Moments like these, I should have bought a Yaris :P

[Shimian]

[starocean01]

might a dumb question but...what do u guys use to clean ur car's interior? in particular the textured parts on the dash in front of the passenger seat...
i can never seem to clean all the dust.... ==

[threesix]

Yeah, so dusty. I just have a cloth in the car always.

I just use wet wipes to wipe down my leather seats and always keep a microfiber clothe in the drivers door.
Give it a quick wipe when the cars getting warmed up or whenever i have time. Nothing special

[NeedVtec]

Call me crazy but a part of me wants to get ford territory rims for my civic...

These cloths are perfect for cleaning dust, combined with a wet cloth after, it should be easy.

Are territorys 5x114.3?

Get Coilovers! or save up a little more for some aftermarket rims
Territory rims would be atleast $1,000

Btw, anyone know where to get the front DRL and lip for the Mugen RR front bumper? There was a listing on ebay a while ago, can't see to find it.

Yeah it's custom. Cost like $15 on eBay.

Rear tyres on mine are 225/40 on 18x8. Must be the angle of the photo that makes it look more skinnier than they are, cause they got a bit of poke :)

What have you done to your car and what are next?
More photos, why not?

[curtis265]

If you got a skinnier rim it makes them look thinner

i had 245's on my 7.5" wheels and then 245's on my 9" wheels

guess which tyres looked fatter

Parents being a buzz kill... The Usual.

Interested in anything?

why yu do dis 4, no sell!

Tell my mum that. Shes been yelling all day.

[stevo1210]

Tell my mum that. Shes been yelling all day.

Bribe her with a new TV. I did that after spending $$$ on the Modulo kit + other goodies and it solved everything. LOL

Come to think of it, it's my car and I spent MY OWN cash I MADE from work, so I don't understand... but anyway... :(

[curtis265]

Happens. My parents were like that before too when they were all about me investing it wisely.

You'll never get these dollars back.

[darktmt]

Did abit of research and came to the conclusion that i can use these brake pads

for my 2006 honda civic, can anyone confirm with me that this is correct.

Cheers. In addition is there any facebook pages for FD australia or FD brisbane or similar?

[curtis265]

It says it can so it can

but i've never heard of the brand so i can't say how quiet/clean/resilient they'll be

Shes got a new tv. Bought her a new handbag and all that, she forgets about the car for a few months and then yell again.
Its also my mums boyfriend. He used to be a honda boy back in the days. He had a candy orange CRX built as a show car.
Even to this day he still modifies cars (That lifted Hilux you see me post up)

So he of all people should understand what it feels like to modify a car..
Cant handle the static low life. Might raise it to 1-2 finger gap all around, Sway Bars & Get some fat and sticky tyres and go functional..

[darktmt]

What do you recommend?

Bendix

[Honda_FD]

Bendix

+1 For Bendix. I use them front and rear. Awesome brakes, Not too expensive

for my 2006 honda civic, can anyone confirm with me that this is correct.

Cheers. In addition is there any facebook pages for FD australia or FD brisbane or similar?would advise against getting generic pads,most likely you wont be satisfied

also could try BREMBO

[curtis265]

i got the bendix general CT on the lude, was very OEM feel.

[Honda_FD]

I just removed my air intake resonator on my FD1.
I can honestly say there isn't any difference whatsoever, except for the temperature gauge on the dash being a tad bit cooler than normal. But that's probably just the cold weather in Melbourne.

Anyone else done this?

I did it to my FD2 when i first got it. Nothing noticeable besides giving it a deeper tone.
Air intake kits dont give power whatsoever. Unless you tune the computer to run it.

Just gives you #YOLOSWAG induction noise.

Ohhh thats a video of my twinloop :)

But like I've said every time this topic comes up.
You wont hear any noticeable noise difference unless you do a resonator delete.
Thats me speaking through experience. Twinloop barely made a difference.
Got the Varex and thought I would be #YOLOSWAG showoff with my new muffler.
Started it and sounded almost the same as the twinloop which was depressing cause i got my hopes up lol.

@Darktmt
Ask this guy.

He has the exact same Varex as me for $200. I paid $500 for mine..
We can be twinsiesssssss :love:
Love the varex. Being able to close it at night is very helpful. Especially when i have to wake up at 5am for work.
Doesnt annoy the neighbors.

My cars ALOT louder now. That was just 1 resonator delete. I have a unsilenced B-Pipe now.

I did that to my rear lights. Looks mad. People say you shouldnt because
the heat of the lights makes the plastic expand and if i have tint it wont expand and can crack.

I've had the tinted tail lights for little over 1 year and no cracks...

Try and find out the heat specifications for the tint, then get a thermal temperature gun (or anything temperature measuring equipment) and measure the heat on the headlights after having them on for say 15 - 20 minutes to get the right idea of what the operating temperature will be to compare to the tint.

Keep in mind that tint is on cars that sit out in the sun almost all day without any issues which can hit some excruciating temperatures, but the only difference will be is that the tint will be on the outside of your headlights.

Thats what I was thinking. My tail lights are still one piece. No dramas.
I only tinted the brake lights. Was gunna do the whole thing but Didnt like the chrome parts
being tinted

Stock Tail lights... Red like a baboons ass

dem tinted rears loo kgood

[SharkChu]

I think I've found my next mod...
Black housing headlights!

Anyone ever had problems resealing it after taking it apart?
Heard stories were it wasnt sealed properly and water got in..


I retrofitted HID projectors into my headlights a few months ago. When I was putting the headlight housing back together, I noticed the original sealant didn't seem adequate enough. So I purchased some new sealant and applied a thin lining across the whole edge, just to be 100% sure there are no gaps. So far so good, no water going in. =] I should have painted the chrome bits black like the picture, but I cbb. ahaha

and Jprak is right, I didn't notice it either, but the facelift FD I got, has a slight brown tint to the headlight (my mechanic was like, did you smoke your headlights too?)

AND

for rear lights, my mate's FD, he just sprayed "nightshade" over his rear lights. It's hella black, but surprisingly the red brake lights still are very visible. Some rule requirement about be able to see the rear lights from about 200m away, and he has no troubles from the police just yet.

[darktmt]

@Honda_FD
Yeah im keen for that exact muffler, but located in brisbane..

[Honda_FD]

@jPrak Lol Man... Why is yours so red?!
Looks weird as.. What type of film did you use?

@Sharkchu
I saw your journey when you posted it up.
I found a guy that would do my headlights for $250. Black housing looks cool.
Its different aswell. No one on OzHonda has done it before.

I originally wanted to do NightShade on my rears but decided to tint them so if I
were to get in trouble or anything I can just simply pull off the tint instead of buying
new tail lights.


@Honda_FD

Ohhh... Ask him if hes willing to send it to you?

On a side note. I put in the rear adjusting collars on my coilovers (Used to have nothing in the rears which is why i got so much low).
Wheels are still tucked but its not rim to guard anymore. Time to make it bit more functional. Stance is going..
No one does it anymore..

With that being said. Anyone selling some fat Sway bars? Preferably in Melbourne

Get the plastidip spray tint, then night shade over it.
Can peel it off if its too dark or you have issues with the 5-0.

Brake cleaner or those citrus based cleaning agents take night shade real easy & it will return back to stock. Tried many times.

Hey fellas, been doing abit more research on the PWJDM powerchamber intake that Im wanting to get. I found this DIY from the 8th Gen guys stateside.

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/diy-honda-civic-engine/179205-diy-pwjdm-powerchamber-intake.html

It pretty much raises a few issues:

1- I would require a Flashpro(ECU tune?) in conjuction with this intake. With reference to Stevil's Turboed R18 with a flashpro mentioned in another thread, would it be detremental or just plain unadvisable to run this whale penis intake without a flashpro? If so, is it advisable to run flashpro with it's cost and is it available in Aus at this current time? (as the thread was outdated).

2- Reccomended to have a small heatshield on the small section of hose to protect it from heatsoak from the radiator hose. Is this negligable?

3- Would the Oddyssey Battery which apparently has a lower ampage with a cold start, stop me from performing a jump start on it if I ever run it flat? Dunno if this question even makes sense,lol.

Im totally lost as the more I read, the more Im over my head with expertise.

Might go look up the Gruppe M intake if the PWJDM whale penis has alot more potential issues.

Easy question- Im getting getting new wheels and having a chat with my tyre guy. Asking whats the tyre load rating on my car with 18". But just me or does our tyre placard not have anything more than our stock 17" rim specs? Im referring to the placard on our drivers side door frame, if there is another placard I might have missed?

[lolmclol]

Inb4 CEL issues thread

[RenzokukenJ]

Wut

Intake is just an intake, no need for flashpro, no need for heat shield, and Wot do you have oddysey battery? Jump starting won't effect it anyway.

Intake won't give you massively huge Omg gains, so no point needing to do anything except install and enjoy loud ivtecs

If you need a hand just ask in watapps brah

said who? What are you trying to do? Make power or sound? the latter will be more successful. You are not going to make any appreciable power in a hurry while staying NA. Take a look at xenonkuraz's tuning adventure.

Also with regard to the ECU, pick an ECU that someone can tune, not by what the internet says is good.


2- Reccomended to have a small heatshield on the small section of hose to protect it from heatsoak from the radiator hose. Is this negligable?
any headshielding is good. especially with a whale penis breathing in hot air all day

3- Would the Oddyssey Battery which apparently has a lower ampage with a cold start, stop me from performing a jump start on it if I ever run it flat? Dunno if this question even makes sense,lol.
No, a jump start is what you do when the battery doesn't have enough energy to start the car... so you'll be more likely to need a jump.

well of course not - the car only ever came with 17's so it won't talk about 18s. Here is some info about what the tyre ratings mean (http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html#loads). You're best off getting the same... but generally most tyres are made for the commo/falcons in mind so you'll be right in a light car like the civic

If you want cheap and pretty decent tyres, take a look the achilles ATR sport tyres - the guys at SVS do a pretty good deal there.

Fuark, I did a nub mistake. Someone just pointed out that the PWJDM intakedoesnt fit my FD2. As I thought the USDM SI has a K20Z3 where I have a K202. FML.

BRB, going to the corner of shame and start looking at other intake options.

BTW, anyone got an answer for my tyre load capacity question?

Gruppe M Won't even fit on the k20s, need to mod. Someone did it here on ozhonda. I say not worth it. Just stick to an INJEN

my tyre guy was like, "Doesnt look like the Australian Design Placard. Have a second look maybe?" Dont remember seeing any other placard. Just thought I'd ask you guys.

I'm still devo about the air intake, cant believe I wasted so much friggin time researching the install of that frigging thing w/o actually double checking the difference between a k20Z2 and K20Z3.

Injen CAI won't fit K20Z2's without a RBC mainfold. I have a Simota Carbon Charger Intake, it looks good, but doesn't really have that nice intake sound. I've been thinking about getting K&N Typhoon Intake for the 2012 Civics with K24 engine. The throttle body seems very similar to the K20Z2, but not sure if I want to risk $300 just to see if it'll fit.

[Harricade]

Can't do Injen w/o an RBC intake manifold.

So, Im left with Simota. is this what Im looking for? I cant find any other places that sell them.

i think you should walk into an exhaust shop and get them to mandrel bend you a custom one. Will cost you maybe 1.5hrs shop time.

@Harricade I dont see why it wouldnt it. It wont be a direct bolt on but with a little bit of mucking around
you might be able to pull it off. I have K&N Typhoon kit which was designed for the USDM Si Civics and I got that to fit.

Take a gamble and do it :)

Cars still low. Back wheels are still tucked Just need an alignment since i touched the suspension and it therows my toe out.
Those tegiwas arent all that good though. They're not that strong. you have to constantly check them cause they can come loose.

Me too bro. Might jsut buy one off ebay for $130

nice, what your wheel specs?

17x8.5+30
17x9.5+38

Fronts are perfect, Flush with a bit of poke. Back Has poke but would be nicer if i had lower offset

[Stevil]

Been testing rims in the last 24 hrs and I'm thinking of going upto 17x9.5 all round with 255s upfront and 235s in the rear, 265s are also on the short list for the front. B-)

In my opinion, I'd go with the mugen/mugen RR side skirts and rear lip, it'll blend in better and set the car off perfectly, the thing with the modulo lips is that they curve out, which I couldn't see it blending in with the front lip particularly well.

Hey guys just wondering if any of yous have a front sway bar on your FD and if so how much of a difference it is on the handling?

[curtis265]

why would you install a front one? Do you like understeer?

[Honda_FD]

why would you install a front one? Do you like understeer?

You only need to upgrade rears?
Lol I've been looking into getting front and rears...


@jPrak

Do it!

[SharkChu]

Lol I've been looking into getting front and rears...



Stock
FSB: 24mm (hollow I believe)
RSB: 11mm (hollow)

Aftermarket
FSB: Ultra-racing 25mm (think it's hollow as well) or. Whiteline 27mm .... so not much of a difference from stock
RSB: UR has 16mm/19mm solid bar, can go upto like 26mm (whiteline) from memory.

So I think what curtis is saying, RSB is the one you get the most benefit from. A FSB is more of a luxury.

And from experience, I got the UR RSB 19mm, and the difference was light and day.

Hope this helps someone.
