What the f...... thats just ......wow....
Hey guys so i went today to see double din. I just had a look over the internet so i wasnt sure what parts i am looking at.
Anyway, i took few pics and i need your help now. Please let me know if this part is the right one. It doesnt come with anything else and i can get it for around 100 AUD. What do you guys think..
i also want to replace all lights inside car like overhead lights etc to LED ones.. What are the specs of the LED and sizes i am looking at. I am overseas now so cant really check. Will appreciate help from guys who changed theirs :)
the double din looks like the right one, however there is two types on the market, a replica one thai made one and a genuine fd2r one

I think its Thai Made as its cheap.
Guys need some advice. If I get the rr kit everything in white what color should I paint the grill ?? White with red emblem or black with red emblem??
I paid about $130 for mine like 3 yrs ago. undoing it is easy but i paid someone like $80 to solder/wire up the harness cos i have no clue in that area. $100 AUD is cheap. I dont think theres much diff between replica and genuine. Maybe the fitting?Quote:

just want to confirm. The OBD2 port for FD2 is located on drivers side, on the bottom left (away from pedals) and kinda touching the centre console?
yes. yu should eb able to find it easily.
stig could u do it? i couldn't when i tried a while back :(
do we have another obd2 port? or obd1? Theres a port that sits slightly above the accelerator pedal
thats the DBW connection

Hey guys need an opinion,
I found a guy who is selling these angel eyes in the pics for around 130 dollars. He said he used them for like one year and he bought them originally for around 250 dollars and they are korean and that's why better quality. ( he said Korean are better than the Chinese counter parts , i am not sure if he is being honest or not )
He said that everything works perfectly and nothing is wrong. What do you guys think about this deal ? Is it a good bargain or i am better off buying new ? How much are the new ones anyway ( around 250 ithink ? )

Hi guys. Some of you might be familiar with my fd hunt and I've got a quick question. Firstly that white one with the CF hood sold.... but there's anther one I'm eying off with a mugen kit. However he doesn't have the stock bumpers. Should this be concerning at all? Can stock bumpers be picked up for cheap if I was to part out and stock it in the future? Just worried about selling it in future. Plus it seems logical most ppl would keep their stockies.
D
I thought there were only lip kits for the Mugen Civic bodykit. Don't think there are full bumper replacements.Quote:

that sounds suspiciously low. ebay sell these for about $350 +$50 for shipping. u should check them urself to see if its all functioning properly. those angel eye headlights do have some problemsQuote:

if it is just a mugen lip kit, then u wont have to worry about stock bumpers coz the mugen kit does not substitute the whole bumpers, they are only screwed on top of the stock ones.Quote:

the CL9 is much more car than the civic IMO, try test driving both and looking at all the features etc.
Seeing both this weekend. I'm personally leaning towards a CL9 at this point (cheaper initial price, thus have a bit of cash to play with) We'll see how it goes!Quote:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...ode%20matchany that is the fd btw. Whichever car I get I'dvery keen for a meet and photoshoot or whatever!Quote:

also, u should be fine about the oem bumper thing. its just a lip kit which should be able to be removed... unless its been bonded there permanently
Yeah nothing wrong, just get rid of the spoiler first, and look for some coil-overs or springs to get it sitting lower.
If i were to buy another FD, it would be in white.
I actually would rather a stock fd so I can do what I want with it. Tbh that fd isn't the way I would make mine haha just saw it on carsales and gave it a thought since it seemed a good price. Still leaning towards a cl9 hah. Any meets coming up in brissy?
problem is when you buy it stock, is you have to pay premium for every mod you make, and you never get it back when you resell. If you buy a slightly modded car, it saves you heaps of money for modding
Yer that's true but I don't think I woulda put a sound system and kit on it tbh. Just dumped and new shoes!
ordered a new number plate... if you wana count that as a mod ... [ FD RR ] in a nice white to suit my white ^^
anyone wanna buy these pm me

i jsut bought a dslr too so i can take pix lol
I received 1 of my 4 rims today... spewing --"
why =[............
How does that work? Weren't they sent together? Not another scam is it? o.o
Apparently they were on separate courier trucks. Missed the second delivery . Test fitted it, seems nice :) Wish i had the set......
Pics plz!
I dont have a pic of the trial fit, but do have a picture of the rim. All i'll say is 17x9+38 in gunmetal on a white car.
i always receive mine in 1 or 2's LOL.. avoid import duties :)
ekay1 what tire size are you gonna use?
Since my car aint dumped, im using 225/45/17 to fill up the gaps to make it look better and smoother ride. Rims so close to strut tower ><
anyone going to the JDMST meet on thursday night?
^ nice car dude! whend you get the Type R seats??
Hi guys! Just bailed on that fd with the mugen kit I posted earlier. Think I'm gonna stick with a k24 ha, saw the car and it looks the goods. I trust the car is fine but does anyone know if a RACQ inspection is worth it? Or any other garages which provide a better service?
D
will 18x9.5 +30 fit on an fd?
On the rear. With 225/35 and -3.5 degrees camber (y) and a lot of guard work :)
Doubt the front will fit
anything can fit if you have the money
oh wow my car made it on the lowdown!!!!
:)
nice :DQuote:

anyway...
http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr....HIRgw1a1fGc%3D love this car
so 18x9.5 is gg :(
still cant decide!!!!!
LOL!
maybe i'll keep it and get CBR
not gg. inner clearance is ok. only 1.5mm further in that my 17x9 +35.. but the thing is it has more poke. and if u try to camber that in to make it flush, u will probably end up hitting ur suspension.Quote:

u gotta fb me lol my phones fkn dead
ZOMG. lol been trying to call u. didnt know the jdmst meet was tonight. wont be able to make it.

bottoming out ftw, hurts when it happens, hurts less if its the chassis and not the kit haha
I'd rather dmg the kit than the chasis. The lip kit already has so many scrapes and atone chips. I may just take it off sometime so I can go lower
i like your normal rims better then the BBS's. no offence .k
+1.Quote:
