars. Haha stig and his dumping cars xD

[DuffyFD]

nah, you really do need it lower.

FYI - spent from 5pm to 10pm tonight wiring up amp and sub completely. Loving drum & bass again and not having the dorrs rattle coz all the bass is coming from the sub in the booty

[liquid23]

yeah that is my car, getting the roof black as well.
Once i sort out my freaking loud exhaust i will lower it =)

[fitme]

17x9 +42 will fit? no scrubing?

[iou]

Looks pretty clean so far. Nice work! What wheels are u thinking if getting and what kind specs will they be?

Thanks. Any recommendation for the 17" alloy?
My "eagle eyes", the one i like the most.

[ekay1]

17x9 +42 will fit? no scrubing?

Im guessing itll scrub slightly, depending on tyres too. Im getting 17x9+38 with slight camber, and rolled guards, hope its all good.

[curtis265]

Not usually a fan of aftermarket lights but those look good.

What sort of wheel designs do you like?

[aero]

17x9 +42 will fit? no scrubing?

May need spacers

[ekdez]

May need spacers

will need spacers.

[ekay1]

when will you not need spacers? +38 should be fine yeah...?

[ekdez]

New wheels are exciting :)
I might try the toyos or perellis this time round :)

[ekay1]

Ive got a set of wheels heading my way ^^ hope it arrives soon and it fits....

[Stig]

oh my god, stock suspension feels like shit, floating like a boat here, and its soo high!

lol @ will yue

[fitme]

stig ygpm



Did you pay through paypal? if so, try get your money back through paypal manpaid direct deposit to his bank account....its only $160 for a 2x dc5s rims

anyway i was thinking maybe the scammer owe or bought something to mr Y and use his account details to pay-off his dept...

this is how the scam works

scammer bought or owe something to mr Y
scammer sell a bogus item at firesports
me bought the item
scammer send me the account details of Mr Y
me payed the ammount to Mr Y

Mr Y might be innocent or have no idea where the money came from..

Anyone know where I could get A new exhaust to fit the rr bumper? Without using a dummy for the left?

[aero]

any/most exhaust shops would be able to do it

[asgr8]

Hey guys, i am overseas at the moment and Honda stuff is comparably cheap than in Australia. I already have body kit, HID and rear wing installed in the car.

I am looking for advice on a good mod which is not very expensive and portable in luggage.

will appreciate your help. :)

i am thinking of exhaust or double din dash

[Shimian]

get the double din dash and a headunit. You can buy your exhaust over here. Then we cruise again

[fitme]

^ o ****!....thanks stig

[xenonkuraz]

bring as much fd parts over and sell them to us :)

[ej20i]

ALSO SHOULD I PAINT THE MUGEN GRILLE WHITE OR BLACK ?? WITH RED EMBLEM I CANNOT DECIDE ON MY OWN !!!

[asgr8]

get the double din dash and a headunit. You can buy your exhaust over here. Then we cruise again

i am in Pakistan atm and stuff is cheap but i have a stayover in malaysia ( KL ) as well. So i am gonna compare prices and then buy. I am thinking about double din and headunit.

How much did you pay for DDin and HU installation ?

[Stig]

Nothing for me, i diy mine :) but the DD cost me like 210

[DuffyFD]

DD cost me 150, and most places want 150-180 for install. It's an easy DIY though.

[ekdez]

fk buying wheels around this time of the year with shipping from the states and customs is gonna be a long wait :(

[ekay1]

Im still waiting for mine =( expected to arrive 22nd december.... im starting to doubt it now.

[ekdez]

some of you may have seen this.. but for the others :)

What the f...... thats just ......wow....

[asgr8]

Hey guys so i went today to see double din. I just had a look over the internet so i wasnt sure what parts i am looking at.

Anyway, i took few pics and i need your help now. Please let me know if this part is the right one. It doesnt come with anything else and i can get it for around 100 AUD. What do you guys think..

[asgr8]

i also want to replace all lights inside car like overhead lights etc to LED ones.. What are the specs of the LED and sizes i am looking at. I am overseas now so cant really check. Will appreciate help from guys who changed theirs :)

[Stig]

the double din looks like the right one, however there is two types on the market, a replica one thai made one and a genuine fd2r one

I think its Thai Made as its cheap.

[aerithyn]

Guys need some advice. If I get the rr kit everything in white what color should I paint the grill ?? White with red emblem or black with red emblem??

