Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[Stig]

it was like 14k for the wreck hence i said if you can find a wrecked fn2r for cheaper then you save heaps, you can prob pick one up for like 10 now considering how much the cars have dropped if its an 07, but i assume you have a 09+ fd so you would need a 09+ fn2r and that would be costly, 6k+ is for other stuff like toda headers, intake, labour etc

modproject and seeker motorsports are the only two places i know of who has done k20 swaps in the fd

[aznboiio1]

LOl why does the eng have to come from a fn, why not another eng in the k series, from like a dc5r or ep3r, or must the swap keep the maf sensor?

[Stig]

in order to register the engine, the engine cannot be older than the chassis, hence a cu2 or fn2r engine is required which makes the build expensive

[rcfd2civic]

I had the car for two years now and bought it brand new since then i modified the following:
- mugen full kit bodykits
-carbon fiber type r spoiler
-3M di-noc carbon fiber sticker ( full rear boot )
-lenso 18x8.5 +35 offset with federal 225-40-18 tyres
-HID lights
- and few more minor modifications
Next project - skunk2 pro-c coilovers and 215/40/18 federal tyres

[ej20i]

how did u black out the white part of the rear tail lights?
and the carbon boot does look nice

[curtis265]

I think theyre aftermarket

[rcfd2civic]

You can buy them at ebay there aftermarket ones, cause for me its better to look factory ones than white lenses ( no offense ) i want to keep the type r looks hehe:)

[.k.]

man dropping 20k into an fd engine conversion to only get beaten by like an type r or a k-swapped eg/ek/wateva how would you feel?

if you've got 20k to burn just save it and buy a house or something.. or save more and get an s2k then mod it once ur off ur p's

[black8thgen]

lol harsh but true haha

yeah that carbon boot looks hot..... i might have to do something like that lol.

[aero]

just the fn2r's they ate still a "type r"

LOLOLOL that thread is ripped from ozhonda. They all thought it was my car.... pff americans, hahahaah







guys to add to teh tease.. my sister went on a 2 month exchange in japan.. and ffs her host family had a fd2r as a toy car.. Couldn't even recognise it was a civic like what we have..

i'm jelly

[xenonkuraz]

guys my fd2 sits roughly an inch lower on the passenger side...i noticed it as i was walking towards the car in a shopping mall. it was the same when i parked it at home. any ideas?

[curtis265]

lower on driver side? I think it's the additional weight of the steering column, although 1 inch is a fkload. I've got a difference of 1 finger for the wheel gaps

[aerithyn]

Sorry guys pics In A week :) still Gottaa shove the dual exhaust next week, Audi angel eye hid, Mugen visors and drl on. If u see it in the street beforehand Ull know how chat the exhaust looks and the empty foggy space !!!

[xenonkuraz]

nah lower on passenger side...i dunno wtf is going on ill take it to suspension shop tomorrow

[black8thgen]

what, should normally be lower on driver side lol =/..... also cos apparently the engine is heavier on the driver side normally

[ej20i]

nopew, mine as well passenger side

[aero]

my passenger side had normally been lower... but i took it to mechanic when i had my engine mounts replaced and they evened up my height... i still wanna go lower at the front tho, so i'll probably end up throwing it all out of whack again lol

[ekdez]

prettty

[black8thgen]

nicee.. btw ekdez when you got ur js racing catback, it was for an fd2r right? what modifications did you need to make to fit ur fd1? and any idea what id need to do to make it fit the fd2?

thanks

[ekdez]

YEah it's an fd2r 60rs titanium :)
The mods was just a short 15-20 cm pipe made from the samematerial with two flanges on each side so it just bolts on in between :)
Cos me 500 or so cos it's expensive material, and u need a different gas and training to weld titanium.. But it all bolts together perfectly. Hasn't fallen off since.
P.s I dunno where the fd2 headers star it finish.. So u couldnt advise u on that.

Unless u have a Jdm k20a with j's headers then you'll be laughin :p

[xenonkuraz]

I wanna get purple fluoro rays wheels!

[black8thgen]

ah ok cheers ekdez.. hopefully fd2r system can be easily modded for an fd2

awesome car man! something looks a bit weird about that rear wing though. looks like a normal mugen wing. i thought rr wing is like a 2 piece with a little kinda ducktail on the boot, in the middle? and no fender flares? :(

Yeh I got the normal Mugen wing Coz I saw another Fd driving with Mugen kit and RR wing. The wing is huge and looks horrible in real life!! In photos looks alright.and the fender flares look kinda weird IMO don't want little bumps sticking out near my wheels =] all they do us weigh the car down more!!

[howy]

why not just the Type R wing then?

looks a bit weird imo with the mugen one

each to their own i suppose..

[DuffyFD]

disagreeing with howy - it's the best spoiler for the kit imo.

however i prefer just a lip

[ekay1]

Dude the kits looking hot as! The mugen wing is alright with the mugen RR kit, but the Type R wing looks better with non mugen kits or no kit imo

[ej20i]

should i spray disinfectant in the filter box and let it run through the system?

did u buy ur car like that, or did u purchase the wheels n kit etc urself? apart from the mugen badge on the grille, the car looks very much like this one, that was owned by a member here a couple of years ago:

http://i52.tinypic.com/25j9zet.jpg

[itachi-kun]

Could be, but I only just got the rear lip painted and fitted 2 days ago. Everything else looks very similar though. I bought it about 4.5 months ago 2008 model and 35000 on the clock.

[jpestrada115]

heater should do the trick! let your car idle, full blower and highest heater setting, all windows closed. do that for 15-20 minutes or so and it should freshen things up a bit inside your car.:thumbsup:

[black8thgen]

those matte black ce28s? look hawt lol

you are lucky the egg didnt break on your car. the shell actually chips the paint. my front right fender still has battle scars from wheni got hit..
its funny because the next day on canberra news, there was a report and a man wanted for questioning for beating up a little kid for throwing eggs on the same stretch of road. :thumbsup:

[black8thgen]

Anyone know of any headers for the fd2?? Can I use the same headers as the k20z3 in America?

Actually they both crack on the car the front bumper was fine the one on the roof is not !!! Just minor barely seeable black dots !! It pissed me off when I found that it had splashed all onto the spoiler >=\ and was a bitch to clean off .

[aznboiio1]

thats a fml moment ><, some f&^%#@ threw eggs from a overhead walk way on the GW Hwy near Auburn, on Monday

Protects the hood from stone chips and other damages.

Protects the hood from stone chips and other damages.

How often is your hood gonna get hit by stones? lol well I guess if you're driving on bad bitumen

[fitme]

^ i have 2 stone chips already on my hood and side mirror ....if you travel interstate, its better to have this or have a full bumper bra...i am ordering this hood bra overseas but not coming from the US..cause they says USDM hood is different from our FD (JDM/AUDM)

[SuperJDM.]

i was trying to tell you to go back through a couple of pages to see that the covers were already covered

[xenonkuraz]

The badges look like replica ones. I say debadge too.

Edit: and get red H badges.

[aerithyn]

looks good. i'd get rid of the RR badging tho.. btw, do those LEDs in the middle of ur rer diffuser work?

Yeh the LEDs work bright red !! The RR badges are genuine and because I got the exhaust done last week had no time to go to the other supplier to get the red h, audi hid and Mugen visors done. Will be fitting em on this Sunday !

Oh and drl and genuine rr front grill badge!

[liquid23]

[aznboiio1]

mmm i cant choose between
CE28N - Silver - 18x8 +45
or
RE30 - Silver - 18x8 +45
ppls inputs? :D

[Stig]

18x8.5+30 is better specs and RE30

I'm a fan of the ce28n only when it has concave and some dish, only way to get that is if you go up to like 9+35, most epic is 10.5+15 and i wanted that but no point since i couldnt fit a phat tyre on it

[lukeskies]

anyone taken off their intake resonator while having an aftermarket muffler on? worth doing?

[ekay1]

anyone taken off their intake resonator while having an aftermarket muffler on? worth doing?

From memory, Ej20i did that and it sounded raspy. Nice raw sound imo. His got a link on youtube and one somewhere on this site if you can find it.
found it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEyR-wLSLt8 - and to ej20i, if you dont want the info to be shown on here, i'll take it off for you.

[ej20i]

Another vote +1 for RE30

What foggies did you get dez? And is anyone running HID foggies? - is it too bright?

Im looking to buy fogs atm; anyone know if that trader on here still sells the yellow tinting material? or where else can i source it?

cheers.

Just coz it's Coles doesn't mean it won't get you anywhere. What do you do stig?

[Stig]

lol service assistant... the bottom of the food chain

[curtis265]

aye guys my Fd leans to the side.. quite noticeably - my mum could even tell.

any ideas?

[threesix]

It’s on the passenger side right? Does it even out with you sitting in it?

I remember my GT Starlet was a finger or two lower on the drivers side and it used to piss me off sooo much. Took it to a few places and they said to just deal with it. Ghey.

[DuffyFD]

isn't that due to the handbrake?

[vlixcool]

damn i just smashed my rear spoiler :( anyone here willing to sell their mugen or mugen RR rear spoiler?

