Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[JaCe]

I think better quality and look if u just buy a premade red H badge... not that I condone putting red H badges on non Type-R Hondas...

... today was first handwash of my car after debadging. Damn it looks nice without the badges or stickers on the back (apart from the Honda H). After Jo_E's attempt and realising that it would take way too much effort to fix up the holes from removing the H badge, I've decided to leave mine the way it is.

Yeh, even though red badges do look great especially on the white civic i won't be putting them on.

I believe only real type r's are worthy of having the red badges.

My 2 cents :)

Original post by DMX. How sexy is the rear H?

[perfectblue]

i like that double twin exhaust for the black civic, sorry for being noob but any ideas who is manufacturing that? roughly how much is that

[Shimian]

Can someone confirm if the stock rear H is held by double sided tape on top and bottom section + the 2 pins? I was thinking of experimenting and painting it a different colour. Or just go for the red badge.

[cracker]

i was in chatswood tonight and i saw 2 fd's one had similar wheels to brescia but with a red trim and one with the same tail lights as jace and its number plate was...P0P00P or something like that lol

Hi, there is only a very tiny later of double sided tape is holding the badge,,,moreover there is a 2 hold pin which is holding the badge tight. to remove the badge, use a cloth infornt of the very tiny flat screwdriver to remove the badge. i removed my badge completely and cover the hole with the pin that came out from the badge and spray the body color. hope it helps

i saw a white FD with a high kelvin H.I.D and a mugen spoiler on eastern valley way last night...who was it...it looked gud

[SaBReT00tH]

Shimian --> is that white civic in ur previous post, 18 inch rims with 40 profile tyre?

If it was like around 9pm-11pm, that was me :) Went for hot choc at chatswood and then dropped my gf back home.

Btw, I have a type r cf spoiler but i guess it does look like a mugen from the side.

howy are they original cf spoiler? mine is replica and need suggestion... should I make it looks like a cf (e.g. with vynil sticker)?

[howy]

Mine is a replica as well, but the paddle (middle section) is 100% cf.

Depends what colour your car is, eg. if it's white or a lighter colour then go for the cf look coz I reckon there's a better contrast. But if you've got a black or a darker colour you might consider something else.

[denot]

mine is bluish silver. a mate tells me that I should go for the CF looks vinyl. but somehow I still find it too "try hard"

Back to the topic guys. Here my mod for this week. Courtesy of http://www.grafixpressions.com/ cost US$12 and as you can see the cut is perfect that you can just stick it on top of the Black logo. Took me 5 mins each centre cap to best align it and is almost dry now :thumbsup:

[danjoy25]

OEM Civic mats are dissapointing, wear and tear already

[ej20i]

LOLZ!!!!so tru...i thot it was my driving style thats making it dodgy after a short while...gessing not..

[sKy.xD]

how is it getting wrecked? ive had it for over a year and it is still in perfect condition :O.

[Shimian]

mine started to wear out around the heel area when you pivot to accelerate to brake (vice versa). Thats my driving style. I ended up putting a small piece of matt on top to prevent from wearing out.

[kn_19_ht]

Frost_FD - h3n is my frens car..nice huh!

Looks nice :thumbsup:
BTW, your side skirts looks a bit low there. The height of the skirt should be level with the base of your door. Looks like theres a 1.5" gap whereas mine has about 3/4". Im gonna try to install mine higher this weekend.

[rk 86 wa]

frost - dun know h3n personally but he has a nice looking car, but get ur kit fitted and shoot me a pm :)

yah side skirt is a bit lower because they matched it with the front lip height and rear lip height lol

[Shimian]

[kn_19_ht]

hey rk_86_wa..are the side skirts able to sit flush against the bottom of the door?


frost - dun know h3n personally but he has a nice looking car, but get ur kit fitted and shoot me a pm :)

yah side skirt is a bit lower because they matched it with the front lip height and rear lip height lol

[FallenAngel]

Mine is basically inline with the bottom of the door, just about 0.5cm off...

[Frost_FD]

I think i might check after work today if my skirts are lower then front and back.

Lower looks alot better, but getting over those humps must be scary
Judging by my picture it looks hiogh compared to others.

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc280/Frost_FD/CIMG0730.jpg

[Shimian]

Frost: yours looks fine. But still kinda hard to tell. This is the look i am after (level with the base of the door).

I think the reason why some are installed too low is because they use the brackets for the base of the skirt. This basically restricts the height. Ive asked some FD owners whos kit sits flush how this is possible and they say they dont use the brackets, just 3m tape and the front/rear screws.

