What's the best bang for buck stereo mod? I just want more bass really and am a noob at ICE. (But meth I'm an expert)

Planning on keeping the OEM Headunit?
If so, And you want more bass then get a Amp + Sub.
Since out headunit does not have output RCAs you will need a low level converter.
Some amps have them built in, Making life alot easier but you can just pick up a branded one for about $100

If you plan on changing the headunit then wait and do it all at once. Saves money and time

Yeah, gonna keep the head unit. Is that a big job to fit an aftermarket one anyway?

Amp and sub sounds good. I don't want ear melting bass... Just some more oomph. Would a head unit change give me that much extra bass with the stock speakers??

I remember when I first joined here there was a stereo cheat where you held down/pushed certain and it made the stock system bump more. Anyone remember what it was??? Cause since then I've had the battery replaced and doesn't that reset all settings?

So many questions. Sozzy. Lol

Changing the headunit alone without a sub will not make the stock speakers pump out more bass.
You might get a bit better sound quality but not more bass. If you're not a massive basshead then I would recommend something around the 600w RAMs range.
Most amps have a Sub control now anyways. You can adjust the bass like the volume knob

If you buy an OEM fascia kit, it's a pretty straight forward job to switch the head unit around - a couple of hours, tops. eBay kits are luck of the draw. Some of them fit well, some of them don't.
Upgrading the head unit will give you an overall cleaner signal and delivery of sound. Bass will sound a lot better, and you'll be able to adjust more bass settings. For example, on my stock unit, I had bass turned up to +4, volume on 8 to 12, and when I played a bassy track like Markus Schulz - Love Rain Down, I could hear the speakers popping and bass sounding like balls.
I replaced it with a $200 head unit and the output was so much better at similar volumes. There were more bass customisations and it allowed me to really enjoy my music more.
In saying that though, if you turn it up really really loud (equivalent to volume 15-20 on stock), it's going to struggle, and that's when you'll need a sub.

If you're only out to achieve louder bass, but not cleaner bass, go for the sub.
Otherwise, upgraded head unit is best bang for buck as it improves overall sound quality.

Use a jack to hold the disk and lift it so you can bolt it

Think that's what I did I think

Stevil

Yep CV shift has popped out, if you put weight on it ?? Then you may have put a burr on the end of the shaft and you will find it almost impossible to get back in ! CV will need to be removed and serviced, if you didn't put weight on the wheel then get somebody like a mobile mechanic to drop in an fiddle with it, they should be able to get it back in.

Yeah it'll range from $80 - $200 depending on quality.
JB Hi Fi have 30% off car audio until Sunday so it's a good opportunity to pick something up. If you change your mind, just return it later :P

If you're working on a budget, start with the head unit first and if you're still not satisfied, update the speakers to something that'll push out more air/more bass.
I haven't opened up my door trim to check our speakers, but on my girlfriend's GD1 Jazz, the stock speakers were as fragile as a piece of paper and the quality reflected that, so there was an urgency to replace them.

threesix
15-05-2014, 10:27 AM
thats what i was thinking. although the hybi comes with different seat and all the fruit im sure the speakers are they same doo doo paper thin speakers.

gonna hunt for a new head unit first for sure.

thanks again dude!!!

darktmt good result !! what I described is actually what I did to my car, yep I popped the CV spline out and thought Id whack the wheel back on and massage it back into place !! not very smart I burred it badly and had to get it fixed ! lol best bet is to get another jack n support the hub/brakes so it wont pop out.

If I were to sell it. I'd probably let it go for about $120. Only because the mounting points have be broken off.
So the spoiler will need to be glued down instead of screwed into the boot lid. Nothing major.
Light scratch in the middle because the boot was up at the wrecker and idiots scratched it.
Will sand out. Which is okay because you will be painting it anyways

Those ebay spoilers dont look as good as the oem in my opinion.
They're really skinny. Looks weird.

The spoilers you want. Modulo in America has them. They're called Modulo Type R

And the towbar will get pulled off on friday so its a wee bit quicker on the track next monday, runnng 6 deg of camber in the rear now and 4 deg in the front, torque steer is loads of fun ! NOT and new 245/40/17 rubber gets debuted on Monday, could probably run 255's up front but Id rather not with only 8.5 rims, really need some 9.5 s lol.

Yeah man ahead of the curve !! I reckon those rims will be all the rage in 5 or 6 years LOL

iou yeah its effin huge, I'd been thinkin about a Wing for quite a while as I've almost run out of things to upgrade that would make the car quicker at the track, really only have shit like spherical bearings, front splitter and better positioning of the air intake to go. As I get a car allowance for the car and leases costs are down to $270/mth theres a little bit of play money every month for silly purchases like this wing, which by the way is 4 years old, at 100kmh it feels like there is 2 chicks in the boot.

and Im on the lookout for a white FD boot as I dont want to daily the wing, so if anybody knows of a front ended white 1 lt me know. here another angle for ya

Yep, it's quite big for a daily driving car. It will look more perfect if you have bodykit on. You're gonna track your car so what will be your next upgrade? Sway bars, brake kit, coilover......???

Invest in a bodykit!
It'll look tough as with a full mugen RR or full Type R + Js Racing lip!
Get a carbon boot and Carbon Mugen Hood aswell!

You're the only here going full functional. Show us Carpark Whores how its done!

Correct. Its a 2007 V-Limited STI Lip.
I was originally going to put it on my car but I couldnt find one. Now they have heaps on ebay lol.
Not sure if it will suit your bumper though.

yeah it might not suit my pre face lift :(
I really like the mugen bumper but im afraid i might get pulled up for it as it quite lower than 100mm
and being on springs would cost to much to clear defect as exhaust is lower than 100mm too, without the lip the car doesnt look that low, i went through two booze bus stops with hwy patrol cars there and they said nothing about wheels or ride height

how it looks no until i get the lip colour and grille colour matched

And if guy are thinking of upgrading your lights. I really recommend these HIDs from ebay. 6000k with the ballast connected to the bulb.

The bonnets were from eBay. And the left side is adjusted higher than the right so it won't blind oncoming traffic. Install would just be the same as a normal bulb install. Plug and play, no cutting needed.

welcome, dude :)
RR kit will fit fine. I got my Mugen kit done from them back in Nov 2013 (opted for a subtle look) and they did a pretty good job (not perfect), but pretty good considering the kit isn't OEM. They're good with communications, too.
I've seen a couple of RR kits in Melb and they look pretty sweet!
The quotes I got from them back in Nov were:

Civic FD Mugen RR Kit (Front lip, side skirt, and rear lip with LED) - $1000
Civic FD Mugen kit (Front lip, side skirt, and rear lip) - $600
Currently (Nov 2013) we only have the Mugen style wing in stock - $250

We do offer painting and fitting:
Mugen RR kit - $900
Mugen kit - $600
Wing - $200

Come to the Honda Network meet (https://www.facebook.com/events/233891376810587/?fref=ts) on Monday (public hol) - our FDs + a 9th Gen will be on display. Come say hi :)

Mars Performance in Melbourne sells them as singles. They do shipping aswell.
By the time you buy Facelift front and Mugen front lip. You will be looking ATLEAST $400 - $500 fitted and painted.
Might aswell save a little more and get whole kit.

Only good thing about the Mugen lip is that it is plastic. If you plan on slamming your FD
in the future. Make sure your kit is plastic. Fiberglass shatters on impact. Were plastic is more flexible and doesnt shatter.

If you want singles then Mars. If you're getting a full kit then go local. Save money instead of paying for shipping.

LOL nah when I was talking JDMyard, I was talking about Type R kits. hahaha but all good.

I don't mind any kit at all lol as long as it fits and cheap and convenient to buy (hate shipping). Where to get RR kits in Sydney? I only know JDMyard with Type R kit. That's only kit in Sydney that I know of

Lol Their page setup looks the same.

OTR is good. Service is good. They have a bit of hate towards hondas when I go to their shop.
Because I dont have a high horsepower Evo or Subaru like them they talk down on me.

Other than that. They're really good. Cheapest in Melbourne.
Just their attitude

Yeah I got the same attitude, too lol. I was enquiring about an exhaust system from that and in a nutshell, they're like, "FDs are slow so you shouldn't bother doing performance mods to it - just do cosmetic". He even went as far to say the FD2 was slower than the FD1 because it was heavier.
I mean, it's practical advice and at least they're not out there to rip you off, but it was kinda lol.

Haha, you are right. Of course Evos are better than FDs in terms of performance when they are moded, but for daily driving FDs are good enough. So that's why i dont spend much money on performance mods for my FD. In my opinion, you can spend on turbo charge, air intake,........just for better feeling but not for racing with Evo which is has the same mod. Even, with a turbo FD, i dont know whether they can beat a mazda mp25 or not. How do you think guys?

I thought mp25 is about the same as FD2. If youre driving a FD1, there is not much in terms of performance mods that you can do on a R18. But FD2, I think there is more potential. LOL i'm not sure, just my thought from what I know. But yeah I'm sure a turbo FD2 can chop a mp25 no problem. But I would never spend money on turbo coz that shit is fuel hungry as fk. Maybe CAI

I drive manual so my acceleration is always slower than others ahahaha unless I hit vtec but I feel bad for my petrol tank LOL

Exhaust and Intakes are the main performance mods people do to their FDs not days.
I've done Exhaust, Intake and the rest is on handling and cosmetic.

When I race against the new V8 Holdens/Fords. They take me on straights but around corners and round abouts
I gain on them and pretty much eatting their rear bumpers. Thats on cheap china tyres.
Going for a wheel alignment soon to add more camber to the front for better grip around corners.

With alignment and good tyres I could easily past them.

FDs arent as bad as people think they are. Especially for us kids that on their P plates.
The only people that insults FDs are kids with rich parents that buys them any car they want.
Saw a kid the other day with a built DC5R. Still had his High School uniform on.

These civics have heaps of potential if you know how to drive them right, could potentially keep up/beat a lot of cars if you know what youre doing.

Most of these 'kids' dont know what theyre doing so makes it easier i guess

I've been waiting for Stevil to kick in, 'yo, but he's beaten Evos and Rex's in his FD. I think there are videos on youtube of it.

The biggest performance gains for an FD that I've heard of are turbo/supercharger which looked like it was gonna be $6-$10K all up for an extra 10-20kw? and an FD in Singapore pulling an extra ~20kw on an eManage ultimate ECU, ($2000 AUD?). My theory behind the gains is that Singapore have better fuel quality than Australia and hence, it can extract more power.

Agreed.
My first car was a hand me down 1988 Pulsar sedan. I loved it to bits. So much fun to drive. I wish my parents didn't have to get rid of it. Other international kids in uni were driving BMW M3's, AMG's, and whatnot. I still felt like a boss in my Pulsar lol.
I've had my FD for 7 years. It's the first-ish car I bought with my own money. It would be heart wrenching to part with it T__T

Tbh, I hardly see any modded civics around Fairfield, (I live around the area) .

I have not ONCE seen jpraks civic on the road =[ like whattttttt.

Plenty of FDs with just HID "upgrades" at the most I've seen here.

If you head east to around hurstville/kogarah area, that's where most of the modded FDs are about! Don't think they're on ozhonda though =[
