New colour again, still have the other side blue until i get time to spray them too. Front looks a bit weird cause of negative camber, need to adjust the camber plates but have been to lazy lately.

I am on the evo8 enkei as well..what tyres are you using? Im still on the stock 235/45/17 allround and lowered 15mm allround with mugen suspensions.

Anyone here can advice if i can swap the springs on mugen suspensions..car kinda sitting on stock height as u can imagine 15mm drop + 17s :eek: its a vtil too

I am on 215/45 but it want to go 205. It doesn't rub only at full lock over a big bump. When I had the stock tires and was only on king springs it would rub a bit. I have my set of king springs you could have for 100$ if you are interested, have a look on my intro thread how the car sat

Thanks for the kind offer. I ll have to confirm if my springs can be swapped on the mugen. I am going to change the tyres very soon as the currents 235/45 are in bad condition. I think I ll go with 215/45 like yr current setup. How much are you lowered atm with those tyres? 205/40 will be sick !!!

So I rang honda and asked about the 12v battery replacement. I said that my engine was cranking over to turn on in the cold mornings (normally when I turn the key it's silent... No engine crank what so ever)

They told me it was gonna be $260 to replace and fit it!!!

Fxck that.

I went and bought a battery from Battery World (same as the last one) for $120. Took 5 minutes to swap as you guys would know.

Anyway, this morning (-3) I turned the key and the engine made the cranking noise.

Does hybrid start off they hybrid battery and not the 12v engine one? Hope me big battery isn't dying. $$$$$$$$$ :(. Yay!!!!!!

Go for 215/40 front and 215/45 rears.
215/40 worked for me and Im sure Chris's height is about the same as mine. Only down side is that going for a 40 profile is that it threw my speedo out a little.

If you're rubbing when you're turning then try putting the dampers up. if its on max then go for 215/40.
I honestly wouldnt go any lower than 215/40 as it is skinny enough. I used to have the same problem and going from
a 45 profile to a 40 profile made a HUGE difference.

Good idea on the front and rear setup.
By swapping to 215/40 on my front wheels, wheel calculator is showing ~-5% reading on the speedo. 215/45 is ~-1.5%. My preference is actually 225/40 but is rare to find em'.
I hope to achieve a setup with lowest possible diameter while maintaining the grip with those 17x8 38+ enkei rims.
Do you know anyone with mugen suspensions on their fd? The springs + struts non-adjustable ( i read damper is 5 click adjustable). Just wanna find out anyone swap them springs with others brands.

Why do you want to get a small diameter? Hitting potholes and bumps with small profile tyres are noisy and can easily damage the rim.
Generally swapping springs can be done on any Suspension system. Even on coilovers so I dont see any problems with changing yours.
Our rear is separate so that shouldnt be a problem. Only 1 bolt and it comes out. Just take it to a Suspension specialist just to confirm.

What state do you live in?

I am from Perth WA. Sorry for the no intro and popping out of nowhere but have been avid fans of Ozhonda members rides. I just brought my fd1 about 3 weeks ago. First mod in was the mugen showa coilovers and then the 17x8 enkei.
Perhaps i should rephrase" smallest wheel diameter" to best tyres size for handling and looks based on 17x8 rims. I really adore the setup that you and chrischris have but i don't think i can pull it off knowing lowering springs will take 1-2inch off. Hence trying to go lower by changing tyres size without touching the springs or affect the ride too much. I do agree with you that my springs could possibly be swapped.

I was inspired by the first FD Type R concept by SPOON based on a FD1 chasis many years ago. They had a F20 head on a K20a block inside.

Hi fellow FDs owner,

Got a few question in relation to swapping seats on fd vtil and sport.

1) Which manufacturing year fd vti does not have side airbags or OPDS?

2) Is the SRS module unit connect to the ECU of the car?

3) Will i have any issue if i swap my current vtil SRS module unit with a non side airbags SRS module unit say from 2006 VTI civic? Non-crashed SRS unit of course.

4) Also anyone know or tried to swap Integra Type S seats with airbags and OPDS into a FD VTIL or Sport? Any issue with the SRS unit registering the new seats?

Thanks and look forward to inputs from experienced FD gurus

If you are going for a functional build then I would go for something around 215/45, 225/45 or 225/40.
In order for your car to handle better you need as much contact to the road as possible. So chunky tyres is a must.
But even 215/45 on an 8" Wide rim isnt even chunky.
Its hard to get best of both worlds. Its either built to Function or Hard Parked.

All good.
As of your Seats question. A member did a FN2R seat change in his FD. Not sure if he had Airbags in his original seats
but he had to pay about $500 to get the FN2R seats in his car. Think JPrak had to do the same but with his Recaro seats.

I swapped my driver seat to a Recaro seat and currently driving with my SRS light on. Doesnt bother me as much
but will be getting a resistor sooner or later to get rid of the light. Right now its throwing the code out and bags wont deploy if I get into an accident.
But then again. Safety is for faggots anyways cause #YOLO.

Jokesss Lol. Just havent had time to get the resistor yet.

12-08-2014, 07:23 PM
Sometimes we all like to live on the edge LOL
Anyway, correct me if i am wrong but the resistor is just to bypass the side airbags for both driver and passenger seat but to bypass the OPDS on the passenger seat is whole different story.

From what i know the below method to bypass the OPDS;

1) Take the OPDS and sensors from original seat and stuck it to the aftermarket seat. ( Read a Accord Euro CL doing this)
2) Buy a pair of FD2R seats and basically plug everything in ( rail mods required i believe) ( i have also read USDM Honda Fit with SI seats-apparently their current SRS modules accepts the new seats)

I am investigating the below unproven possibilities:

1) Swapping out the SRS module to a non side airbag SRS module ( say 2006 VTI civic)
2) Swap Integra Type S seats w/ side airbags OPDS

Please to hear any comments from fellow members

So I did something similar to this about 2 weeks ago to my car, I'll try answer your questions for you.


Hi fellow FDs owner,

Got a few question in relation to swapping seats on fd vtil and sport.

1) Which manufacturing year fd vti does not have side airbags or OPDS?
Pre-facelift 2006 to 2008, has no side airbags in their vti models, correct me if I'm wrong

2) Is the SRS module unit connect to the ECU of the car?
There's apparently a control unit in each seat which communicates to the computer of the car, (abit vague, i'm not sure if its srs/ecu modules)

3) Will i have any issue if i swap my current vtil SRS module unit with a non side airbags SRS module unit say from 2006 VTI civic? Non-crashed SRS unit of course.

If you car comes with airbags, and you swap it to seats with no airbags, you will have the airbag light appearing. rendering ALL airbags off. I think your question refers to SRS itself to make it not even look for a side airbag right? Then not to sure, in theory it seems plausible.

4) Also anyone know or tried to swap Integra Type S seats with airbags and OPDS into a FD VTIL or Sport? Any issue with the SRS unit registering the new seats?

I swap, 2011 leather FD2 front seats, with my airbagged 2011 FD1 seats, and even though both contained airbags, and from same chassis, i still had the airbag light error. I took it to a work shop, resetting the code to clear it wasn't enough, the error just pops up again after you start your car again. Using the "paper clip" method, had the same result, the error appears.

I took it to Honda, paid about 130, they had to reinitialise the unit (i guess format it), and then reset it (match it with the cars unit). And it worked fine. NOTE: if you do go this option, make sure to get the VIN number of the car you're getting the seats from, it assists Honda with the process.

Thanks and look forward to inputs from experienced FD gurus

Ain't a guru, but You're welcome :D

1) Take the OPDS and sensors from original seat and stuck it to the aftermarket seat. ( Read a Accord Euro CL doing this)
I was on mightcarmods forum, and milkchicken (honda fanatic) told me of the same process, remove the control unit in each seat, and shove it in the aftermarkets, to make the computer think it's still connected to the factory ones. Was going to do it, but didn't like the idea of chopping up my stock seats (head onto 8thcivic, there's a DIY .pdf file that shows you step by step in taking apart your seat), and the fact it would be time consuming.

