Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[DuffyFD]

Yeah, the scales won't measure correctly like that for some reason. Best way is like how Steve mentioned. Or just Google it.

[fitme]

the 17x9 weighs 19.5lbs according to dunlops website, yeah the scale doesnt measure the exact weight...but comparing it to the EP3 rims
it weighs less 5-6lbs


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

should have done this before, to get the nearest possible weight...

edit:
its 7kgs 17x7 (15.4lbs) according to their website

[black8thgen]

or check wheelweights.net

[fitme]

got it..its 15.4lbs...so ep3s are around 20lbs

[mikewl]

Got roof racks xD

[ekdez]

Hai all, i need some help.

So a reputable steering and suspension place took my coil-overs off today, after never adjusting them since putting them on.

When i got home today my g/f noticed a clicking/clunking sound happening when the car is even on a slow roll. With the steering wheel straight and even on full lock.

This never was the case when my car was on coils...

Now i know, from trolling these forums for 4-5 years.. that people with the FD civic had problems with the knuckle or something popping out when swapping coils..

Could this by any chance be the reason why its clicking.. i mean i drove home.. 30-40 kms fine.. no issues.

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks :)

[xenonkuraz]

giving the bmc carbon airbox a try.

anyone used one of these before?

[Stevil]

ekdez so they only took the coilovers off ? they didn't pull the coils off the struts ? what other work did they do ? I'd be checking the top of the struts, make sure the 3 bolts are tight with no movement. You could grab a 14mm sockets and make sure they are tight.

[ekdez]

Hey mate yeah, I should have stated that they only took the coilovers out and out the oem sus back in. I called the guy today and he said I could bring it back in for a look.. But that's 4 days away cos of the canberra day public holiday.. I said have you any idea's, and he said it may be the backing plate for the brake disk.. So I'll be checkin everything thus weekend haha thanks again :)

[howy]

I recently got one of my engine mounts replaced coz it was gone and that was making the noise you described.

Apparently, our driver's side engine mount is known to cause troubles :/

Not sure if it is the same case, but I had a clunking sound before on my Odyssey front wheels and it was really obvious at slow speeds. Sounded like as if I had a nail stuck in the tires

Turned out to be a small stone stuck between the backing plate and the rotors. It dropped out when I removed my rims to have a look at the tires.

[EGB]

I had same issue, was the rotor shield, was warped/bent, check it out and let us know

[pairz-reason]

In response to EKDEZ

around 3 months ago I had a small clicking noise on the left hand side. But sometimes it sounded like it was fron the drivers side. Either way it was annoying. Everytime I accelerated , stepped on the pedal I could notice it as the engine noise is low but when i sstep on it hard you can faintly here it. At first I was advised by hanny's robert that it was a stone caught as mentione aboved but after a week it was still there. Robert told me to thrash the car and stepped on the brake hard thats how u test if there is stones there apparently. I took it back and told him to check it out further realise my engine mounts were fudged. those damn hyrdaulic engine mounts are shit. costed me 250 for a second hand one left hand side.

Hope this helps.

[DuffyFD]

The mounts are made of cheese.

Anyone have links to solid mounts?

[ekdez]

Fixed the problem.. =) and for those who would like to know,

I jacked the car up and turned the wheel around.. i took a video of it but its like 32 megs :|
It sounded like something was falling vertically every time the wheel made it to a certain point.
So as soon as i took my wheel off a bolt fell out and rolled under my car..

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/865/img3110t.jpg

It was the one in the middle... I mean wtf.. If they took that off why wouldn't they tighten it up?

Anyhow.. i guess the sound has gone.. But i definitely will be calling them on Tuesday!

[xenonkuraz]

Just got some euro plates.

They actually look quite good on the FD but I should have bought a slim line for the front - it's massively long

The Hub nut?

Well as you can see, on the driveshaft spline there is a notch. This notch is so you can bend the end of the hub nut into the notch, so it does not come loose.

as you can see in the image below

My FD1 got some new Red socks today ! had food poisoning O/nite but I was pretty keen to get the new struts installed for a track day tmw.

hey im thinking about getting a cai or sri & j's racing exhuast but since i bought my car a few months ago so it has warrenty for another 3 years , is it worth doing the mods and void my warrenty?

So you're running stock springs and koni reds?

[Stevil]

Nah Eibach Prokit springs with Tokico HTS, they came already on the firmest setting and I gotta say they soak up the bumps instead of crashing like the stock ones did. Got a full day at Marulan tmw with a few mates, so I may play with the settings or not. Also threw on a Cusco FSB and a Tanabe Muffler I got off Pitiek ! Hopefully should get a bit of footage

[DuffyFD]

looking forward to it man! :)

[heyalannn]

This is out of the blue, but does anyone know about the v lip for the Mugen lip kit? If so, where to buy?

New lap time please... It will be good knowing parts from my FD are doing good things..

[Stevil]

Well it wasn't raining at Marulan this morning but the 11 inches of recent rain had water coming out of the ground still and running across parts of the track, so I pulled the pin. Ended up down the road at Wakefield and watched a few Porshe's. Will prob hit Wakefield on Wednesday if the sun comes up.

[DuffyFD]

Steve are you interested in UltraRacing under-body braces? Or do you have them already?

I have a front and rear set that came from Timmie, just I'm too low to use them.

Also - 2nd question, the Whiteline bushings sold for the FD2 - are they compatible at all with the FD1?

[black8thgen]

lol ive got under body braces as well but i literally sea-saw over many speed humps and drive ways... and have been for the past 6 months. i just havent had the time to take them off unfortunately =[.

[DuffyFD]

I put the front one on one night before an Old Pac drive, and i couldnt reverse over the hump in my driveway! Chewed up all the grass and was literally rooted.

My height rule is that if I can't make it in and out of my driveway at home, it's too low haha. I already lightly scrape my exhaust pipe everytime.

But yeah the braces are good if you want rigidity.

[Areis]

Lol I don't even use my driveway to access the garage... I use the lawn now --

[Stevil]

I reckon its Piss funny ! I got the tanabe front brace and I have smashed the shit out of so much stuff, mine is bent badly in the middle, and has a shit load of gouges out of it. I even bent a brace that holds the swinging electric doors to my unit block, seen a repair man repairing it twice ! lol

DuffyFD I think I'll skip on anymore brace right now, you talking bout FSB bushing ??

[Areis]

anyone whose bored, come carwash tonight. junction of parramatta road and george street, north strathfield at 10pm! :P:P

[DuffyFD]

No probs.

I'm talking about this:

FD1:

FD2:
http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue4.php?make=Honda&model=Civic&model_final=CIVIC+FD2+JDM+TYPE+R&vehicle=2006-ON

Should not all of these be able to fit either?

In particular the LCA bushings.

[DuffyFD]

ahh o well, next time :D

[Stevil]

managed to knock off early today and had a crack at changing my front brake lines over to some braided stainless one. Cant believe how easy it was !. Pedal feels firm as but it always does after a fluid change. Hoping to give it a good work out at Wakefield tmw, thats if the weather holds up.

http://madmick3006.com/ahngallery/upload/files/2012-03/285e952a.jpg

[CrystalSkull]

If going south to Goulburn plan extra travel time, yesterday on the Hume there was a traffic jam at South Marulan, took over 2 hours to travel 15 kms. Find an alt. route :)

[Stevil]

Yeah was down there on early Monday, must have missed the jam but yeah did notice the roadworks. What time was the jam ?

[CrystalSkull]

I went north around 1 and noted the jam, got stuck in it around 6.30. Other people used Canyonleigh and Carrick rds (through Brayton) with no probs. Enjoy your race day.

[DuffyFD]

Hey Steve,

Do you find you get enough front camber from just the camber bolts? I would like to be running around 2-3deg on the front but you can only achieve that through drilling the strut where it connects to the hub assembly (ghetto), or getting some adjustable top mounts ($300ish?). I know that JDMyard sells AST one's - not sure on the pricing.

[Stevil]

Duffy I need more camber, just pulled a 15.4 in my 2nd session and outside temp of Tyre shows its working too hard. Still got 3/4 of a tank of fuel so I'm hoping for 14s late in the day

[DuffyFD]

Nice work man. I'd be a bit keen to catch up with you man and talk setups and gear.

[Areis]

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

Would it fit the FD2?

[DuffyFD]

yep Aeris.

[Areis]

im scrubbing too much after the reverse mount, so i have the take off the spacers... if i remove my 20mm spacer from the rear, will my camber stay the same? really not keen on hitting the fuel tank pipe as the plastics already worn through...

[black8thgen]

did u get camber arms yet? it probably will give u less camber. but i saw ur fb pic... driving with that much camber on a daily is fukd lOL looks sick tho

how did reverse mounting go? easy?

[DuffyFD]

ahah thanks xD

Who want's a quick meet tonight? I can do early eveninggg!

I have the rear camber plates (the shifter ones) not arms. I like them because I they seem stronger than the replacement arms.

I'm running natural camber setting at the back though I think, or a little less, yes it's a little baller haha

[Areis]

Not tonight.. Got work

[Areis]

:/ hopefully FD meet soon.. And sorry for the double post but yeah I got camber arms.. Went camber adjustment today to try to fix the scrubbing issues... Turns out I had -8.15 camber... They tried lowering the camber but best they could get was -6... Still bad and still scrubbing a bit..

Where did you source the Tokico shockies Steve?
I'm looking at buying eibach pro kit for my CU2 but I'm not keen on using the stock shockies since I wasn't pleased with the way my FD stock shockies+Tein S-Tech springs combo crashes bumps and pot holes.
I cannot find any available shockies for CU2 yet which I find a bit odd for a car that is already 4 years old..

P.S. I just remembered that I still have the stock FD shokies with Tein springs...:p

[Stevil]

Pitiek I got the Tokico's thru Corsport USA. Paid under about $770 with the conversion rate and $89 for shipping. Honestly the ride is better than I expected and I havent even adjusted from the hardest setting yet.

They did take a while to ship em but I didn't mind waiting as the US postal isn't the quickest. Got the stoptech braided lines at the same time.

[rndy444]

hi guys, im looking for some one to install tein spring in to my honda fd, do you know guys how much they charge for installing lowering spring? TIA

[EGB]

Randwick,

[FDHarry]

hey guys, well today while reversing i was close to the concrete pole thingy and i was paying attention to the door from getting scratch then a few second later the concrete pole hit my side mirror ... now it has a dent and a few scuff marks on the black housing rim thing .. just need a suggestion is it worth to buy the new black housing? and roughly how much would it be for a genuine

[Stevil]

rndy444 most shops are gunna quote around the $2-300 as it takes 2-3hrs install plus they need to do a wheel alignment.

If I wasn't so busy I'd give you a hand as install inst that difficult, just need the right tools.

[black8thgen]

yeah rndy444 shops will charge quite a bit. so unless u know a friend its probably not worth it.

give bennjamin on this forum a pm as he does installs for people. he did my mates coils on a cl9 the other week and its a fine job. no noises or problems and he'll even adjust the height all round for u.

really good guy. i wont say how much it cost here but give him a pm and it will definitely be a competitive price

[DuffyFD]

You can DIY, The only thing you NEED are spring compressors which aren't exxy. probably like 30-40$ for a cheap set.

The rest you can do with normal tools.

You'll need an allen key, a few sockets and a breaker bar. Takes maybe 2-3hours at home if you understand what you're doing. Took about 6 hours the first time for me.

[Areis]

Yeh give Benjamin a PM! he did my mates euro cl9 springs last week. He gets down to business as soon as u get there. Tool an hour. And Ryan u free today? ;) exhaust? Front lip? Hit me up with a text if you are (:

like $75 or there abouts, for 1 side, it comes in 2 pieces, the mirror housing which is unpainited and the rim piece, which is black already.

[FDHarry]

[DuffyFD]

make the ducktail spoiler the same coilor as the body. and drop the car about a metre.

Then think about maybe a kit or front lip. :)

[Areis]

then sell ur rims and get something wide with low offset or DISH!

[ekay1]

Looks pretty sweet

[jprak]

Civic fd_1993; is that a J's racing exhaust i see? ;)

[xenonkuraz]

just needs lows...it looks higher than my stock civic :D

and yeah colour code the duck spoiler...or get more black/carbon bits!

keep the rims tho

[SuperJDM.]

then sell ur rims and get something wide with low offset or DISH!

this doesnt look wide to you? or needs dish when you have TE-37s

DIY, lols.
its only a few screws,

[curtis265]

100% diy.

[rndy444]

Just installed tein s tech, took 12 hours in 2 days. haha.

[Stevil]

Well done Randy it feels good doesn't it !

now tell me you installed the top hats correctly ...Lol

[rndy444]

oh yeah, there's a small bearings ball at the top hats isn't? good thing when i removed the shocks I pull it slowly otherwise I wouldnt find those bearing. hahaha.

[Stevil]

Nah I'm talking bout the little triangle mark on top of the hat, the triangle should point at the motor ! but yeah if you had ball bearings popping out sounds like you had fun ! I've done my struts/shocks 3 times cause I stuffed up the first time, then I had knocking sound from one, so pulled em apart again and found I had stuffed the top hat. Third time swapped Eibach springs onto some new Tokico. Can do a strut spring change in about 30mins now !!! Lol

[ekdez]

Stevil, can you please elaborate on the knocking sound you had when the strut wasn't triangled in?

[Stevil]

ekdez I'm not expert but after I dropped some Eibach springs on the stock struts I noticed a very minor knocking sound from my front left strut when I was turning hard at very slow speed. Now at the time I figured it must be the spring not quite sitting in the right position. Anyway knocking went away and a few weeks later after a day a Wakefield I noticed the knocking was real bad.

So anyway I pulled the strut out, I then noticed that the nut had been moving around the the top hat (I had tightened it pretty well I thought). It was only when I pulled out the strut that I noticed there was a little triangle marker and I had it pointing out. Quick google search reveal it should been pointing in. Now I'm not certain that this allowed the nut to move, but the end result was both the thread on the shock and the top hat were stuffed. Both have since been replaced.

I also had my bumps stops making a popping/creaking sound when I put em on the Tokico's struts but they seem to have settled down and everythings gone nice and quiet. Amen.

well hope you get it sooner =)
try japanparts.com they're having a sale at the moment. though it takes long to ship(from japan) i can vouch that its reliable and items came in good condition in a big box (engine cover for r18, jap ver.) they're able to source out stuff that are hard to find.

any one know if a mugen type r grille will fit onto the 2011 fd1?

[DuffyFD]

Sorry for spam guys - just work is a bit slow.

If they had the leather 1/2 bonnet bra I'd get one, but supposedly they stopped selling them ages.

[black8thgen]

[DuffyFD]

Tomi Mak Evo maybe. Too many options.

I don't know if to part out or find a seller as it is.

[black8thgen]

find a seller as is.. parting out is a mission and a half

[ekdez]

worth it tho.

[liquid23]

hey guys,

I've been looking all over the net but can't find a definite answer.
I got new tyres couple of weeks ago, Toyo T1-Sport (new models of T1R) and now after a drive they smell like burnt plastic or something.
Some people say its just the tyre getting up to heat or maybe it is scraping against something. But nothing is hitting it, it is far from the suspension etc.
Apparently depending on where it is made is a cause of the smell as how much sulfur they put into the tyre?

Just like to know is it a bad thing to have a tyres smell like that or should i go back to tyrepower to get it checked out and does the sulfur content in the tyre make any difference to the tyre's tread life etc

Thanks

[Areis]

I'm tryna sell as well haha :P

[threesix]

Everyone buy evos!!!!!! No homo

Are you sure you're selling??
My cusco sway will be a nice addition....... :p

[DuffyFD]

Yeah I know dude!!! But I gotta stop spilling dead money into it hey..

I need to sort out this steering/camber/guard issue first and get the car clean. My mate who's running this AllStars event this year says he wants me in it.

[Areis]

autech s15 :) (since im on Ps)

[DuffyFD]

Why not just wait until you're on fulls man? Changing cars is a huge hassle. It's not something I'm (maybe) looking forward to.

[Areis]

civics are dropping price fast.... and i kinda want to start modifying another car, performance wise too... cause i realised the civics have no torque at all!

I really want to get a photoshoot in tho before we all sell!

HI guys, do you know a mechanic that can service my car in my garage? CV joint is the problem, I called mobile mechanic and he said that cv joint need to fix together. He charged me 135/H WT@#@#@#@. So im looking for cheap ones.

I tried to remove the coilspring because of the knocking sound then when I put the shockies with coils, the CV joint wont go in, so i called the mobile mechanic and that what he said,

near randwick area. thanks!

[DuffyFD]

You should be able to get the CV joint back in place mate. You just need to push it back in - at the right angle.

[Stevil]

yeah just grab the brake disc and lift/twist, how many kms have done ??

If ya still got a problem in the morning I'd be happy to swing by on my way to the beach and help ya as I'll be driving thru Randwick.

Rob Bliss or Mac's Muffler both in Geebung..

What mods have you done Mikeyy?
I still sometimes miss my FD since I have promised myself not to mod my CU2... If only FD parts are interchangeable with CU2.. I still have mod parts from my FD sitting in my garage..

[mikeyy]

Rob Bliss or Mac's Muffler both in Geebung..

Thanks for the info! Will check them out, only live a suburb away. So far only the intake, hopefully with the exhaust done it'll be teeny bit quicker, also trying to save up to buy a FlashPro

Can you still get the v-lip? Interested in getting one.

[Stevil]

Well my FD1 trackcar got some new rubber on the rear midweek, actually didnt need rubber as i have fairly new RSR's but I couldn't pass up some cheap hankook RS3's.

Anyway headed down to Marulan this morning with 2 mates and with a full tank of juice I put in an early 48.2 chasing my mates Mx5. Mucked around with tyre pressure abit and managed to knock out a couple 47.70's chasing a Fiat bertone racecar. After a burger for lunch I thought I'd flip the RS-3's on to the front as they seemed a smidge grippier than the RSR's, anyway long story short during a solo session I ripped a 46.45. Bloody stoked !!

[DuffyFD]

Niice work man!!

[Areis]

[rndy444]

[DuffyFD]

fuel filter is around $150. Check jdmconcept if you don't wanna call up a honda dealer.

And my seat rails need to be modded :(((((

OLD vs NEW

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/522099_10150809305766355_609641354_12237318_155751 0175_n.jpg

More exciting posts coming too (feel like im soloing for FD's)

[Stevil]

[Areis]

Badluck bro.. Might be a straight fit for FD2.

Btw anyone want tein stech springs?? Pm me!

[DuffyFD]

You're finally a member. Get a sale thread on!

[Areis]

Jprak ur inbox is full. Give me a SMS if u got my number still

[black8thgen]

duffy are u sure they need to be modified?

i had FD2R seats in my fd2 and timmie had them in his fd1 and the rails were exactly the same fit?

i assume fn2r rails are different then.... and wouldnt fit in an fd2 either lol

[DuffyFD]

I have FN2R seats (with airbags). They're not bolt on, I had a look last night.

I'm getting them fitted as we speak. xD

These would be perfect for a FD2 since they have the airbags, I don't need the airbags in my FD1 but meh!

