[Areis]

[ekay1]

ahaha fastest modder i swear

[Areis]

Also put my Front under arm bar on... Although people say back should be done first, I'm happy with it. The car became a lot more fun to drive

[DuffyFD]

edit#

[Areis]

Which ones the UR bracing? Pm me a price :D

[mikewl]

and i have front v strut bar for you =)

[black8thgen]

I need to sell my UR under braces as well lol. Car hangs over speed jumps =.=...

[Areis]

Anyone changed the OEM foggies to HIDs?

[pitiek]

That was my first mod, HID headlight plus foggies.. 6000K and 4300K

[DuffyFD]

2 bowls of rice?

When I bought mine 2nd hand, my first mod was to remove the HIDs.

Less attention, better vision at night with some quality halogens.

[ekdez]

my foggies are 8000K hid's, drivers and parkers are standard yellow tho.

[Areis]

How do I do the foggies lol? Can I just pull the plastic casing out and just errrr..... Hope it works?

[black8thgen]

go in from the plastic fenders and try find somewhere to mount them. if its too hard u gonna have to remove bumper. very limited space on the passenger side through the fender lol cos of the stupid air intake resonator =.=

[Areis]

+1 what a sickunt

[ekdez]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?111443-HID-on-your-Civic-FD&highlight=HID

[Areis]

Holy shit.... I think I'll have to remove the bumper.... Anyone from Sydney removing their bumper soon? We can do it together :P

[DuffyFD]

It's easy peasy. jack car up, pop a few plastic plugs (or cable-ties), undo two screws from inside the wheel arches, and then pull outwards on either side.

I don't advise HID's man, you'll be another person on the road that blinds me with their fu*king headlights xD

[mikewl]

go on my diy thread shows u how to remove the bumper.

[Areis]

Dw Duffy, its just HID's for the foggies! I got projector headlights so yeah lols. And that mikewl, I'll c heck it out. I need to buy a jack TT

[black8thgen]

just use the one that comes with ur car u noob lol

also me and tim removed our bumpers without jacking it up, its possible.. but putting it back on is a bitch if it isnt elevated lol

[DuffyFD]

Yeah you can no problem unless you're lowered.

Photo from yesterday at work.

[jprak]

Holy shit.... I think I'll have to remove the bumper.... Anyone from Sydney removing their bumper soon? We can do it together :P

im doing my foggies at SHIFT performance next week, too scared to rip off the bumper xD

[Kenninho]

lol, in the fender there's two holes in which you can mount the ballast onto through zipties. Taking off the bumper isn't much to worry. Make sure you align the clips that's all, don't wanna be bending clips. honestly though, i don't see the point in HID foggies, actually I don't see the point in foggies at all, apart from looking good.

[black8thgen]

unless u get yellow fogs theres no point to them lol... i just swappd my bulbs out for this huge stick of SMD/LED white lights lol just to match my hid low beams..

[DuffyFD]

I was thinking of getting a similar stack of SMD's for my reverse light.

At the moment I think it's like 4 SMD's on a T10 connector, and its nowhere near bright enough!

[Kenninho]

T10's aren't spose to be bright

[Areis]

3000k foggies ;)

[mikewl]

save the money. best mod = coils. function and form.

Guys my dad gave me his air filter from his mx5. It's k&n and still good condition. Is it better to get custom piping with it (as it's just the filter) or should I just save up and get the injen CAI?

[ekdez]

i got a J's Racing Titanium 60RS if anyone is looking for a nice cat back exhaust system :) - cheap cheap! 1K! pm me if u want.

[EGB]

Guys my dad gave me his air filter from his mx5. It's k&n and still good condition. Is it better to get custom piping with it (as it's just the filter) or should I just save up and get the injen CAI?

You will require custom piping if you have a FD2 Sport.

The injen kit is for USA models, it requires fitment of the RBC manifold and unfortunately its not a direct bolt on for our engines.

Your probably best off looking for a SRI from another model/make of car which uses same air flow sensor.

[black8thgen]

areis just get the simota intake i got lol it does the job. u cant expect any real power gains out of an intake for the k20z2 engine tbh anyway so dont bother hassling urself lol.

on another note... who wants to buy my car =D

[.k.]

still need to sell mine but new addition to the family :)

i literally cant find where i saved the pictures.. i think they are friends house lol

[DuffyFD]

picked up and installed a clarion vx709a with nav in 3 hours. ****in intense night.