2) Buy a pair of FD2R seats and basically plug everything in ( rail mods required i believe) ( i have also read USDM Honda Fit with SI seats-apparently their current SRS modules accepts the new seats)

JDM FD2R seats do not have airbags, from memory

I am investigating the below unproven possibilities:

1) Swapping out the SRS module to a non side airbag SRS module ( say 2006 VTI civic)
In theory, yes.

2) Swap Integra Type S seats w/ side airbags OPDS

I wanted to swap FN2R seats, which have airbags, and pretty sure I have to take it to honda to do the same process. I'm not sure seats from a different model car would communicate the same.. as mine was from a FD2 to FD1, so I assume it was be kinda of more simple.



All good.

The member was DUFFY_FD, he didn't have side airbags in his original seats.
Jprak, also didn't have side airbags in his stock seats either.
Thus, neither had the airbag light error.




Hope my answers are helpful, I spent weeks of research, but couldn't get a definite answer, but I really wanted the leather, so I just yolo. Hope the above helps fellow/future FD owners.

I didn't adjust my headlights when i first put HIDs in, and already it was pointing slightly closer than halogens. My HIDs in my foglights were more blinding than the HIDs in the low beams..

Retrofitting is good, just go TheRetrofitSource, they are quite pricey and the Quality control isn't the best, but they've ironed out a lot of the issues by now. It's a good read, talks about all the diff types of lenses/projectors, and yes the s2000 are great.

SharkChu thanks for the input and congrats on the seat swap. I have also been researching for quite sometime on this matter.

I need to apologise as I stated wrongly on the fn2r seats..they do come with airbags n opds. I think with your recent experiences its proven that the srs module cannot interact directly with either a different airbag or opds from another car without resetting.

The only option yet to be tested is swapping a non airbag srs module unit. Hence I am curious if the module itself is connected to the car ecu. From my research the module itself its not cheap as wreckers have many that are not usable due to airbags deployed during accident. It would be great if someone with this valuable knowledge can shed some light.

Too much effort etc

It will reduce any movement from the engine, but in return it will increase vibrations transfered to the chassis at selected RPMs, as well as overall cruising noise.

It won't improve your performance and it certainly won't improve your comfort while driving. You'll almost certainly want to buy an extra mount to do it as you should let it cure for a period of time before using the mount again.

Overall, its more effort than its worth and its only worth it if you're planning on tracking your car.

lolmclol
22-08-2014, 01:23 PM
Yeah the bunny hopping is pretty annoying at times, if you are committed definitely get an extra mount to try it out, so if you don't like it you can switch back. You do get people say that once its worn in, its not as bad, but I think its more the fact people get used to the extra noise and vibrations.

For me when I tried it with a different mount, the extra vibrations and the fact the whole dash would rattle made me switch back to stock.

215/40 on the front (rubbing fender with 225) and 225/40 at the back. It's not bad, drove my mates stock fd, not much difference. Probably depends on your suspension.

Ohhh Lol Your previous comment looked like it it said 18x9-2
But your setup is fine as your car isnt as low. Think the kids would rather more comfort anyways

-2 off would be crazy poke on our civics.

My rears are 9.5+35
Would like the offset to be lower though. I was looking into getting 15mm bolt on spacers
But think my stock studs will be too long and touch the rim unless trim the studs or get new studs.

Its actually not that bad :)

fronts poke a bit with only -1 camber, around 1cm out?

rears are neaaarly in line with the guard (about 1-2mm off) with around -2.4 degrees camber

that said my guards have been pulled on all 4's so that probably helps a bit lol

2.5" Drop is alot for springs. Your shocks would probably last for 1 year depending on its condition now.
It would also be very noisy when you go over bumps. As your shocks will bottom out since it doesn't have much travel.

If you're on stock height now and it rubs. You will be lucky to be able to turn your wheel on a 2.5" drop with 245/45 tyres.
I would personally skip the springs and get smaller tyres. Worst case, You install your springs and the car is stuck and cant move because of your tyres.

I had 215/45 on 17x8+32 with 1.5" drop srpings and my car couldnt turn. Going straight was almost a mission. The slightest bump and the guards would smash against the tyre.

Thats a bit strange. I'm on 1.6" drop neuspeed springs + koni shocks with 17x8 + 38 225/45 and i have no problems. That extra offset surely cant make that big of a difference? All my guards are rolled (not pulled) though. I tested 17x9+35 225/45 and no problems either.

It was like that when I first got the D1Spec controller. Most of the time, it doesn't know how to turn itself off when the ignition is off. Sometimes it knows how to.
It's not enough to drain your battery, but it's obviously not good. DIY switch should only cost a couple of dollars anyway.

The things I do for you! Drive right into the city! On the way over there was a cop behind me.
When I was looking at them in my rear view mirror I could see them pointing at the car and talking about the camber
as they were doing hand gestures of the bent wheels. Luckily they didnt do anything out it.

So in Melbourne there's going to be a 4 Months Police Blitz.

"Drivers in Victoria will face the state's biggest-ever road blitz over summer, with police "locking down" suburbs and blitzing major roads across Melbourne.
Along with additional mobile speed cameras, radar guns, booze and drug buses, police will use every available local resource in a four-month campaign aimed at reducing road fatalities during the holiday season, Assistant Commission Robert Hill said yesterday. Mr Hill revealed that many suburbs would go into "lock downs", which would see police officers and drug and booze buses stationed at most roads leading to freeways and major arterials."

It's pretty crazy - good and bad.
Good - there were like 20-30 drink drivers that got pulled over on the Monash on Friday night and had to leave their cars on the freeway.
Bad - ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THE DEFECT NOTICES FOR THE BIGGEST BS, EVER??!! (I didn't get defected but so many people on Facebook posting them.)

Bought it online, from thespeedline. 95% happy only :-) anyway, it is still worthy to change the mirrors. Because my car is VTI, there are no indicator on the mirror. Now i nearly have every function
1) Fold in when lock the car by the remote
2) Fold out when unlock the car by the remote
3) The glass tilt down when put on reverse gear
4) Fold in or out by the switch
5) Heated function (it's good for the car usually parked outside)
6) Puddle lights (really love this function)

Function 3 and 4 not yet on my mirrors but will do in future.
Want to be exactly like this

Ahhh, thespeedline, been eyeing their products for ages, but couldn't trust the quality.

Who installed for you? Pretty sure you have to replace the whole mirror, as well as do some wiring? Seems complex.. hm.. but tempted for that puddle light ahaha.

Who wants to swap stock rims (must have rwc tread%) for my enkei evo 8's? Took a while to get them fitting the car right, will come with the correct mag seat nuts that are hard to find and expensive, ttf said they cost around 6$ each. Tires are 215/45/17 so they dont rub as the stock tires they came with (235's) rubbed on every bump and turn.
I am selling the car as some of you know and need to pass rwc.

Need assist.

Car, I started it up, and it vibrated like crazy. this happened on P and N. But when on D, it idles normally.

When I step outside, and look everywhere, everything seems normal.

I took the car for a slow drive around the block and back. But it seemed to have settled now..


What may have been the issue?

EDIT: Turns out, a worn engine mount to the left of the engine. Dealer wont replace it under warranty, due to me having a CAI, and they said that may be the cause of it. Costs $400-$600 to replace..

Ask them to provide you on their letterhead, signed off by the service area manager that that's their conclusion as to what the problem is.

If they're willing to provide that, then you know they aren't bullshitting you. But further that and approach another mechanic for a second opinion, should their opinion differ from the dealerships, approach the ACCC.


But it seems weird that you aren't getting any vibrations when you're in Drive.