[black8thgen]

so the fn2r has different rails to fd2r? someone told me they were the same lol... LIES

[jprak]

wth?! i thought it was straight bolt on as well<.<



Jprak ur inbox is full. Give me a SMS if u got my number still
inbox clear, reply again=)

[black8thgen]

yeah i guess fd2r IS straight bolt on (i can confirm this as i had them in my car lol)

whereas fn2r requires some modifications

[DuffyFD]

http://img.tapatalk.com/31b20601-0cfb-4f86.jpg

[Baygon]

[DuffyFD]

If you wanna pay me the 400 that I paid to get the rails made up, and cover shipping then sure

[rndy444]

duffy what did you do to fit your new seats? Mine is vti-l so Ineed seats with airbag. If you changed your mind you can throw that seat to me for a very very very friendly price. ;))))

[DuffyFD]

Hehe I'm enjoying the support of the seats too much! Wouldn't mind more lumbar support though.

Here's my UPDAAAAAT!

After a grueling 12 hours on the car today. Airbags aren't all that hard, just a very involved process of running all the lines and wiring everything correctly.

Result (in desperate need of a wash - me and the car)

http://img.tapatalk.com/6eaf0b31-0810-4a37.jpg

[Stig]

so much lows

[DuffyFD]

Thanks for the help with the solenoids! And thanks in general for the kit lol, I can see why it took ages to sell, you either pay 600 -1k to get it installed or you break your back for 1-2 days with the car on stands! Makes coilovers like a piece of cake.

Where did you mount the gauge btw?

And i'm gonna have to buy 2 more long lines to get the gauge on the dash somewhere, the ones attached to the gauge are shorties xD

[Stig]

i left mine in the boot, i wanted to chuck it in the slot under the cig lighter, but never got around to it

very useful if you keep it in the carbin, can see how high or low you are and if you lose any pressure while driving :D

airbag installs arent hard at all, then again i already did most of the wiring for you already haha took me a good day to figure it all out

[DuffyFD]

haha yeah thanks again! xD

I wonder if I can buy more nylon tubing from bunnings or something, then I'll run the gauge back to the dash somewhere!

And need to use use plumbing tape on all of the connectors and then clean the wiring.

One issue I'm not sure of being able to solve. RTA(now called RMS) - I wonder whether I can get them engineered

[curtis265]

How did I get the member status o.o I swear I was on negative points before cause my thing was red..

go to ur usercp and see who repped you

[Stig]

only way to get them engineered is to get a self leveling module and have no controls of the bags in the cabin

from memory the module was 2k lol

[DuffyFD]

Fuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrk -.-

Just dont get a defect haha.

Nice car btw looks fkn neat as! :)

Arghhhh what I could have had - depressed! :(

[DuffyFD]

Dez you car is/was delicious dude, one of my favs

drove through RBT, with bags at legal height, have mad poke happening, cops shining lights at back wheels and then spoke with another cop there, but didn't do anything phew.

I hope my luck never runs out (don't jinx myself!)

[ekay1]

Saw a picture of your car at the meet bro, looks hot as ****.
Btw guys i am selling a mugen exhaust for whoever is interested, please contact on 0430309389 as i am not on the forums often

[DuffyFD]

Thanks dude, where's the pic?

Most fun thing with bags and having a remote control is when people would crouch down to get a photo I'd pump the car up and look inconspicous, and they'd look around at everyone confused. Haha!

[ekay1]

Guys i need to make my front right wheel fit. Im running 17x8 +20 using 205/45/17 tyres. The paints peeling off and the guard has cracked a bit. I've rolled it as flat as I can and pulled it as much as I can. Any suggestions as to how i can fit it? Camber bolts? Raising the car (not that I want to raise it) ?

[DuffyFD]

lift it a bit, and then camber bolts gogo

these are the ones I mentioned dude

hey guys, i was wondering if yous had any weird sounds coming from the wipers(driver) for our civics. Ive noticed it makes weird motor sound while its on 1 and i tried putting it on 2 and its there. I tried hearing it from the passengers side but there's nothing so there's a problem with the driver side one.

i know for certain it isnt the wipers themselves, im assuming its the motor itself =/
any suggestions? im planning on taking it to the dealer since its under warranty till next month.
