Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[lolmclol]

^ Was looking for that ... could have sworn JDM Concept used to sell it (where I was looking).

Hahaha also thought you were trolling telling him to buy an auto xD

[DuffyFD]

Duffy, get this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MUGEN-SHIFT-PLATE-GEAR-KNOB-AUTO-CAR-CIVIC-EG-EM-EK-TYPE-R-/360490705083?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53eeeba0bb

place it under where the shift boot is being held(the surrounding)
(dark grey area)

yea i know its a auto civic pic but you get what i mean ;D

don't shift miss?

Mad English

[black8thgen]

almost every jdm part that has words will be worded worse than a 2 yr old

[Baygon]

bayon, your rear lip looks really aligned. Mine has a small gap=='

tempted to rearrange it again

When i first put it on, it took me a couple of attempts to align it as perfect as i can

[Baygon]

those oem visors don't complement that jdm look yo!

also specs on wheels baygon? your setup looks hell slick.

nice pics jprak, and good work, I love a clean rear :3

I originally had the mugen visors on but one of them snapped -.- so i got some OEM JDM ones. IMO i reckon they look better than the mugen ones. My setup is nice and simple.. nothing special. 18x8.5, offset im really unsure.. im guessing +38.. correct me if im wrong.

[jprak]

EGB, was your car in cabra tonight? saw it driving but saw a girl driving it <.<

[EGB]

Haha wasn't me Lol, you would know it's me buddy club race headers and basically straight 3inch cat back

[Wazzabii808]

i have been reading here about FD1 mods, and am trying to get a catback for my 07 model.
Found this on gumtree, it sounds pretty good from youtube vids.

Was only joking mate, sorry. Love your wheel setup though.

The OEM Honda visors look on par as good as the Mugen ones, I just wanted to trade my kidneys for my Mugen visors :-P. The OEM Honda ones just don't scream racecar :-P.

The megapower is the obvious defect me horn, if I remember right.

[chunky]

id ditch the visors all together
cleaner look :)

[lolmclol]

I love my visors :-( .. allows me to have the window down even when its raining!

[DuffyFD]

Had mugen visors, the change the lines of the car too much so took them off.

If you can find those black slim visors similar to what some Subaru libertys have, then I'd snap them up.

I personally prefer loud exhausts, especially on a civic. I've seen too many with just a muffler and its still piss quiet. Which is why im going for the BC catback. Or maybe its because I drive an mx5 with an I/H/E combo and I just love the sound :D

[DuffyFD]

Yeah the AVS ones. They're in the US. Yet to.find a place that will ship to Australia.

And xeno: that is one nice sounding FD. :D:D

[lolmclol]

So jealous mate, my friends dad owned both an MX5 and an RX8 ... such beautiful cars to drive >_< ...

Nightmare to upkeep though ... specially that rotary beauty <3

That sounds really good xenon, would love to hear at full noise.

suprisingly my one is very quiet on full throttle, you hear the turbo spool more than anything, but there is none of the typical honda 4cyl raspiness. It's like a rexy burble.

and GG driving it pre-tune, AFRS would've been like 1000:1? LOL

Haha thanks man! I reckon no foglights is more aggressive. I thought to run a cold air pipe down there but haven't decided yet. Or whether run DRLs like my favorite RR pic.

What u reckon?

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/08/3ytusyja.jpg

[xenonkuraz]

DRL's for sure man, I personally think the DRL's look way more aggressive located higher as opposed to some I've seen on 8thcivic where they're incorporated in the bottom lip.

Was tempted to say cold air though, but you currently still have your SRI running yeah?


That picture ... need to change my shorts :<

[jprak]

meh!

so expensive for rear? found it for 70 on ebay LOL<.<

[lolmclol]

My foggies arent wired either, dont know how to lol :(

Might be some splicing work, but you could do it similar to the OEM ones as the adapter for it is just chilling next to the water or coolant tank? But you then still need the relay and all the other doodads

[DuffyFD]

I have a set of mugen rep visors if you want them. Pm me

[black8thgen]

looking good duffy! glad to see you finally got the rims and the front bumper back on haha

it looks like you're gonna destroy your front guards even further than already though.....

