Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

Yeah I have a mate with a guardroller and I have a heatgun so I was going to give it a shot doing it DIY.

I got a little way today with a rubber mallet but I'm scared to belt it too hard; I don't want wavy guards.

yeh make sure u take ur time ay, but seriously you'll be guaranteed happy when u pay someone to do it. my fronts are wavy haha, until i bought pillowball coilovers =)

btw Kenninho your exhaust is ****ing delicious!

That's the next thing I gonna work on. Im thinking to delete the resonator for some more sound, and then weld a decent exhaust tip on the stock backbox. Should give the car a bit of grunt, and will cost me next to nothing compared to buying a branded exhaust (as much as they sound awesome, I can't justify the $$)

haha that ain't my FD, that's mikewl's... I just did a shoot for him that's all

a few pages back he had a photo of that exhaust welded by himself. I can tell you it sounds awesome

^ that's a pic of mikewl's car lol. but it does look pretty good. great photography.

Found a leak in my oil sandwich plate today. Not happy. That's what I get for not buying GReddy parts :(

Anyway, some interesting facts after 15 min drive (haven't driven my car since friday):

Water temp sits at around 75-80 degrees

Oil temp peaked around 70 degrees

Oil pressure is 3bar (43.5psi) at idle, 5.5bar (80psi) at light cruise, 6.5bar (95psi) at 4000rpm and peaks around 7.5bar (100+psi)

Boost is still yet to come lol :P

Im currently running 17x8.5 +30 225/45/17, I rolled the rear guards myself with roller and heatgun, turned out well.

I do not suggest doing the fronts with a roller, bend them out by hand, the front fenders are considerably weak.

Guys this is freaking me out. Decided to change my oil and oil filter today and had the car on stands for a while. When I finished I took it for a quick drive and I noticed that when I depress on the clutch I can hear pressure escaping underneath the car.

Is that normal? Never heard it before! What could it be???

Can anyone tell me what is the best way to remove window visors and double sided tape from above the windows...?
I was told that menthylated spirit can be used for it but I do not want to damage the paint...
Thank you in advance..

bug and tar remover, green spray bottle from autobarn n stuff

leave it for about a minute and it just melts away with your fingernail

or mineral turps

as above then run a thick fishing line/leader to help lift the visors off :)