I paid about $130 for mine like 3 yrs ago. undoing it is easy but i paid someone like $80 to solder/wire up the harness cos i have no clue in that area. $100 AUD is cheap. I dont think theres much diff between replica and genuine. Maybe the fitting?

That's the one I have, and no problems with it whatsoever.

[Stig]

i found this interesting


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuKGjgowKL4&feature=related

[Shimian]

just want to confirm. The OBD2 port for FD2 is located on drivers side, on the bottom left (away from pedals) and kinda touching the centre console?

[curtis265]

yes. yu should eb able to find it easily.

stig could u do it? i couldn't when i tried a while back :(

[Shimian]

do we have another obd2 port? or obd1? Theres a port that sits slightly above the accelerator pedal

[ej20i]

thats the DBW connection

Thanks guys. I'll be buying it soon then and bring it back. Now need some advice for what head unit to buy which will work flawlessly with iphone plus bluetooth etc

Shimian which one you bought and how you finding it ?

[asgr8]

Hey guys need an opinion,

I found a guy who is selling these angel eyes in the pics for around 130 dollars. He said he used them for like one year and he bought them originally for around 250 dollars and they are korean and that's why better quality. ( he said Korean are better than the Chinese counter parts , i am not sure if he is being honest or not )

He said that everything works perfectly and nothing is wrong. What do you guys think about this deal ? Is it a good bargain or i am better off buying new ? How much are the new ones anyway ( around 250 ithink ? )

Hi guys. Some of you might be familiar with my fd hunt and I've got a quick question. Firstly that white one with the CF hood sold.... but there's anther one I'm eying off with a mugen kit. However he doesn't have the stock bumpers. Should this be concerning at all? Can stock bumpers be picked up for cheap if I was to part out and stock it in the future? Just worried about selling it in future. Plus it seems logical most ppl would keep their stockies.

I thought there were only lip kits for the Mugen Civic bodykit. Don't think there are full bumper replacements.

But anyway, I would have thought it would not be worth while to remove a bodykit after putting it on and ppl usually sell them off with the car. I would anyway.

that sounds suspiciously low. ebay sell these for about $350 +$50 for shipping. u should check them urself to see if its all functioning properly. those angel eye headlights do have some problems

I personally don't mind. Will get a better idea when I see the car on the weekend anyway! Just thought obviously it would appeal to a wider audience if it was stock. Still tossing up between a fd or a CL9 though...

[DuffyFD]

Agree with Aero. I bought the same set but the CCFL rings weren't all working. And I paid $150.

[aero]

if it is just a mugen lip kit, then u wont have to worry about stock bumpers coz the mugen kit does not substitute the whole bumpers, they are only screwed on top of the stock ones.

Yeah I actually thought that but he said he didn't have stockies. Will find out on weekend anyway

[curtis265]

CL9? what are you after?

the CL9 is much more car than the civic IMO, try test driving both and looking at all the features etc.

[dee-y]

Seeing both this weekend. I'm personally leaning towards a CL9 at this point (cheaper initial price, thus have a bit of cash to play with) We'll see how it goes!

[aero]

k24 ftw man! but if u do get an fd, we can do a bris meet lol

Whichever car I get I'dvery keen for a meet and photoshoot or whatever!

[curtis265]

dislike :( That looks terribly

[aero]

lol there's nothing wrong with it man. its not too bad. take the wing off n put some wider wheels, then slam it and it will be fine :thumbsup:

also, u should be fine about the oem bumper thing. its just a lip kit which should be able to be removed... unless its been bonded there permanently

[DuffyFD]

Yeah nothing wrong, just get rid of the spoiler first, and look for some coil-overs or springs to get it sitting lower.

If i were to buy another FD, it would be in white.

[dee-y]

I actually would rather a stock fd so I can do what I want with it. Tbh that fd isn't the way I would make mine haha just saw it on carsales and gave it a thought since it seemed a good price. Still leaning towards a cl9 hah. Any meets coming up in brissy?

[DuffyFD]

problem is when you buy it stock, is you have to pay premium for every mod you make, and you never get it back when you resell. If you buy a slightly modded car, it saves you heaps of money for modding

[dee-y]

Yer that's true but I don't think I woulda put a sound system and kit on it tbh. Just dumped and new shoes!

[aerithyn]

ordered a new number plate... if you wana count that as a mod ... [ FD RR ] in a nice white to suit my white ^^

[.k.]

anyone wanna buy these pm me

[ekay1]

I received 1 of my 4 rims today... spewing --"

[black8thgen]

why =[............