[Areis]

Looks sick Duffy!! Did you end up angle grinding the front guards? I probably should start doing mine soon so I can fit the BBS.
And damnnn guys, I want to go RR front now.. It's either that or fix my whole front bumper/lip... Or I might just cover it up with the CF v lip..

[black8thgen]

honestly, go typeR front with mugen/J's lip... i reckon that's a good mix between badass and subtle ;)... if i still had my fd i would have gone in that direction

also areis... if u get a cf v-lip you're going to destroy it with ur ride height... its the reason i didnt get one either lol.. i had a DIY rubber lip that ripped off in 2 days =.=... don't want to destroy that CF!

[xenonkuraz]

Dude all those sellers that ship from the US use either FedEx or UPS which is good for time and handling, but cost is like a pole where the sun don't shine.

I've been considering ordering the Mugen Type R lip from Japanparts.com ... lulz 600 lip ... 300~ postage. But if it doesn't fit, I'll feel pretty bad dremeling it lulz.

Was going to buy the lip from Seibon Carbon, contacted them, said they would get back to me, but I don't think they're interested as I'm not ordering a bonnet -_-.

What are you going to do in regards to the airbag light bro?

Edit: I also thought said FT xD

[itachi-kun]

What are you going to do in regards to the airbag light bro?

FD1 doesnt have airbags on the seats

[lolmclol]

^ I'll wait for you to retract that.

Or at least edit it to "the pre-2009 models don't have air bags in the seats" (if that's true or not).

[itachi-kun]

i do have fd2r seats, and there are no airbags on them so im assuming theyre the same with the evo7 seats

[black8thgen]

vti-L does have side airbags in the seats - even pre facelift

[lolmclol]

i do have fd2r seats, and there are no airbags on them so im assuming theyre the same with the evo7 seats

So you have the light visible on your dash or have you removed the light or what? Or have the FD2R seats cancelled it out all together?

[itachi-kun]

i dont have vti-l so doesnt have airbags on seats altogether
getting seats with airbags or without airbags wouldnt matter to me
no airbag lights on dash

[lolmclol]

So I'm presuming from your post, the pre-facelift FD1 doesn't have air bags on the seats? Because the facelift FD1 does.

[black8thgen]

its possible to have the light removed. But it is a bitch and not worth your time and effort unless you're actually serious about tracking the car.

I know a few DC5S owners have just put a piece of tape over the light lol... so as to avoid any defects from cops - which means they're confident enough that airbags will still deploy

I however did ask a Honda dealership mechanic if he knew whether or not the airbag will deploy if the light is on --> he says NO, which was enough to scare the shit out of me so I just sold my fd2r seats (to itachi lol).

Yeah that's the only thing that worries me, because it would be my just luck that it would happen.

The mechanic could have said it to you from a legal standpoint duty of care thing per say but that's being presumptuous on my behalf.

The guys on the US forum have gone to the lengths of removing the light to buying all the required sensors that are in the stock seats and placing them underneath the seats to give them some peace of mind, but unfortunately I haven't come across anything about whether if the air bags have or have no deployed in the event that the car is hit, but I would presume they all would technically, just no verification.

[lolmclol]

Ah ok, thanks for that, wasn't sure to be honest.

[itachi-kun]

Ah ok, thanks for that, wasn't sure to be honest.

should go for fn2r seats since they have seat airbags if ur looking for seats with bags

[lolmclol]

Yeah that's what I've settled on for when I do change them, now I just need to either find one in wrecking or one separately. :-<

Because they have all the necessary bits to not cause any problems I think.

speaking of seat conversions, the rear fd2r seats would just be straight bolt on yea? just that it has 2seats instead of 3
likewise, not sure if there is any airbag issues with the rear seats?

Yes I'm on my P plates. And yes im gonna get a lot of hate for the plates, but i dont give 2 f*cks haha. Haters gon hate!

and in regards to the airbag light. I've been told by bennjamin (moderator on ozhonda) that they should deploy. Furthermore, top one says that they should as well. In saying this, im not saying that they WILL deploy, but that they SHOULD. I'm sure no one really wants to test this theory :P

Yeah i asked Deddy as well he said they should. Someone in USA with an rsx i think said the airbags DID deploy even though his light was on. BUT, rsx would have had an older sensor so you never know - either way, testing out the theory is just ridiculous lol - unless you pulled some stuntman shit and jumped out before the car crashes.....

[jprak]

just to verify the post couple pages back. I currently have a FD1 civic which doesnt come with side airbags. which is why i bought some evo recaros =)

[Areis]

Yeah i asked Deddy as well he said they should. Someone in USA with an rsx i think said the airbags DID deploy even though his light was on. BUT, rsx would have had an older sensor so you never know - either way, testing out the theory is just ridiculous lol - unless you pulled some stuntman shit and jumped out before the car crashes.....

haha yeah true true! also, the RSX and FDs have a similar ECU setup. Deddy tried to bypass my ecu so that the airbag light wont show but no success. He said it was very similar to the DC5S ones as he can't bypass those either.

[l33t]

My local honda dealer said they will in fact not deploy...don't risk it and get fn2 seats!

[lolmclol]

[xenonkuraz]

They wouldn't be held responsible because we are fitting aftermarket seats which do not meet factory specifications and safety requirements

[lolmclol]

[black8thgen]

as someone previously mentioned, honda mechanics will probably be legally liable to say no they don't deploy - in the case that you rip them out and they don't deploy but a mechanic had said they would - they could face a law suit (highly unsuccessful)

[ynot2o99]

Does the 09-10 fd front bar fit on the 08 fd's?

the MOST funny thing happened. probably around the time you made this post

so I've had a couple eventful days where yesterday I took off the oil filter from my jazz and the bloody thread came off the block and stuck to the filter. i ended up having to buy a new one which took all day to chase up cos the old one was damaged.

stuck it in tight with locktite :D and left it to dry this arvo. just came back to fill her up with oil and after pouring two litres i was like FCUK I FORGOT TO CLOSE THE FUMOTO VALVE

* oil all over floor

madskies.

moral of the story...fumoto valve is handy but remember to close the fcuker

Yeah CBf going. Dropping my BBS off to be sprayed that night.

[itachi-kun]

question guys, with the genuine fd2r bar vs the replica fd2r bar
what differences are there?
is the genuine bar more wider? where is it more wider ?
from what i heard the replica bar requires you to cur the reinforcement bar?

just wondering if the J's racing lip can fit the replica fd2r bar or only genuine fd2r bar

[lolmclol]

As far as what I have read, if you get a genuine FD2R front bumper, you will be required to modify the front reinforcement bar, and it is designed for wider fenders, so fenders also need doing.

A replica FD2R front bumper is designed to fit the narrower fenders, and shouldn't require any modification to the the front reinforcement bar.

As for the J's racing front lip, unfortunately its a real 50/50, I've seen it fit snug on the USDM bumpers.
(See this user: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/inside-out/243453-non-hfp-front-lip-club-6.html#post10915768)

[itachi-kun]

mmm the thing is where the lip clips onto the fd2r bar, replica or genuine
if theyre the same width there, then a J's lip would fit reguardless but still not sure if thats the case

[lolmclol]

I've seen how the mugen FD2R lip fits onto the bumper, I'd suspect the J's Racing to be extremely similar.

http://www.tdamotorsports.com/pictures/FL0607HDCV4DJ-MG_02.jpg
http://www.tdamotorsports.com/pictures/FL0607HDCV4DJ-MG_03.jpg

The only problem I've seen with the J's racing one is the official one is in fiberglass, and same with the replica from VIS-Racing (lol the movie torque anyone?)

[lolmclol]

By the way, everything I'm saying I've read so please don't take it as 100% accurate, but I've been looking into this myself as I really want the mugen type R lip :-p ... just $900~ is a lot if it really wont fit hahahaha.

[itachi-kun]

so the (genuine/geniune molded)mugen fd2r lip fits onto a replica fd2r bar fine?

[itachi-kun]

yea its im not sure either, ill have to do more research

I've got a gut feeling yes, I'll upload all the photos I've got soonish that I've found of the J's Racing/Mugen type R lips.

Most of them are on facelifted FD1 front bumpers though.