[pitiek]

Did you get a wire harness for FD?

[ekay1]

spotted a purple fd with a mugen kit and visors and transformers badge (please take it off) on parra road. Anybody from here??

[DuffyFD]

Did you get a wire harness for FD?

nope. soldering ftw!

Theres SO many wires for the nav unit it's not funny, they're all int eh glovebox at the moment, I will need to find a home for them!

[asgr8]

I have an iPad at home which i don't use at much as i should. Its iPad 1 i was wondering if anyone used or thought about iPad installation in car as a media player and all. I have seen few videos on youtube but not much about honda plus iPad. What do you guys think about it ? Ideas? Suggestions?

[DuffyFD]

I've seen it done in a wrx before, but not in our civic. To pull it off properly you will either need to be very handy or spend quite a bit getting a custom bracket made. Looks great if done properly though.

[xenonkuraz]

Meh just got home from work. Started at 4pm -_- guess i won't be able to wake up as early as planned

[Areis]

Intake and relocation to fog light tomorrow + hid foggies and angel eye headlights. Can't wait...

[black8thgen]

what intake u end up getting?

[Areis]

just the k&n with custom piping

[black8thgen]

how much u get quoted for custom piping? and where at? =D

[Areis]

Didn't ask for quote. Getting it done by Vince rigoli

[xenonkuraz]

So today I managed to remove the cowl cover, cowl plate, manifold heat shield, and that's it.

I couldn't get the three bottom bolts off the manifold! I tried everything...wd40, ceramic freeze, hardcore strength, nothing worked!

Give up for the day.

[ekdez]

you didnt try love.

[EGB]

This is what I do. Usually use a mild steel pipe about 1.5m long lol, can undo anything lol. Torque ftw.

http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8884/1001575rj.jpg

[xenonkuraz]

yeah man if I could fit that in behind the already pint size gap i'd do it! would be so easy if the engine was the other way around :(

[Areis]

Hectic! Intake finished.

[black8thgen]

Pics!

[ekdez]

Areis, got an exhaust yet?

[DuffyFD]

want an exhaust!

[Areis]

Nope no exhaust lol.

[black8thgen]

dez wants u to buy his js racing titanium exhaust lol =P

[Areis]

I'll buy it if you want to wait like 3-4 months lol

[black8thgen]

lol areis slow down on the mods or u wont be able to appreciate what each mod does... trust me i made the same mistake.. makes u greedy and poor =P

[xenonkuraz]

yeah if you do it all at once its much harder to appreciate each bit of it

[Areis]

Yeh lol, but I haven't really done any mods to the car... After I get the spoiler done, I'm stopping for a few months. Gotto save $$$ for overseas :)

[black8thgen]

Good progress with turbo build!!
http://blog.kontera.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/like.png

[xqwzit]

What turbo kit is this?

[xenonkuraz]

What turbo kit is this?

Turbo Specialties extreme kit, with the following upgrades: GT2860RS turbo, HKS SSQV and GReddy Emanage Ultimate & PnP harness.

It's got some fantastic components, i.e. all lines are braided, 410cc honda injectors (the best), genius oil return system and everything is completely bolt-on.

The turbo JUST cleared below the cowl plate and the intercooler routing is spot on.

Here's how it looks from the site:

http://turbokits.com/images/parts/hqln3435HQK%2020%20KIT%20PICTURE.jpg

[ekay1]

nice nice nice. Can't wait to see the finished product :) You gonna track it or just a daily?

[Stig]

how much gains are you expecting?

[xenonkuraz]

It all depends on the tune...Paul from Chasers will be doing it so I am pretty confident to expect good gains + reliability. The internal gate is set around 6-8psi but I would be guessing if I told you how many KW.

However 150kw atw would be plenty for daily driving.

Also I currently have stock cat and stock exhaust piping so once I upgrade those I should get a lot more!

[mikewl]

Oh its the original type R lol seen this car in real life, its a beast....... Gotta see to believe

[xenonkuraz]

The kit is fully installed...now they are prepping the ECU for tuning :)

[ekay1]

The kit is fully installed...now they are prepping the ECU for tuning :)

Ohhhh shit! i wonder how much it'll dyno :)

Nice, need to know the figures. Might be interested as well :)

love your work. OG for sure.

please lower it tho. :)

[xenonkuraz]

OG?

