Maybe special promo? Or was it a demo? Or they just chucked it on for you cos they thought you were a nice person.

[dannybubu]

anyone got buddy club N+ spec dampeners? if so how much and what do they think of it on the FD's?

i thought vti-l comes with exhaust tip already for 2007 as default

[JaCe]

TBH not too sure. I didn't pay close attention to those details for the different year models.

[ktvin09]

i thought vti-l comes with exhaust tip already for 2007 as default

Yea I do realise that my VTI-L has different alloy rim design as some other seen on the road, I'm thinking the more recent makes comes with different rims. Mine comes wih 16" alloy with Bridgestone tyres... is anyone out there found that too?

Here's a pic of my rim and exhaust... is that the exhaust tip you guys are referring to?

[xqwzit]

from 07 the vti-L comes with 16" wheels like yours, the other design is 06 model and they are 15".

and no thats not the tip we are talking about

[JaCe]

Those are the newer model rims- they look pretty hot. I like the FD2 rims as well now. Sigh, my 06 VTi-L rims are not so pretty :(

And no different exhaust tip; look in my other photos. This is a dodgy photo but it'll do until I can find the ones which showed direct comparison;
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3129/tipsur5.th.jpg (http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tipsur5.jpg)

Otherwise if you go back to around page 79 where I installed the LED tail lamps, you can see the exhaust tips.

The 17" rims on the current Sport are actually the previous model CTR hatch's rims (the british made type R). You can see them here on the Top Gear review:

Btw, how did you set up the rear seat floor leds/neons?

[dmx]

love ur 250KW stuff mate, 'SO SICK":thumbsup:

[kazam]

he had them professionally installed and their led's bought from ebay, they look very nice reflecting of the darker floor mats... his car actually duzn't look rice, no exterior mods wat so ever, sept the grille and the kappa sticker (if that counts) so it looks better than non stock but very suttle... oh and he used a sh!t camera coz his grille looks very nice in person and his HID's look wicked as.

oh and btw CRACKER get back 2 studying im telling your family u spent valuable studying time taking photos of your car to post on ozhonda! they wont be happy, im telling your brother first!

I don't use one :( Haven't seen anyone got one here before on the FD.

[Shimian]

Going to get an exhaust hopefully in 2-3 weeks time. I think the Magnaflow is looking good as its not too expensive and gives out a good sound. Remus starting price is $900 :eek: Money saved will go towards a vented bonnet :thumbsup:

[Aco3n]

visconti is using remus.. just ask him for further info.. i think..

[Shimian]

ah nah. im going for the dual tip look. Love the twin "Turbo" remus tips

[JaCe]

I reckon the stock Honda chrome exhaust tips (dual) actually look pretty good for a mainstream 4 cylinder car.

[Shimian]

agree with the stock exhaust with tips. But when you have mugen kit installed, the tips sit about 2 inches inside the kit. You cant see it at all.

If price is not too much, im going for the Remus twin turbo. :thumbsup:

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh46/Shimian8/twin_turbo_b.jpg

[xenfacta]

they look hawt

[Shimian]

specs are 4" tips each. So spans across about 8.3inches. Should fill up the mugen skirt gap nicely

[JaCe]

they look hawt

very much agreed (re remus)

[happy]

they look hawt
look scary. install exhaust system'll void your new car warranty

serious? Now im having 2nd thoughts. Im not gonna spend over 1k for stock sound. But every sound i hear is nice and sweet.
Maybe i should now change to magnaflow? What i want is a nice deep bassy tone.

IMO, stock exhaust is dead quiet. Surely this cant be??

[cracker]

why dont u get a catback

[Shimian]

muffler is fine for now. Maybe ill get the rest done later.

[cracker]

yes sir

[Shimian]

:confused: same price i think

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/jasperdmx/ozhonda/market/Remus-Sport.jpg

what is the max dimension these tips can fit on?

its not exactly like stock, but only slightly louder compared to stock, just not as loud as others out there.. which i like actually :p

i used to have xforce on my previous car and it its much louder/bassy

[Shimian]

does the nice bassy sound kick in when u rev to 2k, 3k, 4k+?

[visconti]

its getting louder 4k+
or probably have a look at Sebring, they have nice sounds too IMO, and cheaper than remus

[dmx]

what is the max dimension these tips can fit on?

not sure, in catalog say it's fit to stock pipe.
i only see(got) brabus/hamman/mugen tips from them.

[jpwwong]

muffler...meaning you can just fit these tips onto existing stock exhausts and get the sound like those turbo cars? Issit possible to DYI?

[Shimian]

lol, no ur not gonna get sound like those turbo cars. The tips are for looks only. The stock exhaust comes with these chicken legs tips. Adding the remus ones will make them look tougher. If you want sound, you have to change the whole muffler (+ other pipings if u wish).

What the damage for Remus set?

Could you post the picture for Hamman tip ?
And Mugen RR pedal ?

DIY can be done only for tip.

[visconti]

What the damage for Remus set?

can't remember, i got it 3-4 years ago, but i'm guessing current damage is approx. 450-500 brand new for remus universal from overseas

[me_kevinly]

:confused: same price i think

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/jasperdmx/ozhonda/market/Remus-Sport.jpg

is that remus just the tip??

yupe

[me_kevinly]

will that remus tip fit FD??
if yes anyone know the price??

[kazam]

lol that'll get deleted as soon as a mod reads it, since selling for noobies is a big nono, theres a reason y u cant post in the market place ;)

[Stig]

thats why everyone should read it quickly before it gets deleted haha
i knew i was gonna get flammed for this

[Jo_e]

put it in ur sig if u want to sell it =]

[Stig]

haha selling of stuff via sig just got banned...

[JaCe]

there's reasons why noobs aren't allowed to sell stuff...

[cracker]

what reasons

[ej20i]

thats stoopid...got so many crap to sell but cant even post!

[markCivicVti]

See it this way, you don't own this forum... and if the owner doesn't want you to sell things if you're new then you gotta just deal with it and earn membership and then you can sell.

Ozhonda doesn't want to be blamed for when new ppl sell stuff and do it dishonestly (i.e not as described or not ever shipped) and other members lose money.

[ksyu223]

Hey guys, I've never worked with vinyl before so do you think it's possible to black out the chrome bits on the original grill?

The grille is a noticeable area so I would like a really great finish!

[cracker]

vinyl? as in...vinyl records? scratch dem shit on the turntablez!

[JaCe]

Ozhonda doesn't want to be blamed for when new ppl sell stuff and do it dishonestly (i.e not as described or not ever shipped) and other members lose money.

That's how I see it. Not so much here, but on overseas forums, there have been many instances of bad sellers and even fake group buys with new users signing up, promising great (or even realistic/decent) prices, and then disappearing. If someone has been a long-term contributor to the OH forums, they're less likely to be here just to pull a quick one- whilst there is always the risk, it's much less.

And yes I'm aware there's a reputation system but not everyone pays attention to that.

[denot]

And yes I'm aware there's a reputation system but not everyone pays attention to that.

and how does this "newcomer" become "member" anyway? just by "rep" points? how many do we need to become a member?

[JaCe]

and how does this "newcomer" become "member" anyway? just by "rep" points? how many do we need to become a member?

No idea TBH. I think it's based on posts/time since joining OH. Ultimately it's not the be-all/end-all or even the deciding factor, but it's something worth considering when buying/selling.

[markCivicVti]

To be a member you need to have joined for 3 months and at least received one +rep point.

[wilzee]

can someone give me a rep point? I've been on this forum for so long and no one's given me a rep point.

[denot]

can someone give me a rep point? I've been on this forum for so long and no one's given me a rep point.

[denot]

man... maybe i AM noob... can anyone tell me what icon to click? cant see on that "EXPERT" thread. also, I click this Icon with tool tip "Add to XXX Reputation" (which i thought this is what the moderator says on the other forum) but cant find any "select either "Good" or "Poor" in the box that pops up" bleh... I'm sooo NOOB!!! anyway thanks for the explanations... now get back to the topicall NOOBIES AND EXPERTS out there!!!!

[kazam]

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z97/SO51CK/rep.jpg


once u click that the reputation box comes up and then u click "i approve" and thats giving people rep points and obviously i dissaprove gives em neg reps and the reason they may not count is because u may have less than 100 rep points your self (u said u have records stating you've bin given hits, but the people that hit u are probly the same noobs in this thread so they have less than 100 points so their hits dont count 4 neting).


i really hope that helps bcoz if that duznt clear it up for u then u deserve to be stuck on newcomer status for your entire life

shutup noob i no were u live

[inzpector]

does anyone know how to disconnect the feature where the key is in the ignition and the door is open....

Yes I too found this constant beeping offensive when cleaning my car.
As soon as you open the drivers door you will see the black rubber switch/sensor next to the metal thingo that the drivers door locks onto.
I have tried placing a large sticker over this so the car thinks the door is always closed. This is not ideal as you will not get a warning light if your driver door is ajar. Also, the chiming noise which should sound, when the keys are removed and the fog/low beam/driving lights are on will fail to sound at all.
Leaving lights on has led me to draining my battery twice now, once in the first week of ownership (did not understand warning chime) and once last week(sticker mod left on during rainy drive to work)
I only place a sticker over this switch when cleaning the car now.

My mods:
-Tints
-Mats+Additional rubber mats in front
-Visors
-Mudguards
-Pollen filter
-JVC 4 channel 1000w amp powering front speakers and sub only.
-Kenwood 12" sub
6 stack HU and all door speakers remain standard.
Listen to trance music only via mp3 CDr, very loud very clear.
-Surge protected jumper leads in the boot!

[tRipitaka]

guys, leave the spam to the spam thread.

this thread is about posting your mods, not about becoming a member etc.

[ktvin09]

Anyone know if its possible to turn of the beeping warning sound when the driver seat belt is not used? I know this is not right but just wanted to know if its possible. CHeers!

[Shimian]

i read somewhere that there is a plug under the drivers seat. FD1 has 1 plug whereas FD2 has 2. One of the plugs is for the side airbag. So take a guess :p

[Riviera]

Hey guys, I've never worked with vinyl before so do you think it's possible to black out the chrome bits on the original grill?

easy as pie mate, im a signwriter... those grilles would be easy as to wrap in vinyl

[Riviera]

Anyone know if its possible to turn of the beeping warning sound when the driver seat belt is not used? I know this is not right but just wanted to know if its possible. CHeers!

its not safe to do that mate lol.... i didnt tell you but the switch is in your
belt buckle... the seat belt clip itself just flicks a switch inside the belt buckle turning the beeping off...

you could possibly disconnect it inside the belt buckle itself and risk a defect...
or disconnect it under the dash and still risk a defect lol or just leave it alone
and enjoy the safety features

safety first !!! :thumbsup:

[ktvin09]

Thx Shimian & Riviera. Will take your advice mate, after all it may save my life one day...

[SaBReT00tH]

SOoooooo. Can anyone give me some sources of where I can currently find a Grill with Type R badge holder for the Civic FD1?

also, on another topic, can anyone changed the colour of the bulbs in their tail lights to say white fluros? I think I saw a pic on ebay and from what I remember it looked a lot nicer :)

[JaCe]

I've only changed my tail lamps to LEDs.

[Datuk]

Nice!

PM DMX, he the only one who has it.


1st, don't like the hole curve under stock grille (honda badge).
2nd, don't like mugen grille (too dark for black color FD .. for me)
3rd, don't like mugen type-r grille (top grille too short and not chrome too)
4th, don't like mugen RR/dominator grille (carbon fiber also still little bit dark for black color)
5th, last option, oem TYPE-R grille :o

Thank you shimian! i've been trying to get him to remove those damn things for like 6 months now.
I think we need to remove it for him whilst his not looking XD

Trust me, if it was easy to remove, I'd do it.

[markCivicVti]

Oh Jace.... I thought you wouldn't touch a replica kit with a ten foot pole!?

By rear bumper did you mean rear lip? I actually forgot to look properly... it is a mugen lip kit right?

[JaCe]

Yeh it is. And the replica kit isn't as fantastic as it could've been- there are still tiny gaps and I can def see difference between genuine Mugen and replica ><

[markCivicVti]

Oh well, congrats anyway... your car is looking good! I was gonna slap on the mugen kit... had the money ready when I first got my FD... but simply couldn't justify it.. wish i had tho :P oh well.

lol. everyone with replica seems to have problems in different areas. Where are your gaps located? I guess you cant really complain. $700 vs $2500

People, I just found out. The mugen design is DEFECTIVE. I foundout the hard way. Normally bodykits/under spoilers are designed flat underneath. unfortunately the mugen kit has two bumps underneath and as this kit is Low as f*ck the first thing that will touch the driveway is the bumps. Normally with a flat underspoiler/bodykit the pressure is distributed equally but with the mugen kit it causes it to go into one position which in turn causes the bumper extension to bend and flex up, whilst the paint does not. Thus causes the paint to crack from the top where it joins to the body and eventually flake off!!!!


I was told there is no solution to this. The only way would be to remove the front mugen spoiler. I've tried to combat this with inflating my tyres to the max to gain an extra few mms ground clearance.

There are also problems with changing foglights. One can no longer change the fogs normally, for the whole front bumper must now be removed with difficulty and care (and at least 2 people) as the power lead is short.

[cracker]

damn...its a shame u found out the hard way

[Jo_e]

lol and jeff just got his on the weekend...
from memory he's already scraped the bottom :P

[andyhui01]

^pfft... you guys don't even know how to drive low cars if you scrape your FD's with a mugen kit, my friend has a prelude that sits about 6 inches off the ground and I can drive it all day in and out of driveways and bumps without scraping, its all about the angles :P

You could have sanded it before painting it. Ive scraped mine about 3-4 times now. Kit still strong.

I agree with foggies. Cant do it the old fashion way. You can either go from underneath or via fender

[JaCe]

i wouldn't say it's a defective design; just that it's very impractical on a car designed for daily driver usage lol. mine is already half scraped off but at least can't be seen.

[SaBReT00tH]

andyhui ---> 6 inches is MASS clearance. That's at least 15cm. After lowering my car half an inch I'd say my clearance is on the legal limit with my tyres pumped up well (10cm).

Shimian --> Yeah I would've sanded the bottom bumps off if I'd known early. If I see any problems with it hitting and screwing up the rest of my paint then I will definitely be sanding it off from underneath. As for the foggies I find it extremely hard to open my fender as the plastic under my wheel well is very hard and inflexible. It's especially hard when the car has been lowered and there isn't much room to play around with.

By going underneath in changing the fogs do you mean removing the fender or a different part? If so, which part?

[Shimian]

underneath via fender. You will need to use a mirror to see. You will need to flex a fender in order to put ur hand in. Once its in, its basically by feel. But its much better than going via wheel fender way

[Aco3n]

i had to remove the whole bumper when i installed the foggies.. the kit is blocking the spot..

[amurray]

thought i might post of the pic of my new rims and LIFT kit.. have to wait for new susspension so we lifted it lol... its like a bus...

they are 20 x 8.5 lol

holy crap those r fat

[cracker]

[FallenAngel]

lol and jeff just got his on the weekend...
from memory he's already scraped the bottom :P

Haha, I think the two bits of my front lip have like decreased in size by about 1/2 the original length.... :(


hahah ur so high

All i can say is lol...

[SaBReT00tH]

ammuray --> what type of rims are they? Also, did ur Civic come stock with 15s/65 profile? By suspension do you mean you're putting new shockers in or springs?


By drives like a bus do you mean that the turning circle is a lot less tighter now because of the bigger rims and you can feel every pebble in the road so the ride is not comfortable anymore? Are your brakes feeling useless at the moment because they're having stopping your heavy 20s?

I've dreamed of putting chrome 20s as most of the ideal styles I like only start at the 20 inch size but have been very reluctant because of the problems mentioned above (comfort of ride, steering, brakes, cops, insurance)

[JaCe]

I think 20's will kill the car's handling/performance unless you do some serious mods to make them fit comfortably.

