[ekay1]

Lets have a photoshoot before you sell it bro

[black8thgen]

[ekdez]

did you sell your FD dez or was that you at Mawson yesterday?

selling shortly once i take everything off =]

might have been me passing mawson on the way home from work.

[black8thgen]

Should I part out and sell or just sell as is? What optio do u Rkn would yield better value lol

[DuffyFD]

part out and maybe sell for 14ish, and the parts for another few $k, or sell altogether for maybe 18.. About the same man.

[jprak]

14ish? for his car? no way man. he's only done 43,XXXkm on it. prob atleast 17-19?


lol selling cos i just feel like something different. going for a dc5r or s2k or something so yeahhh lol.

oh and i just put that up there cos when a buyer does pop up, i'll just buy a set of dc5 rims or fn2r rims to go on the car lol and keep the te's with me for the next car =P

[Areis]

[ekay1]

Always been a fan of the r32 gtr

[xenonkuraz]

I've always been a fan of Skylines. Had one when I was 18...attributed to my loss of license and various other incidents...

but still a fan.

Would have purchased an R34 GT-T instead of the FD if there was a nice one around

[DuffyFD]

Well I'd prefer a 32 over a 33 or 34, and 35's are a bit too expensive :P

[threesix]

R32's are jesus.

so classic. so boss.

[mikewl]

this is wat you call classic and BOSS! <3

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vLosIb1Upco/S850GUxJTmI/AAAAAAAAASo/K6PRk5UT0J8/s1600/sstp_1003_04_o%2B1971_nissan_skyline%2Bfront.jpg

[DuffyFD]

yeah but I don't have the time to restore a hakosuka.

Love them so much - loved Bab's build thread on JDMST too!

[ekay1]

Well I'd prefer a 32 over a 33 or 34, and 35's are a bit too expensive :P

Same here bro. The r34 has more power and is newer, but I love the raw design of the r32!

[ekdez]

Most 'hakosuka's' you find are datto reps. You'd be very lucky to find the belt driven one. If you did find an original car it would be worth a mint! Might as well buy the 35 gtr for the same price.

[black8thgen]

Dc5r or an s2k guys..... What would u guys rather get?

[DuffyFD]

What about a 350z?

[black8thgen]

dont really like them that much tbh

[curtis265]

s2k over dc5 anyday

[black8thgen]

the impracticality of two seats and no boot is a big downside though =[

[curtis265]

who said there's no boot? It's about the same size as my prelude boot with a sub anyway so no loss for me.

and 2 seats means you dont need to be taxi or designated driver you have to be more selfish!

[black8thgen]

well limited boot space as compared to the fd and a dc5r.

lol that is true... but thats both a plus and a minus in one lol

[threesix]

s2k. easy.

[mikewl]

wat about an NSX? xD

[black8thgen]

no nsx =P... hahah not yet anyway

btw does the weight of ur wheels really make that much difference? like say a set of rims 2kg heavier each rim so 8kg heavier a set.... would it make the car feel that much more sluggish?

[DuffyFD]

Yeah dude it makes a difference especially with a low torque engine.

Your car will handle worse, accelerate worse, brake worse..

Also they're accelerate the wear on the hub and the bearings.

And worse fuel efficiency.

[Areis]

i wish i could sell on ozhonda -- cause i needa get rid of my rims asap to make way for my new ones TT

[DuffyFD]

Just collect them like I do :P

[jprak]

too much space ==
i got steelies with 70%+ and 80%+ tread to sell but cant sell atm on ozhonda><

[Areis]

I wanna get rid of my p1s. ;) 600 incl tyres if picked up this week. ;););)

[EGB]

I wanna get rid of my p1s. ;) 600 incl tyres if picked up this week. ;););)

What specs??

[Areis]

What specs??
18'x7.5 5x114.3 +43

BTW, anyone running spacers on their FDs? any thoughts on them?

[DuffyFD]

I run 20mm bolt on's on the front. Had no issues, I check them sometimes and they've never been loose or anything.

You run the risk the bigger you go, or the cheaper you go.

[Areis]

what brand are yours duffy? and how much did you get them for

[threesix]

Yeah dude it makes a difference especially with a low torque engine.

Your car will handle worse, accelerate worse, brake worse..

Also they're accelerate the wear on the hub and the bearings.

And worse fuel efficiency.

this is why i should be shot... putting heaver rims on a hybrid.

i did get 680ks out of the last tank.

god im an ozhomo.

[DuffyFD]

I don't remember the name, Bought them from otomoto in North Parra.

[Areis]

Ohhh ok thanks

[black8thgen]

areis check ur phoneee

[Areis]

Duffy did u ever end up doing a write up on reverse mounting? cause i might be picking up some bbs

[CrystalSkull]

nothing wrong with that, just dudes modelling for the gays, the photographer has good taste in cars :)

[SuperJDM.]

nothing wrong with that, just dudes modelling for the gays, the photographer has good taste in cars :)

LOL nothing wrong with that ay?

[CrystalSkull]

yeah man, i hate to get off topic but if you can't accept a photo or others sexuality then you're a bit sad.

[threesix]

*****s is packing yo! lol

[threesix]

ozhomo ftw!! :)

[ekay1]

ahahhah gotta love ozhomo

[DuffyFD]

It's about 80% done, I've been lazy.

oh sweet as! thanks

[jprak]

hey guys, i've asked a japanese site to source out Spoon Hydro Blue Wide mirror's for FD2R but i just wanted to ask will these mirrors fit on the FD1 civic?

they're having a sale atm on OEM and etc. check it out. shipping is abit pricy but you're buying genuine parts from japan :D

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?KEYWORD=&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&dealer=&car=&middlesmall=&maker=&VOLKEY=030-283-004


edit; found my answer. they fit ! :D

[ekdez]

yeah man, i hate to get off topic but if you can't accept a photo or others sexuality then you're a bit sad.

i better del my post.. i can forseshadow humour wont be someones forte

[CrystalSkull]

Hi ekdez, not at all, i love a good laugh and i think that photo is hilarious, what i find sad is frowns :/ and 'oh no homos' comments quote "LOL nothing wrong with that ay?", sounds like an undertone of homophobia in this community. there's nothing to fear, i have friends who are gay and they've never tried hitting on me or 'turning me homo'. :)

[CrystalSkull]

and apologies if I missed an in-joke.

[Areis]

apology accepted man!

[threesix]

I don’t know why people are taking the gay jokes to heart.

I wish I was gay. I mean think about it!.. easier to get sex, get to wear each other’s clothes, everyone knows that gay people get better drugs, and they just look like they are having the best time ever!

Plus move to Sydney…. The gay capital of the world!

I did once go to a party with a glory hole and didn’t know who/what was on the other side. Maybe I am gay? HAY HAY!!!! lol

[Areis]

er...... .. . . . . .

WELL. . . i picked up my bbs lms today :D

[black8thgen]

Got my license back today =D. Hehehhee

[Areis]

Haha if it wasn't such shit weather i'd be up for a meet

So keen for a fd meet man!

[Shimian]

Quick question. Im finding so many diff answers for this. What is the speaker size (fr + r) for FD2?
Some say its 6" drop in and some say its 6.5" but must use a bracket (modify). Or both is the right answer?
Especially for the rear, if it needs to be modified due to 6.5", do i need to cut the grille out?

thanks

[ekay1]

Hahah the video is cool, rolling shot as well

[rndy444]

Nice vid Ekdez,

Aries what is your rims? nice specs of rims, will fit to my civic.

[Areis]

Buddyclub p1s 5X114.3 +42

[Areis]

I'm scrubbing like shit with my new rims... Should I roll my guards now? Or should I do that after I get spacers and rear camber arms?

[mikewl]

roll them b*tches

[DuffyFD]

+42 is soft, why are you scrubbing?

[DuffyFD]

Driving my mate home this morning just got pulled over by a highway patrol in Fairfield.
Got breath tested, got ride-height tested.
Don't know how I passed the breath test from last night with my mate after 5 long islands and 8 shots..
Failed the ride height test. Failed not H pattern on gear stick, failed wheels..
However, somehow got away unscathed. Go f*cking figure!

[black8thgen]

I'm scrubbing like shit with my new rims... Should I roll my guards now? Or should I do that after I get spacers and rear camber arms?

His rims are 17x8 +35 now. Yes get them rolled but do not go to Tempe to do it. Go to shift performance. You pay more but you'll get a much better job and they'll roll it flat for u. They take their time and really do it properly and you won't get any guard flexing or ripples in ur paint!! And u might need coils soon cos ur springs might be too soft and on bumps when u get ur spacers up front you will probably still scrub depending on how big a spacer u get. I think I've seen camber arms for the fronts for an fd as well on American sites? anyone here got some? But either way don't run too much neg camber or ur Tyres will disappear like no tomorrow lol.


And to Duffy.... Damn bro u r one lucky man hahhaha

[Areis]

Thanks!! How much is it at shift performance and where is it located?

[black8thgen]

Lansvale. Search them up they traders here. I forgot what they quoted me something like 40 a corner maybe? Cat remember lol

[DuffyFD]

Your camber options at the front are restricted to camber bolts (+/- 1.5deg) or adjustable strut-tops.

I'm actually looking for a set of strut tops where I can adjust my camber, I don't get enough negative from just the bolts.

[DuffyFD]

http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue4.php?make=Honda&model=Civic&model_final=CIVIC+FD1+JDM+EXCL+TYPE+R&vehicle=2006-ON

Here are your camber bolts.

if his not scrubbing on the outer wall off the tire rolling it wont help (unless its the front wheels, let it scrub away at the black plastic guard), if his inner tire wall is hitting the suspension perch which holds the spring in place, then you may need coils.

[mikeyy]

hey guys, i'm going overseas soon to philippines and there is a huge FD scene, which means an abundance of parts :D
I was looking at picking up a mugen rr rear lip/skirt, but I have oem mud guards, does anyone know if you can fit it on fine with the mud guards?

[DuffyFD]

so... went to Hornsby Honda today to get them to check up my sunroof (one corner has lifted up a bit higher while another has sort of dented in) - no idea what happened but defs was not like stepped on or anything seems like something mechanical has effed up.....

anyways they were checking it and then some of the mechanics hoisted up my car but left my passenger side door open.... and the hoist just dented in my door... fkn retards sigh =.=...

so anyway they said they will fix it at artarmon honda but i will be without a car for at least two days... and i need it to get to work etc etc...

so... anyone know what i can claim from them? can i get a courtesy car from them? and can i get them to repair my sunroof (car is still under warranty) free of charge especially after fking around with my car like that....?

[ekay1]

Why do they need to hoist the car to check out the sunroof.......? What dumass's, you should ask them on the spot man, thats crappy service by them. Their fault, you should be able to get something out of it besides a full respray + repair.

[black8thgen]

i dunno... freaking douche bags =.=... had 15 mechanics standing around the car then the stooge who effed my car comes out and was like hey bro nice rims whered u get them from? r they volks? i shud have just askd him to buy them for 5k or some shit farkkk so angry =[

What are the best methods of checking a 12 year old car lol? I hear NRMA inspection is a waste.

ivi and mta :thumbsup: worth the $200 if you are buying a 2nd hand car in syd.

i kinda still want a s2k. they are timeless beasts!

[black8thgen]

Yeah. Would be rare in3-5 years time hopefully hahaha. U are right such a timeless car to have....

[black8thgen]

What's better. IVI or MTA? Or should I just do both lol

Remember to keep the packaging and submit the registration form! only way to get replacement keys.

[fitme]

^ its only for the lock keys right?

[evolution]

Yes, it's so they know which key to send you if you ask for a replacement. That's what I like about the Mcguards, even if someone else has the same brand lock nuts it doesn't mean they can use their keys to open mine.

[DuffyFD]

I wonder if how these would compare to my cusco's or to a set of buddyclubs.

Just keep in mind that if these are designed for the FD2R, it won't fit our FD1/2.
Other than that, these will be one of the best ones you can get for our Civic.

Found this website the other week, pretty sharp pricing on this Cusco. only $1200 for Cusco Comp S and $1500 for the Street A's. I'm hoping this sort of price is round in 12months.

[black8thgen]

Apparently a dc5r takes an s2k after same amount of mods? (straIght line). Should I get an s2k and supercharge long term or a dc5r and go I/H/E/kpro/TB etc

[DuffyFD]

dc5's are great, but will always be wrong-wheel-drive.

[Stevil]

black8thgen I guess it comes done to budget, Supercharged rearwheel power out of a S2000 would be awesome but scary on the limit I reckon and costly.

I often wish I had a RWD then I remind myself of the FWD potential when set up correctly. I've watched this video atleast a dozen times as reminder of whats possible !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncnV7A8-zKw&feature=player_embedded

[DuffyFD]

I'll be honest, I love FWD, it's very predictable most of the time, you either run into understeer, or if you're late, maybe a bit of lift-off oversteer under braking.

RWD is alot more wild, and I would say that it takes a certain finesse to handle with a large amount of power, whereas with FWD, it's you vs. the car, and it's more about muscling your way around corners.

Both are very fun. Most people just have an anti FWD stigma, partly due to the drifting scene.

If I had my choice on an upgrade it would be a toss up between a Renault Megane 250, a 370z, or a e60 530i Msport (all around 40-50k though).

DC5's have a boy-racer feel about them to me - just the kind of drivers I've met in the past really. s2k's are awesome, but less practical, and they only look good when they're dumped.


Again this is all my opinion. Nothing right or wrong :P

And yes damn I will finish that BBS LM's reversing DIY.

yay duffy!! cant wait for the write up. anyway about 5 minutes ago as i was driving home from my local woolies. . . a gray fd drove past me with a black/ carbon fibre bonnet with the number plate fd2r. . is that anyone on here? and yesterday when i was enrolling for uni, i encountered another white fd in the market city carparks.. it was slammed with bbs look alike rims in black, is that anyone on here? man. . . theres just so many modified FDs out there that arent on any forums

new tail light tints

[ElectricTsunami]

Hey guys, massive noob here, I have a fully stock 2010 FD1 VTi-L, and I want to get a nice sounding exhaust, I've seen a lot of people suggesting a J's Racing Exhaust, but from what I've read they aren't that loud, I want it to sound nice and fairly loud. If I could also get some suggestions on what else I should do to it it'd be good, I like the stock alloys so I don't want to change them just yet, but thanks in advance guys.

people who only buy the muffer back find the j's quiet.
the j's exhaust from cat back is loud and raspy, (NOT drony). it sounds nicer then anything else ive heard.. personal preferance tho.

if you want loud buy a weapon r header and any cat back exhaust..

Heys,

My guards are rolled. I don't scrub at the back, I do at the front over big potholes but thats because I haven't set the coilovers to rock solid. I'd prefer a touch more comfort and a little tyre rub sometimes.

Fitme I like ya optimism but I would think your 17x7, 17x8 rims ? actually weigh around 16lbs+ maybe even heavier yhan the EP3's. The 10lb rims once made are the 14x5.

hmm maybe my scale is off?..because the largest 17 direzza weigths around 19.58lbs(17x9)
and my one is 17x7..so maybe it will be between10-15lbs give and take...
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/ozcity/direzzaweight.jpg


using my scale...there is a 5-6lbs difference between EP3 and Dunlop

[Stevil]

The old style scale certainly isn't accurate ! try weighing ya self first then pick up the rim, what does it read ?