Tuning today :D

[EGB]

how much is make?

[xenonkuraz]

Unfortunately ran into problems early on...the PnP harness may be incompatible with my car :( its made for the FG2...can't see how it would be much different to the FD2...

[howy]

any way to fix it?

hmm.. that's annoying.

[Areis]

just saw ur civic Duffy in carlingford. looks nice man

[DuffyFD]

Thanks man, spent a few hours today raising it so I can get in the shopping centre car parks. & did the 80k service.

Needs a wash badly lol

[mikewl]

who here has the remote boot release? any good?

[DuffyFD]

i do mikewl, yep its nice

[aero]

I have one also. Makes things so much more convenient

[jprak]

how much did the boot remote cost + labor?

oh btw guys, have you guys change the interior material on the side of your car to something like this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110513054354?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2774wt_1396

[aero]

the module and actuator costs about $50-$80. all u need to buy is some wire and electrical tape from bunnings or something and install it urself. there should be an old DIY on this forum. just search for it.

as for the material on the doors. i have had some black pleather to put on on my door trims, but its a bit tricky to take off the trims from the door to do it properly, so i hadnt been bothered to do so lol. i dont wanna just use spray adhesive and glue them over the top of the standard trim

[DuffyFD]

yeah, I'm thinking of getting the RR seats, and then re-trimming the doors with either black or red.

[black8thgen]

how much r the RR seats?

[DuffyFD]

Timmie's ones. A million dollars :)

[black8thgen]

lol hes got fd2r seats =P

[DuffyFD]

Oops yep that's what I meant - sorry having a shithouse monday

[howy]

Got some new shoes (tyres) yesterday, Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002.

Feel so glued to the road now, haha.

[xenonkuraz]

My car got dyno'd today ;) no official results yet as it was a run-in tune. Ran into a bit of a hiccup too...after they switched it off the couldn't start it up again because the factory ecu locked them out.

So tomorrow hopefully they'll diagnose the problem and should be good to go :D

[xenonkuraz]

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/5361/img1685ze.jpg

Check out that power curve ;)

Stock exhaust apart from muffler, would expect a big gain with more free flowing exhaust and winding up the turbo a few psi.

Stay tuned for more!

[howy]

totally awesome!

how much psi is it on atm?

[Stig]

3" turbo back ftw

[Areis]

Very nice!

[xenonkuraz]

I think the wastegate actuator is set around 6-7psi.

On my way home from the workshop I encountered a CEL :( the workshop told me not to worry as long as the car feels okay...

Boost comes on so damn quick...I find it hard to stay in vacuum

and the BOV is so audible haha

[DuffyFD]

So you're a Happy camper? :)

[xenonkuraz]

Oh yeah

[threesix]

winning! 3" all the way for sure.

have you got sway bars fitted or any bracing etc?

[xenonkuraz]

I took all suspension mods off prior to fitting the turbo kit to see what effect I would get with more power. I get a little bit of wheel spin in first if I launch it but still corners great with part throttle

[DuffyFD]

get ready toooooo UNDERSTEEER and axletramp everywhere :)

[black8thgen]

Who wants fd2r seats?

[aero]

impromptu car wash on an overcast day. wooo! lol

http://i41.tinypic.com/wwj241.jpg

[DuffyFD]

looking nice aero!

I reckon the mugen kits really come off well if you could relocate the no. plate

[mikewl]

[xenonkuraz]

Man I wish I could get some recaros with airbags

[ekay1]

Xeno why not get fn2r seats?

[euRo_noob]

Whoa xenonkuraz, you're located in Sunshine but I've never seen your car around; I'm from West Sunshine (white CU2 with a black roof). I'm from the Euro section but just thought I'd pop by the Civic's to have a peak :P You guys have some nicely done up FD's.

Also, guys from Melbourne/west side, is there a thread/mod list/pics for a gray FD(2?) with a carbon fiber bonet, forgot what rims, lowered? Not sure if the description is actually helpful but yeah.. Just curious to know what mods the owner has done.

[xenonkuraz]

Dude I see your CU2 drive down Glengala road EVERYDAY HAHA come to the upcoming honda meet im organising. It kinda sounds like you're describing my car there...except I have stock rims

[xenonkuraz]

Xeno why not get fn2r seats?

I don't like them lol not comfy enough for me

[Kimsidae]

G'day guysss, im kinda new in here and since i joined ive done few mods on ma fd1. Injen, rear spoiler, red emblem kk... And im plannin to install exhaust on ma fd. I could get mid and down pipe by maself and for muffler im thinkin of gettin varex muffler which has remote control. Please advice me with this. Anyone done ecu settin on fd1?? Like hondata flashpro something. Thanks

[euRo_noob]

Dude I see your CU2 drive down Glengala road EVERYDAY HAHA come to the upcoming honda meet im organising. It kinda sounds like you're describing my car there...except I have stock rims

Really?? I don't see any FD's that are silver with a black bonnet.. unless that isn't your car.. (I just roughly skimmed through these pages trying to find pics. Didn't really read haha). Only FD's I notice is my friend's white one with a black front bumper and a black/navy one. I'm keen to see your car; a turbo'd FD!

I'm busy on the 9-11th of Dec! Otherwise I'd be glad to come to a meet. Haven't been to one ever since like... April or something!

The FD I was describing has a carbon fibre wing too I think. See it in North Sunshine sometimes at Kumon dropping off people.

[xenonkuraz]

Oh nah that isn't my one then. I've seen the white fd with black body kit lol

[ekay1]

hey guys, does anybody know how to wire on the rear brake light and front foggies for the mugen rr kit?

[xenonkuraz]

Only FD's I notice is my friend's white one with a black front bumper

Just saw your friend at ardeer coles!

[DuffyFD]

hey guys, does anybody know how to wire on the rear brake light and front foggies for the mugen rr kit?

Foggies are a bit of a pain but very do-able - depends more if you had foggies before too, if not you're gonna need a switch.

rear brake light should be simple.

[mikewl]

if u know wat ur doing you can make the foggie wiring at home, otherwise i think they hav premade ones with the relay and switch.

im trying to make a module for the rear brake to fricker like when the f1 braking... i think it'll look neat

[aero]

yeah. that'll attract attention from the popo tho... and give ppl behind u seizures lol

[DuffyFD]

agree with aero.

The fact that it lights up at all will attract popo.

I switch the LM's so that the the 17x9's are on the front and the x8's are on the back.

Has anyone here tried to get some poke going at the back, or is the sussy too soft? I'm poking at the front at the moment (I raised it a little too) Looks much higher than it is from the lip to the wheelarch.

[mikewl]

fuk da police =D

[ekdez]

if you want poke. 18x9+20 all round is doable!
infact thats flush fitment.. if you want poke go a lower offset then that!

[curtis265]

i think the flickering brakelight is a good idea. it really tells the person behind u "HEY **** YOU I'M BRAKING SLOW THE **** DOWN"

[xenonkuraz]

Finally got around to installing my boost gauge...

(sorry for the crappy iphone pics)

It's such a handy tool to have. Now it's easier to stay off boost! hahaha

Consistently hitting .6bar (8.7psi) which is a good sign everything is working perfectly :cool:

[ekdez]

video clip that in action! :)
well done n congrats on being one of the first to boost it

[DuffyFD]

reverse mounted the BBS LM's on the rear. NOW much! better :) pics soon

[asgr8]

Gave myself an early birthday present. Just ordered http://www.pioneer.eu/images/products/caravdisplay/pioneer/avh-3300bt-main_gallery.jpg Pioneer 3300BT for my Honda civic. Cant wait.

[NeedVtec]

Whoa xenonkuraz, you're located in Sunshine but I've never seen your car around; I'm from West Sunshine (white CU2 with a black roof). I'm from the Euro section but just thought I'd pop by the Civic's to have a peak :P You guys have some nicely done up FD's.

Also, guys from Melbourne/west side, is there a thread/mod list/pics for a gray FD(2?) with a carbon fiber bonet, forgot what rims, lowered? Not sure if the description is actually helpful but yeah.. Just curious to know what mods the owner has done.

Is it this one?

That gray FD is a good mates car, real carbon fibre bonnet, mugen wing, window visors, rays rims (forgot which type, 6 spoke i think, gunmetal with a polished lip), lowered on springs, LED lights like Audis/Mercs/BMW, Angel/Halo headlights, 4inch catback, and just a pod filter, yellow tinted foglights, and mugen grill. He wants to do either a k24 swap or slap an ebay turbo kit in it.

[ekay1]

Car looks nice, just a bit ricey. 4 inch catback? must be loud

[DuffyFD]

just needs the stock headlights and non-yellow foggies and it will be nicer and less ricer.

[threesix]

reverse mounted the BBS LM's on the rear. NOW much! better :) pics soon

pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone take some proper photos already

[ekay1]

[euRo_noob]

Ahhh, yeah! It's that one hahah. Cheers for the info buddy. Hmm, I would have to agree with Duffy. I'd prefer the normal headlights and non-yellow foggies. From what I heard, it's pretty loud.
I was also unsure of his rims that's why I forgot them lol. Thought they were replicas or something. Other than the lights, it's nice!

[mikewl]

this is wack.

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

[NeedVtec]

Hahaha yeah he cops it hard from the boys, use to have stickers, neons everywhere! His rims are something rays g-games? And yeh pretty loud, lucky quiet on idle though

Oh and he has that Evo shark fin thing at the back where the roof spoiler would go, carbon fibre too!

[ekay1]

Was anybody from here at the meet?

[jprak]

missed out due to work <.<

[xenonkuraz]

Fixed the idle issue I had with my car ^^ turns out I just had to use a better pod filter lol...swapped out the generic one for my old apexi power intake and it cured 3 of my issues

[DuffyFD]

that's why it's really important to spend the money on decent parts of don't spend it at all!

EDIT: not having a go at you Xenon - i just read back what i wrote.

damn spliff.

[xenonkuraz]

haha it came with the kit and they installed it all at the same time...who knew it'd cause any problems! all good now tho.

Planning to make a vid of how the car drives tomorrow

[ekay1]

hows the pull bro

[xenonkuraz]

You'll see ;)

[ekay1]

[DuffyFD]

[Areis]

[xenonkuraz]

I might get an RR kit too ey...

[ekay1]

im black

LOL

the mugen rr kit looks alright xeno :) will suit it since yours has some kind of performance

[DuffyFD]

urgh. okay I'm selling up. 330d please. or 530i

[xenonkuraz]

LOL

the mugen rr kit looks alright xeno :) will suit it since yours has some kind of performance

I've never been a fan of bodykits on my cars though...I'm a lip kit kinda guy. More simple.

If I get a kit, I need it lowered.

If I lower it, I need rims.

If I get rims, you get the point.

[ekay1]

Thats true. Well its your car, your choice!

[xenonkuraz]

Still have to admit the RR kit is damn cool though

[aero]

Mmm... Well if anyone wants a plain mugen front lip (pre facelift), I have a spare. Unpainted. Had it for a couple of months now but I just cbf advertising coz I cbf wrapping it up for shipping lol

[jprak]

http://i44.tinypic.com/2ngge44.jpg

(yes i know i gotta fix that dead light):(

i thank eriktufa for sending them over and also SHIFT performance for installing it :D

[DuffyFD]

need a lip jprak.

Not a great last week with the civic.

Cracked the mugen RR lip (not so bad), and now lost my front bumper foglight shroud on one side.

I guess im going with DRLs now :)

[Areis]

Jprak, are they HID 3000k yellows... Or just the cover?

Duffy: Wow that sucks..

hey, just covers mate, you could use yellow contact to cover your foggies if you can't be bothered spraying them :P

[DuffyFD]

no no mate I'm talking about the black surrounds on the fog lights on the Mugen RR front Bar.

yea i was, did you see my car or something xD

[Areis]

I don't think the civic is the one for me :/

[DuffyFD]

what's wrong man?
They're good reliable cars. Great cruisers, good on fuel.

The only thing they lack is performance.

[Areis]

I'm not fussed for fuel as my fuel is paid for by work... I like it, but don't love it man... Feels too much like a family car cause of the four doors.. Always wanted a type S.

[fitme]

just a question about the warranty....im about to service my car for 2yrs(40Tkms) and we know this is a major service for FD

honda cheapest service is $420 ...can i just bring it outside honda without voiding the warranty? cause it cost half the price

[aznboiio1]

Maybe this will help?: http://www.honda.com.au/cars_for-owners_common-questions.aspx#

As far as I know, your warranty does not automatically void once a non-honda mechanic service your car. Honda just won't do any repair under warranty if there is any damage from the non-honda mechanics' job. Either you take the risk, or make sure that the non-honda mechanics provide warranty of their work.

[jprak]

yup :), i was in a black fd2, going out and you were going towards the cinemas LOL

OH~!~!~! that was you!!! i remember now ;)
