want to lower the front only..
mate i suggest doing some research before you buy some stuff. It really does seem like you know nothing at all about cars... (sorry if i seem mean) but if you carelessly buy stuff whats the point? There are many intakes available for the FD2, injen, simota, gruppeM and many US brands...Quote:

visor are reps only...
225/45/17 is perfect for me...

Lol I was wrong x2 :)
^lol thinking of lowering the front only..any cons in handling?? car is daily use..home-office..and some long drives..
Lower back as well... Better handling
think about the shift of centre of gravity of just lowering the front, it would worsen the car's already shit balance.
Here's pics of mine with genuine mugen visors :)Quote:

how my car stands now...
what colour rims do you guys think would be nice? i'm keen on bronze or black but they're so typical on silver...I wanna go wild with some purple maybe.
The rim choices are ce28, cr kai or te37 and either 17-18.
I'd love to get purple te37's but I find with FD's the more spokes the sexier
hard to match rims to a silver car unless you go vip :p
bronze cr kai on silver is decent as aero demonstrated
thought about going gunmetal with ssr type f?
Gun metal or black rims
what do you mean vip stig? like dumped with massive wheels?
haha nah, like rims with dish, but yes that too :p
xenon go advan gold..
guys what do you think about this rim color on white fd?
http://www.ausmotive.com/images/Rena...t-R26R-01s.jpg
i think that would be sexy as. makes me more adamant on getting an 'out there' colour
Very nicely done Xenonkuraz! Just get a set of wheels, body kit, suspension, and you're all set! :DQuote:

Agree with spokes. The more the sexier

oh damn black is nice.
i'm trying to get some ce28's in a vivid colour
fluro orange :D
+1 with that yo!
That looks sweet aero!
Do the bronze and black have the same specs?
And are those tires the same size?
lol. they're the exact same wheels. i originally bought them when they were bronze, but then i had them resprayed to matte black.
specs were 18x7.5 +42. tyres were 225/40/18.
sexy aero. What are you lowered on? I like the black better than the bronzeQuote:

lowered on d2 coils. lol, i think its been mentioned here so many times.Quote:

cheers man, but i just recently sold that set of wheels and now im on 17sQuote:

But looking good lowered. Was going to go coils but decided to spend on a sound system instead. Oh well, i guess i have to wait. Maybe ill just go springs
guys, quick question, im at work now so i cant really check my manual and its quiet urgent
how the f*** do you read your R18A orange dipstick?
wheres the level indicator?
for fd2, you check the upper and lower indicators at the tip of the stick. It should be inbetween the 2 levels. Not sure if its the same for R18a
dont go springs. save ur money and wait - its worth it =]Quote:

Sound system won't lower ur car much hahah. And unless ur sub goes in he middleof the boot it'll be lopsided lol.
my hope shattered. lol.Quote:

lol. i rkn simplest is pockets. but most useful would be gauges - or just get a double din headunit lol
vote for double din
double does look good but i weighed up the pros and cons. I will go for a single as i will be listening to audio majority of the time. The Pioneer MVH-8250 seems to have divx playback but on a 3" screen which is quite ok.
ej20i: Does your gauges allow you do adjust the brightness? If it does, does it connect to the cars brightness controls? What is the model num? I cant seem to find it on the net
thanks
yea it does have the brightness control but not the cars brightness control but you could do that probably
my double din is up 4 sale atm
took a page from stig's book n got an e46 style boot lip

i like i like, i need new rims, getting bored atm haha
anybody know where i can source a whale tail rear roof spoiler?
if you had a black fd and were in sydney - i'd be looking to swap for a non spoiler bonnetQuote:

ah mis-read.
Is that similar to what I have?
kinda. but it goes outward more. but where did u get ur roof spoiler from, xenon? i may just opt for that
For FD2 owners - has anyone used any of the below to retain their steering wheel controls for their aftermarket HU?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...emoneyo091-20/
OR
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...xess+ASWC.html
OR
Which one from this site? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewc...ms_per_page=50
Otherwise, what brand are people using? Most car audio shops charge about $250 for a PAC unit. :eek:
we use pac unit at work
the best so far
Can you tell me which one from the website?Quote:

http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/2/0...4_o.gif?nc=118
like the one on the car, not the one at the top
I cant find any short ram intake or cold air intake for civic fd2 2.0 (without Mod) Sobs :(

Just bought these off ebay.. i wonder how they'll be like
Are they the ones with LEDs?
i have those. similar anyways. Diff color and non led.
i wanted LED ones so badly, but decided against it... those cost aroudn $100 or so.
considering these only cos tme 99c and $17 on registered postage.. it's a bargain lol! Just hope they're all good when they arrive.
99c. Nice. You would think its made out of paper at that price. I thought about getting the LED ones too. But too rice for me.
The type R ones are nice too. Anyone here have eibach pro kit springs here?
Been meaning to get these for a while...
Finally came around as it's probably the right thing to do considering how much glare you get from our reflectors.
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...IMG_0560-1.jpg
great choice howy. Are you installing HIDs? or you already have them in your stock atm?
I thought they were angel eyes O_oQuote:

howy, i doubt those projectors are designed properly for HID's ... (some have a V shaped cutoff which confuses me..)
take a pic of the cutoff for us, i mite be wrong
wait, i thought it was no rice = no power??Quote:
Originally Posted by Shimian
good choice howy, sadly mine didn't last long or the inverter gave up so i DIY by extending the cable on inverter and move the inverter outside t he headlight in case if broken again, will be easier for me to change it. i got the diy picture if anyone need it :D
the hid in em is different bulb howy
lol. ur right. If i rice it up too much, i wont be able to control the fd.Quote:

Shimian: yeah will be putting some HIDs into them
ekay1: the headlights are actually called eagle eyes
curtis265: yeah they're not 'proper' projectors but they will do for the time being, cutoff ain't that bad... will take some pics of when I get them installed
vlixcool: could you send me the pic please? :)
Tim: yeah you're right, low beam = H7 and high beam = H1
Anyone know where I can get some proper projectors (ones that fit D2S or D2R bulbs) so I can retrofit them into the stock headlight unit?
well a D2S or D2R is a bulb type that "xenon' uses so u if u want em for your car, u need to get the oem ballast first which is
a lot of dosh!
Just bought a BMC CDA Air filter for my FD2, but I can't find any Mass air flow sensor adapter tube in install ...Any idea ?
pics?
Let me take some photos and upload soon :)
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3497718_n.jpg
bought these ages ago - they're proper HID projectors. Either going to install as foglights or do a retrofit into the stock headlight.
Probably the first - as it's less effort.
