As long as you advise them, I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems. Should you not advise them and you have an accident and its proven that it was due to faulty brakes, you'd have tough time trying to find a leg to stand on.

Would the same apply to coils?

I would ensure that you advise them, just to ensure you don't have any problems in the future.

But worst case scenario should you not advise them and you have an accident and the assessor feels your car wasn't roadworthy due to having non-ADR approved suspension, thus causing your accident, you'd have tough time trying to find a leg to stand on.

Just disconnect the battery whilst installing?

Remove the + and - terminals from the battery, and ensure that you're careful with the sensor from the intake.

Too hardcore? Saw a set of rims i want but 10" with low offset scares me :s
Is it even possible?

jprak
06-02-2014, 01:30 AM
its possible, jamie ran 10" all around but it'll poke and all. 9" +22 will poke (rear) front wont if you got camber bolts.

Do you have any pictures of an 8th gen with +18 rears and +22 front?
My coilovers have Camber Top. But no Camber arms in the rear. Will i need to roll guards running +18 in the rear?

I really want those rims because they're dirt cheap. Just dont want problems running them
or them being too wide. Dont want it to be overkill. Not Enough SWAG to go full stance like
those stanced cars in US and Japan

What specs are yours Jprak?

06-02-2014, 01:22 PM
My bags have camber top . Might need bolts just Incase
Guard rolled for sure on rear
I'm running + 20 on rear
No pics man sorry

17x9.5 +20 all around
Camber top and bolt front
Natural rear
Rear guards rolled

Thats alright. 17x10+18 wont look much different right? I dont mind your poke.
17x9+22 will be no problems in reguards to clearance for coilovers?

Wait, $400 for facelift wheels? This secondhand? I'm trying to get a estimate on my facelift wheels. Where did you get this pricing from? Might have to lower my price on my powder coated wheels.

and yeh, CR Kais. Im getting new work wheels from them JDM Concept too, price is competitive as the shipping costs outweigh the higher cost of the wheels.

Hi guys, so i got into a massive accident on Saturday 8th of Feb at Villawood on the corner of Woodville Road and Tangerine St. I was going towards Granville/Parramatta and it was green light for me. I saw a Volvo on the other side of the lane who was coming up to the intersection to turn right onto Tangerine St. Since it was green for me I knew it was okay for me to go, as soon as i was at the intersection the other idiot decided to turn. I couldn't break in time, and we collided. Biggest shock of my life as i blanked out for about 4-5 seconds.

When i came to there was smoke everywhere (most likely from the tyres) and my 7 week only puppy in the passenger seat flew forward. She was saved by her air bag but mine did not deploy. Most important thing was both sides of the party were not badly hurt (i had a couple bruises and a sore neck). We exchanged details (he was a green P plater) and i asked the other driver if he acknowledged that he was in the wrong, he nodded and replied "It was a red arrow for me but i thought you were going to stop."

He had 3 other friends in the car with him, the guy in his passenger seat had a bruised and bleeding nose due to his air bag being deployed. Firefighters were on the scene pretty much 2 mins later to control the traffic and remove our cars off the road, but police did not show up till 2 hours later. I did a statement with the police officer and overheard the other driver saying i ran a red light.. Anyway i was informed he will be issued with an infringement notice and a fine.

The rest is history but im pretty sure my baby is a write off.

Not gonna get them, I already have wheels on the way. But good to know in the future. =D

Definitely get your neck checked out man, might suffered whiplash and it's effects could be a lot worse down the track in relation to a bigger problem involving your back. Just cover your ass with the douche trying to pull a fast one. You got any contact details of witnesses to back up your side?

Having flush wheels isnt about the rims height.
Its the width and offset.

If you want to get rid of the wheel gap then you need higher profile tyres. Which is ugly. I'd rather wheel gap
Getting 18s with 215 or 225 on stock height wont have any problems.
Rolling guards is only if you have wide wheels. 18" with high offset is okay

Also depends on what you're going to do to the car in the future.

Alpine Type R speakers and dynamat on the doors in. Definitely need an amp, it's only slightly better than stock. Only had the dynamat done around the speakers. (my door lock, is kind of flimsy, its hard to open and close it.. not sure what happened there, maybe loose?)

Injen CAI in, no CEL. Quickly installed. Though, there's a vibrating noise coming from down where the air filter is. Not sure what's causing it. It's audible when the car is idling at the lights with the music off. Maybe vibrating off the fender?

What you guys think?

hi guys
do you know how to adjust damping on BC rear coilover?
thanks

If the coilover has the dampening knob, all you do is go to the boot, remove one screw that sits at the highest part of the boot lining. Then you just pull back and you will see the top of your coil. It takes less than 30secs to access the coils.

To all the 8th gen owners in Melbourne!!!

As you may know 100mm is this weekend! And because of that there
will be a few people coming down from other states (Jamie, Brent and some of their FilthyOnes) Brent and I are trying to organize Jamies FD and my FD for a photoshoot. If any of you boys have nothing to do and want to come out for a few photos and just to kick back talk about shit and get to know each other. Let me know so we can organize something.

Im thinking of going under the BolteBridge in Docklands but since 100mm is near Docklands people might be there and take up the good view. If anyone have any suggestions. Im all ears

well I cracked it this week and boost has finally been wound up from 7 to 10 psi, no suprises on the dyno really, apart from the extra 25kw and 50nm atw now, 2nd gear wont hold traction no matter what the surface is. Power has now been more than doubled from the original 104kw, Eastern Creek next wed nite so a new pb is on the cards. Lets see how long the clutch last B-) !!!

curtis265
20-02-2014, 10:37 AM
Dyno plots pls stevil!

Is that a stock motor?

and does that mean you're pushing 208 kw atw o.0?

Stevil
20-02-2014, 10:58 AM
Curtis still the stock motor, yep my cars probably making around the 210kw and 360 nm at the crank, will put up the dyno chart later, pretty much gained 20kw + from 3 - 6000rpm, real suprise was how much torque is available at only 3,500rpm, how does 280nm atw sound ! lol.

to protect the motor I dropped the rev limiter another 100rpm and launch control is now set at 2,700rpm. Next phase is working out how to fit some 255/265 wide rubber up front !

curtis265
20-02-2014, 11:54 AM

Stevil
20-02-2014, 02:34 PM
yeah Curtis its got the full 10psi going on at around 3K, holds it till 5 ish then starts to taper off back to 7psi near redline. Unfortunately there arent any aftermakert IM thou a few custom ones have been built. Its a shame as this motor has alot going for it even thou it was designed for fuel economy. I may swap the T25 over to a T28 later in the year and see if I can get a few more ponies !!

Yeah its on when my headlights are on, and it flashes when i brake.

I said to them if anything its a safety feature, but they believe that if your car doesn't come with it you shouldn't modify it.

In the end they just say "you're not allowed to have it on", not so much of a fine.

Haha cheers guys, I got shiftperformance to do it for me. Nice and quick.

Quick review, js racing JUST muffler, with a silencer, is really quiet, just barely above stock. Without silencer, it sounds much better, but not overly loud. My mate just got the js racing cat back, now that this is super loud.

Pretty happy.

And the UR RSB, had to widen the holes a little, couldn't use the rectangluar plate, as there wasn't really anywhere to put it when attaching to the car, hopefully no dramas with that. Can slightly see improvements during turns.

overall pretty happy.!

No problems with back pressure because i didnt go too big. Mine is a straight pipe from catback into a Varex Muffler.
No real noticeable loss down bottom end. But you can slightly feel a difference Mid Range - Redline. Feels a bit more smoother because no restrictions.

sway bars for civic FD1
ultra, cusco and whiteline which one is the best to get guys?

Honestly. I would just go for the OEM Civic Si swaybars.
If i remember correctly. They are 25mm Solid front and 17mm rears.

Someone correct me if im wrong..

I got Ultraracing RSB installed last week. Notice the difference, I purposely go slightly faster around corners xD , had some wheel sliding once =/

I tried getting OEM Civic Si before I chose UR, but had trouble getting it shipped from the US, due to size restrictions..

Stock FD front is 24mm, and rear is 11mm (it literally looks like a tree twig). So I went with the 19mm UR instead of the crazy think 23mm cusco/whiteline. ultra racing also makes 16mm which I saw via ebay as well.

Hope that helps.

That's the reason why I only asked about Cusco, Ultra or Whiteline

If they all had the same price which one would you go for? still Ultra Racing?

UR, only cause johnnyFD I think, or was it Aeris, had an issue of the Cusco snapping off, when he hit a corner edge on the road, I believe it's just too stiff and not enough flex to maintain integrity. But going from 11mm to 19mm already a big difference, not to mention stock is hollow, and the aftermarkets i believe are full metal bars. Only thing, the UR holes are smaller than our civic's holes, so they have to widen the hole slightly, as the mechanic at shiftperformance, say's they slightly uncomfortable as this can reduce the strength of the holes holding the bar. But so far so good.

Can't speak for Cusco, or whiteline, besides that they are thicker and provide better stability. there's a fella in the parts for sale section selling the whiteline RSB, prob can ask him for feedback on it.

You pricks stealing my thunder !!!

yeah yeah how does 2 Blown Motors in 14 days sound !! lol

1st motor was approaching 130,000km, been absolute abused as NA at 15 trackdays, valve bounced allday everyday at 7psi for the last 12mths which included 6 tracks, solid 148.4kw ATW. bottom end bearing eventually failed.

anyway I threw another motor in and I thought phuck it lets turn the boost up to 10 psi !! Holy Shit power went up a nice 24kw atw but torque went up by 50nm atw. This meant that instead of the stock 170NM, my poor little conrods now had to deal 350+ NM at only 3,500rpm. Yep I managed to squeeze in a twilight session at the Creek last week and the speeds were 10-15kmh quicker everywhere. I was short shifting at 5,500rpm such was the torque ! pulled well over 200kmh down the main straight and finished the nite in 1 piece.

Well that was the good bit, then Tues after work sth of Nowra in a 60 zone 1 of the rods decided the party was too much, all the engine oil was dumped back onto the turbo manifold ( could barely see past the white cloud ) pulled over n grabbed the fire ext as I was thinking it would surely go up in flames !

Anyway got a motor with only 40,000km on it so its in and Im back to 7 PSI ! where it will stay for the time being ............

bit of Video my mate recorded from his 450kw/840NM XR6 trackcar ( does 1.08s at Wakefield ), not going hard as this was my first session at 10 Psi and I was concerned about the Exedy clutch not holding the torque, it did.

08-03-2014, 03:07 PM
Nah all good Curtis, been a crazy month or 2 for the Civic. I sorta knew I was close to the limit these Motors can handle in terms of HP ( 300 HP seems to be the number bandied about in the US before you need to start build the motor, I just didnt really factor in that Torque would kill it so Quik ). Motors are cheap so I have no qualm's about pushing an OEM motor past its limits B-)

I can't say for sure which ones are privately owned, but if it looks old, rundown and they aren't wearing the BP uniform that's one sign.

Look for modern stations or stations that are in areas which have high levels of traffic that will at least ensure that the fuel has a higher chance of being fresh as it should have a high turn over.

I've found I get 600km on 98RON BP Ultimate, at a major BP station, 540km on 98RON BP Ultimate, at a "second-tier" BP station, and 480km on 98RON BP Ultimate, at a privately owned BP station :-P

Got to love the variance, which again varies on the length the fuels been in the tank, the quality of the tanks, the quality of the pump etc.

Metro/city driving for me :-P

600KM? How do you get 600KM out of an FD tank... I've gotten 350KM MAX. By that time the light came up and I was rushing to the nearest servo.

It goes near empty (like 4 dots) at about 275KM for me...

Never thrash my FD either, drive like a grandpa... never making it past 3K RPM as well. This is in the city with off-peak traffic at speed of 70/80KMH.

Pretty dissapointed when my Civic drinks the same amount as an Accord at 11.8 to 12.5L/100KM. :(

Woooooowwwwww

I drive "hard" (yeah honda yolooooo) and even when I do I'll only drop down to 580 :-S

I do run my tyres at 39psi ... But realistically that shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Do it for sure!! Always see other models filling up and wonder what non hybrids get. I've asked a few people at the pumps and they ignore me.
I'm sure getting 5-600 wouldn't be a thing if driven slowly.

Tbh the hybrids are a wank. Not as good as they're makers claim.

You got aftermarket rims lolmclol????

So, This is how my weekend went.. Picked up some 17" Gram Light 57s
Super cheap. Picked it up on the same day ad was posted up.
Had to raise the front 15mm. Front wheel wouldnt turn at all. Popped my right guard on the way home -.-

Hehe Thanks. It came with 225/45 on the rears. Which my guards did not like at all!
Had to get 215/45 on an 9.5" Lol wasnt easy but a friend of mine owns a Tyre shop and managed to do it on second try.

Can you believe the rears are on natural camber & Guards arent rolled.. I dont have Camber arms

17x8.5+30 - 215/40
17x9.5+38 - 215/45

Offset is a bit high but in person the poke is awesome. Glad my didnt go
lower offset otherwise i would have to spend more money rolling my guards & ect. ect. ect.

Im using an Optima Yellow Top. Dry Cell.
Not really necessary but my standard battery that came with the car couldnt handle my sound system
so i had to get something with alot more power.

Shit thing about Dry Cells is that you CANNOT jumpstart a car lol
But the battery lasts ages. Left my acc on at a party with music pumping for a few hours and next day
car started up first go.

Stock guards. Natural Camber. Stiff Coilovers.
Only thing I did with my previous wheels was to cut a whole in a plastic liner
covering the fuel line and then taping it up with heavy duty tape.

Surprised natural camber is good enough, you're pretty low too.


Yeah just bought a century battery with higher CCA, my OEM battery failed 3 battery test so thought id be better safe than sorry.

Yeah. Rears JUST makes it. Got about a finger between guard and rim. I had 225/45 that came with the rims.
Rear guards didnt enjoy them at all. Had to put 215/45 on the back. Awesome stretch.


Whats wrong with all your FDs? LOL
Mines an FD2 with K&N SRI and catback exhaust and $10 of BP Ultimate (3-4 Bars)
can get me about 130km and thats me giving it a little beating from time to time.
I did a full tank last week and got little under 500km (All freeway)