[rk 86 wa]

you can get the kit to sit flush, but mine was a little bit tight, can fix it easily by just cutting away a bit of the inside of the kit so it fits in snug

[bodaas]

Got from Japan, but not OEM Mugen. just JDM aftermarket.
but not worth it. cost me, just the shipment : $120 :thumbdwn:
10 kg in total. 7 pieces. 2 front, 1 large rear, 2 front underlay (to make it nice and soft), and 2 front cover (small-to cover/protect Mugen logo)


mine started to wear out around the heel area when you pivot to accelerate to brake (vice versa). Thats my driving style. I ended up putting a small piece of matt on top to prevent from wearing out.

hmm. door base level with top skirt ... seems impossible. mine still have, let say 0.2-0.3 cm, otherwise, everytime u open the door, it will touch the skirt, am i right ?:confused:

heya guys..looking @ rk_86_wa's kit install..against others..even though there might be a smaller gap..i think it makes the whole kit alot nicer..as it sits lower...but overall..as long as the bottom of the front, side and rear kit sits in line..it should be ok..thoughts?

skyt7e told me that ur car is really low!!! sounds good! wat coilovers do u have installed?

i have also decided not to install my mugen replica grille..its currently primered but not painted.. im in perth if anyone is interested..PM me =)



Looks nice :thumbsup:
BTW, your side skirts looks a bit low there. The height of the skirt should be level with the base of your door. Looks like theres a 1.5" gap whereas mine has about 3/4". Im gonna try to install mine higher this weekend.

Hey for those who have the mugen rear wing, does it obstruct vision at all?

[Shimian]

well hard to say cos it depends on how tall u are. Ofcourse the top part of wing will be in the way. But you get used to it

[markCivicVti]

Hey for those who have the mugen rear wing, does it obstruct vision at all?

Yeah it does, but during daylight hourse theres plently of light to see whats behind you. Though at night the spoiler can be in that right position to block the headlights of cars behind you for a second, but yeah, you get used to it.

[howy]

I've found my wing to be alright, even though it's slightly different to the mugen one.

At night it partially blocks the view of the headlights which i reckon is a good thing, it's easier for you to drive and not have a blinding light in your rear view mirror.

ooh.. like how I think FD's have good handling after I tried driving an STi :rolleyes:

FD's handle pretty well for a car of its class, but to compare it to a typeR (Even the watered down FN2R's), that's just a joke.

Whislt I reckon the FD1 has great handling compared to other cars in the price range and class, I'm still a bit paranoid after reading this remark regarding high speed lane change maneuvers from Wheels Magazine;


Interestingly, and going against the more popular perception that smaller cars are more agile, the Honda managed an entry speed of just 105km/h into the lane-change exercise - just 3 and 4km/h better than Territory and RAV4 respectively - before its rear end started doing the pendulum thing. Every vehicle you could expect might beat it here, did, with the exception of the Corolla. This result was at odds with the Honda's solid performance in the slalom (sixth), demosntrating that swerve and recover ability is speed-dependent.

Ivan_Y ---> Holy crap, are they 20s?? How did you get them on if Civics can only be upgraded to have 17s? I heard anything more than 2 inches from stock causes:

a) a bumpy ride
b) high potential for bent rims
c) rotor/gear problems
d) bearings to become wrecked

even with coilovers one would still have the problem of at least c and d?

[Phlirt]

What do you mean civics can only be upgraded to 17's?

a) yes 20s would increase the comfort of the ride - but if you have 20's on you car you aren't going for comfort
b) not sure why 20's would increase the chance of bending your rims
c) not sure how 20's would increase your gears?
d) possible - but its a risk you take

[denot]

a) yes 20s would decrease the comfort of the ride - but if you have 20's on you car you aren't going for comfort

just a catback should not void engines warranty as its just an outlet and almost impossible to cause an engine to fail.
intakes on the other hand will void engine warranty.

no, they are 19" but u can put 20" on fd1 for sure. :thumbsup:

a) about bumpy ride, it not 100% depends on the rims, depends on ur spring as well
b) bent rims, depends on the offset of the rims
c) rotor/gear problem, have no idea with this one lol, but i dont think so

Hmm... I wonder if that improves throttle response on drive by wire. I'm inclined to think the throttle delay is more artificially imposed (at least in the auto).

[rene]

Guys quick question about civic FD fog lights..whats the different between oem from Ebay and original Honda? Honda's incorporate the switch on light switch "stick", does oem one's similar? or switch on your dashboard? which is eww.

[danjoy25]

you get a push button switch for ebay one's that you can mount on the dash.

The Mazda3 has DBW and they're saying its made slight improvements to the throttle.

MUGEN front grille went on today..
will throw a picture up when i get the foglights on later this week

[markCivicVti]

For those who don't know sprintbooster is a little module that gets installed near the pedals for dbw systems... it basically is an amplifier, making the dbw smoother and more responsive... they claim it makes the car more fun to drive... i was just wondering if anyone has tried it yet.

I'm gonna have a trial fit... but they are pretty pricy... and i'd only consider it if it makes a massive diff.

[howy]

I remember reading about it on an sg civic forum, but personally I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

How much is it anyway mark? Are you buying it online or is there an aussie shop that has supply of them?

[markCivicVti]

999 Automotive have it... or should have it by now. But they were quoting $550 i think from memory, which is a bit expensive. But they'll do a free trial fit so i can drive around and see if its worth it.

[akina]

keep in mind these sprintboosters ur talking about dont actually add any HP at all.
it basically just makes ur power curve more linear and the same can be achieved under WOT.
this device just cuts out the lag from what DBW gives because DBW filters out abit of the response as u may go through bumps at highspeed
these things are pretty expensive given what it does... buddyclub is about to introduce it into aus, and the price is gonna be around $500!

[markCivicVti]

Yeah, no added power of course... just changes the response of the dbw. I'm not expecting great things from it.

I'd definitly want to trial it before purchasing it - as I said, it has to make quite a difference before I'd consider buying it. I just saw i can buy it online off a SG car place for AUS$350.

[kazam]

rails may need to be modified I belive, thats usually the case with swapping seats

[rk 86 wa]

lol i bought buckets, and then sold them cause the rails are a hoe, you need to make a 90degree bracket or get one made for you as our stock seat rails are not paralell if that makes sense. plus if you have an fd2, i dont think you can legally swap seats cause of air bags?

[FallenAngel]

Same with the FD1 because of the side air bags.

,everyone driving in their Sport rims and it looks too common.I think I'll change to something different.....


I guess it depends on what you started with. I got a VTI (May 08), so I decided to get the sports rims. Its not really that common as I've seen alot more VTI, VTI-L versions rather than sports. I've been to the FD meet and only one had a sports and he doesn't even have the sports rims. Come to think of it, I've only had my car end of May and have seen more of the new Civic Type R than the Civic Sports.:confused:

[denot]

wow! danjoy come to eastern suburbs mate!!! I show you 07++ Civic Sports... a lot of them!! mostly driven by ladies, old gramps and family guy. So no one bothered to come to the FD meet. er.. i drove 06 model, so I'm not one of them :p

[danjoy25]

I guess my location (Mt Druitt) the ratio is less as mostly Civics here are VTI like mine so having the sports rims are not that common.

We had close to 15 fder's in the last meet and another one is being planned EOM (31 Aug):thumbsup:

[santa3563]

Yeah, that's right,so many around in the eastern suburb,I think I'll swap the wheels and get rid of the sports rims,way too common.I'll post some pics when I swap the rims.

Front bumper with mesh ? lower part ? impossible, need to custom by urself, but i'm thinking to do it in next few weeks, using Mazda6 LUX lower grille.
coz i don't like mesh sheet, too thin, i like plastic and thick ones, so it will match my type-r mesh grille.

eng cerf. to upsizing 4 inches ? looks no hope. even mine, up 3 inches, i still worries to get it in next 2 month :(

[dmx]

well, it's not about pull over. for me, more concern about insurance issue. They said, they will cover as long you declared to them. okay, no problem.
but in other clause, written : they will not cover any illegal modifcation. and upsizes more than 2" in diamater and 1' at width (by RTA) is illegal.
so with NRMA, everytime u had accident, we need go to NRMA center, well, if they see this, see that. hmmm... evryone try to save money, so does NRMA, worry they will try to find some excuse not to cover ur car.:thumbdwn:

There you go.. 2" from the overall diameter (Rims + Tyres) is what I heard.. I might be wrong though..

[happy]

I spoke to RTA person, he said maximum upsize is 2" to rims diamater....Which is right ?

[kazam]

of course its right u heard it from the RTA

[denot]

is that means we can upsize to 18" for 06 Sports, 19" for 07+ Sports, 17" for 06 Vti and VtiL, 18" for 07+ Vti and VtiL? :confused:

[danjoy25]

what ever the overall diameter is of the model you can go 2" inches up. I also confirmed this with an RTA inspector. My thinking before was 15" then you can only go up to 17", but its the actual diameter of OEM + 2 inch. So a VTi that came with stock 15" rims and 65 series rubber should be legal if you change to an 18 inch rim with 35 series rubber.

If you dont want insurance to f*ck you over dont modify your car. simple.

then its not like they can not pay you?



oh and i thought danjoys reasoning was correct too

hmmm... my friend got an aftermarket bodykit on his car when he got accident last time, not his fault, NRMA doesnt care and give him a new one! So as long as its not your fault, I think Insurance company wont care...

That's right, if it's not your fault then your insurance company is cool about it because they are getting the money from the other person's insurance company.

Just make sure you have the receipt or some proof of the items installed in your car.

they had to shave the factory holes first.. cause if you've ever taken off your number plate u will see big factory rectangular holes and a flat surface for the number plate. which is quite ugly

and finally painted my grill lol

outa interest im looking to get window tints done.. any idea where in syd u can go to get it done properly?

[ej20i]

install done by Tim and myself.

Alpine CDE-9882Ri Headunit

Alpine MRP-M650 V-Power Amp

Alpine SBR-S122V 12 inch Type R SUB in original box

Angle brackets mounted around the Sub to avoid moment (as those non slip mats dont do the job)

(i think it makes it legal now as i heard RTA rules say the sub needs to be mounted to the car)

might be getting type r splits soon..

Lets see what you guys think.

thanks mate. what HU u looking to buy?

[Frost_FD]

I do like you one alot, is it ipod compatiable? and steering wheel controls compatiable?

[nny911]

I do like you one alot, is it ipod compatiable? and steering wheel controls compatiable?

mines only vti. no volume controls on steering. its ipod/usb/cd/mp3/wma/aac reciever/ compatible, includes the ipod cable

you can hook up bluetooth/aux to it but u need to buy that seperate.

[warwick108]

frost d.. have you connected up the amp and sub? to the stock head unit?.
how does it sound?
if you havnt connected it up because u havnt got a new head unit.. wasnt the smart move to buy the head unit first??

[dmx]

I spoke to RTA person, he said maximum upsize is 2" to rims diamater....Which is right ?
so this time, we have a bit confussion.
2" upsize at rims diamter ONLY or 2" max upsize rim+tyre diameter ???


hmmm... my friend got an aftermarket bodykit on his car when he got accident last time, not his fault, NRMA doesnt care and give him a new one! So as long as its not your fault, I think Insurance company wont care...
because bodykits not effecting your driving. but wheel, steering wheel, brakes modification will effect your driving (handling).
my fren change the aftermarket steering wheel (smaller) and didn't disclose to NRMA, they refused to cover the whole claims, because they said the small steering wheel, make your car hard to handle to drive, and bla..bla..bla...

The main problem is at one stage NRMA said will cover as long you declared, and at the other point, the said, they will not cover any illegal mods.
:confused:

you add module to makes your steering wheel audio control compactible with your aftermarket HU.

[denot]

dmx, does this mean that I cant just "plug and play" an aftermarket D-Din HU and hope that the steering wheel audio control on my civic sports will work?

plug and play ? only half ;-)
but just connect the adapter, but you need to put that adapter infra red near your new HU. small infra red DOT.
anyway, r u surf internet during working ??? LOL

wow how do you know??? :p anyway, thanx for the info, I dont want to upgrade the HU and then find out that the button doesnt works :p

Hahaha warwick, you do have a good point there...
But i had to buy an alpine filter which i got them to throw it in for 20 bucks along with my 400 dollar discount.

The filter taps into the rear speakers and then the amp is plugged into the filter with has a RCA (aux) out.

Sounds good but i think if i had a head unit it will sound better.

I think its pumping at 50% potential right now.... dont get my wrong my car still shakes but still i think it has more potential as i put it in my cousin's car and it pumps.... but then again he has type r and s splits.

[cracker]

most new alpine headunits are steering wheel compatible, furthermore alpine pwns...and on that note, alpine ftw

[funkdr]

For the steerign wheel controls to work with the aplines you need a PAC controller mine uses PAC -SWIJACK i think its 3 wires you have to wire in and a resistor to make all work i put one in mine pm me if you need parts/help with install

oh i get it.. for white its huge both front and back

but for black euro its big for the back.. whereas the front is smaller than a standard number plate.

i guess the rta finally figured it was too big for the front

[Jo_e]

[ej20i]
