Hi Areis, thank you for the info.

[black8thgen]

looking good duffy!

[heyalannn]

I need some help guys.

So about 2 weeks ago, I picked up my car from repairs, and I noticed the horn doesn't work. Now the guy won't open for another two weeks, so should I wait for him to open back up and let him inspect it, or try to fix it myself? If so, does anyone have any clue as to where the horn might be located, would I need to take off the entire front bumper?

Cheers for the help guys.

[lolmclol]

Looking naice and clean duffy, should post morrree :-P

Its on the passengers side just beneath the front reinforcement bar ... and yes you will probably need to take off the front bumper ...

OEM Modulo kit, available at any dealership.

Mugen "N-Spec"? ... mainly ebay dealers basically the side skirts and the back bumper are the same as the normal Mugen kit, but the front lip is designed for the face lift.

Although he isn't a site sponsor (anymore) Leonardy at JDMConcept (ordered from him before, fantastic service) might be able to sort something for you. Or you can try JDM Yard ... I'm just not a fan of them.

Yeah they're too weak. I was this close to getting them in 17x9.5 +18 which would set your car off perfectly.

I run spacers on the front, have been for 18 months or more. I suggest you get 2 sets of 20mm.

Problem with rpf1s is that until they get 9inches wide and around +20 offset the faces look soft.

Only thing thats stopping me from going aggressive is because i take a full load quite often. I was thinking around 10-15mm of 2 sets. What brands of spacers you running Duffy? Eibachs are heaps good but a but pricey. At the moment im running 215/45 tyres and i think i should switch to 215/40 when i do get the spacers.

[envoytheguy]

Hey guys quick question on wheel fitment. I've read the EP3/FN/FD wheel setup thread and still need a bit of confirmation.
I'm looking to get 18x9 + 32 wheels for my FD. Planning to lower to about 1 finger gap on Buddyclub C N+ coilovers soon. Will I run into scrubbing issues with 225/40 kumho KU31 tyres? I'm looking at these tyres because they meet the minimum load rating. I'm aware that I'll need a bit of guard work (front and rear?) but will that completely eliminate scrubbing?

Thanks!

You're going to need to camber that shit.

[simmy]

hey lads, when installing a muffler on a fd, do any mods need to be made? (previously on a fd)

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/JOhnnyFD1/R0011814.jpg

[envoytheguy]

Hahaha Im guessing natural camber isn't enough? You're referring to the rear wheels right?

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/JOhnnyFD1/R0011814.jpg

no... unless ur an fd2 and its a catback.

[simmy]

no... unless ur an fd2 and its a catback.

sweet, just worried about the clearance of the bumper

[JOhnnyFD]

My x-force.. This was on a fd1 with a fd2r rear bumper.. If u want to fit it on fd1 with stock rear bumper, mods need to b made for clean fitment as fd2r muffler openin is more to the right

[simmy]

how about on a standard fd1 bumper with and without a rear lip?
what type of mods are you talking about? like hacking the rear bar or getting longer rubbers so it hangs slightly lower

[JOhnnyFD]

Mods would b better done on the muffler rather than on the bumper.. The flanges prob need to b relocated and mayb the pipe to b recut.. Muffler shop can do this for ya

[heyalannn]

Hey guys, I need an option on what will looks nicer. My wheels are 18x8.5+30 & I'm after a new set of tyres.

1. 225/40R18
2. 215/45R18

Which one will have a nicer looking fitment? I'm guessing the 215/45 will have a better stretch?

[hencanwa]

235/40/18 will look kinda square, 225/40/18 will look slightly stretch , 215/45 stretch for look and comfort ill take 225 40

[Areis]

how about on a standard fd1 bumper with and without a rear lip?

I have the buddyclub catback on my FD2. I also have the mugen rear lip and its melting it gradually. This is because my exhaust is designed for the US model and thus sits a bit shorter. I'm going to fix it by getting the exhaust cut, extended and then rewelded. Hope this helps in any way.

Heyalan: go for 215/40 IMO.

[SharkChu]

Anyone ever thought of replacing the stock horn? I've been meaning to switch to an Accord Horn, but no idea where to source one, nor install it! (Yes I'm a newbie with a FD).

[xenonkuraz]

I replaced mine with two Hella Supertones. Sounds just like the Euro horn (maybe even louder).

eBay 'Hella Supertones' and all you have to do is remove the stock horn (behind the bumper) and wire the new ones in, 30-60min job for a novice.

[black8thgen]

yeah civic horn was shit.... my s2k horn is a lot louder coming from a smaller car makes the fd horn sound like a whisper

Anyone fitted bride gias seats to their FD? Allstars is this weekend and I have a pair lying around... Might put them in if its easy.

[black8thgen]

does the type r bodykit require a custom exhaust tip? im pretty someone talked about it before in this forum but i cant seem to dig out that post...

[jprak]

^think you meant alter the exhaust of the way its hanging. gotta hang it lower or else it might burn the plastic

[heyalannn]

i like the clear look

[simmy]

hey, does anyone have a guide or tips to connecting the 4th brake light on a fd1?

[jprak]

Simpson, its Prak your bros friend

Hmmm from what I saw on my car, there's a small hole under the car which leads to the spare tyre area and you follow it to the cables where the brake lights work.