[amurray]

by bus i ment the car has the same clearance.. handleing wize i have not really had a chance to test it because of massive scrubbing... its gettin put on coilover's.. just waiting for a few places to get back to me on avalabilty .. i dont care what type i just need them asap... they make the car a bit slower... but not much... handling.. i think will inprove once i get it all set up nicely... but it does not really matter lol its just gettin done a show car really...

the rims are Status Dynasity 20x8.5

Yes i did have 15/65 on there before lol

[Phlirt]

amurray - being 8.5 wide do the rims scrub on the strut tower? i was gonna get 20's but after doing some measurements i thought the tyre or will if i slammed it would rub on the strut - so i decided to get coilovers before rims.

[Jo_e]

Maybe thats wat the guys with the bodykit need. a lift kit or 20'' so the thing wont scrape against curbs and driveways :P

[SaBReT00tH]

aren't coilevers just adjustable springs? Isn't it gonna look crap with all that gap if you increase the height too much?

[Phlirt]

i guess you could call coilovers adjustable springs - but they replace the entire strut/spring package - the standard ones are pretty wide where as a coilover is alot thinner meaning you can have a wider tyre/rim fitted.

once i have my coilovers i dont plan on being high and on 20's - even if it requires a hammer and angle grinder lol

[amurray]

it only scrubs on the guard.. there is heaps of room between the strut and the tyre... the coilovers have alot of adjustment.. so that u can sqweeze it into the guards lol.. they are also hight adjustable.. and will limmit movement so the tyre will not bottom out

[Phlirt]

^^^

ah ok - the part of the guard its hitting - is that metal or plastic surround?

[amurray]

the plastic... thats all gettin cut out.. and the guards are gettin the phat treatment lol

[Phlirt]

awesome - im glad someone has done it before me so i know what to expect - cheers amurray

[wilzee]

I've bought a new front lip sprayed it at the paintshop. Going to install it next week when i have the time. My current lip is ruined (still on) due to scaping and an incident with my old man. But yeah, I hardly ever scape now. Practice makes perfect..

[SaBReT00tH]

does anyone know if there's any way to paint the mugen kit where the paint won't peel off? I know with factory painting they use high tech electrons and shit to make it stick to the plastic body but I was wondering if there's some kind of flex paint or anything which can be used so rather than all the paint cracking and peeling from a driveway just one little cm comes off and doesn't affect the rest.

[cracker]

high tech electrons?...man u sound like my chemistry teacher lol

Who said anything about "high tech electrons", its basically a massive spray gun machine thingy that does it... nothing about high tech... just 1 phat machine.

Even with small workshops they just use a high pressure spray gun and its the properties of the paint that will determine if it'll stick to the material being sprayed upon.

Is your existing lip paint peeling...? If so who the heck painted it? Sounds really dodgy.

Even with mine, cracked, "fins" scraped till its nearly flat :(, and still No Flaking occurs..

Nice car, I got my old rims from Jax at castle hill too! :wave: I didnt know they sold lensos. Was the guys name Danny or something?

[FallenAngel]

How do you know your shocks are dead???

I have king springs aswell

I can feel it being considerably weaker compared to the stock height. It doesn't absorb "shocks" in the road where in my mum's car (recently replaced shocks) its so soft although it might be also because of the springs... and when driving the road sound is pretty loud.... (if u get what i mean..)

[FallenAngel]

Although i don't have king springs, i think i have dodgy ryder springs from pedders.. (dad got them done for me awhile ago)

[Frost_FD]

I thought it was normal to hear and feel all these knocks and noise when lowering your car on springs...

But then again you do track your car, yours may wear out much faster.

[ej20i]

i didnt get my rims from jax, i got it from tempe...did i mistype or summin?soz..

[SaBReT00tH]

Joe --> did ur paint begin to crack and falloff when u scraped your mugen kit? I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to leave my kit on unpainted as the paint won't stayon when it scrapes so often. Still looks ok, the body of the car looks better with the kit on than without. I'm also going to leave my 17/45/215 mags on and not go 19s because a 35 profile tyre would be way too rough. The ride is compromised already by lowering the car a little and going from 65 to 45.

R u refering to me? If you are, i dont have a civic anymore, im more here to make fun of JaCe. But i used to have one similar to Jace but without the kit. You should PM him about the paint issue, but i think everyone is refering to the bottom of the bumper scraping. Not the top, sideskirts or the rear.
and yes. dont go 19, it will be very rough.

Transition between gears feels so much smoother and it doesn't struggle anymore, especially when accelerating around corners and in particular overtaking.

[markCivicVti]

Well... with a SRI there's a whole lot less that can go wrong. I would say next to no risk... just make sure that your filter hasn't had a hole burnt through etc. If the KnN typhoon has the air flow sensor (which of course it does) then it really isn't changing much from stock... just adding sound.. *perhaps* it might breather better.

well yeh it does make your car sound better and allows more air to be taken in.

but i've heard that since it takes more air in that it makes your engine dirtier more quickly.

not sure if that's something you want just for slightly better sound and performance (if any).

just my thoughts

[markCivicVti]

I don't think the KnN filters would be doing a worse job than the OEM honda filters.

especially not on n FD1 maybe on a dc2r or dc5r or nething R really then yeh coz they made to get maximum performance out of stock, but not your cars they more luxury

[markCivicVti]

Very interesting howy! At first I was saddened by how poorly the K&N did... now I almost don't care... as I find the dirt negligable... not saying that Honda will do the same. One interesting point is the oil used to clean/service the Filter will destroy your air flow sensor if it gets into the wiring.. which apprently there are quite a few documented cases.

Very interesting... but I don't think this will worry me.

You guys might be interested in this mod thats starting to take the singapore civic community by storm. The Installer is working flat out to meet demand. I managed to get one when I was there last week. will install when the weather gets better.

doesnt look hard at all

go to autobaaaaan or where ever buy a central locking kit for like $35

Just did the mod this arvo. fairly easy job (half hour).
just note that its not just an actuator, there's a little module that senses the door unlock signal (you need to activate twice for the boot release) that needs to be spliced into the system.

[Riviera]

kool as doesnt seem that complicated thats all
so i wana try it out lol

[howy]

could anyone write up a simple DIY for the boot release please? :)

[mkefalia]

Well... I've just spent all evening "researching" exhaust options... So hopefully I'll get some replies and finally do my first mod soon :)


For those of you who stated you had a cat-back exhaust system installed, what do you have? Something custom? As I can't find a single FD1 specific cat-back system.

Any help?

I have been searching for weeks for exhaust options for my FD2, so far come up trumps. I did find one by J Racing on ebay but it looks like a racing exhaust. I started a thread in the forum regarding cat-back exhaust options for my fd2 but nobody knows. I think we have to wait a bit for FD1's and FD2's

Use as a guide only. Perform mod at your own risk.

You will need the module (which interprets second door lock release signal to release boot lock and an actuator)

1) remove floor trim on front passenger side. from inside wire loom, locate yellow door lock release trigger wire. (note: not to be mistaken for side airbag sensor wire which is also yellow)
2) add a splice to this wire and run a 22g wire from there along the floor into the trunk.
3) The module has 3 wires. (line to earth, line to actuator and line to yellow wire). Once you join up the 3 wire, attach the module to the boot lid with 3M double sided tape.
4) the actuator has 2 lines,(line to module and line to earth. Attach the actuator to the boot (refer to picture elsewhere in this thread). ensure enough slack when boot lid latch is in locked position.

there you're done

[Mini-Euro]

Looks Hectic dude

[howy]

wow..

that's really bright

[Shimian]

nice set up for both gerard and applio.

Gerard: Agree with with mini euro, looks complex.

Applio: I wouldnt mind making my boot brighter. At the moment, i have a strip of LEDs in the boot installed near the rear for better lighting. Interior, i like mine dim. Gives a nice mood feel :p

yeh I actually turn my centre interior lights off coz i find i don't actually need it for anything.

i've recently installed philips blue visions into my fd1, they seem to be sufficient. Not as good as the HID's i had before but atleast they're ADR approved and legal :)

my parkers are also blue visions but they're more yellow than white, anyone know which bulbs are best for a whiter colour?

Use MTEC parkers. They are white and bright.

[SaBReT00tH]

Applio --> how many watts are PCB SMD? are they LCD or what? super bright HID?

[civic_07]

Use MTEC parkers. They are white and bright.

^^^ yep, very nice white these MTEC, got them for my FD1 and i don't even need to turn on the HID when backing out of the driveway at 5 am :thumbsup:. Get them from one of the trader here.