[DuffyFD]

I think aerithyn has a spare Mugen RR spoiler.

Btw vlixcool, is it your car i always see in Kensington area?

[vlixcool]

I think aerithyn has a spare Mugen RR spoiler.

Btw vlixcool, is it your car i always see in Kensington area?

[threesix]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! that is the worst song ever. lol but it is the 3 6 they are talking about.

[Stig]

re001's, nice

mine looks like that

[xenonkuraz]

LOL curtis mine looks like that too. I was trying to explain it a thread pages back...butttt I think it's moreso on the passenger side for me

[vlixcool]

@ Curtis, just go to wheel shop and ask for wheel alignment

[ekdez]

maybe cos you are in the drivers seat the whole time the suspension has sagged?

[ej20i]

mines the passenger side thats lower

[curtis265]

I noticed this a while ago, but it was only small... Now it's quite obvious. I initially thought it was the steering column but if some of u guys are having it on the passenger side.. then it's obviously not.

and no i'm not fat.

[Stig]

i noticed mine a month after i brought it, got pissed off and went on coils to even it out

[ekdez]

and no i'm not fat.

hahaha.. i never implied that..

[ej20i]

could be the shocks busted?

[xenonkuraz]

mines the passenger side thats lower

yep same. maybe in the k20s its like this lol

[curtis265]

But he doesn't have a K20..

oh and ekdez i didn't take it the wrong way lol, don't worry

[xenonkuraz]

[DuffyFD]

wtf is that? CAI??

[aznboiio1]

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x169/remixxgh/IMG_0329.jpg
now thats a true cold air intake, someone here should do it :)

[curtis265]

omg lol i hate those things

[ekay1]

that is ridiculous LOL

[aerithyn]

Looks like crap:thumbdwn:

Don't suppose it would be a defect if your low beam didn't come on

[fitme]

^yeah it looks like crap with a 215whp :p..its not like an all show no go FD..lol

[ekay1]

[xenonkuraz]

ROFL wtf is the point of that CAI? how is he gonna prevent hydrolock...

if I saw it on the street I'd probably give it a tap lol

[aerithyn]

^yeah it looks like crap with a 215whp :p..its not like an all show no go FD..lol

Aww come on even if it had 500whp you gotta admit it looks like some aircrafts refueling nozzle!

[fitme]

ROFL wtf is the point of that CAI? how is he gonna prevent hydrolock...i think it is the most efficient way to have a cai which is sucking colder air ......and obviously this is not a daily car.. i talked to the owner and he runs around 14's with full interior..

if you keep your cai inside your hood/engine bay...do you think it will perform better than having it outside??

[xenonkuraz]

if it's in your hood/engine bay its not a cai...

more like hai

speaking of that some kients stole all my clips that hold the plastic panel/guard thingy to the bumper and the bottom of my car yesterday in Granville T_T

[xenonkuraz]

Why steal a Maserati then abandon it? for kicks?

I thought they'd try to export them to Russia and rebirth them or something lol

[Stig]

soon to bid farewell to my fd1, deposit taken :)

[ekay1]

speaking of that some kients stole all my clips that hold the plastic panel/guard thingy to the bumper and the bottom of my car yesterday in Granville T_T

Wth, thats a first. Dont buy them from honda dealers, they cost a fortune.


soon to bid farewell to my fd1, deposit taken :)
Oh serious? Hope your still active on this forum!!

[ekdez]

his a mod LOL

[Stig]

LOL dw i'll still be in this thread, and the lulz thread, cos we all know evo drivers will eventually go back to a honda

[ekdez]

beats me how u own a evo, dc5 and a fd1 and wrk at coles :| do u void every sale and on cash up pocket the rest.. LOL

[Stig]

LOL i never get to touch any of that stuff at coles, i work in fruit :(

and no my parents don't pay for any of this car stuff lol

[threesix]

my left nut they dont.

[Stig]

true story, mum hates it when parts come in the mail, cracked the shits even when my arc gear knob came in LOL

[threesix]

well, i would like to buy some (wink wink) from you then good sir.

[Stig]

well i do work like 6-7 day weeks on holidays and 4-5 during uni so yeah, that explains alot

[ekdez]

got a g/f? THIS WILL EXPLAIN IT ALL haha

[Stig]

LOL that too, no i has not... atm

forever alone?

[ekdez]

put tires on your wheels on yet? wheels on car yet?

[Stig]

na, wont be for a while, got no money for tyres atm, and still figuring out what size, either 245 or 255 ad08, maybe 265 if i can find some pics

[ekay1]

beats me how u own a evo, dc5 and a fd1 and wrk at coles :| do u void every sale and on cash up pocket the rest.. LOL

I reckon ey.... how does this guy do it? Drug dealer i bet!

[threesix]

well duh.

[xenonkuraz]

LOL that too, no i has not... atm

forever alone?

this is truly the definitive solution for affording super nice cars and working entry level jobs.

i mean what else do you spend the cash on if you're a live-at-home-with-parents and working full-time?

[ekdez]

hard work pays off =)
i should learn to budget

[threesix]

hella rich kids!! im just jelly is all.

[curtis265]

Indeed it does. But then you need to appreciate what you have. Look at yourself instead of compare yourselves to others.. cos no matter how successful you are, there will always be someone more successful (or spolt)

or you'll die forever jelly

[threesix]

^^ word. well put. i need to stop being so jelly.

[Stig]

my family isn't rich, in my family its just me and my mum, i pitch in for things here and there and pay bills whenever i can, we're pretty avg, heck mum is even a blue collared worker

[curtis265]

Nvm it guys, we shold stop talking about this.

[black8thgen]

Should I sell my fd for a dc5r..... So hard to find nice dc5r's though with low k's... =[

[curtis265]

Yes 100%. I wanted to. Think about all the money you'd save on depreciation!

[black8thgen]

But isn't the dc5r market dying atm?

[ej20i]

any meet this saturday guys?

[black8thgen]

Got work ==..

[DuffyFD]

yeah as soon as a real gf comes along you can say bye bye to tinkering with your car on the weekend and spending money on mods..

it's all about buying nice dinners and presents, and condoms.

[black8thgen]

u have to make the girl realise she comes second.. then u just win win win lolol

what u guys think... dc5s or dc5r??

[Stig]

pricewise and ks, dc5s,

dc5r has more potential once you start modding it, but the asking price for one and the ks these days, not really worth it unless its ~15k

[black8thgen]

doesnt the k20z1 have more potential? since the audm k20 in the dc5r isnt like the jap version?

[Stig]

dc5r has no side air bags, lighter and chassis is stiffer i believe, better gear box too? im not sure

[ekay1]

yeah as soon as a real gf comes along you can say bye bye to tinkering with your car on the weekend and spending money on mods..

it's all about buying nice dinners and presents, and condoms.

True true. But you cant really make a girl feel like your car is more important, or else you'll end up with no girlfriend anyway. You must be buying golden condoms mate haha

[black8thgen]

lol my girlfriend knows my car comes first, she accepted it =].

and stig yeah i heard dc5r gearbox is better but nothing u cant fix on the dc5s anyway right? but i heard in terms of daily driving the dc5r is pretty gay compared to the dc5s?


btw can u use dc5r aftremarket bumpers n such on the dc5s?

[Stig]

daily the dc5s is better, you can only use the dc5r bumpers on the dc5s if you change the headlights as well to a dc5r headlight

[curtis265]

buy condoms? PULL OUT

but yeah find the type S if you can.. Why the change of heart suddenly?

[black8thgen]

wasnt tht sudden, been thinking about it for a while lol... kinda just want a manual and faster car lolol but for that price like 30k ish could just spend a bit more and pick up an evo lol =.=

[DuffyFD]

PULL OUT?

No thanks. either wrap it up or she can swallow it down.

apologies for getting OT.

[curtis265]

wtf 30k for a dc5r? That is... not correct... especially over east. You drive auto? LOL

i'm joking about pull out btw :P

[ynot2o99]

wasnt tht sudden, been thinking about it for a while lol... kinda just want a manual and faster car lolol but for that price like 30k ish could just spend a bit more and pick up an evo lol =.=

parting out your fd? :D

[xenonkuraz]

Swallow it down ftw.

We talking about Coke right. Hehe

[DuffyFD]

wasnt tht sudden, been thinking about it for a while lol... kinda just want a manual and faster car lolol but for that price like 30k ish could just spend a bit more and pick up an evo lol =.=

shotgun your lipkit. Especially since it's in black!

[black8thgen]

lol nah curtis dc5s is around 25-30k, but i can pick up an evo9 for 32k at 32000 km lol... dc5r's going for around 22-25 but all r like 90 000KM +++ =.=.....

yeah if i sell my car i would probably part out first haha

[Stig]

don't think evo ix are around the 32k mark, they are 38k+, anything under 35k was suss cos i wanted a 9 and did a few checks on them, few were previously written off and repaired

[ekdez]

don't think evo ix are around the 32k mark, they are 38k+, anything under 35k was suss cos i wanted a 9 and did a few checks on them, few were previously written off and repaired
