leo can u pm me the guard rolling place details
PM sent! lol. btw, any of you guys know what kind of rear camber kits the guys on the 8th gen forums run on their civics? skunk2 and spc both say that they go up to -3 and +3 camber, but it looks as though those guys in the U.S. can run way more negative camber on their cars.
its not modding if you buy another car :p gonna have fun stripping it next week, wooQuote:

I just fitted a magnaflow muffler to my FD2. The resonator must be huge on these cars because it nearly sounds stock, whereas with the same muffler on other cars it's loud as fvck
videoclip please! is there much difference?
im thinking of getting a twin tip magnaflow muffler but not sure how it will sound
yep resonator on fds is fkn massive haha. i changed mine out to a smaller one, big difference =P
but just save money and make it a straight pipe resonator - even louder
Which brand did u change it to? I was looking at the magnaflow ones. Not sure if they are smaller than our FD2sQuote:

Do you guys get that problem? Or is it just a loud deep note.
Down the track I might get an aftermarket resonator rather than a straight pipe depending on your feedback.
I'll do a video clip over the weekend but basically this is how it sounds:

Same car, same muffler (but mine's fitter straighter LOL)
While cruising though it's barely audible in the cabin, but you can tell theres a deeper, smoother exhaust note flowing from your rear now. It's awesome.
Can you hear it on open throttle?
Worthwhile getting muffler only?
I mean it's actually pretty audible driving with windows up and music blaring, but just not as loud as it is on any other car. It's worth getting the muffler alone just for performance gain. Less backpressure = more power (please no debates on this as you know I'm right!)
Here's some pics:

Also +1 for being so sexy
dw you are right :thumbsup:
and it does look very good.
OEM look ftw.
now i want to polish my exhausts up
Found this on a friend's twitter page. thought i'd share it. http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/phot...Vh1nond2omM%3D
What is it?
ohh how much are magnaflow twin exhausts?
I got mine for $385 installed on my current CD5.
However I have bought them from the states for $280 brand new.
My first ever one was off this forum for $60 which was a straight bolt-on for my first CD5. Rock on!
I also had one on my Audi which I got from Firesport for $120.
(So I've had 3x 14815 and 1x 14816)
Just made a video of the exhaust with my iphone. It's pretty crappy because of the 4k rev limiter...
post it up!
http://i45.tinypic.com/23wjzn4.jpg

im not familiar with the n+ set up... so u could watch both to see how u can raise or lower ur car.
it doesnt use the buddyclub n+, but its a fairly basic lesson on how the height adjust mechanism works on coilovers. the only difference is that if u want to adjust ur height while the coils are already installed on ur car, u will need to use the c-spanners to to move the adjusters and lock rings up and down and to secure them.
spent my day doing this

Hey all, as some of you know I have been lurking around for the past month. Sold my DC5 base (so much harder to sell) and decided to get a FD as a daily ride for the next 2 months. Here's a humble photo of my 07 FD1. Nothing fantastic and not as cool looking as the rest of the FDs around but just to share. = )
Mods:
Exterior = OEM wing, OEM Foggies, Fox 17", genuine Mugen window visors (thanks Leo!)
Lights = MTEC 4900 Hi/Lo, interior dome lights, LED Parkers and license plates
Engine = Mugen Air filter
No more plans of modding the car, though the initial plan was to get a SRI. some of you already know, it will be gone soon. So those are the mods I have done for a 2month old 'car'. = )

nice car, man. its a shame that you're spending money for something you're only gonna keep for 2 months though...
thanks aero. Well, its all for the fun of it isn't it? at least i enjoy while it lasts = )
Lookin good :thumbsup:
love the colour koho. why only 2 months?
thanks xenonkuraz. heading home for good in october after 7 years of uni. :cool: so its a get around/temprorary car after i sold my DC5 base in May. Was thinking the FD would be easier to sell than the teg so thats why.Quote:

and then hope you don't break it. As long as ur not pulling too far away it should be fine
slip a flathead screw under and turn the screw counter-clockwise slowly..
just to keep the pics coming
