yeah that doesnt make sense to me. if anything, they should be at a lower offset to clear the brakes.. like evos

just wanna ask,
is that the lower offset, better performance?
not necessary, the lower the offset means the further the wheel sits from the hub
simple terms, the lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out from the guard
Lower the offset, the wider the track of the wheels, and logically the better the car handles around corners.
Conversely, the more positive the track, the more narrow the track, and the car won't handle as well through the twisties.
For handling, just get wider instead of worrying too much about offset. Wider wheels = better traction, however, will be heavier.
just repeating what most people have said..Quote:

the reason why many people love the low offset is because it brings the wheels further out from the body of the car and makes them sit flush... or hellaflush y0~!
Nvm lol

It's got a weight of 400gm and makes shifting with ur pinky cake.

I saw a white FD2 with red Honda sticker across the windscreen while driving down from Aspley.
Is it someone from this forum?
Diggin' the front grille..!!
Does anyone know if there are other aftermarket front grille beside the mugen grille and where to source them?
I do not want to replace the whole bumper..
Can anyone confirm if these sizes will fit FD2 door/shelf? Looking to upgrade some speakers but not sure if theres enough room. Also with the rear, theres a metal that runs under the speakers. Will it get in the way?
Fronts:
6.5" Top-mount depth: 2-3/8"
6" Top-mount depth: 2-7/16"
Rear:
6.5" Top-mount depth: 2-3/8"
I think that guy use to work at Carseldine NandosQuote:

Having trouble fitting the side skirts, not a very good fitment. I think I need to grind or sand down the fender bits. Theres a weird block that just sticks out and it's restricting me from fitting them on properly. Think the paint made it not as malleable. Any suggestions?
any photos?Quote:

Autobarn with colour match a spray can of paint for B92P (Nighthawk Black), if i wanted to diy paint my own lip right?

That looks like the advanced concept RR, the CF one.
it looks like it doesn't have a stereo :/
cleared
anyone considered roof racks for our car?
i was looking at the THULE brand..
those aerodynamic ones are ok, but they look like they stick up a fair bit for the bike ones..
im looking to transport my road bike around...
anyone got pictures of fd's with them?
http://i52.tinypic.com/soo8dk.jpg
not an FD, but facking hot
fitme has it on his and im getting some for my jazz
i dont know where to get the yakima brand here and thule is around the 300 mark for the racks and 250 for the bike attachment and around 60 for the fairing
THULE brand has oval bars where as yakima has the round ones... mmm
in my search for hondas with roof racks.. found this
looks rather cool
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/...7201d3b9_o.jpg
Is the front rim bigger than the rear??
what kit is that? o.O
type r without the spoiler?
Looks like it
yeah i'd be keen as on roof racks; let me know how u go dez
just make sure they're not wankracks.
Like a few blokes I know who own evo's and have racks but nothing to put on them.
Or like my mate who's buying roof racks for his evo for his surfboard, when he doesn't know how to surf..
Roof racks decrease fuel economy. Lolz
lolol. they probably do. hmm im getting a rear type r kit soonish =D. and new kakimoto muffler =D. ill get some pics with everything inc my new rims.. even tho i had them for like a month alrdy lol
if we were into increasing fuel efficiency we would all buy hybirds and not mod them :PQuote:

so tat why u wanna sell ur grill XD
so i have the rr rep kit, dual exhaust... the kit came with bolt on tips but i think they're lame dno about you tho. so i was thinking DIY a rr rep exhaust wat you guys think? I've got the basic stuff together and research the actually thing too.
Mugen's print
http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...bum/photo2.jpg
Here's a rep
http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...959resizeg.jpg
Here's my initial gathering of scraps XD
http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...m/IMG_1586.jpg
week end DIY
***OR i can be lazy and just do a simple on and not a rep ORRRRRRRRRR bolt on >.>
http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...inexhaust3.jpg
I dnt really see the point of this one bit - guess he wanted smoke from both tip.
Mugen's idea behind the exhaust was similar to the mugen twin loop, I gathered.
LOL wtf one cannon and one barrel typed muffler?
thanks 36; not perfect yet.. I wanna run wider wheels w/ a little more offset but bit scared lol..
I think i'm almsot done outside; gotta pay aero for the coils then foggies and maybe racks havent decided yet. Then might get a little stereo but we'll see..
Umm thats the photobucket version i uploaded but i think oh resizes it? See if this works; http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...t=DSC_2581.jpg and you mite be able to dl the jpeg.
Raw is about 20mb but i havent even looked at it, these pics r all unedited.
Thanks engee haha, and yeah thats why i wanted to sell grille mike
edit - my car is for sale atm if anyone is interested, thinking of buying a 180 but if i cant sell then meh
for a daily i think its a spot on set up.
foggies = yes. racks = no.
i'll say it again MAD BROLIC YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Where can I source foggies for 07 FD?
