They do heaps of brands. The dont stock much parts. They order them as you request.
Are you going Honda Network? Never seen you on OzHonda before.
Pictures of your FD?

Heya!:wave: I was semi-active on here during 2009-2011. Haven't really touched my car in a long time as I was thinking about moving on but I think I might stick with the Civic for a while longer.

Here is a picture of my car taken many years ago... nothing major has changed. I am considering getting back into it, interested in simple mods like coilovers, exhaust and intake but I'm pretty out of the loop with whats to offer these days in terms of brands. I might give OTR a visit. You guys have any suggestions?

OTR have heaps of exhausts, but he didn't bother listing them for me and my Civic lol.
Mars has some good cosmetic stuff, but I've heard customer service is quite poor.

did that grille have a honda badge on it?

Nope. The mugen one, with just the grille and mesh.

Can't find the mesh... LOL.

BTW. CAR STICKERS... what are peoples thoughts?

I was thinking this, cause I like what they represent. But what else is okay? Without going overboard.

Looks tough as bro!
NeedVtec has a K&N Typhoon kit for sale if you're interested. Cheap as.
Located in Melbourne

As of exhausts. Brands doesnt matter too much. As long as you dont get a cheap fart cannon.
I have a Varex with a unsilenced B pipe. I like it. Not too loud and doesnt drone much.

You thinking of going Honda Network on Monday?

So driving down the motorway, a rock flies into windscreen. Leaving 2 dots worth of a chip on the driver side. It's not a full crack, but def the "top" layer of the windscreen is gone, if that makes sense.

What possible options are there to get it fixed/filled? It's killing me :(

LetsDuDiss

06-06-2014, 10:25 AM

Call Competitive Windscreen or Novus (can't remember LOL google), chips are cheap to fix man, maybe 100 max. At least your windscreen didn't get smashed by some punk kids like mine. FYI, don't call O'Briens, fking rip-off 100% LOL.

From memory, they drill in the glass to get rid of the cracked material and did some sort of filling, can't really remember don't take my words for it. But you should definitely get a pro to fix it for you. That's not something you can DIY lol

Hey guys,
For the Honda Network, lets meet up at Coles Rooftop Carpark at Parkmore Shopping Centre at 10:45AM? Google Maps co-ordinates (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Coles+Parkmore/@-37.9922408,145.1721138,120m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x6ad6137251d532c5:0x55f0c58831a7c c3c!4m6!1m3!3m2!1s0x0:0xf0456760532d250!2sParkmore +Shopping+Centre!3m1!1s0x0:0x7fe24a19520a6f2e)

I know it sounds a bit early since it's only 5-10 minutes away from Sleeping Performance, but based on the email received:
"If you would like to park among any friends, please come together so we can park you together. All entrants are required to be at the gates by 11:30am to be placed in designated parking spots."
I figured it might be easier if we got there a tad bit earlier.

Dan, Honda_FD, - I've PMed you my mobile number in case you need/want (;)) to contact me.

Possibly a weak battery? When was the last time you changed it? Do you have something like a sub or amp hooked up in a dodged way that's draining the battery?

Might be spark plugs? You're meant to change them every 100,000KM.

Have anyone here got the Type R bodykit from jdmyard? I wonder if the rear bar will fit my fd2. The fd2 has 2 outlets which I think is too big for the rear bar. Anyone has experience? How much would it cost to change the exhaust outlet so that it fits the profile on the type R kit rear bar?

Mate bought his kit from jdmyard, crazily overpriced though.. anyhow, the only problem from memory was that the front bar requires you to trim either the bar itself, or reinforcement bar on the front to fit. I believe the rear was fine, he was using an aftermarket exhaust much bigger than stock, so I assume it's fine.

Um.. car has only done about 60k, haven't changed it, I do have factory bass speakers out rear w/ a small amp, plus.. a headunit, etc. maybe causing more strain on the battery? Car as been fine since that day.. maybe I can wait it out..

What's a decent battery replacement? Been researching, always mixed results.

Lol why overpriced? I can't find a cheaper kit. Do you know any where I can get one?

So the front bar doesn't fit well, is that what youre saying? Is your mate's stock exhaust the same as the chrome one on fd2?

Also do you lower your car with springs or coilovers? Heard springs blow your shocks. Any ideas? I'm thinking of getting mugen RR kit since it looks lower than type R kit. Would the RR kit look okay on stock heights?

Probably not your amp, but you should replace your battery every 4 years. If there's a lot of corrosion around it, it's probably a sign to change it and clean it off with a towel in the meantime.

He had an xforce aftermarket exhaust. I'm sure stock will be fine. It seems the type R kit has gone down in price, pretty sure they were like 1.5k a year or 2 ago I forget. Reason why I go for Mugen lip or Mugen RR, is that Type R is too similar to stock, need to be more unique vs. the heaps of stock sedans driving around. If you look at my build thread, that's on stock height. Tbh, although it looks better lowered, many people ask me if my car is lowered.. same as my other buddy who has a RR kit, seems to make the car look lower.

And.. coils always. From what I've been told. I'm staying stock for now, too many dips around my place (e.g. my drive way) .

I bought my type R kit from jdmyard for 950 posted to melb at the end of year sale.
For the front you just need to cut off a bit off each side of the reinforcement bar to fit it. like 2-3cm i think
and for the rear, its best to get an aftermarket exhaust thats single tip. If you cant afford to do that now, you can just go to an exhaust shop and ask them to cut the inner tip off and weld the hole it so it becomes a single tip.
That option would cost like 30 bucks or less

LetsDuDiss

11-06-2014, 02:31 PM

So OTR just replied with this.

Forgot to mention, in order to fit the Mugen
RR front bumper bar, your stock front bumper support beam will have to be
remove due to it's different front bumper

Any ideas?

Mugen full lip kit from OTR for $550 delivered.
Mugen RR full kit plus wing $950 delivered from melb. (btw, not sure why OTR had to remove the front bar, my RR was straight bolt on, no problems.)

it was awesome hanging out with you guys on Monday :)
A couple more FDs rocked up later in the day.
Really love the wheels, Chris!
And I want your exhaust, Honda_FD! Swap you for my Throttle Controller? lol. Btw, did you end up finding a toilet?

Yeah I saw them on the way out. That Silver/Blue on with Orange rims. He goes to Melbourne Car meets alot.
The other Silver/Blue with the black Enkie RPF is for sale atm. Hes bought some stuff off me about a year ago. Nice guy

You should hear my car when I give it a beating. Loud as. I love it.
Every now and then it'll backfire a give out a massive bang. Scares people sometimes. Their reaction is funny as.
Did it once in the city, Everyone shit themselves like as if I was doing a drive-by shooting or something haha

Dude it sounds freaking awesome, those crackles were fkn awesome haha

That moment at the lights when we realised it was double demerits that day though

The exhaust never gets old. Do your one! Cruise it with closed and open it up on tunnels or when you wanna hoon.
Atleast you have something shiny in the back.

Lol after you told me it was double points it was smooth sail all the way home... Until you did that awesome Initial D entrance onto the free way. Made everyone shit their pants in the silver car lol!

I just captured some more unique looking cars (and our FDs :)) during the event.

Hey guys, do you know where I can get a pair of red Honda badges for my FD2 06? Saw some one ebay but not sure if they would fit and I would rather pick up in person LOL

I'm considering going with mugen lips option (broke LOL and SharkChu :P). Thinking of putting this rubber lip under my front lip.

Like this (kinda like a fake V-lip LOL)

I wanna see your Throttle Control in Sports mode.
I wanna see if you can take off from a complete stop and whether I should get one or not

I've been wanting to do the rubber lip on my girlfriend's Jazz. They're pretty easy to do yeah?
Haha yeah sounds good :) Lemme know when you guys go.
I have my throttle controller on Sports Mode 5 (SP5) everyday. I don't think I can go back to normal :P
If we meet up again, I'll install it in your car then you can take it for a ride with Sports Mode on and feel the difference in response.

D1 Spec. More or less the same as the Pivot 3 Drive (even looks the same). One's made from Taiwan, the other from Japan.

Fairly easy. It has double sided tape on it already.
Clean surface and use about 4 screws to hold it up properly. Might even stay with tape only.
I did tape only and lasted for about 6 months. But thats because my car is low and I drag it around alot. Should be fine on stock car.

Sell it to me! I'll pay full price!

Any of you guys looked into getting front bumper canards?
I really like the look of them, but conscious of drilling holes into my bumper and any potential aerodynamic drawbacks. I feel like they need to be coupled with a lip diffuser, too, for dat aesthetic awesomeness.
Thoughts, guys?

Quite hard for your shocks to blow if it's only a mild drop. If it's >2inches, even then would take a while for the shocks to blow

Hi guys,

Does lowered springs with stock shocks make the civic handles better or worse ? Will the ride be really uncomfortable if im running 215/45/17 tyres ? Is Eibach pro better than King springs ?

Im running 215/45/17 with king springs w/ stock shocks and the ride is quite bouncy, its not stiff but yes less comfortable than stock, handles maybe slightly better

I always thought coilovers were more uncomfortable.

it should handle better (lower centre of gravity), but quantifying it will be each to their own

they are uncomfortable but you're paying for the stiffness when taking corners and etc.

i got cusco shocks on the rear on max stiff. hurts so much :(

Haha, that's the feeling we all have when we upgrade our wheels for a better looking. I want to be on soft level but it hits my rear guard so i have to put on stiff one. You will be uncomfortable not because of they are on soft or stiff, just because of you have to check every pothole on the road to make sure it doesn't hurt your coilover ;-) how do you feel when you've just bought a new set of coilover and after a few months it's leaking or knocking due to the road's conditions.

If you drive properly and avoid potholes should be fine. I had my Eibach Pro Series springs for about 1 year and
my shocks are fine.

I can't remember the brand name, but there's a company in Australia that do gloss black plasti so I'll be giving that a shot. I think the American company only does matte.

Hey nedkerry,

I painted the rims white my self. I didnt do a clear coat which i should have, the finish has some texture which makes it hard to clean. Its painted with 3$ paint from bunnings. (http://www.bunnings.com.au/fiddly-bits-250g-gloss-white-spray-paint_p1580053) and i used some left over white engine paint from autobarn, but that costs 15-20$ a can. I used around one can per rim.

When i sprayed the rims blue i did 2 heavy coats of clear and the finish is really smooth all round, dirt just wipes clean

And about the bumper, on first glance it looked like the same colour as the car lol

I've said this so man times lol Wheen someone asks me for exhaust advice.
You have the same Varex as mine. You dont necessarily have to remove the resonator/s
You can change it to a highflow muffler if you rally dont want it loud. Unsilenced B-Pipes are cheap these days
I know a guy that does it for $90 fitted for a 2". But hes in Melbourne. Im sure prices wouldnt be too much of a difference around Australia.
But if you're scared of being too loud and what not. Dont be.. Thats the advantage of having a Varex. You can open and close it.
And honestly.. FDs sounds nice without resonators. I love my exhaust. @DAN, @NeedVtec & @NedKerry can vouch for me aswell.
They have heard my car up close and personal and they like it.

This was when I had 1 Resonator removed. I have all removed now. Sounds the same but alot louder.

I like your wheels :)

For 'better' sound, listen to a few exhausts so you know what you want. 'Better' for me is a more throaty sound but not that much louder than stock. 'Better' for a couple of my mates is just having it louder.

On top of removing the resonator, you could either straight pipe it, get bigger pipes (I think it's 2 inch stock so go up another 0.25 inch) and leaving the resonator.

I'm going for bigger pipes and muffler, and a less quiet resonator ~$650.

Since you have a Varex, removing your resonator shouldn't be much of a problem. Just adjust the butterfly valve accordingly.

I didnt use a primer which i should have. The bond was good cause i sanded the wheels done prior. I only had the white on for like a month lol so not sure how good the paint is. If you look on my intro thread link (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?178848-Chris-FD2&p=3836145#post3836145) the stock wheels were sprayed white with engine paint from autobarn. The evos where done with the bunnings paint and no clear. I wanted the matte look but its hard to keep clean. Doing heavy clear coats makes it easier to wash cause its a smooth finish. I am pretty noob at painting so maybe if you sand down, get a good primer, sand the primer with a high grit and then paint with no clear it might be a smooth finish, not sure.

3) with your wheels spec at the moment do you have any issues with scrubbing, hitting your guards?
4) are you on natural camber?

16-06-2014, 10:06 PM

@IOU
1) how low is your car at the moment, any difficulties for daily driving with that height?
At the moment. My lowest point is about 50mm (5cm) off the ground. Not 100% sure as I hav no proper way to measure it
But definitely under the legal limit.
The main problem I have driving at this height is that my frame/chassis always hits the ground on bumps. Especially the front K Frame.
FDs has a really low frame for some reason. Speedhumps are the worst. Always have to slow down and hold up traffic.
But you will get used to it and you'll learn how to avoid them. Your reflexes improves alot and you judgement will be better.
I rarely hit the ground now that I have gotten useed to the car. I literally know every potholes and big Bumps/Dips on the road.
and which road I can take and which road to avoid.
Also, The Axleback pipe for the muffler will touch the Lower Control Arm if I have someone in the rear seat. No passenger is ok though.

2) what spec are your wheels now?

F: 17x8.5+30 - 215/40
R:17x9.5+38 - 215/45
Planning on getting something similar size but lower offset
Getting an alignment soon to adjust my front camber. Thinking about going -1 degrees.
Gives little more clearance when turning and when the car leans it will allow me to get extra grip
I need to improve the cars handling to keep up with DAN on our "Cruise" down the mountain

3) with your wheels spec at the moment do you have any issues with scrubbing, hitting your guards?

My front guards have bent itself giving me a little extra clearance but looks ugly lol
Nothing Major in the rear unless you plan on doing heavy cornering or have people in the back seat.
This was before I got my guards rolled. No problems at all now that they are rolled.

4) are you on natural camber?

Natural at the moment. Planning on getting Camber arms as I want to get wider wheels

5) do you have to do any fender jobs?

Recently got Athid to Roll/Lip my guards. Did an awesome job. Highly recommended!
Lipped Guards looks awesome aswell.
But even before I got it rolled, car was still drive able. No major scrubbing or anything.

which garage have you done for your car? My car if i want it to be lowered I have to get camber arms, can't be on natural camber.
can we lower the front only or we have to lower front and rear at the same time

Depends what I need to do. Mechanical Work I go to my friend Dai in Brabrook. He has a garage called C Tune.
Suspension work I go to Tyre Power North Melbourne.

Also, Depends how much you want to lower your car. If you want it slammed like mine then definitely need Camber arms.
Just a mild drop to get rid of the wheel gap then I dont think you will need it.
You can lower any side you want as long as you have adjustable Coilovers or bags. If you are doing springs then I recommend all 4 at once.
But as if lower front only. You like heads down ass up?

I forgot to mention before. I had to just the plastic liner covering the fuel line.
And got my bumper tabs relocated.
Thanks Threesix for reminding me

@LetsDuDiss Front tyres are 215/40 on an 8.5" were as of my rears are 215/45. So rears have more profile. Not much difference with 45 and 40 but in person theres a noticeable difference. It looks flat but my tyres are always at 36-38psi. I check it once a week when I fill up petrol. Make sure that shit doesnt come off when driving lol. The struggles with stretched tyres

- On a side note. Have you guys read this article?
Maybe we can drive the New Civic Turbo legally?

HKS, Neo Maxx, BC, lol, what else you want to change to?

HKS - Too soft for my liking. Didnt go low enough because the design of those coilovers are different.
So they dont go as low as coilovers made now days. Those were street coilovers designed for a mild drop and spring rates were 4:4

NeoMax - They were actually really good coilovers. But once again. They dont go as low as I would like.
I asked OTR for coilovers designed to go really low and the recommended me these NeoMax.
I asked if they go as low as BC because I originally asked for BC and they said Yes. Got them installed and it didnt go low.
I told them I wanted a refund or get store credit and get BC Coilovers and they said No. Made me spend $1,300 on coilovers
THEY recommended and they screwed me over.

BC BR - Honestly. I love these coilovers. Nothing wrong with them. They do get a bit noisy from time to time but having the radio on.
You wont hear a thing. Best coilovers I got out of the three. Wish I got them first and save all that time and headache.
But, Got to learn somehow. Which is why I do my best to help everyone here and get their build right the first time.

I think they charge roughly $200 or $220 without wheel alignment. Which is average price.

The front will definitely go lower. Keep in mind that our CV Boot is very close to our suspension. Mine popped and spat grease everywhere.

Rears, If i remember right it will go down to 1 finger gap on 17" wheels. There are ways to make it go down alot lower but you may sacrifice comfort and being able to have passengers in the back lol

Don't plastidip them. Its way more expensive then paint, the finish is not that great, in order for it to peel easily you need to do 2-3 heavy coats which means around 3-4 cans.

I did two coats on the face, after they dried for some time, i sprayed in 10 degree weather so dry time will vary. For the inside i just used a mild scuffing pad prior to rough it up a little(in the prep stage, before any paint), no primer though. Then I stood the wheel up and did a light coat on the inside, let it dry, then did a heavy coat to cover everything not worrying about runs in the paint just coverage, and then finished the face with a few more coats.

I had to spray the inside since the hub of the wheel is really big and would look bad if not painted completely from behind

I booked him a month in advanced for lightweight pulley installs, and on the day before the appointment, I called him up to double confirm, and he tells me he can't do it because he's going to Winton. I didn't appreciate the lack of communication and notice. Needless to say, I didn't bother booking in another time.

More in these lightweight pulleys? Gains? Cost? Etc

That's rude and extremely unprofessional.

Hope you received a better level of service where you ended up.

sleeping in performance

Quick question: is the k20 from the type r's a straight swap into the fd2 sport? Thinking of my options and friend suggested this option

pretty sure it's the same 'shape' in regards to axle and mounting locations

Basically a throttle controller tells the ECU you're pressing the accelerator harder or softer than you are.

E.g. you could be pushing it down 20%, but it will tell the ecu you're pushing it down 50% etc.

Installation is relatively easy as well.

Yeah, What lolmclol said. I dont have one. Have heard good feedback from people that has them installed in their cars (IOU & NedKerry)
Might invest in one in the near future.

Go invest in a catback, somehow mine eliminated the throttle lag comparing to my friend who has a exhaust axle back on his.....

Oh, thanks. So does it get rid of the lag? So my accelerator pedal is more sensitive? I just want to get rid of the lag and keep everything the same. Is that possible?

LOL its cheap. Only $150 max

You will never get 'Rid' of the throttle lag. You can improve response but it will always be there.
Do you have a SRI? Alot of the shitty SRI makes it lag even more. My K&N Typhoon kit made it worse lol.

Not sure if throttle response or new found swagzorst (-;

Hey chrischris and honda_FD, can you give me some info about how a throttle controller helps FD2? Mine has a lag as I rev, not sure if this is the same as yours though.

Is installing it hard? LOL Cheers

As another ozmember said :"The car feels more lively and dollar for dollar this is a must have device.".
Thats all i want to say about my 3 drive pivot throttle controller as well. 5 mins to install and then have fun. Specially with Honda_FD it is more worthy when he already has the exhaust system ;-) hahaha

Just re-iterating what everyone has already said, you technically will never remove the lag, but you'll improve the response. But for your everyday driving, you'll notice a significant difference in the way the car feels.
Yes, it essentially remaps the throttle and you can adjust to make it more or less sensitive. It's a 5 minute job to install.
Don't bother with a CAI or SRI if your aim is to improve response - I did the ghetto CAI and despite the engine running slightly cooler, it lags a little more. I have to fit the resonator back on.

The exhaust and lightweight pulley kit are the last "performance" mods I'm doing so I'm hoping that will yield some good results for acceleration and response.