[aero]

How does that work? Weren't they sent together? Not another scam is it? o.o

[ekay1]

Apparently they were on separate courier trucks. Missed the second delivery . Test fitted it, seems nice :) Wish i had the set......

[aero]

Pics plz!

[ekay1]

I dont have a pic of the trial fit, but do have a picture of the rim. All i'll say is 17x9+38 in gunmetal on a white car.

[ekdez]

i always receive mine in 1 or 2's LOL.. avoid import duties :)

[fitme]

ekay1 what tire size are you gonna use?

[ekay1]

Since my car aint dumped, im using 225/45/17 to fill up the gaps to make it look better and smoother ride. Rims so close to strut tower ><

[ej20i]

anyone going to the JDMST meet on thursday night?

[ekay1]

^ nice car dude! whend you get the Type R seats??

[dee-y]

Hi guys! Just bailed on that fd with the mugen kit I posted earlier. Think I'm gonna stick with a k24 ha, saw the car and it looks the goods. I trust the car is fine but does anyone know if a RACQ inspection is worth it? Or any other garages which provide a better service?

D

[eeKayFouR]

will 18x9.5 +30 fit on an fd?

[ekdez]

On the rear. With 225/35 and -3.5 degrees camber (y) and a lot of guard work :)
Doubt the front will fit

[Stig]

anything can fit if you have the money

[Stig]

oh shiet

[black8thgen]

[aero]

will 18x9.5 +30 fit on an fd?

http://i54.tinypic.com/sc9w6c.jpg

i was looking at going 17x9.5 +30 for an extra set of wheels on the same 215/40 tyres, but now insurance and car rego have taken away my moneyz :(

anyway...

[.k.]

so 18x9.5 is gg :(

[ej20i]

still cant decide!!!!!
LOL!
maybe i'll keep it and get CBR

[aero]

so 18x9.5 is gg :(

not gg. inner clearance is ok. only 1.5mm further in that my 17x9 +35.. but the thing is it has more poke. and if u try to camber that in to make it flush, u will probably end up hitting ur suspension.

[.k.]

true.. anyways, u wanna goto jdmst 2nite? we swapping wheels?

[.k.]

u gotta fb me lol my phones fkn dead

[aero]

ZOMG. lol been trying to call u. didnt know the jdmst meet was tonight. wont be able to make it.
i can still swap wheels if u wanna go there with the rpf1s.. im free til 4.30pm. just go on msn

[eeKayFouR]

umm go on msn now? :)

[Atjo]

oh shiet


Henry, don't sell your FD and buy rims hehe i want to see how bad the poke will be

[black8thgen]

Tim give 'me ur modulo lips =]

[ej20i]

hhehehehehhehehehehhehe
spacers would look nice on the car eh??

[black8thgen]

yer they would haha... but give me ur modulo stuff first =P

[aero]

[Stig]

bottoming out ftw, hurts when it happens, hurts less if its the chassis and not the kit haha

[aero]

I'd rather dmg the kit than the chasis. The lip kit already has so many scrapes and atone chips. I may just take it off sometime so I can go lower

[threesix]

i like your normal rims better then the BBS's. no offence .k

[DuffyFD]

i like your normal rims better then the BBS's. no offence .k

+1.

BBS would be better with a black / white civi

[.k.]

i like your normal rims better then the BBS's. no offence .k

None taken man, each to their own. I'm trying 2 sell them so we just swapped to see what they'd look like =]

[threesix]

yeah, ill be selling my rims soon too.

[.k.]

17x8 +35

[Stig]

those rota's fill the guards nicely

[.k.]

yeah who said 18x9.5 wouldn't fit :)

rears were such a bitch.. adjusting / readjusting.. smoke pouring from tyres cos rubbing hardout lol

[aznboiio1]

hey Aero, wat specs are your rpf1s?

thinking of getting em, if i cant afford re30s =[

[aero]

17x9 +35. looks good, but in hindsight I think I would have gotten +22

[aero]

those rota's fill the guards nicely

fills up the guards too much. they have 235/40 tyres on them and im scrubbing everywhere. at first, the rear wheels had smoke coming off them because of so much scrubbing on the rear guards.. so i had to set my coils on the rear to maximum height... and im still scrubbing lol! i think that 215/40 wheels will help the scrubbing a lot. coupled with some camber arms.

[DuffyFD]

those rotas look ****ing perfect!

Love!

[ekdez]

ARGH! i miss my BBS now! LOL
