Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[curtis265]

intense kit man!

not a fan of ur LED's and wheels but dam, it rocks

[aero]

what happened to the foglights?

[aerithyn]

what happened to the foglights?

Somewhere in the garage . Preferred the drl with the headlights.

[.k.]

take off the honda sticker on the windscreen? :(

[aero]

Somewhere in the garage . Preferred the drl with the headlights.

should at least cover up the hole with some mesh

[SuperJDM.]

looks like one of those cars from thailand with lights everywhere, prefer it without the LED and Honda sticker but hey its your car.
you ever thought of dropping it abit? maybe new set of rims too?

[aerithyn]

I like my rims ^^

If I dropped it it wouldnt be enough to enter the basement parking of my apartment. If I go down straight now it scrapes on a curve 2mm left. That's why no lowered cars in the apartment lol.

[threesix]

this thread is the new ricer thread.

[aero]

It's not really. It's a mod thread. At least there have been posts of mods with photos, rather than just chat about what we want but can't afford. Props to artithyn for building his car how he wants.

[threesix]

freedom of speeech yo.

[xenonkuraz]

you should cover up the bumper holes with mesh...lots of nasty things will fly in. or get rammed in.

and yeah the honda sticker...

[aerithyn]

Yeh what aero said ;)

Ordering the mesh now but has to be custom to match the existing one since it didn't come with it because that's where the huge foggies were meant to be. My windscreen will look too plain without the Honda sticker. Got a better idea in a sticker :p ??

We should all meet up Tuesday night somewhere :eek: before everyone changes their car and I'm still stuck with my Fd :( !!

[xenonkuraz]

Get a strip of tint yo

[ekay1]

Strip of tint sound alright. Not a fan of too many stickers personally, but looks nice if built right.

[xenonkuraz]

Well I like how you got away from the "pure replica" thing and did the drls. I reckon they're cool. Rims are nice too but everyone has their own preferences. In the end if you're happy it's all good! But keep in mind when you have something different people like to put forward their criticisms. It's up to you which ones to take in and which ones to ignore :D

[SuperJDM.]

this thread is the new ricer thread.

post your car?

[curtis265]

he's just spamming, ignore him and try not to keep it going in here or it will turn into warzone..

oh and aerithryn, i don't mind the honda sticker. I'd just look hell clean without, which seems to be the general taste around here

[ekay1]

Its all preferrence in the end. Its your car, do what you like. If it wasnt like this, everyones car would basically be the same lol.

[aznboiio1]

anyone parting out here ? :L

[threesix]

post your car?

getting bored.

THAHTS what i was thinking of !!! the led neons but then thought of something else for the popo to defect me with . A pair of new leather bucket seats with 4 point harness. thought so much about it i bought it today and installing it tomorrow ;):thumbsup:

[ej20i]

which 4 point harness and how much?

[xenonkuraz]

I've got takata but haven't installed them in this car yet

[patchwick]

hahahaha!! we've got spoon side mirror replicas now!!!
they dont look that bad as well :)

[curtis265]

Interesting looking, but they're so small!

[xenonkuraz]

yeah they look like they belong in the starship fleet

[DuffyFD]

how did you wrap your door sills? Did you have to take them off?

Mine are all sundamaged and faded and I was considering wrapping or painting them

[aero]

mine are faded also.. was thinking of just painting them over lol..

anyway, just got defected on my way home for having my wheels sticking outside my guards :(
minor defect. only $100 and 1 demerit point.
the officer also told me i should raise my car xD

must get camber arms asap to get those +20 wheels tucked lol.

[Stig]

they didn't give me rwc cos i cbf putting those clips that hold the undertray to the front bumper on... bunch of tightarses

[aznboiio1]

lol stig sell me your clips :)

[xenonkuraz]

I didn't know that was a rwc issue? if so lame one.

my mechs usually only check brakes, tyres, seatbelts, lights and handling

[Stig]

aznboiio1 i was gonna let go of my clips to you but now i need them, i got desperate for an rwc so i went to a place near my house, thought it would be a simple drive in drive out like in springvale, took all morning -_-

not bringing my evo there for sure, would fail so much LOL

the guy who i usually go to just.. looks at it... waves his hand under the car to clear height, check tyres, wobble the seats... done, 10min job, easy 100, but vicroads took his logbook for inspection so i couldnt go there LOL

[aznboiio1]

fark thats just bad luck T_T,
on another note, got a quote for my 10k service, $300, i just cant justify paying $300, whereas midas are having a special atm for $55,
for the complete service, change filters, etc buh only give 5L of oil, both using similiar oil, where you can pick it from supercheap..
and i need to replace em clips, theres like 10 of em,

[aerithyn]

Got them seats in today took ages!! Finished with no airbags for safety and no seatbelt lol just the harness which sticks you to the seat like bird shit on a sunnyday. :thumbsup:


which 4 point harness and how much?

Monza red 4 pointers except I ripped the logos off ^^ for 89 pair. ADR approved not rta approved ..

thats not my FD, thats someone elses from the other forum that sells the mirrors.
arranging a set to fly down here soon :)

yea i wouldnt paint the doorsills as they tend to look a bit dodgy after awhile

[DuffyFD]

I painted one in satin black and it's better than the rest. I was thinking of vinyl wrapping them with a silver/chrome colour. more lux :P

[ej20i]

how much are those mirrors?

[patchwick]

how much are those mirrors?

approx 200bux + shipping from phils.. made in taiwan.. they're plastic with blue glass

still abit expensive for a replica would probably become cheaper when everyone starts to produce them

[mxa]

I'm new to this forum, thought I might share a few pictures and input something. So far I've done very little to my car:

Sound:
Sub + Amp (Kicker)

Exterior:
18" Verde rims
Midnight tints
HID's

Interior:
Changed all my interior lights to LED.
OEM accent lights.

Welcome man. Liking the car, got any shots on the interior?

Sure man, I'll get them up when I get the chance to take a few pics :)
Waiting for my spoiler to arrive, can't wait to chuck it on

[curtis265]

Really does need a lip huh :P
Might need a drop too. Nice car btw :)

[rcfd2civic]

mine are faded also.. was thinking of just painting them over lol..

must get camber arms asap to get those +20 wheels tucked lol.

Thats bad luck aye, how much mm did they say its sticking out of the guards anyway?

[aero]

officer said they stuck out about 20mm. which is about right. im running 17x9 +20 on the fronts and 17x9 +30 on the rears

[curtis265]

do u have stockies still? Just chuck those on to clear the pits. Then get ur camber sorted out later

[aero]

Just got a minor defect. Only gotta pay the fine. The car will be parked in the garage for the next couple of weeks while I go overseas anyway. When I get back I'll order some s2 camber arms n camber the shizz out of the rears. Then it should be ok lol

[Stig]

took my fd1 hid out to get rwc, used for like 2 weeks, from xenon xtreme, 50 bucks for any takers here cos i cbf putting it back in haha, 6000k HB4

[ekay1]

Is it the slim one or the normal? would you ship to me again? :P

[Stig]

slim one, lol of course

[ekdez]

Henry pm me, I'll take em if they haven't been sold. Moneys ready ;)

Car looks funny with normal driving lights ad hiss for foggies lol

[aznboiio1]

mmm any recommendations for a audio setup for under $500?
looking for front, rears and an amp to power em, and the associated cabling/components.
ive asked around, and the specs dont seem to appealling TT,

[Stig]

$500 is a bit of a tight budget considering most of the cabling will cost you around 100-150$ depending on what you need (the power cable will add up and recommendation is 4 gauge minimum)

[aznboiio1]

imo worked all holidays, paid of uni fees, buy textbooks/etc, pay for servicing car, and other stuff, only leaves me with $500 rofl,
wait $300 if i get someone to install my double din deck professionally TT,
unless ill pay someone here to do it for me @ a cheaper rate :D, ive got no experience wat so ever

[xenonkuraz]

come to melb i'll do it for less...hehe

[Stig]

buy my head unit harness, then its just soldering matching colours, then its plug and play

[aznboiio1]

how much, lol, i didnt even know wats it used for b4...

[SuperJDM.]

[curtis265]

That's the sad fate of the honda civic :(

[xenonkuraz]

Sad for that civic. Quick, someone get some c4 and put it out of it's misery...

[SuperJDM.]

[fitme]

nahh its photochopped....

[curtis265]

It's a good sexspec, but just needs paint lol

[xenonkuraz]

I wouldn't mind those fenders though

[ekdez]

he must scrub :\

http://ivyleagueeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_0546.jpg

i like this colour o:

http://ivyleagueeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_07051.jpg

[ekay1]

The first FD has such a clean colour code.
What lip is that on the orange FD?

[curtis265]

dam those americans hey.

[fitme]

The first FD has such a clean colour code.
What lip is that on the orange FD?

its J's racing lip

[Stig]

pretty sure its the mugen fd2r lip

[felixd]

Stig u sold ur civic and own EVO now maan its hard to sell my euro !!!! :( how much was ur evo 9 ? any pics bro hehe ?

[ekay1]

its J's racing lip


pretty sure its the mugen fd2r lip

Now im confused. Would the lip fit onto a facelifted FD?
Its a mugen FD2R mugen lip.

[xenonkuraz]

oh damn that colour is so beautiful.

where are their indicators? wonder how they got hold of those models (with our face)

[Stig]

Now im confused. Would the lip fit onto a facelifted FD?
Its a mugen FD2R mugen lip.

I would have to assume no? cos if you think about it, in order to run the fd2r front bar you need wider fenders, so the bar is wider than a FL FD front bar

In short, the Mugen FD2R lip is wider than the FL FD2 front bar?

Unless someone proves me wrong lol but that's my assumption


Stig u sold ur civic and own EVO now maan its hard to sell my euro !!!! :( how much was ur evo 9 ? any pics bro hehe ?

lol I'll show you in person at the next agentz meet

[fitme]

Now im confused. Would the lip fit onto a facelifted FD?
Its a mugen FD2R mugen lip.

i stand corrected stig is right...little bit confused with the J's racing

this is the J's racing lip
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk88/garytay07/IMG_3178.jpg

[ekdez]

j's is more bulky.

lol!

[Stig]

haha no ones modding their civics so i thought i'll lighten up the page with some mods

[xenonkuraz]

is all that on the floor goin in?

[Stig]

Yea, prob during easter break as I don't have any time atm with uni/work but the advan's prob won't go on until a while cos I can afford tyres

[ekay1]

I would have to assume no? cos if you think about it, in order to run the fd2r front bar you need wider fenders, so the bar is wider than a FL FD front bar

In short, the Mugen FD2R lip is wider than the FL FD2 front bar?

Unless someone proves me wrong lol but that's my assumption

So in other words, if i have a FD2R kit on, i should be able to fit the lip on?
I reckon you'll put everything on then tell no one then come up with some crazy photo :P

[Stig]

has to be the genuine one and not the replica

[ekdez]

were there any rear diffusers? i really want a rear diffuser..

[Shimian]

if only it was easy to drive your car onto a ship (like to tasmania) and come back from singapore fully modded.
I really want a REAR full bumper replacement. Not much option for my dual 4" remus. Most hold single tips only :(

[evolution]

Mcwell has lots of stuff, but they are not cheap. If you have more time try the other shops.

rofl, if my rents saw these in our house, they would be raging :(

[evil_1998]

Nice rims ekdez.

I don't have any good pics yet, but car can go low. Will post some pics when I got time.

Ride quality is excellent in my opinion, feels like a different car. Excellent value for money is all I can say, top quality coilover. No problems so far. Highly recommended for someone who is after a fully adjustable coilover setup, without needing to spend huge amounts of money.

My friend who tested as driver & passenger said ride quality is comparable to his DC5R with Tein Flex coilovers.

Spring rate is 6kg Front, 6kg Rear

Softest setting is slightly harder than stock, more firm. However still had too much body roll for my liking. Tested with a few different settings, since lowering car, it tended to bounce a bit through deep pot holes/rough roads.

The best for me so far is setting front damper to 17 & 18 clicks for the rear (for track, this can be set much higher without issues). Increasing the damper to this setting seems to provide the best 'in-between' for street, not soft & not too hard. Any higher, car would feel too hard/harsh for Perth streets. The roads here are not all smooth, some a very rough, old, uneven. Each person may have their own individual taste, but I like my car to be stiff for a more controlled & firmer ride. Due to the higher damper settings, I also adjusted the tyre pressures to accommodate, 38psi front & 36psi.

After wheel alignment got camber dialed in at: -1 front & approx -2.2 for rear, +0.8 toe in the rear, the car grips through the corners. You can even say car feels like it's on rails.

Body roll has reduced immensely, however I also got a Ultra Racing 19mm rear ARB & TC Sportline Front Strut Bar installed which also improve handling. Even for a stock car, just coilovers will make a great improvement in handling.

Overall, this is a quality product & worth the money. Not many other coilovers can provide as much functionality for this price.

[DuffyFD]

so want to buy these now. I have a set a set of pedders springs on and I'm not satified with handling yet, great write up mate, you have me convinced!

will these bad boys fit our civics?

[curtis265]

I have a strong feeling it will. I think theres a seller on here sellig those though. cant remember who

[FDBenni]

Yeh they should fit, ive got the skunk2 one and to be honest they dont feel that great, they just shorten it by decreasing the leverage.

[curtis265]

decreasing the throw, not so much leverage.

u need a combo of both to get a decent short shift.. maybe consider chopping the stick? haha

i love and hate the FD shfiter, throw angle feels like a lot but the throw isn't really that long... are there any short shifter kits? I know there are some for the civic si in the US but that's for the 6 speed (no sure if we have the same deal here.. or if it fits the 5 speed gearbox)

it's a full on shifter replacement. http://www.twmperformance.com/shortshifters/hondashortshifters/honda-06civic-gateway.htm
http://www.twmperformance.com/shortshifters/hondashortshifters/images/2009-civic-si-stage-3-link.gif

[ej20i]

i heard that by shortening the shifter in an already short shift (our FDs) is quite bad for the gearbox
so im not game enough try since its grinding somethings being stuck already

[black8thgen]

ill get xd9 pics up tmrw, however car is fkn filthy as but meh lol

my rears will probably scrub with full load.. and im only running 18x8 +35 with 215/40/18 tyres =/...

[EGB]

TWM make awesome shifters, having used them in my last three cars.

I have never actually seen damage caused by shortshifters, so many people use them with no issues - if there really were problems, you would hear about it alot.

JDMyard sell mugen short shifters - They may be titled under FN2, but are compatible with FD, I am currently using it - the throw is not really shortened a great deal, but the feeling of shifting is far more solid and noticeable.

[DuffyFD]

What else can we do to fix the shifting experience. A guy on 8th Gen Forums wrote a post about modding the shifting experience on a Si..

But what do we have in Aus that's compatible. All we can do is put better transmission fluid in i guess?

[curtis265]

might be compatible, just gotta know if it fits the lx/ex/dx models

[EGB]

change the shifter bushings (where the shifter cables connect to the gearbox). These are also available from TWM performance - will provide a notchier feeling

[Stig]

cusco front crossmember!

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5476/19070910150153529436844.jpg

[ej20i]

well as a lot of ppl know that the FD crunches gear at first and third (on 8th gen as well)
so i put better MTF and some MTF additives
its pretty good so far

[Stig]

i crunched 3rd alot with the skunk2 short shifter... but it might be me though getting too egar changing gears like 2f2f

[black8thgen]

my 18x8 +35 rims with 215/40/18 are scrubbing pretty hard with passengers and on corners..... any suggestions? besides rolling guards..

im gna raise my car tmrw hopefully that solves the issue enough lol

[curtis265]

Guys anyone know how to take off those sunvisors? Mine split apart andi need to clip it back, but i need to take it off the car first cos it's too hard to work with up there

[ekdez]

Man thats HOT! loving the stance on the car.
Just a quick question, where did you guys mount your ballast from the HID on your car? I was reading through the guides, but the mount does not fit onto the screws on either sides --"

[Stig]

man that is phlush

cable die under the reinforcement bar

[curtis265]

i cabletied it to the bar that joins the fender to the chassis (same as wat stigs talking about?) check 8thcivic, i followed their guide

[aero]

needs moar lows, dez! lol plz keep the pics coming

[black8thgen]

yeah man scrubbage hard on the rear.. and on the front under hard cornering on slopes/bumps.... =.=.... i was like wtf.. i even raised my car to have 2 finger gap up front adn 1.5 finger gap at the rears.. still scrubs on hard bumps with no passenger lol wtf.....

should i just roll my guards?...

[threesix]

rolling would of been one of the first things done (?)

