I'm sure your gearbox will struggle and even more importantly, it will still go around corners like a boat xD .
The brakes on the FD's aren't great, and stopping is more important than going faster.
Just turboing is stupid unless you're going to spend more on coilovers, better tyres, and strengthening the chassis, and upgrading the brake discs/pads, maybe even calipers etc etc.
Theyre medium size common cars that aren't built to have heaps of power thru them. The Mugen RR and the Type R were made because of this fact.
yes, i'm sure he plans to do that too.
i doubt he's that silly., and i doubt he hasn't already done so.
Yea, of course you have to upgrade everything for your safetyQuote:

Personal satisfaction and enjoyment :D the same principles go with every other car. Safety upgrades are recommended but not necessary. It depends on how the car wil handle the power, how much power you are trying to achieve and most importantly the driver's skill in handling the new found power...keeping in mind a turbo'd fwd is not a piece of cake :)
Should upgrade first THEN turbo it =P btw, arent you getting a k20? please dont turbo that hahah
its all part of the grand plan.
btw i've got a k20. just not the desirable one
hahaha. BTW! has anyone seen a bodykit for the facelift version fd1?
Nice one hahaha!Quote:

Hey guys, watcha guys think about this? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MUGEN-RR-STYL...item1e5f0f98a5
Its pretty cheap for a kit in my opinion, but is it worth the replica quality? and its pp or something. Hows this compare to other plastics?
that looks awesome!!!!!
so now, who wants to buy my genuine modulo kit?
LOL!
LOL how much did you get that for? I'm digging this mugen RR replica kit. Stanz's car looks hot!
i got the modulo kit for 1300 front and rear painted
TBH the modulo kit genuine from honda cost less and more affordable
LOL!

LOL! well... at least its genuine OEM =P Whats wrong with the Mugen RR liquid?Quote:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...seas-Acura-CSX!

I think that liquidsnake was selling a set.
LOL @ liquidsnake! Yeah, liquid23 has a set for sale. But he's all the way out in WA though
^ oops my bad LOL its a dota move. How embarassing LOL
lol geez, i've owned 4 sets and sold 3 already... too slow jnr! i'm not gonna sell my last set so don't bother :p car is gonna be for sale soon
liquidsnake? did something go wrong??
Got a problem with WA?
No problem with WA, but freight from there to the east coast may deter some people from purchasing items
that's why WA has alot of genuine mods over there :)
nothing wrong with mugen RR, just want to be unique hahaQuote:

Theres a FD in WA that has the INGS kit for sale on carsalesQuote:

ii just want an extra bit of oompf from our econo boxes :D just the normal mods I/H/E
kit arrived already, getting painted and fitted next month with black roof and black top boot lidQuote:
Originally Posted by ekay1

just a matter of whether the engine will be fine running it without throwing codes or something
the k20z2 is like a k20a + k20z3 hybrid
Serious! how was much was it all up bro?Quote:

This is what i can find from malaysia website... but if i purchase, not sure where can i fit it..
hey guys..im finally going to be relocating to australia to live and work which means parting with the FD here and finding something new there. What's the best website to look for cars there? Thanks
www.carsales.com.au is the biggest online car sales website in aus.
btw, what items are u parting from ur fd?
And where abouts are you orgininally from lol
Thanksn for the site. Just parting with the car itself, still stock standard jdm fd2. I'm from New Zealand :D
buy type R over then and personally import it. You'd be able to sell it for a massive profit xDD