Or if you want go to the auto electrician at meadows rd (corner) and they can install for ya for 88bux

Other breathing mods, include Injen CAI and RBC intake manifold

The car feels like it has considerably more torque in the mid range, and revs much more freely :), Sounds deep and throaty on low revs, and extremely loud and high pitched on high revs. Overall great mod, recommended !!

[jprak]

Simmy; recommended to put on lip and let them install it after.
Easier for you.
Tell your mate to get his kit sprayed and instal after

Advice for the rear lip installation, use the spare tyre under the lip when installing, helps aligning it and all.

Yeah I helped a bit with the install, $3K I wish ........ Ill put some numbers up later on with a full build report, lets just say I was the sacrifical lamb and anybody who wants to go done this path will do it a bit cheaper than me ! And I'm also running FLASHPRO. Not 100% sure but I may be the first R18a in Oz to get this too working, thanks to Benny and Jimmy at BYP.

This is only stage 1, I'll be running E85 later on this year and Ill probably bump the boost a little B-)

Taking a guess the kit set you back around 4k~4.5k, tuning and installing has been ontop. Congratulations on getting this up and running mate.

lolmclol the Kit wasnt that expensive as I went direct with Manufacturer, got an amazing deal which inlcuded the larger 410cc injectors n clips ! i'll post and honest no bullshit build thread later on, as I said BYP worked out how to get Flashpro working with a JDM R18a which Im pretty sure hadn't been done before in OZ. As you know K swaps for FD1 and FD2 would cost more than double what I just spent.

would installing a js racing catback exhaust decrease my low end torque?

LOL @ 'sacrifical lamb'! It wasn't too bad, its a good learning experience for all parties involved. Its hard being a first for something, there is alot of unknown. Luckily enough it all worked out in the end. No engine light and the car runs very well!

Curtis265 excuse my terminology, JDM = AUDM for me ... LOL ! This is the standard Yanky Flashpro that is supplied for the USDM R18a's, Benny has been clever enough to get Flashpro talking 100% with my motor ! Launch control is set at 4,000rpm and my speedo will be recalibrated to 250kmh, currently it cuts out at 210kmh. TBH I was expecting the Turbo would pull hard but Im a bit shocked at how hard it pulls early in the rev range.

[lolmclol]

which turbin did you use?

Should/might be the garrett GT25 turbo

[Stevil]

little old Garrett GT25, ball bearing GT25 was a $300 upgrade, but with the turbo coming on so early with our single cam I didnt see the point !

[lolmclol]

hrhr beat you by a few seconds there Stevil :-P

[EKVTIR-T]

Ah no wonder it spools early,theyre great for small engines and power outputs

very response

[Benson]

I'm quite impressed with the power gain from such a simple kit. By far, the best bang for buck! nearly 50kw gain and nearly doubling torque across the entire rev range!

[xenonkuraz]

Initially I gained 50kw too! 6psi, stock exhaust and garrett gt2860rs.

now after doing a full exhaust mod and further intake mods, its doing almost 80kw on stock, boosting from as low as 1000rpm

heya dude. I've tried a few different setups.

first one was apexi power intake. felt like that didn't have enough surface area and was bogging hard all the time.

second setup was bmc cda with cold air snorkel to front bar. car didn't bog at all but couldn't hear da flutterz n turbo spools :(

current setup is open pod again but with the one that came with the kit - similar to a 3a pod with big surface area. lengthened my intake pipe close to the headlight (relocated my battery) to get the maf as far away from the turbo as possible and now its running sweet.

had a couple runs against an s15 today on private race track and boy was i blown away...by how fast my car is. both times we did rolling start drop to 3rd gear pull and instantly my car would pull 2 lengths ahead and stay ahead the whole time. maxed out 4th gear at 175kph. unsure of mods on s15 but it looked pretty decked out.

Simmy if you can take the bumper off the car for a day or over night, apply the tape, then apply a heat gun over it gently to warm the adhesive further, also don't be stingy with the tape, lather that bum up nomsaying also clean the surface properly with adhesive promoter or wax and grease remover.

Camber is used for better handling on the track or fitting rims under guards because stance|works.

if you're keeping that height then i wouldn't bother as it will just wear your tyres out unevenly.

you also cannot adjust camber without the relevant camber tops which usually come with aftermarket coilovers

Oh and Johnny, how'd you go with installing the springs??

[black8thgen]

never get white rims that are multi spoked. The furthest i'd go are white te37s.. any more spokes such as ce28 and you get back pains and headaches tryna clean that shit lolol... and then two days later back to grey.. i had white xd9s and it was a mission to clean well... not to mention how dirty the inner part of the wheel gets and good luck cleaning that without some degreaser of some sort T_T...

Welcomeee! :) My rims are XXR 530s!



I plastidipped my XXRs are they are seriously the worst to clean, all the dirt gets like stuck inside and no matter how hard I scrub it doesn't come off!! :( I wanna get them powder coated, or just get rid of them hahaha

That's because you probably didn't do them right, shit job yields shit results.

Thanks guys, advice duly noted and I'll scrap the brakes. Will also steer away from too many spoked white rims.

Personally, those rims are not worth getting at that price and condition. The width and offset are a bit weak for a FD

Also white rims are a bitch to clean.