[black8thgen]

i need more camber as well.. dez r u running any camber arms/

[aznboiio1]

woot ordered my
re30's , they will arrive in approx 8 weeks time D:
rep mugen lip kit, arriving soonish :D
hhmm i be thinking Gruppe M or J's racing intake :) cant decide :L

&& quick Q, my car lately has like a delay on starting from i turn the key, it takes like a 5sec crank, then starts,
it happenslike the first time of the day, doesnt matter if its morning/arvo or night...
ive taken it to my local mechanic and last week to Honda for a rip off service and to check it out, and they go nothings wrong.. TT
car is 1 year old, wat can i do now?
p.s. and ive done the stuff in that thread from chib, about this topic,

[aznboiio1]

&& ej20i, pm me your no agens, i lost it T_T

[ekdez]

i need more camber as well.. dez r u running any camber arms/

Yeah man, rolled rears flat, and pulled a bit.. Got skunk2 rear camber kit, the gold one, and shaved it a bit to allow more neg camber. Running -3.5 degs on the rear but my coils sink on the rear when I drive , hence why my car is at this height. Plus I got a Shiz driveway.. :(

[aero]

i need more camber as well.. dez r u running any camber arms/

u shouldnt need camber arms to pull off 8" +35 on 215/40 tyres. i was running 9" +35 with no problems with scrubbing on the rear. my guards had been rolled, but they're not fully flat. id just call it a mild roll.

[Stig]

i ran an 8+38 with 225 without any problems :S

[black8thgen]

How low were you? Why the fk am I scrubbing with 18x8 +35 =\.......

[Stig]

i think 1 finger gap all round, well the front would scrub on a major bump

[black8thgen]

were ur guards rolled? im on 2 finger gap front 1.5 finge gap rear and rear scrubs with passengers over bigger bumps n harder turns

[ej20i]

depending on coilovers as well
stig was running teins, harder spring rate than the tanabe (correct me if im wrong)
i was looking at spacers on saturday, and we fit a 6mm spacer, looked ok to me den we fit a 18x9 +35, from the drop, it looked like it wont scrub with a 225
roll ur guards first den see how it goes

[black8thgen]

But ur guards aren't rolled aren't they tim?

[ej20i]

nope, but mine are 18x7.5 +43

[aero]

im running cheapo d2 coils. ive had the dampers at hardest, softest and medium settings on the rear at certain stages and still had no rubbing on a full car load when i had 9" +35 on 215/40 tyres. i guess guard rolling helps out a lot. also no scrubbing on 9" +30... but major headaches with 9" +20. camber kit should make them tuck :thumbsup:

[ekdez]

Aero with a will there is a way, you can fit those x9+20's!! :) I'm certain we can run x9 +15!! But I'm not game enough :p

[aero]

no money for camber just yet. just got back from a week's holiday in bali. thank god i have a staggered set of wheels atm so i can put the +20s at the front and have +30 offset on the rear to save me from scrubbing in the mean time

[DuffyFD]

Would it make much difference if installed a set of coilovers (either thinking the BC Racing ones or Stig's Cusco Zero GT's) over what I'm currently on which is stock shocks and pedders sport springs?

Good bang for buck?

[EGB]

FD2, looking to run

17x8.5 +30 w/ 225/45 all round, rolled guards and front and rear camber kit, with coilovers.

should I have any issues?

[.k.]

Duffy i believe there would be considerable difference between coils and shocks - depending on what you buy, different spring rates/dampening options which would make your ride/ride comfort different?

And EGB don't think you'll have problems mate, if anything happens just down it to 225/40 or 215/45/40 and you should be sweet? :))

[xenonkuraz]

Just had a second attempt at diy aux cable. It worked like a charm this time...except a little bit of hissing. Anyone know how to counter this?

The first time I did it I failed miserably and couldn't figure out why...but I just saw on the updated instructions that the first tutorial listed a wrong cable slot lol

[curtis265]

u don't have an aux cable o.0??

[ekdez]

its underneath the ciggie lighter man

[Stig]

06 civic's dont have aux

[xenonkuraz]

06 civic's dont have aux

Nice man. What exhaust is that i see

[Stig]

[lukeskies]

thanks :D

yep js 304r

[black8thgen]

im thinking of buying a kakimoto exhaust... would it be smarter to get the system for the fd2r or the fd1? in terms of suitablity to compression ratio etc? or should i not even bother getting a system not for the fd2...

[xenonkuraz]

Who needs a rear lip.

[vlixcool]

Hey guys just wondering, is it worth getting a catback? or is just the muffler enough in terms of sound and power ( if the catback gives any power in the fd). Thanks

[SuperJDM.]

an aftermarket axel back with stock bpipe sounds like ass trust me. Its worth getting a catback makes a big difference when it comes to sound

[ekay1]

Ive got a Js racing axleback and it sounds decent. Hahahha thanks for that man.

Yes, catback makes difference to mid-high end power.

[aznboiio1]

on another note,
anyone use these T1R B-Max 52 Coilovers for their fd?

[EGB]

I currently use T1R coilovers, to soft for my liking - Ive had Buddy Club RSD and Monoflex previously on my other cars.

The spring rates are 8 and 6, can be bumpy on bad roads (Parra rd etc.) The 52mm shock body absorbs bumps well throughout all damper settings.

Mate you sure you want to do this though? i have a feeling, theres going to be a day where you are going to regret it though.

[Shimian]

So much confusion with speaker size for FD2. What size are the fronts and rear? Can 6.5" fit without modifying the car door? Searched but couldnt find anyone with a definite answer.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[Stig]

6.5" but you have to have a spacer in between to clear the bigger magnet in the hole, some filing is needed too

[aznboiio1]

Mate you sure you want to do this though? i have a feeling, theres going to be a day where you are going to regret it though.

@ ekay, never :D, its too late anyways, spend half the day delivering LOL such a nice person im :D
even though some stuff were pretty hard to source, oh well,
far im suprised most of the stuff went within a day :L :L

&& inbox is emptied agen

hhmm anyone here using spoon coils, or mugen coils?

[civic101]

hey aznboiio1, can you empty your inbox ><
and for the lip kit, can you gimme some screws, and help me install the HIDS,
pm me a time your free..

[Shimian]

6.5" but you have to have a spacer in between to clear the bigger magnet in the hole, some filing is needed too

Thanks Stig. And the spacers and filings are something you can just buy right? So no need to do cutting or mods on the car door itself? What about 6"? Will they just sit in perfectly? Any noticable difference other than size?

[Stig]

spacers you can make out of MDF yourself, what I did was cut my stock speakers out and use the frame to mount my aftermarket ones on (cos i didnt want to drill new holes into the door), but i found out the new speaker cone was to big for the hole so i had to file the hole and made it slightly bigger.

if you used a thicker spacer it might solve this problem, but you might find it hard to put the door trim back in, so what i also did was cut the plastic on the door trim which encloses the speaker, you'll understand what i mean when you give it a shot yourself

[Shimian]

cool. Just dont want it to be super complex. You mean cutting the plastic grill circle so the aftermarket speaker sticks out?

Now to start getting the parts together. BTW, do you have a secondary battery? Or a 450 is enough?

[ekdez]

Anyone know where to get the black oem honda seat covers from :) I saw them in an old ladies car today.. They looked nice :)

[ej20i]

seems right to me

[FDPete]

im booked in for my 40k service next week...ill let you know how much!! Astoria Honda

Funny how its a 40k major and all that is listed in replace engine oil and filter...not even a spark plug replacememt!!


altough i'm happy they'll be checking the 650 double pumper holley i installed..under "Check Carburettor/ Throttle Body and intake air hose Condition"

[Shimian]

seems right to me

if it says 'Replace Spark plugs (Only Platinum/Iridium if due)' and i bring my own, does this mean they have to replace them as part of the major service? or will they charge extra. Dont want to get ripped.

[DuffyFD]

you should not get charged more, just they will not support warranty on the parts. That's my experience

[Shimian]

you should not get charged more, just they will not support warranty on the parts. That's my experience

cool im fine with that. My current spark plugs are aftermarket since 5,000km service. Last time they charged me $80 to change them. My concern is that list above is not for the Civic FD2 but taken from external party. I guess ill ask before booking my service

[ej20i]

just gauging interest, if i was going to part out my car, will anyone be interested in the parts?

[black8thgen]

Give me ur front lip =D
