;) ta :) we will see..
anyone know where to get teh v-lips from? the carbon ones?
i remember all of us talking about this maybe 2 years ago.. back around the 200 page mark for this thread.. lol
but yeah .. anyone found a good source?
has anyone used this Metra 72-7800 to connect their factory adapter to their aftermarket HU? Or are most people cutting and soldering?
This is for Civic FD2
cut and solder =D .... couldnt wait for the shipping - and save you money ahah
yea was thinking about that. Would save myself about $30 for fronts and rear. Btw, have you changed your rear speakers? I was going to lift the rear panel to see how much clearance from speaker to the plastic cover.Quote:

lol ive been trying to find a good source for this for a while.. but eventually gave up knowing it would just get destroyed with my car at its height atm =.=Quote:

hey whats the specs on ur wheels man?
soz if it's already been said i didn't see
18x8 +35. nothing special =P
btw, would anyone see any worthwhile benefits in doing a swap with the k20a engine of the fd2r into my fd2?
as long as there's no nuclear radiation, should be fine =p it's the best k20a ever made, so if u were planning on getting a k20a in your fd, might as well get the best. Personal opinion though, maybe others see different
like im tossing up whether its worth the money or not.... or is it a better idea to just save that money towards something like an evo or golf r32 or something like that?
depends whether u wanna be unique, or u wanna do something everyone's done, but has a lot more potential than a k20a.
if i had the money ill k20 the fd2, nothing beats the satisfaction of a honda keeping up with an evo on the tracks :) cheaper to run too
personally I'd go towards being unique

mayb this might inspire u =p k20a in a r18a fd1, 2nd link is when they boost it~
hmm yeah the main reason i dont wanna go for evo or something like that is the maintenance and running costs... ill have to look into this swap lol
even better idea... Frank build swap~
more work involved in that am i right? and bit harder to source parts as well i think. and i dont think road regulations will allow me to have any engine parts older than the chassis?.. making it even harder lol
yeh it would seem so, k20a would be a straight drop for you right?
Hahhagaha i wouls love to see a project fd!!!
yeah k20a would pretty much be straight drop.
effort.
might as well buy an fd2r and you will have a nicer body/brakes everything too,
cant road register it tho?
dump a k24a3 in
isnt the k20a more powerful than k24a3?
K24 would be significantly cheaper, easy to get power from and has more torque.
Please remember, Flashpro, Tuning, Exhaust, Intake, Brakes, Install - There is always a lot more than just "dropping" an engine in
u need an engine thats newer than the chassis though correct?
u can alwayz say it's for track lol
indeed, but some ppl just love the vtec cross over that k20a's make~Quote:

and how much exactly would it cost for a K20a in a civic done properly?
15-20K?
nice ideas but farkkk it hard keeping your licence on a stock let alone being tempted to thrash that k20 at every set of lights. yup got done today. haha.
Hey guys i just installed a fujita cai and the engine light seems to be on. Anyone know the answer? Is it safe to drive?
nah man you're gonna blow your car up jkz jkz. engine light is fine to drive around on, - but you needa see what's the go with it. and now you need honda to reset your computer $150 down. unless you do those dodge diy ones.
check all the cabling and the sensor mount. i installed mine long time back and never have engine light problem. otherwise try to take off plus and minus cable from battery and leave it for about 10 mins to reset the ecu.
K20 + Gearbox (Go for JDMk20) 6-8kQuote:

Mounts 700
Driveshafts 500
Radiator 600
Clutch/Flywheel 1000
Brakes 1k-1.5k
Something to do with your MAF sensor maybe?
Reset the ECU, take off the positive on the battery for 15mins, once you put back on the clock will have reset as well as the ECU.
If problem persists, make sure all wiring in engine back is connected correctly.
Would I need to get all of those items at once? Or can I leave upgrades for later?
Personal Preference really. But things like this, do it once, do it properly.
Yeah if I did it I would eventually get those upgrades in the future. But due to money constraints just making sure I won't need them straight away
Or do u rkn better idea to sell fd and get a dc5s or dc5r and tune it?
^^^ yes
but fd looks so much better T_T... and newer lol..
Thanks for the reply guys. Ill be checking it out tomorrow as it is dark and i dony have light. Thanks!!
true trueQuote:

hurts too much to throw away a good working engine lol
dc5s are lighter, sadly it's probs worth doing up one than a fd~ turbocharging it is a good idea, cheaper way to gain the same kilowatts~ But might need some work on internalsQuote:

so ur saying i shud supercharge my k20z2?
not really into turboing or supercharging tbh lol dont want anything too crazy just a bit different.. and dont want huge maintenance/running costs either lol
Since ive thought about it this for my FD1 and this is the opinion i came down with.
let me know what you guys think and might still change my mind hehe
FD - nice car, very sexy but 2012 civic is due out very shortly, there are nicer cars out there (golf GTI, STI, EVO, MPS, A4, TT and the rest) so will FD still look nice after you're done with whatever your doing to it?
$$ - if it cost roughly from 15 - 20K with all the upgrade u want and better off putting, now that your fd value has just increased (FD1 ~ 40K FD2 ~ 50K) the value that you can never get back, now if u had 50K would u buy a FD2R, STI, GOLF GTI or a civic with an engine from another car with no warranty?
Maintenance - we all know and cant run from the facts that the more you touch the more you have to pay in the end. What happens when ur bored of you fd?u going to sell it with minimal loss?i dont think so, u going to loose all the money you put in a conversion labour, time and effort. say if you cbf to sell it privately, what are you going to get for a trade in? we all know to get a broader market the car is better off stock, you going to spend more money and time and effort on parting out?or just minimalizing you audience to a honda fans with $$?now what is the ratio for a honda fan with money and honda fan as a first car?
that was my thought
That sounded like a lecture from my dad or something but ahaha. it's tru tru. looks like I have to start selling drugs to stay in this league lmao. you guys started from simple mods, few hundreds now it's tenths of thousands haha.
but the thought giving evos or v8s an expected suprise at the lights is priceless.

yes sir. tens of thousand smart jelly beans.
wish there was a cheaper way to paint bodykits.
spraypainting is so expensive
+1 to that lol Need to source a fd2r kit soon.....
what are those cute little animal thingos i see hanging from peoples tow hooks??
Plush toys/keyrings from Morning Glory
thinking of selling my FD now, if you guys know anyone that would be interested please let me know
thanks
JDMyard's selling one aren't they?Quote:

maybe im just being lazy
I think you're lazy. Find it within to do it. Your car will be worth far more and you can sell the mods off too.
unless ur too baller and don't care
