[xenonkuraz]

I got my first shipment today from my order. Funny how they come separate?

Mugen gauge pod :wave::

They must have sent it out already damaged because the box was fine and plus they were bubble wrapped.

[aero]

wth? dodgy! hope they'll replace them or give u a refund

[xenonkuraz]

I'll ask them to send out a replacement when I order more parts...but it's gonna take another 2 weeks :thumbdwn: I ordered this stuff on the 2nd of July and it just came today

[xenonkuraz]

Test fit ;) will wire it all up tomorrow

[DuffyFD]

i think im the only whitey in this thread! lol

I'm whittte. On the outside

[threesix]

hahaha.. my skin is white but my lungs are black.

[DuffyFD]

my lungs are green.

[xenonkuraz]

Anyone know where I can get my hands on an oil block adaptor (for oil temp and oil pressure sensors to connect to) and a water temp sensor adapter? I need them urgently and don't want to buy from ebay

[aero]

[.k.]

lol where did u get that? even i havent seen it lol

[aero]

LoL it's on lleighton's facebook. I think he has a link to the album on pg13 of the meet thread. There's also another pic of ur car exiting the parking lot and a pix of Mikewl's fd as well

[xenonkuraz]

Just a quick update. Finally found some time today to do a bit of wiring:

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6493/img1378j.jpg

Tomorrow I will have my boost gauge mounted too.

WHERE TO MOUNT LAAA??!!

http://cutebabypictures.org/d/1981-2/asian+baby+boy+thinking.jpg

[ekdez]

should have gone ALL out and did a full mugen guage swap so all the needles etc.. match ;)

lookin good but!

is the guage mount held down by sticky tape?

[xenonkuraz]

lol haha yeah that would have taken heaps of time lol...

umm the gauge pod isn't held down by anything atm because I tried double-sided tape but i was too thin and didn't fill the small gap between...any suggestion?

[ekdez]

3m double sided foam tape..

the same stuff you use on the back of your misses mugen visors.

it will be a b!tch to take off though.

[xenonkuraz]

Hrmm I need to be able to take it off easily...


Blu tac? LOL

[xenonkuraz]

Here's a pic of the adapters I used (for anyone's future reference):

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1130/img1380mw.jpg

initially I wanted to buy GReddy ones but these worked out to be $100 cheaper, I got them quickly and the fittings are more suitable.

[Alvinlight]

just order a DVD+GPS , but don't know how to install :)
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c362/alvin_light/cividright.png

[xenonkuraz]

Nice. Should be easy

[Alvinlight]

why you don't get one :P

[Stig]

xenon, are you planning to run a boost controller? the new evc 6 is coming out soon, so sexy, full colour

[xenonkuraz]

If I want to watch DVD I would use my tv and if I need navigation I have a tomtom or use my iPhone lol

Stig if as some are saying it is only safe to run 7-8 psi on stock internals then I will just run the internal wastegate psi for now

new rp01's 17x8's +30 all round

[xenonkuraz]

Slick as

[aero]

looks good, man! but what happened to the rpf1s?

[DuffyFD]

thanks! the rpf-01's are sitting at home now :) They were too weak offset for me. they were 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8 +45, whereas these are 17x8 +30 all round, much nicer fitment, and not too hectic for a dailydriver.

Now I need desperately to roll the guards. scrubbing and screechin everywhere

[threesix]

[SuperJDM.]

beautiful

[.k.]

lovely

[DuffyFD]

thanks guys :)

[threesix]

your car is so hot i want to finger it!!!!

perfectly done FD.

[black8thgen]

Looks clean mate well done =]. You'll prob have to shave off or relocate the bolt that screws the rear bumper to the rear guard cos that will proh scrub like a bitch and damage ur Tyres lol

[Kenninho]

might wanna check ur fuel tank neck, mines scrubbed like crazy

[DuffyFD]

I'll be taking off the wheels each week to see the damage. The only issues im having are outer guard / wheelarch issues.

When you roll the guards, how did you approach the rears? It looks like they're reinforced..

[Kenninho]

I got mines professionally done, but what he did was he bent the guard out since it was a "U shape" before rolling and then rolled it. He suggested to shave off the rear bar bolt, i guess you can zip tie it.

[DuffyFD]

Yeah I have a mate with a guardroller and I have a heatgun so I was going to give it a shot doing it DIY.

I got a little way today with a rubber mallet but I'm scared to belt it too hard; I don't want wavy guards.

[Kenninho]

yeh make sure u take ur time ay, but seriously you'll be guaranteed happy when u pay someone to do it. my fronts are wavy haha, until i bought pillowball coilovers =)

[DuffyFD]

btw Kenninho your exhaust is ****ing delicious!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/xposure2010/5888574174/sizes/l/in/photostream/

That's the next thing I gonna work on. Im thinking to delete the resonator for some more sound, and then weld a decent exhaust tip on the stock backbox. Should give the car a bit of grunt, and will cost me next to nothing compared to buying a branded exhaust (as much as they sound awesome, I can't justify the $$)

[Kenninho]

haha that ain't my FD, that's mikewl's... I just did a shoot for him that's all

a few pages back he had a photo of that exhaust welded by himself. I can tell you it sounds awesome

[aero]

^ that's a pic of mikewl's car lol. but it does look pretty good. great photography.

[xenonkuraz]

Found a leak in my oil sandwich plate today. Not happy. That's what I get for not buying GReddy parts :(

Anyway, some interesting facts after 15 min drive (haven't driven my car since friday):

Water temp sits at around 75-80 degrees

Oil temp peaked around 70 degrees

Oil pressure is 3bar (43.5psi) at idle, 5.5bar (80psi) at light cruise, 6.5bar (95psi) at 4000rpm and peaks around 7.5bar (100+psi)

Boost is still yet to come lol :P

[EGB]

Im currently running 17x8.5 +30 225/45/17, I rolled the rear guards myself with roller and heatgun, turned out well.

I do not suggest doing the fronts with a roller, bend them out by hand, the front fenders are considerably weak.

[xenonkuraz]

Guys this is freaking me out. Decided to change my oil and oil filter today and had the car on stands for a while. When I finished I took it for a quick drive and I noticed that when I depress on the clutch I can hear pressure escaping underneath the car.

Is that normal? Never heard it before! What could it be???

[pitiek]

Can anyone tell me what is the best way to remove window visors and double sided tape from above the windows...?
I was told that menthylated spirit can be used for it but I do not want to damage the paint...
Thank you in advance..

[Stig]

bug and tar remover, green spray bottle from autobarn n stuff

leave it for about a minute and it just melts away with your fingernail

[EGB]

or mineral turps

[.k.]

as above then run a thick fishing line/leader to help lift the visors off :)

[ej20i]

xenon, that doesnt sound normal at all, take it to a mech before your ruin the car before the project starts

GOOD LUCK!

[fitme]

use dental floss to remove the visor...then bug and tar

[.k.]

Defect virginity taken yesterday.. sadface

[threesix]

oh no. what for? lowz?

[DuffyFD]

[itachi-kun]

[DuffyFD]

Yea I park in front of uts sometimes ahah, do you go uts as well

Yeah I'm sure we'll see each other this semester.

[DuffyFD]

I got mines professionally done, but what he did was he bent the guard out since it was a "U shape" before rolling and then rolled it. He suggested to shave off the rear bar bolt, i guess you can zip tie it.

I rolled my rears last night, and they're not completely flat, but they're about 1/2 the width, which is just what I needed.

I did have trouble with the rear bar screw, ended up bending it back, and I only scrub when the car dips really deep.

[itachi-kun]

B sci IT?

[itachi-kun]

I think i may have seen your car around itachi. I think its the same thing lol never actually thought about that

just chuck it in your for sale thread

[ekay1]

Hey guys need someone who's good with tyres to help me out lol
My friend got some rims for the fd 18x8+45 with 235/45/18 and the tyres are chunky to the point where they hit the strut of the front. Would it better to get new tyres eg. 225/45/18 or 215/40/18 and chuck on like 5mm spacers as its going to be lowered on springs or just run larger spacers and roll the guards? Thanks in advance

[Kenninho]

i reckon get stretched tyres (225's should do it) and roll the guards, don't run spacers

[ekay1]

225/40? Its so close to the strut, went for a test drive..... and couldnt get out of the driveway.

[evolution]

For 18" rims you should be running 40 profile tires not 45. Your speedo will be way off and may affect braking. So I think you will need to get new tires if you want to use those rims.

[aero]

if its just the tyres hitting the strut, then a 215/40 or 215/35 tyre should be sufficient without the use of spacers. they will look pretty sunk, but if u dont care about stance then it will be fine. if ur afraid that the rim itself will hit the strut, then u could opt for a spacer as well.

Thanks for that evolution. 35 wouldnt hurt either would it?

Hm... 215/40 and 5mm spacer doesnt sound bad either. Just want to make sure it works so it doesnt cause more trouble

[evolution]

Use these 2 links to help yourself to visualise the effects of playing with wheel specs

[ekay1]

Ohhh forgot about that! Thanks evo!

[evolution]

Ohhh forgot about that! Thanks evo!

No problems, have fun!

[black8thgen]

heard bad things about spacers lol i'd stay away from them T_T

[ekdez]

i ran 5mm slip spacers.. no problems =] they were custom made to the hub size tho..
just have to insure that the nuts are on tightly.. and there is no gap..
also.. the only upgrade would be extended lug nuts.. and open ended kicz nuts to finish it off

[DuffyFD]

Remember if you want insurance to pay out in the case of an accident, then spacers will really hurt your chances.

[threesix]

but dont big wheels and low sussy void insurance anyway?

[evolution]

Depends how big and how low I believe.

In WA it's 2 sizes up and 1" wider for rims with height at a min of 100mm clearance from lowest point of the car.

My understanding could be wrong though.

[Stig]

^ as above + an increase of track of no more than 25mm here in vic

[threesix]

well my car came with 15x6.5's and im running 18x9's.

so no point in full car insurance hey....

[asgr8]

finally got my cf wing on =]

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/267316_10150329946631934_601056933_9631896_6045552 _n.jpg

Looking very nice man. Congrts

[evolution]

well my car came with 15x6.5's and im running 18x9's.

so no point in full car insurance hey....

I think it also depends if the wheels were the cause of the claim. Eg. rejecting a claim for hailstone damage just because your wheels are oversized. I had comprehensive claims approved even though my wheels were not within specs.

[itachi-kun]

Looking very nice man. Congrts

thanks ahah =)

[fitme]

^i always see this civic..with white turn signal...

[ekay1]

Hey guys, my car is scrubbing hard on this little tab on the rear's and its beginning to become a problem. I was considering shaving it off or something. Has anyone come across this problem? If so, how did you guys fix it up? Thanks

[black8thgen]

yeh. shave it lol

[ekay1]

ahahaha. Did you DIY it?

[black8thgen]

nar lol got it done when i got my guards rolled =D

[curtis265]

holyshitwtf is it stolen or something?

[ekay1]

Probably, pictures are as dodgy as the price is

[Stig]

did a check and says it has money owning on it lol

[ekay1]

Always a catch ahaha. Cars got scratches all over it as well

[Stig]

doesn't bother me for what i plan to do with it ;)

ohhh if i only had money to buy it LOL

[threesix]

didnt you just sell a black FD1?

[Stig]

lol yeah

the saying goes, 'all evo drivers go back to hondas'

haha

[threesix]

wonder why that is.

youve still got the evo though, right?

[ekay1]

why is that so though lol. personally id love to own an evo 9

[Stig]

yeah still got the evo,

just expensive to maintain for a daily basis, even if you leave it at home and dont drive it, it still costs money

changing all fluids alone cost me ~$350, and that was me changing it, workshops charge around 800, and you are recommended to do it on a regular basis

petrol is also another killer

you need a daily lol

most of my mates brought evo 7's before me, and didnt think it through, maintenance killed them so they all sold it within 6-12months of buying it

but if you know what you are getting into, then go for it!

[threesix]

haha... honda ftw!

[ej20i]

I sold my 2008 FD for 8K

[threesix]

[DuffyFD]

as low as my eyes are right nowwwwwwwwwwww

[aero]

is it still on stock suspension? looks pretty good even at that height

[aerithyn]

Yes I would love to make it lower. Except my whole street has 4 speedhumps and my driveway is on an angle. Already scraping at the front and back going up the driveway =\ . Buying an evo 9 soon !!!

[threesix]

i would move house if i couldnt have a lowered car.

Mad!!!

[xenonkuraz]

Damn that's quite nice. The first thing I thought when I saw that front bar was Audi rs4 lol

[threesix]

you gonna chop da springz asap bro? lol

[mikewl]

hey guys.. wondering which struct bar is better for our cars...... the V style one or the conventional one?

[Stig]

imo the front of the fd is pretty stiff, if you look under the the plastic cover where the wipers are you see a massive cross bar running across the car

i would get the cusco v mount though, looks sexier

is it better than the conventional one? no idea lol

[xenonkuraz]

Mate as Stig mentioned the FD already has a pretty stiff front with the bar under the cowl. If you were to buy a conventional type strut bar you'll need to hack up the front a bit as it won't go straight across IMO.

Go from my experience and don't get the cusco 3 point unless you want it for bling bling. I had one and although I noticed better handling it really gets in the way of things and probably does not work as well as a normal strut bar.

[mikewl]

ha. by conventional i meant the conventional style designed for fds .... it's not quite straight (yer tat one lol) sorta bendy on the ends. probably more worthwhile to get a bigger sway bar. thanks for the advice anyways..

[ej20i]

If this is going to your first suspension tuning, id go for the rear parts first, now the rear u can either go for the top strut bar (but u need to cut out your boot lining), or bottom 4 point strut which makes a whole lot difference and most importantly sway bar!

So you can correct your FD understeering and you'll have more fun

with adding front strut, ur just adding the understeer and u'll get frustrated, trust me, i was frustrated as i did the front end bit first

[mikewl]

understeer is gay seds my e30. haha... alright so you reckon swaybar then rear top struct bar.....i dno about the 4pt strut i aint that hectic on the road. Is that rear top strut bar worth cutting the carpet lol?

[curtis265]

rear sway bar should be first priority IMO

[ekay1]

rear sway bar should be first priority IMO

+ 1 try out the rear sway bar first. I think it'll help more than the rear strut

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum and i was wondering if you guys know where i can buy MUGEN VENTILATED VISOR Clips cause my friend accidently dropped it in the drain while helping me install the Visors on my car.
I'm also interested in buying it off people IF they sell.

thanks !

[mikewl]

i slammed my car today and i streaded about 5mm of my tyres >.> 235/45/17s

[aero]

Did u get the coils off khoi? LoL I told u when u first got the drift teks that the tyres would scrub crazy

[ynot2o99]

i was gonna get the coils off khoi... all paid for but he was lazy to take them off. so i went for some new coils off ebay when i get my money back :)

[mikewl]

yer we took it off today and switched on the spot..... hey aero how high can the back go lol... we raised it 110mm from first tread to first collar and half my tyre is still tucked in.

[aero]

Yeah, those coils are a bit weird. I had to put the rears on max height when I had some 18x9.5 +30 wheels with 235 tyres and no camber arms. There was only about a 2mm gap between the rear guard and tyre. I could get around on flat straight roads okay, but bumps and turns were aweful. To the point where smoke would pour fr
the tyres rubbing on the guards lol.

The coils do lowering very well, but are mot so good at raising. Just take ur wheels off til u can get some smaller tyres

[.k.]

Yeah Sorry Bao :(

On another note - stock sussy back in and now when on highway and around 110~ i randomly get periods of a few seconds each where the steering wheel shakes a lot? :S

Is it as simple as a wheel alignment or something else?

[DuffyFD]

Wheel alignment will usually fix this. Can also come from uneven camber or toe.

Sometimes it may be due to lower control arms that are on their way out too. When the rubber gets old and loose you get too much play.

Also check that your wheel nuts are all tight, but if it were loose nuts you'd likely hear clunking too.

[mikewl]

yer those coils are good for lowering..... it's a bitch for me coz i cant get into my house properly.... anyways on another note, they handle alright less body roll, i was smashing it around bends and straight and i rears wanted to give but they didnt lol but i was runnin steelies haha.... i might run 215/40/17 on the rear and 215/45 on the fronts.

[mikewl]

This is it on its highest settings =S

keen. pm me with details.

[aznboiio1]

anyone here got a manual or something that shows how the lights are connected, to the front parkers, rear license plate lights and the 2 lights on the trunk, they've all died for some reason -.- fml or if anyone here is an auto electrican that can help me, hit me with a pm :)

**note: i have changed the bulbs, just now

[EGB]

I don't know if you have already, check your fuses in engine bay and under dash.

[aznboiio1]

I don't know if you have already, check your fuses in engine bay and under dash.

done and done, i swap em out with the spare ones from under the lid, from the engine bay.

[itachi-kun]

they're mounted a bit low, dont u think? i'd be scared of scraping them on a driveway or speedbump or something.

[curtis265]

they look bloody good though!

[SaBReT00tH]

I just threw mine away and went back to halogens as that cheap taiwanese junk I bought from ebay finally conked out. Not worth the money. Every person I've ever talked to has had the same problem. Eventually my actual bulbs/harnesses died out too.

hm, probs mines dead thens,

Fuse 15 keeps blowing up -.-, ive changed it 3 times now since last friday.
any ideas?

[curtis265]

Something is shorting - what circuit is it protecting?

[aznboiio1]

Something is shorting - what circuit is it protecting?

Its Small Lights (exterior) according to the manual, which i think is front parkers and the
lights on the trunk besides the reversing one.

*note i have a pair of LED License plate bulbs, and Eagle Eye headlights.

[DuffyFD]

Have you changed either of them recently?

Try with some normal licence plate bulbs. If it keeps blowing then try the angel rings.

My guess is the angel eyes though.

I've had the headlights put in last year and led license plate since the begining of this year, hm
Yeah Needa find some time to swap em out

[ekdez]

is anyone going to the ozhonda nationals at wakefield?

[ekay1]

I heard theres a fd2r going!

[ekdez]

No one is going to watch?

Geezzz we are a dying breed of civics ...

[threesix]

The silence is defining. lol

[EGB]

I will be going and may be competing if I can complete my brake setup

[eNGee]

Yepz. All the oldies but goldies (stig, aero, ej20i, murrayfd, jace, curtis) etc have parted out and $$old up.

Unfortunately, the flame burnt out long, long ago. No one left willing to carry the baton. Even still, it's all been covered already.

This thread is now perhaps just a lost cause.

[threesix]

not when there is a turbo FD2 in the build.....

[Stevil]

would love 2 go to the Nationals and fling the FD1 around Wakefield but a trip to the NT is booked, will be running at the track a few days later with my new brake set up (slotted DBA 4000 and QFM pads ). Good to have a choice with some good Aussie made perf parts.

[xenonkuraz]

spot on there.

I have some updates for you guys coming SOON!
