they didn't give me rwc cos i cbf putting those clips that hold the undertray to the front bumper on... bunch of tightarses
lol stig sell me your clips :)
I didn't know that was a rwc issue? if so lame one.
my mechs usually only check brakes, tyres, seatbelts, lights and handling
aznboiio1 i was gonna let go of my clips to you but now i need them, i got desperate for an rwc so i went to a place near my house, thought it would be a simple drive in drive out like in springvale, took all morning -_-
not bringing my evo there for sure, would fail so much LOL
the guy who i usually go to just.. looks at it... waves his hand under the car to clear height, check tyres, wobble the seats... done, 10min job, easy 100, but vicroads took his logbook for inspection so i couldnt go there LOL
fark thats just bad luck T_T,
on another note, got a quote for my 10k service, $300, i just cant justify paying $300, whereas midas are having a special atm for $55,
for the complete service, change filters, etc buh only give 5L of oil, both using similiar oil, where you can pick it from supercheap..
and i need to replace em clips, theres like 10 of em,
Got them seats in today took ages!! Finished with no airbags for safety and no seatbelt lol just the harness which sticks you to the seat like bird shit on a sunnyday. :thumbsup:
Monza red 4 pointers except I ripped the logos off ^^ for 89 pair. ADR approved not rta approved ..Quote:

do u have stockies still? Just chuck those on to clear the pits. Then get ur camber sorted out later
Just got a minor defect. Only gotta pay the fine. The car will be parked in the garage for the next couple of weeks while I go overseas anyway. When I get back I'll order some s2 camber arms n camber the shizz out of the rears. Then it should be ok lol
took my fd1 hid out to get rwc, used for like 2 weeks, from xenon xtreme, 50 bucks for any takers here cos i cbf putting it back in haha, 6000k HB4
Is it the slim one or the normal? would you ship to me again? :P
slim one, lol of course
Henry pm me, I'll take em if they haven't been sold. Moneys ready ;)
Car looks funny with normal driving lights ad hiss for foggies lol
mmm any recommendations for a audio setup for under $500?
looking for front, rears and an amp to power em, and the associated cabling/components.
ive asked around, and the specs dont seem to appealling TT,
$500 is a bit of a tight budget considering most of the cabling will cost you around 100-150$ depending on what you need (the power cable will add up and recommendation is 4 gauge minimum)
imo worked all holidays, paid of uni fees, buy textbooks/etc, pay for servicing car, and other stuff, only leaves me with $500 rofl,
wait $300 if i get someone to install my double din deck professionally TT,
unless ill pay someone here to do it for me @ a cheaper rate :D, ive got no experience wat so ever
come to melb i'll do it for less...hehe
buy my head unit harness, then its just soldering matching colours, then its plug and play
how much, lol, i didnt even know wats it used for b4...
anyone looking for skunk2 sport shock set with skunk2 spring?
thats hot for real
That's the sad fate of the honda civic :(
Sad for that civic. Quick, someone get some c4 and put it out of it's misery...
i honestly think its sexy, not ricey @ all lol
nahh its photochopped....Quote:

where are their indicators? wonder how they got hold of those models (with our face)
I would have to assume no? cos if you think about it, in order to run the fd2r front bar you need wider fenders, so the bar is wider than a FL FD front barQuote:

Unless someone proves me wrong lol but that's my assumption
lol I'll show you in person at the next agentz meetQuote:

is all that on the floor goin in?
Yea, prob during easter break as I don't have any time atm with uni/work but the advan's prob won't go on until a while cos I can afford tyres
So in other words, if i have a FD2R kit on, i should be able to fit the lip on?Quote:

saw so many fake type-R's as well as genuine ones.. place is insane
were there any rear diffusers? i really want a rear diffuser..
if only it was easy to drive your car onto a ship (like to tasmania) and come back from singapore fully modded.
I really want a REAR full bumper replacement. Not much option for my dual 4" remus. Most hold single tips only :(
Mcwell has lots of stuff, but they are not cheap. If you have more time try the other shops.

Ride quality is excellent in my opinion, feels like a different car. Excellent value for money is all I can say, top quality coilover. No problems so far. Highly recommended for someone who is after a fully adjustable coilover setup, without needing to spend huge amounts of money.
My friend who tested as driver & passenger said ride quality is comparable to his DC5R with Tein Flex coilovers.
Spring rate is 6kg Front, 6kg Rear
Softest setting is slightly harder than stock, more firm. However still had too much body roll for my liking. Tested with a few different settings, since lowering car, it tended to bounce a bit through deep pot holes/rough roads.
The best for me so far is setting front damper to 17 & 18 clicks for the rear (for track, this can be set much higher without issues). Increasing the damper to this setting seems to provide the best 'in-between' for street, not soft & not too hard. Any higher, car would feel too hard/harsh for Perth streets. The roads here are not all smooth, some a very rough, old, uneven. Each person may have their own individual taste, but I like my car to be stiff for a more controlled & firmer ride. Due to the higher damper settings, I also adjusted the tyre pressures to accommodate, 38psi front & 36psi.
After wheel alignment got camber dialed in at: -1 front & approx -2.2 for rear, +0.8 toe in the rear, the car grips through the corners. You can even say car feels like it's on rails.
Body roll has reduced immensely, however I also got a Ultra Racing 19mm rear ARB & TC Sportline Front Strut Bar installed which also improve handling. Even for a stock car, just coilovers will make a great improvement in handling.
Overall, this is a quality product & worth the money. Not many other coilovers can provide as much functionality for this price.
so want to buy these now. I have a set a set of pedders springs on and I'm not satified with handling yet, great write up mate, you have me convinced!
Calling all fellow BRISBANE FD owners !!

will these bad boys fit our civics?
I have a strong feeling it will. I think theres a seller on here sellig those though. cant remember who
Yeh they should fit, ive got the skunk2 one and to be honest they dont feel that great, they just shorten it by decreasing the leverage.
decreasing the throw, not so much leverage.
u need a combo of both to get a decent short shift.. maybe consider chopping the stick? haha
i love and hate the FD shfiter, throw angle feels like a lot but the throw isn't really that long... are there any short shifter kits? I know there are some for the civic si in the US but that's for the 6 speed (no sure if we have the same deal here.. or if it fits the 5 speed gearbox)
it's a full on shifter replacement. http://www.twmperformance.com/shorts...ic-gateway.htm
http://www.twmperformance.com/shorts...age-3-link.gif
i heard that by shortening the shifter in an already short shift (our FDs) is quite bad for the gearbox
so im not game enough try since its grinding somethings being stuck already
ill get xd9 pics up tmrw, however car is fkn filthy as but meh lol
my rears will probably scrub with full load.. and im only running 18x8 +35 with 215/40/18 tyres =/...
