Keep in mind that if your getting a kit your going to need 500-1000 depending on whetr you decide to get it painted/fitted. Mugen rr kits are available for around 1k off ebay.

You can go with a front lip/bar for a cheaper alternative, and then run with mudguards, it will be alot cheaper and it's in sync with the USDM looks going around.
I would recommend going that way, dumping it out as far as you can go for a balance of form/function and have a front lip because the stock look is quite soft looking.
Then later down the track look into getting the rest of the kit if you still want it.
Love the colour, The colour of my last car was just like that!
Thanks for all the input guys! Its gonna help, so at the moment this is what I have in mind of doing:
- Foggies
- Mugen Lip Kit
I have the modulo spoiler on atm but d'you guys reckon that I should keep it or go with the Mugen wing to get the "full" effect, I might just order the lip kit without the wing and then see how it looks from there. Will definately consider coilovers but only after the lip kit etc, I don't wanna be running too low, speed bumps inside the uni and around my house are ridiculous :/
Also if anyone here is from Perth, whats a decent panel beater for lip kit installation OR have you guys all gone DIY ;) Installing foggies and a lip kit shouldn't be THAT hard right?
I installed my viper alarm today. Everything is fine and I discovered its equipped with turbo timer (woot) but the remote start isn't working... :(
Just traded in my old CD5 for a new Jazz VTI-S for the Mrs. More modding to come! woot
black fd photo shoot this tuesday...*CALLING ALL BRISBANE BLACK FDs* haha... let me know and ill give you details ;)
mate, that's racist lol
lol the fk why black fds? pm me i dnno if i can make it i prob have work but i may come
hey guys,
just wondering how many of you have DVD players in your car?
i just got pulled over bout 2 hours ago for having a dvd player with a music video playing in my car... $100 and 3 demerit points!!! WTF 3 points?!?!?
apparently it is the same as driving talking on a mobile phone? and also he said eating an apple while driving is the same as talking on the mobile... i don't see how that is and I didn't even know there was a law on not having a motion picture in play while driving a vehicle. what is the point in having a dvd player in the car?
isn't a GPS a distraction as well?
^^ err wtf? ...
pm me details michael i might be free depending on time and location
officer is right. You cannot have a DVD playing whilst driving. They are ok to watch when the car is parked though. But that can be drain on the battery.Quote:

So the passenger can watch a movie from their side of the car, but the driver can only see the satnav.. Or nothing at all on their side
Yeah some dvd players in new cars give different views I saw that on fifth gear, but still 3 demerits is a bit much. I would pay the $100 just not 3 demerits for something not many people know about. It would be good if they people selling these tell you your not allowed to put any motion picture on whist driving.
I would say a GPS is similar, even though the electronic voice tells you when to turn you still need to look at it because the timing on those telling you when to turn, you need to be traveling 20kms or something.
The thing is that I've been through RBTs and pulled over for speeding, none of the cops tell me or warn me on my dvd player, I've had it for 3 years
*BTW the officer warned me that I'm not allowed to have a fog light at the rear of my car... I have the RR kit as you guys know and apparently the small square red light in the bottom in the middle of the car is a "fog light"... I don't even know you can have rear fog lights or why any car would put a rear fog light.
lolwut? isnt it just a rear brake light? in any case, my friend's 06 impreza has a 'rear foglight' (according to the manual), and they come out from factory like that. i have no idea what that officer would have been talking about. perhaps that law is just for WA? lol...
it says the fd2 has 'rear foglights' in the manual too LOL
the golf gti has a rear fog light.. when u hit reverse ONE of the lights turn on.. and its bright as sh%t..
something like this but not as bright.. its not aftermarket comes straight from the factory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ugDLm9Si_g
also the dvd video while u drive.. alot of the dvd players are connected to the handbreak
the dvd function is turned off when the handbreak is down..
if you got the dvd player installed by a professional.. you might want to go down there and complain..
as its illegal for them to install the dvd player the way they did.
why the **** you would have a dvd player/tv in your car is ****ing homo.
RICE SPEC!!! FYL!!!!
Nothing wrong with that dude. No wonder you were banned beforeQuote:

I can agree with having a gps going, but not so much with dvd going.
Anyways, shit luck, bet you wont be doing that again!
and 3-6 is banned again, lawl!
ouch at 3 demerits liquid-man. Unlucky Lesson be learned then..
oh and wtf at rear fog light, it's just a reflector isn't it? Rear fogs are annoying as fk - they're for euro countries, but sometimes some cars have them here, was following a bimmer once with them, most blinding red light ever...
FN2s have rear fog lights but Ive never turned it on before.
Dunno why the officer would say you cant have rear fog lights if some cars have them from factory
Heaps of cars have rear fog lights, but they're probably like the front fog lights in Australia, only being able to be used in 'adverse' conditions.
Do you have yours linked to the brake pedal, or is it a separate switch?
Maybe the copper was more saying that they're not alllowed unless they're OEM..
Freedom of speech, yo.Quote:

The red light is connected to the rear tail lights and acts as a brake light, i even showed him that it only lights up when I press the brake and its dim while the car is running. I think i've seen the really bright red lights before, never knew it was called a rear fog light though.
i'll still have music videos on while driving, next time i drive by a police i'll just hit "mode" and change it to ipod/radio. Wish someone told me that before even during RBTs i have had music videos running and they don't say anything.
and "threesix" - i put a dvd player/tv in my car because I can, just like building my 18k sound system because I can =)
Oh i see. Are there any rules/regulations regarding the positioning of the 3rd brake light? Did you get busted at rising sunday?
i think 3 6 is jelly lol
no idea, i can't find it on the department of road safety because the website the infringement tells you to go to says "page not found", these things are so out of date.
Nah i didn't go to rising sunday, it was 1am on canning hwy going towards burswood, they were turning right and i drove by doing 55-60 while the car beside me was doing 50 and they decided to drive straight and pull me over because they had nothing to do with 3 cops telling me i have a nice rig and telling me to show all of them my dvd player.... one thing is, why are most police officers like 2m tall? is that like a recommendation to join the force or something?
last calls for black brisbane fds? meet up for shoot tomo. =) pm me for details.
check ur fb lol.. or pm me here the details

he's free to voice his opinion. its the internetz, y0. besides, it would be boring if there wasn't anyone to stir things up. other than xenonkuraz, there has been a serious lack of people posting any kind of progress to their cars. at least 3-6 keeps this thread entertaining. lolQuote:

sydney is car heaven!!!!!!!!!!!
I found the gauge pods from japan. Should I get carbon, black or leather? I think the black would suit best
black, keep it nice and simple
Doesn't look too bad but if he has airbags and they deployed he and his passenger would get pwnedQuote:

all you really need is 3 or 4 - boost, oil temp, oil pressure and/or water temp
but if you get a boost controller you can get it to display boost so you only need the 3 mentioned above
I remember a few pages back someone mentioned a shop in Singapore that sells FD parts. Can anyone tell me what was the name and where it ia? I'm going to Singapore in a few days so let me know if anyone wants to get parts or accessories...
Those are the 4 I bought. I also have an avcr but I always prefer a gauge over the controller as I like to keep that hidden.Quote:
