what resonator did u get??
Just a redback one for $100. Pretty much wasted my money cutting out the old one the day before. Oh well atleast I know now and not wonder what it would be like lol. I'm contemplating taking the little resonator out to see what effect that will give.
Also I'm a bit concerned about this...I saw the resonator he gave me had a louvered core but he flipped it in reverse saying it won't affect flow any more than a perforated core...I took his word for it but felt cheated lol.
Oh yeah autosol'd my muffler. Bring bring!
Transformer styles lolQuote:

Has anyone had any problems with both 6000K headlights AND 6000k fogs and cops?
I've heard heaps of people say that they don't have any problems with headlights...but how bad would the additional fogs be?
hid fogs are bright as hell, im running 8000k hid fogs
usually running foglights in non fog conditions is illegal anyway, but everyone seems to do it, its only illegal when you get caught haha
Do you always have your fogs on though?Quote:

what's with the sudden demand for 07-08 civic sport wheels
Ive already posted in WTB section but saw a few others ask here so thought id give it a try too lol.
No love for my '06 wheels? :(
I hate how they decided to include jack all in the '06 model... no aux... 16" wheels... :(
16's?? What do they look like?
I was driving home just now behind a divvy. I have 8k low beams and 6k fogs. They didn't mind lol
Does a red light on the keyfob indicate low battery? I just noticed it for the first time

Hey anansting - i found this site on the net that has a right hand side drive one, not sure how good it is and what maps the GPS has, its $950 for the OEM GPS unit and dash.Quote:

I'm trying to decide whats better - get the Double Din dash + a standalone 7" GPS/DVD unit or to get one of these OEMs.
i read on here somewhere that the oem unit is not worth getting. it costs more and the processor is slower and worse than most aftermarket double dins u can get
dont think resell would be that great either
I'm down for a Melb meet as long as there are more than a few FDs! :P
SirG - Yeah I saw that, thanks... but I don't know why the price difference (The other was 599). A double din fascia costs between 180-220. Finding an aftermarket sat nav audio system for 380 is near impossible right??
Finally!!! someone else who is willing?!?!Quote:

any news on k series engine mounts for the fd1 on 8thcivic yet curtis?
lol haven't gone on that site for ages.. too boring - but i dont think there will be any rush for it, since swapping the engine is so costly you may well trade cars...
I have used (< 30K Kms) OEM FD2R mounts if interested. PM an offer. :)
would you guys know if FN2R Clutch will suit FD1?
Not sure.
Noone been modding lately?
I just got some cobalt blue silicone hoses for my engine bay...
planning to get a hps intake pipe and pwjdm battery tie next
k24 swap it :p
yeah maybe a k20/k24 hybrid ;)
WTF guys, my girlfriend's brother spend $300 on a soundsystem for his car - a headunit and 2 front speakers...
and shit, it sounds better than my stock FD stereo - a bit less bassy, but the surroundyness sounds so good - anyone know how to tweak our stereos?
yea, get new headunit curtis!
Do you think its more related to the speakers, or the headunit?Quote:

The hu makes a big difference to sound clarity
the head unit is the driver, the speaker is just responding to what the head unit is telling it to do.
so if ur head unit is weak sending out weak signal to strong speaker, the speaker will project weak
if your head unit is sending strong signal to a weak speaker, the speaker will project the best it can do
To clarify:
Weak HU + good speaker = weaksauce, with speakers trying their best, solution: replace HU
Good HU + weak speaker = weaksauce, with speakers bottlenecking the goodness, solution: replace speakers
Good HU + good speaker = ???
My question is: is stock HU decent enough? i.e. good enough to just throw in an RCA convertor and run a subby + amp?
In anticipation of: "why dont you just replace the HU"
I like the OEM look of the stacker, I've heard that the stock HU is of decent quality, if this is true and someone could confirm, I think it would be more COST effective to just get an RCA convertor to throw in a subby and amp, as opposed to buying a new HU + double din, and having a decent stock HU sitting in the garage waiting for you to refit it a few years down the track.
"i.e. good enough to just throw in an RCA convertor and run a subby + amp?"
round 1 - ive done that, i found that the sub just overpowered the oem speakers cos the speakers couldnt keep up with the bass from the subs, had that "this is not a quite right feeling"
round 2 - so i ditched the head unit, ran an aftermarket one with the sub and oem speakers, it was better and had more control of the bass levels but felt that the oem speakers still lacked the clarity
round 3 - swapped all speakers and never looked back since, did lose an arm and leg in the process though
Sorry to hear about the arm and leg =[
Guess it goes to show that you can't skimp on these things.
what you could do is in order to keep the stock head unit is get a sound processor which upgrades the the signal from the stock head unit and run aftermaker amps/speakers/subs off that
thats if you're anal about sound, but if you're just an avg joe even running a rca output from the head unit to signal the sub is perfectly fine
its just preference
Cheers Stig.
I'm just gonna condition myself, and tell myself that I dont need it, and I dont want it. Hopefully by the time I realise that I've been lying to myself, I'll give in, and go ahead and lose that arm n leg.
that's what happened to me ahah
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
i didnt really modify my sound in my FD that much
all i have is clarion dvd deck, alpine type S front and rear splits and coustic 4 chnl to amp em and kicker mono with JL W1
in my GE i went all out with Alpine ipod deck with alpine imprint running
front JL C5 rear JL C5 with JL 4 CNL HD AMP with mono HD Amp running JL W3
and im thinking of upgrading my sound in the FD now
Could you please elaborate on this sound processor thing? Is it a little addon or something?
feels shitty beign beaten by a $300 HU and 2 speaker system
