Hello peeps,

New to the forum, man this is a long thread!

I really like the Mugen BK. Can i get details on where i should try to get this including fitting? I know there is a place in Clayton, Melbourne that might have them for sale but i would like to know of a reliable fitter to fit and paint it for me. PM me.

BTW, i just got a new Civic Sport. Stoked! :cool: :thumbsup:

[howy]

I probably won't get them coz some of the guys here said that the rims will still look small on the civic.

But you can get them @ www.nengun.com, I think a trader here might be able to get them in for you (forgot who though). Just check the traders section and do search.

Clayton OTM has them. Any painter can paint and fit. Its just the kit you need to be worried about whether it will be good fitment or not

[akaiEG5]

cuongn: very nice wheels there i was actually considering a set as well!

Does any of you's know whether the fd2 civic type-r wheels the 18" ones are just a straight bolt-on to the Aus civic - vti - vti-l - sports model??? or are brackets or spacers required for these?

Also are the FD2 type-r buckets seats just go on the stock rails or need new rails?

[howy]

isnt 18inch big already, most guys out dere run on 17-18inch

Originally I was thinking of 17s because 18s would be an illegal size so it wouldn't be covered under insurance.

I think 18s would be alright if you're not fussed about the legalities.

Most aftermarket bucket seats require different rails unless they were made for a specific model, and being the JDM FD2R those rails would be different to any of the AUS civics.

That's just my guess though...

wheels : fit but the fitment slightly sit too deep inside (diff offset), overrall looks ok.
seat : stock rails can't, need those type-r rails

i got a oil temp, oil pressure and vacuum,

well these are the cheap one, not expensive.

[applio]

Looks good to me =)

Btw how do you hook up these gauges?

for put the wire from engine bay to inside are nightmare. coz space are very limited, but i managed to wire it without take off the whole dash.

and for where to adapt the oil pressure sender and temp unit was easy. but need to buy extra adapter.

and for the vacuum tube are also nightmare, coz hard to put the hands there.

ill take more photo later and post them up.

overall spend 4+ hrs

[applio]

sorry applio, but it just doesnt look good to me... :(

i might re-mount them later, been thinking with doing minimum damage to the dash, put them these i don't have to drew a hole on the dash.

might buy the aftermarket head unit face panel and re mount it

this is what i found on us

They sell Thailand made dash only. Better buy Japan made, better quality

well, i have to say first, I'm not accusing someone sell thai/TW 2din dash at ozhonda trader or ebay, but i just say my independent review after selling a few Honda Thai/TW 2din dash ($155) and JDM Honda dash ($185)
color : similiar but slightly different if compare side by side with JDM dash
quality : JDM 10/10, others 8/10
pearl/metallic : JDM obvious, other : none(solid)
brackets : JDM thick, other : thin

so with $xx diff. (155 vs 185) i highly recommend to get JDM ones for your full satisfaction.
($30 in a year, only about 8 cents per day).
hardly for buyer to know which JDM or not, only seller knew (unless you can compare side by side or been told by honest seller like me :D) and my hint say :
1. JDM parts NEVER provide screws (anyone got engine start button comes with screws ? anyone bought from me, JDM 2din dash with "made in japan' tag got the screws ?)
2. JDM dash comes with "HONDA PANEL CTR" words at the back
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/jasperdmx/din3.jpg
(anyone who bought JDM ones but no this engraved, do complain to me..lol)

and at last, these pics worth 1000 words :D

DMX: Are you organising that group buy? Can you just take my order and will send you the cash? Bluish Silver and shipping via sea is OK.

[rk 86 wa]

this question is more foor e210i and fallen angel:

im going to barbagellos, west australian track

however ive been wondering if you guys have run with stock brake pads on track before and how you found them?

atm looking to up pads but not sure if i am in definate need of changing them yet.

[ej20i]

im was runnin normal pads, they were fine for me...actually...it was pretty good...and im still the normal pads, and honda said they were still fine...so yeah

[TurBIce]

u used stock pads on my track day at wakie.
they were pretty good. but they wear pretty quickly.
even tho i am still using them on teh street. i have to press the pedal down more before it bites...

[ej20i]

o relly??thats wad every1 is complaining...but i serviced my car after that...they sed i stil have +- 80% left on the brakes...im thinking of getting new pads anywae..

[ej20i]

DMX, i want one...how much extra is with EMS??as im inpatient as u noe..hahehaha
i want one in black...VERY BLACK!!!hahaha
thnx bro

[danjoy25]

DMX: Same here if its not alot different in pricing, I would prefer EMS as well.

[dannybubu]

what are EMS??

[dmx]

EMS = express mail service - only 2-3 days.
if all of you want EMS, i really hope can give to you on 4 oct (i have a concert show that day..LOL), not sure how much.
ie. my v lip with EMS paid about US$100 and my roof spoiler by sea only US$20
may be about $20 on top each ??? not sure, need to find out.

[FallenAngel]

Brakes wen't too bad on the track really, although they do take quite a hammering on the track. They warm up quite easily as i had to take my cooldown lap after every 2 laps so not too good in that area.

IMO they arn't too bad for the track but if u can upgrade them because it'll help so much as i've done with spoon EK9 pads =]

[danjoy25]

DMX: Even Express Priority is good as 2 weeks is better than 6 weeks, either way let us know cost of both options.

[rk 86 wa]

hey guys thanks for the replies!


Getting pads at the moment is a massive head ache!

intima - wont be in stock till after track day

endless ccx and ccr wont be in stock will after track day

ebc green - is no where near good enough for barbs according to most people lol

ebc red - ???

ebc yellow - ????

waiting for a call back from one of the local work shops and hopefully with some news about availability for the reds :)

[danjoy25]

I read somewhere using racing pads would eventually ruining your brake rotors so you might have to change them, more $$$ gone.

[rk 86 wa]

means a reason to upgrade :)

got a call back and going to go yellow stuff + remachine discs :)

[SPEEDCORE]

Not sure what you are trying to say here because your normal pads will eventually eat your rotors also.

Granted.... track orientated pads will thin out rotors quicker, but that is the trade off you have to be prepared to take if you want a more aggressive pad.

[dannybubu]

heyz anyone knows where i can get the emblem that says "1.8L i-vtec"?? i think they have that emblem on the asian civic models...

[SaBReT00tH]

denot --> just wondering what kinda mods u've done under ur bonnet to require all those gauges? Did you install a turbo charger or something?

[denot]

^^^ but but but... they're not mine :confused:

[rk 86 wa]

Update on pads:

getting some accord euro endless pads :)

will keep you guys updated on the 25th of this month and the 2nd of oct :)

[FallenAngel]

endless mm......

I'm assuming modification is needed to fit those?

[dmx]

ok, back to forum, after busy week:(
if you want get some "impact" on ur brakes without upgrade to BBK, just change the brake pads and upgrade ur brakeline to SSBH. This is the cheapest and easiest way.

and then, i just received my Type-R (FD2R) brake cooling slate this morning, and the supplier said : this also can be use for our stock brakes to get better braking. But i don't believe him because our stock caliper is open caliper (diff. with brembo/spoon/etc--> closed caliper) so stock caliper don't need extra cooling air. anyway, u can give them a try :confused:
just 2 cents

[ej20i]

brake cooling slate??wad is that?

[rk 86 wa]

endless euro pads only need anti rattle shim to be slightly modded cause it doesn't sit 100% flush. Though it's a 99% fit from what I saw that is without modding it

[Phlirt]

does anyone have either a SRI or CAI on there Civic Sport? Any pics?

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/jasperdmx/ozhonda/cooling.jpg
for channeling the air from front straight to brakes caliper.
at least need foglight side duct or foglight area been cut off
but my personal thought, it's only effective with BBK, not with stock brakes.

[bodaas]

are you going to drive your fd on track or something, so you need brake cooling

or its only add on accessories

[uangel]

i got a brand new CAI if u want it, never used

Its just an accessory.

Not really needed for track although it would be useful

just get some open spoke wheels = cooling

if we have BBK, better we have this cooling slate. don't have to on track, highly recommended for street use.
and it's not add on accs, all FD2R have this cooling slate for the Brembo

it's diff. the air cooling for wheels (side and bottom) can channel the air to stock caliper. but it's not enough for BBK coz the only open area is at the front of the caliper.

Yea but i mean for the AUDM civics...

It will be just an accessory for us. I know that the FD2R has them stock standard but there is only 1 FD2R here in AUS and that is at IMG

debadged FTW

[funkdr]

ah k, i just dont want to drill into something unpleasant.

though if you use self tapping screws, might not do as much damage as a drill could.

hmm

Build brackets off the seat bolts

[dannybubu]

hey guys...so what happens if i want to debadge (and how as well) and then i want to put the badges back on?

[Shimian]

debadge is easy. Hair dryer for about 30 secs then use dental floss. Metho to remove tape.

To put badge back on, buy some thin 3m tape and stick on the back of badge. If you want to stick back badges like CIVIC badge, it will take some work as you will need to follow the shape of the badge.

[denot]

hmmm the smash repairer who was fixing my bumper at that time said no problem. and I have aksed few ppl about the result, and they cant tell the diff. well a bit diff (only a pro photographer said it though :p)

next will be a bit of CF look on the supossed to be CF bit :p

[rk 86 wa]

which pads?



endless ccx,

bit dopey in the morning when its cold, but after they warm up i can already tell they are quite good lol

cant wait to STOMP it though :P

For anyone who wants to do a pad swap later on in fd1's and wants info one what pad and what anti rattle shim im using:

- pads are from accord euro (CL7)
- anti rattle shim is from a BB4 Prelude.

With these parts, you dont need to modify or much around with anything. just straight swap and fit.

will give you guys a review as soon as i get it out on barbs! :)

[dannybubu]

i reckon there is still a lack in aftermarket parts for the fd1...im looking at getting headers and fullcat back but all i can think of is a custom made one...and also...has anyone thought of putting a k20a in it? :D haha...that would be awesome

yeah, somehow ppl from overseas (e.g. Singapore) got more mods parts than us... this forum says it all...http://eightgc2.forumup.com

So hopefuly in the near future our OZ Honda traders can supply parts from Singapore as well :thumbsup:

[MKI4EVA]

howdy lads.........Took the car out for a quick thrash on sat morning after putting around 200km on them.

Ride is about 15-20% better in terms of bumpiness believe it or not. I think it's due to just the fact of having more tread and maybe stiffer side walls. Steering and suspension wheel doesn't seem to vibrate as much now.

Road noise is still the same on hwy speeds.

GRIP - It's improved heaps. Before if I power out of a tight corner I can get the inner wheel just spinning because it was just loosing traction. Now smashing it mid corner on exits theres so much grip I can even steer the car into a tighter line with NO UNDERSTEER..........I'm pretty impressed and thats with the tyres not fully worn in yet I'm sure.

Looking forward to taking it to wakie soon to see if i can hammer a 1:17 out of it..........pipedream : ).

how much bro? I might wack some pads before I hit the track......stock pads don't even last 2 laps.

[ej20i]

man, i was on stock pads and i was the track for about 20++ laps....coudnt get enough of it...since there was only us 3 on the track that day plus a mirage testing their settings....

[rk 86 wa]

damn thats not too bad,

ccx were 320$ + 150ish for machining + fitting etc

are you serious?............maybe I was exagerating as it might have taken me about 8 laps to totally smoke up the stock pads on the 06-sports we had. came into the pits and I saw smoke from the front and I was pissing myself..........hahahha went out and had a look and the pads were kinda on fire almost. got a 1:20xx that time.

[MKI4EVA]

damn thats not too bad,

snap.......$320 sounds like full race pads.........i need something abit st friendly.

[rk 86 wa]

yah, a bit exy but wasnt going to go out and not have fun with stock pads :P

plus i couldnt find ANY OTHER PADS for Fds lol

but to be honest, once they warm up they are damn good.

even if it is like freezing cold, if you drive normally, they are no problem at all.

anyone know how i can get a full catback for fd1? like kakimoto or j's or something...i know they got some for fd2r but if i put in fd1 i have to modify which = loss...so sad...can't do much to fd1 in terms of power...

[kazam]

just get custom one done..

[dannybubu]

does custom guarantee power gain?? not just sound?

[MKI4EVA]

does custom guarantee power gain?? not just sound?

exhaust system for a low capacity motor won't yield that much anyhow in real terms.

You'd be lucky to get 3 or 4KW which your butt meter will barely pick up. :thumbsup:

but get xhaust with ECU and you'd be moving.

[denot]

can you even feel 10kW gain?

[kazam]

10kw is a bit, is probably the most you guys can get from NA mods to your FD's maybe 15 if your luky with a full IHE and ECU tune setup....

[MKI4EVA]

can you even feel 10kW gain?


@wheels yes.

[dannybubu]

i was reading somewhere on the 8th gen forum that someone put air intake, fujitsubo catback and greddy ECU or something along those lines and tuned it and got +85hp...pretty good ay?

wow, almost $4k to get +85hp. i need to win tatts.

[ej20i]

there is a turbo kit for the r18a ... but the power to cost ratio, probably not worth it!!!hahhaaha

[jeromerae]

has anyone herd of anyone rebuilding their r18 to handle more boost?
or is the engine still too new for aftermarket internal components

because the D16 (civic eg) is also SOHC VTEC yet its not too uncommon to come across a turbo one

[dannybubu]

anyone know if the EG recaro rails will fit fd1??

[SaBReT00tH]

anyone know how to change a normal number plate to a slim one? is there a special tool to undo those screws on the font and will it fit perfectly on a stock front bumper or do you need to buy a new slim mount for it? Also, when getting a new slim one does one have to trade in the old one if it's the same digits or does it just replace the other?

im pretty sure u need to hand back the fat ones. To undo the screws, its just a + head driver. no diff vs fat ones

as stated, it's for FD. so it's fit lah....:D
spoon bbk fit ANY 300 mm rotor. don't forget add $150 for shipment, it's 30kg weight (all), you can't hand carry this and flight luggage quota only 25 kg max.
good luck for buying 2nd bbk, make sure the piston still good, quite risky to get jammed:(

[dannybubu]

thanks dmx but i was thinking buy new from dealer here coz he wants to swap for euro R kit. just to confirm BBK=big brake kit? im just guessing here...and the fd size is 5x 114.3? and also which spoon BBK? mono or twin block? mono right? just need some confirmation here.

[dmx]

if u want just spoon caliper (not with rotor), someone sell in ozhonda market, i tried to bargain before, not suitable with my offer :( about 1500-1600. mono.

[dannybubu]

[dmx]

yeh i think its about that price range...so i have to buy rotors, brakepads...brackets anything else??

i bargain 1200...lol..no wonder he mad to me...lol
i think, u will get brackets from spoon caliper. if not...hmmmm... u need to do custom brackets, hardly to buy.. brakepad usually come with calipers.
basiclly, the main parts : caliper+rotor. pad and brackets usually come with caliper. and if u already upgrade to BBK, better u change ur brakeline to SSBH. u can get goodbridge or corsport (both USA) or Mugen.
rememebr BBK is the most expensive stage in "normal" modification (don't mention about engine) and it's related to death and life...:D

[dannybubu]

i'll use the life and death part as an excuse to upgrade...:D also...the trader is asking me what thickness the brake disc is?...and if it's the same as dc5r?

[dannybubu]

so anyone found anything we can do to the fd1 performance wise??

how come singapore has so many things for the 8th gen and we got nothing here?

sometimes i see that as a good thing so it makes our cars unique. If mods are available, every fd you see will be modded up and it will look identical. So far i have not seen a silver moss fd done up like mine.

On the other hand, if we want a mod, it will cost heaps to ship over and drain our pockets

like NNY991 said, not ft, fd2r bumper is 2cm wider. you better get replica type-r bodykit to direct bolt on.
FYI. rumour 1 : next year, all bodykit will be available from civicdrm.co.nr, mugen RR, type-R, mugen, ings, wald, bonex, etc. but u better re-confirm with them.

but if our AUD still hang around 0.65, all of you must be ready $$$

[bertomadman]

like nny991 said, not ft, fd2r bumper is 2cm wider. You better get replica type-r bodykit to direct bolt on.
Fyi. Rumour 1 : Next year, all bodykit will be available from civicdrm.co.nr, mugen rr, type-r, mugen, ings, wald, bonex, etc. But u better re-confirm with them.

got new shoes:)

[andyhui01]

This time the trend is ducktail, from Merc AMG - M5 ACS - Jaguar XKR to Mazda MPS2009, all with ducktail, even Honda start with ducktail (euro/accord). Only STI still conservative.


Ducktails have been popular for a long time mate... it was a E46 M3 that started the ducktail trend. E46 3-series owners started following it and it spread really quick.

yupe, before only M3 and spread only to 3-series. but now nearly all perfomance cars (with re-fined ducktail model). Type-R modulo also following the trend;)

[bodaas]

did you change thes suspension?

Also, how much did it cost to paint the mugen replica kit?

just change the spring, i recommended coilover suspension for this car,

i pm you the cost

[anansting]

How and where to get the new Angel Eyes??? How much???

I recall the 5th gen civic sedan had a ducktail spoiler as an option in Singapore. That was in '92 or '93 when I bought two civics ( a 3 dr hatch and a sedan). So it at least pre-dates the E46

[liquid23]

here's my new install =) more to come. CF hood, spoiler, CF interior dash, lambo doors, custom boot.

nice rims..have you got a full shot of the car by any chance?

[cracker]

r u ****in serious? lambo doors? lol how much and show us pics

[howy]

i reckon lambo doors on our car is kinda weird.

i mean the concept is good but not really for the civic.

and since the civic is actually quite high up (unlike other sports cars which are considerably lower), i have a feeling when you open the doors fully it'll hit the ceiling of some of the car parks.

just my few cents

^^^ agree... the FDs are too "bulky" to use lambo door...

[edmbranch]

lower the car! lol..

[liquid23]

haha yeah i was already thinking about hitting the ceilings in car parks. hmm not sure i'm still thinking about it. it will cost $1600 fitted (takes 2 days). with the mugen kit the car looks kinda low already though.
i've seen pictures of FDs with lambo doors in a forum, some are really weird =/ i can't seem to find it now :(
I will take a pic of the full car when everything is done, don't like the look of it now while its still half done. including the CF interior dash (not sticker, real CF)

NNY911 - the carbon hood is $365 US (bout $415 AU) i bought it few months ago, would cost a fortune now!
i got it shipped over from taiwan along with my CF spoiler, splitter, front grill and angel eyes :)

[ej20i]

yea, especially with the rear doors...id say looks weird....b awesome if two door like the SI

[rk 86 wa]

hey liquid, can you pm me the place you bought the bonnet from? or since you are in perth if i pay you $ could you order one for me?

[markCivicVti]

Would like a cf hood... except for the legalities of it... not worried I'm guessing?

[ej20i]

i think its illegal only if the hood is fully carbon fibre...most of these "carbon fibre" hoods are only carbon fibre layered fibre glass....which is legal.even NRMA approves it

[markCivicVti]

hmmm... if it ain't ADR approved... as in stickered.. it ain't legal right?

[trsc27]

Finally got around to posting my cars 'new' shoes, bought them off Dean (DLO01)

i think the CF hoods are legal because its just the same hood but carbon over the top or made in plastic and CF over it.
If your looking at a fully CF hood it'll cost you like 5k? :thumbdwn: it will weight as light as a feather and not legal because its not structural. if you hit someone/thing it won't be the same as having the original hood on which is made to withstand some forces

correct me if i'm wrong :)

u r rite...this is wad i confirmed with RTA ... fibre glass hood and plastic hoods are legal...even if they have carbon layer over it...as long as its not full cf..since if u hit something...it'll just shatter and might hit a pedestrian.

might hit a pedestrian haha its like the rule you cant have massive spoilers cause if you hit a pedestrian and they go over your car it can slice them in half...

[amurray]

Just thought i would post up. i just got Cusco Zero GT coilovers :)

[cracker]

oh a man with coilovers finally...tell mr. cracker....how is it? no more understeer?

[trsc27]

nice rims yo...needs a drop and too much rubber in my liking.

Didnt have a choice, the rolling diameter of the tyres meant they had to be that big, I just havent decided what I'm going to do with it as far as lowering etc after this. Still looks miles better than the stock 15 inch wheels it had

[ej20i]

the riams are hot man...trak style..

[markCivicVti]

trsc27, the rims suit your cars colour really well. Don'y mind the amount of rubber with black rims... if they were silver it'd look weird... but with black it suits.

Are they 15/16" rims mate?

[trsc27]

16's, ducktail spoiler is next

[dannybubu]

anyone heard much about jc-project coilovers? are they any good?

[jeromerae]

very interested in these .. specifically designed for the FD1 apparently

[amurray]

oh a man with coilovers finally...tell mr. cracker....how is it? no more understeer?

ill let u kno when there in :P there on my floor atm :P just need time to get them in... will be soon though.. probly next week :)

[FallenAngel]

Where did u get the coilovers from amurray?

[amurray]

i bought them from Tripple 9 Automotive at coopers plains in Brisbane, really good service :) heaps of bits for FD1s :)

[cracker]

apparantly theres a supercharger designed for fd's now

[markCivicVti]

there has been a supercharger for the 8th gen with K20(a?) out in the US for a while now.. and 3 or so turbo kits for the R18a engine.

I'd love a supercharger for the R18a... though technically superchargers aren't so well suited for sub 2'ish litre engines.

Got a link for the FD supercharger? It's prolly for the FD2 right?

[TurBIce]
