I know this question might've been answered, but do FG/FA BC Racing coilovers fit on FD1's?
not FG but FA
I've heard of a guy using HFP coilovers on his FD1, but you're in unmarked territory by buying that - ask t he seller maybe?
that's the thing, the seller doesn't even know, they distribute BC coilovers all over australia and they don't know
anyone upgraded their front rotor to slotted/cross drilled?
I want drilled rotors...will get some when mine wear thin
Hey guys, i recently got this sort of burning smell coming from either the rear ride side of the car towards the exhaust/wheels and the engine bay. I got an injen cai, however, the engine smells like somethings burning =( should i take it to the mechanic or has anyone have any answers? Thanks!
not sure if this has been posted before. Havent been on til recently. I found this quite cool but at the same time useless
You can see your speed on your stock radio
- Turn car on
- Press 1 and 6 and turn radio on
- When you see DISP, press 5
Now you will see your KM
Its a split second delay but just a novelty factor.
Ignore this if its already been said :)
i'll have to try that out!
any other nifty tricks?
hack!
If you turn off ur radio, press 4 and 6, press (cant rememer with button) but then it starts to play through ur CD's on full volume, andu cant stop it unless u off the car.
Fun times.
yea. It will increase your bass. This one you have to repeat process if you turn your radio off
yea iw as mucking around with that, pressed a button other than 4, and shit went crazy, my stero blasted while i was driving and i paniced and pulled over

still waiting for the 1.8S and i-vtec badge....will replace the vti-l
http://photos-p.friendster.com/photo...502051111l.jpg
What's the s stand for?
stupendous
in other countries they have
2.0 with i-vtec badge
or
1.8V = VTi
or
1.8S = VTiL

looks better without any badges imo
agree. I too went all out with badges at the start. Buying mugen ones. Now realizing i was wasting money even though it was only $10 or so. Now i only have a carbon fibre H badge rear and badge free everywhere else.Quote:

im getting slotted brakes next week dex
bbk? =D?
and bump for my post nobody saw
oh and i tried that speed thing, i t hink the Hz refers to the rotation rate of the tyres, in other words it gives u ur true speed in KM (actually km/h) cos it's slightly lower. They don't display this on ur speedo so that they dont' have to accept liability if u get caught speeding too muchQuote:

wilwood's bbk isnt a bkk :( its tiny!
hey did anyone notice the amber sides? LOL next jdm craze here we come?!??!?!
buti have to agree.. since i got my new boot and asked for no badges to be fixed back on.. it looks so much cleaner!Quote:

I still think the original eagle eyes owns. This is what i want. Cant seem to find anyone selling them.Quote:

thats pretty good to see that they're coming out with these projectors that include the motor to adjust the beam. i wonder if they have these in the blacked out NON-audi style ones.Quote:

Yeah i thought auyto levelling headlights was very impressive too, considering we need them to have ADR approved headlights.. one step closer.
And those indicators are awesome! I saw those once on youtube before and drooooled all over it.
anyone else know tricks with the stock stereo? So far it's 4-6-on and 1-6-on

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2nd hand Honda Civic FD 2.0 Sports ...
May i know where can I change type R or mugen body kits in Melbourne?
And Change exhaust system too....
Thankss
Try OTR or JetSpeed.
dex, where from n $$??
I called OTR, they don't change exhaust for FD 2.0
They charge Mugen Body kits for 1250 included paint
shit, thats pretty cheap! is it including a cf wing?Quote:

Wonder should i change my exhaust or body kit first..
Just changed sound system last week lol
Lack of cash now
hm... i guess thats pretty decent as well if they paint it. What exhaust you looking for?
I'm quite newbie to car stuff anyway lol
I found Jdm selling J's racing but if cat back system need to wait for 8 weeks from japan...
I'm not sure which exhaust fit civic fd 2.0 well too and where to installl
Thanks
I've got a J's racing muffler ( not catback) and it sounds great! catback would be awesome though lol Try checking out the traders on ozhonda, jdmyard or jdmconcept should have a muffler, or a catback if lucky.
You seem to be on the right track so far. Sorry, but maybe someone from melbourne can help you with changing the catback.
goodluck!
Guys.
I just carbon wrapped my bonnet noob style...first time doing it with zero patience and a super sticky vinyl. Kept getting stuck together etc argh!
Any way I finished but there are a few deep fine wrinkles...I think these were already present when I bought the wrap (wasn't rolled properly).
Question is, can I get these out somehow?
Sun, patiencem needle
Is that carback and muffler big difference? If only muffler is in stock at JDM, but which shop to install at Melbourne if i purchase from JDMQuote:

The one i have is for the FD1, im not 100% if itll fit the fd2 though. Ive got a feeling that the fd2 has a different catback from the fd1.Quote:

btw for joseph - fd2 has a different catback setup to fd1, however if i remember correctly its just a b-pipe extention thats necessary (pretty simple and cheapish job)
BUT... that could be for the fd2r to fd2 difference.. not 100% sure lol
fd2r and fd2 exhausts are different, they have different hanger locations, bends? im not too sure, forgot
Sorry mate, im from sydney. Mine was just the muffler, my mate did it for me. Doesnt seem that hard though, took like 10-15 minutes. Stig or Xeno could help you for the catback installation i think.Quote:

sorry to be a huge noob - what is a CEL - i've been reading about it and don't understand - is it an engine sensor warning or something?
EDIT: Nevvverrrrmind (Check Engine Light)
http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1901557
Best option is to modify your stock airbox or make an x-style intake (what I've done). Search my posts on this thread I've uploaded pics of it. Works great
How much for the bodykit only? maybe ask DT Panels for a quote on painting & fitting?Quote:

600$ from DT painted and fitted from memory
Which air intake can fit in FD2 civic sport?
probably none that will work apart from panel filters.
read my post above...
I asked OTR, they said Ingen can fit it...Quote:

Waiting to spray and install ^^
ive got a simota carbon charger for the fd2 - it works fine no CEL, however had to make a few piping modifications (simple ones) cos i didnt wanna use the air breather that comes with the kit - however this works fine too
Price?? are they painting it for you?Quote:

Im pretty sure that the GruppeM is gonna be a $$ to buy it. Probably as much as your bodykit buddy
no i think he means you have to buy 'mods' - eg diff piping to make it fit?
its been covered before look it up yo!
I just got a copy of 'building honda k-series engine performance' how-to book. can't wait to get stuck into it :D gonna be the next k tech head!
GruppeM is too expensive man haha, I'm looking for J's racing catback because order from JDM concept need to wait 6-8 weeks :(Quote:
