Man that looks sweet, may i ask where you got it from?
^ bought it a few months ago from philippines and got a free shipping cause my cousin just went back here in au...
they got heaps of oem goodies there and prices are cheap....the only problem is the shipping cost...
next item i will purchase is the leather hood protector...i can purchase up to 2 item only...
Ahh i see. Dam, thought i could grab them off the net or something. Lucky you
Planning to make some led interior and exterior lighting linked to the dome light wiring. possibly puddle lights etc that turn on under the door handles when you hit the unlock button.
Something like this pic

Has anyone done this?

is it hard to install the courtesy lights? i assume u could just be a cheapo and stick led strips underneath =P and wire it to the fuse for when the door opens?
Yeh that's how i'd do it. Or at least drill a hole in the handle and put a 1W T10 in it
obtw guys, u can buy pedals from a company called strutking. It's where i got mine from
blackgen...this is what i found at 8thgen...

There are only 2 harness present on the BLUE connector below Fuses 1 to 4
Pin#17 (Light Blue) Fuse#22 - connect your (+) supply here
Pin#18 (Pink) Interior Light Control - connect your (-) supply here
Courtesy lights are definitely doable - but would mean taking the door cards off i think.
If i had it my way when you unlock the doors, the tail lights, courtesy lights, DRL's and door lights would come on. When you turn the engine on, they would all turn off, except the DRLs and the tail lights.
That's a big few jobs though.
1. Running DRLs (Can be done from running trigger wires from the radio power wire or accessories, and from the courtesy lights, and a relay to switch between them both.
2.Tail lights run from the same circuit as the DRL's
3. Courtesy lights off the door light trigger wire.
I think it would be worth it though - definitely at night!
Got a quote from my Honda dealer today on mud guards. They're $130. Also got a quote on a set of engine mounts $942 + $60 for screws and bolts...
^ is that $130 for 4 mudguards?..body colored?
Yes $130 for 4. $65 for front pair and $65 for rear pair. Not sure about colour though. i'm pretty sure they're only the standard black colour... I didn't ask about colour. I'm only after plain black anyway
ouch 1k for engine mounts.Quote:

sounds like a goer. :) Too bad about the mounts, have you thought of aftermarket? or even custom?
i would. if i knew of anywhere that sell aftermarket or do custom mounts for the r18.
noob question!.... whats wrong with your normal engine mounts?
i mean how can yours in a newish car be dead already?
the side engine mount(replacement) cost only less than $50 overseas....might buy this instead of that pricy oem ones...and it will last the same as the oem
found one at ebay...:)

modulo releases a new kit for the 09-10 civic

Can the 06-08 model use the rear lip?

Taht looks decent!
I still like the prefacelift out of the moduolo's though
hmm whats the triangle thing on the right part of the grill??..i prefer this kit than the first one.....they made the front lip 1 piece from end to end
so much for a lip kit.. it only adds like 2 cm's worth of body LOL
rear should fit but front won't coz mugen 09 kit front don't fit 08
The new mugen kit looks like the modulo ones are the front. The skirts on the new modulo kit are.... getting ricey
looks like modulo tried to copy mugen with the rear diffuser and the front lip looks similiar to the FL mugen lip
imo the 09-10 civics look shit - as soon as they changed their foglights to the older accord euro style ones, the car looks less mean.
As for the back, the rear diffuser thing is okay.
The skirts and front lip are rubbish though.
ccw. check!
tires. check!
i need me a set of these mc gards :D
Gold - SplineDrive Clamshell (Cone Seat)
Contains Tuner wheel locks, key, SplineDrive lug nuts, installation tool
pics - NOT CHECK

anyone know of a australian dist of mc gards?
.k. got his for about $80 online. cant remember the website he showed me tho =\
Got some new shoes too ^_^. Enkei SC07.
Tyres = strip & swap tomorrow, current DC5 Type S rims = on $ale via Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Honda-17-Inch...item3a62808dde
pics coming soooon...
^ any chance you can ship it to sydney?
i bought online and got them shipped dez..
hitup 'the lug shack'
hey fitme - at this stage no, as I'd prefer a local buyer. But we shall see. If no1 is keen for a while, I might sell them to ya. cheersQuote:

Stig is right, just go for the looks. At least the FD is good at something. You from Burwood :O perhaps i shall see your car around then when it has the kit on. Shouldnt have to worry too much about the smoke unless its freezing lol
Don't diss it guys, the FD is a fantastic car for what it is, the R18 is a great engine for it's intended purpose. The torque is all down low which is really good - took me a while of getting used to a H22Z to realise appreciate driving the FD. Don't get me wrong, the H22 is definitely faster overall (and a lot more powerful) but i'm already sick of having to drop gears and wait until i reach 5200ish rpm to overtake...
top end sux though, but it's a daily :)
Yeh guess I should change to dual exhaust then. Burwood nsw?? Or Burwood wherever stig is from?? You can't miss my plate ekay it's FD RR !!!Quote:
