check out my car diary on JDMST that i usually update :wave:
More Photos on Page[6]
needs to be slammed. :thumbsup:
nice car =] love the kit.. i was offered a genuine one for $1800 painted. but too expensive so mugen ftw LOL
only let down of the car is the weak offsets =[ esh!
That looks sick :) you got the kit from touge?
nice car~ slam it
nice efforts..but I dont know why FD owners wanna make their car like FD2 TYPE R?
this is seems like a trend?
Ek1 wanna become EK9, FD1/2 wanna be FD2 type R?
i think ppl generally just like the look of the kit. so many FD drivers have a mugen kit on their civics, but an fd2r kit just sets it apart. i wouldnt look at this car and say its a wannabe fd2r.
anyway, its a nice make over johnny! get some more pics up plz. i'd like to see some where we can see the whole of the car a bit more. maybe some side shots? :D
wow.. nice!! =)
from buddyclub.. back b4 touge tune where sellin emQuote:

i know.. it'll be slammed once i get my sussy next weekQuote:

Steve.
well nothing is wrong by puttin kits on their FD, EK, EG.... however, what makes it sad is when ppl put up Civic Type R logos on the rides - when they arent.....or puttin like Nismo, STi, RalliArt stickers/badges onto their Honda cars
hey johnnyfd~~
time for fog lights as well!!! =P
haha.. ye.. think puttin on the red H badges is fine enough
i did contemplate foglights.. but i do like the aluminium mesh look
vote 1 for foglights!!!
i saw in HK sum FD2R has a white LED fog light, its a tiny little fog light that locates in between the front lower middle grille and brake cooler ducts. just an idea that looks quite good
u would have to cut into the bumper for that dont u? ive seen fd2r conversions of fd1 civics with those foglights, but they were already made like that before it was fitted. would be a lot harder to do it with a normal fd2r bumper, wouldnt it?
This is awesome man
Looks Great
ridonkulously nice.. i thought fd2r kit kit wud look kinda tacky but this looks amazing..
Haha the FD2R kit looks really good actually. I think it's perfectly fine as long as you don't stick fake Type R badges or something on...
On another note, the FD2R's here (I'm in Malaysia where FD2R's are imported) tend to be very understated with most bits stock and no stickers/decals... the giveaway that it's not a fake are the Brembos and the Type R seats inside. I keep staring at the white FD2R parked downstairs- the stock white rims look fantastic on a white FD2R.... and the black centre part of the wing.. wow. Unfortunately there's also alot of fake FD2R's here with all the bits and pieces, but also alot of stickers.
Makes me wish I had bought a white FD though.
hahaha, nah man, nhbp is ftw. i also had thuoghts on white, but black is the go i reckon.
sif :P
white FTW!
im from malaysia too.. there is a fully moded Spoon FD2R.. look nice.. =)
I agree with howy and jace
WHITE FTW! sigh silver..
WHITE FTW!black...BLEH!
hot hot hot :) great work man!
what suspension are you getting for this car man? how much / where from? cant wait to see it on its ass!
i think it looks really good.
but not for me, i dont like cars that are all show and no go.
nice kit mate....any whole side pics?
tanabe sustec pro-nf.. shipment from japan coming in this friday.. hopefully be fitted this weekend or nxt week.. will be loweredQuote:

im running a completely stock car with very grippy rubber.
wad tyre u running?and wads ur average time??i dont think 4.12 is driving like a pansy and a bitch
just running pirelli dragons, which ive found to be much grippier (but probably wont last anywhere near as long) as the Pilot Precedas which came standard.
i dont actually time myself in the gorge, but it would be alright to have a bit of a gathering somewhere then go for a run through it?!
haha maybe johnny can come down too
yea yea, most nites i will be up dere going downhill from hornsby to galston roughly 12 ish
lol~~~~ nothing is wrong with visual upgrades =]
as long as we dont put type R badges on
*hi 5* to all ricers hahaha~~
hi 5 fung

lol back in 2nd yr uni there werent too many around mac
last time i went there ... soooooooooooo many around
one time i parked there were 3 black fd's in a row and i parked mine next to them XD
saw a silver FD with the FD2R kit minus the front bumper.. was parked at mac centre and it had the typeR badge on it..LMAO
hahaha
just wondering if the fd2r replica kits make the car just as low as the fd mugen kit?
still tossing up which i should get... hmm and did u claim it on insurance?
it would all depend on what material their made out of, if their both made out of say ABS plastic... id say the mugen kit is heavier (since it adds on to the stock bumpers).. but yeah.. not much difference i reckonQuote:
Originally Posted by ryanc

not so much worried about weight htat much coz i dont think itll be too significant
for the FD2R kit (made of PU) with 18" rims and 225/40 tyres and with stock oem suspension height.. clearance from the lowest point to the ground is around 17cm
just recently lowered the car and the clearance is now 12~13cm... im scrapping abit on the underside wheel guards when i go over bumps fast and steep hill dips... overall, on the straight the ride is firm and noticeably more comfortable than stock (this is the tanabe sustec pro-nf)
yeah on my mugen lip kit - lowest point to the ground is 16cm. mine is still at stock height with the stock 17x7 FD2 rims. - will be getting 18" rims at end of year and dropping it 2" on springs.
cheers boyz :)
anyone want a mugen rr bodykit? lol $5k+
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MUGEN-RR-styl...3286.m20.l1116
5grand!!.. wtf.. yeh, some1 go get it
i would if i were thinking of supercharging!Quote:

would luv a r18a supercharger! and theres goes the economy
yeah, i am savin for the RR kit
how badly do u think it would affect it? i was seriously considering turbo or supercharging the civic after warranty runs out, but i thought fugg it its fwd, will just get m3 :( no sleeperQuote:

havent really researched into it but tats what i reckon
im pretty sure mugen has developed a supercharger for the new fd2r k20a engine and for the new jazz/fit engine (boostin it from 88kw to 114kw i believe).. dont know for r18a or the k20z2
turbo kits for r18a ive looked into are from zage and ajp which is for the US civic si r18 engines
thanks mate, even tho you are unsure, still some great information! sounds like too much work though lol
just took some photos with the car now lowered on sustecs and the rear sway bar installed... enjoy!

probably around 15cm off the ground from the front.. cars lowered so there scrubbing from the wheels when goin fast on bumps and on steep hill dips.. but tats expected... but overall, on the straight & corners drives greatQuote:

johhnyFD ur car looks pretty coOL. where did u get your bodykit spoiler&exhaust? how much were they? i got a civic fd toO was thinking of modding it
my rims was my first major mods.. i had ce28s in mind but where out of my budget being more expensive than the buddyclub rims and had to get decent tyres as well.. right now, i wish i had on work cr kai wheels.. those look pretty sweet but oh wellQuote:

exhaust got from westside mufflers at padstow, great welding.. got the muffler + fittin for 260 back then
i held my car as stock for a year b4 doin any mods to it.. when warranty expires, engine conversion muahaha.. but i really dont mind the r18a, great engine nonetheless
JohnnyFD: Nice car and nice pics! btw is that a type r grill or a stock grill but painted black? it looks really nice
thnks NZQuote:

might as well go all the way and get the stickers and badges.
lmao.. nah man, i laugh at ppl who hav typeR badges on their carz which i know isnt a typeR.Quote:

hmm... i see putting the red badges on as the same thing though.
I still think the red badge looks good, but it's not meant for our car since it ain't a type r.
i rather the red honda badges than the typeR badge... with the fd2r bodykit, oem badge doesnt fit and so may as well ordered in front red honda badges that fit the grill and with matching rear badge at the back.
u can also get in red honda badges that would fit in the oem front grill
