is anyone going to the ozhonda nationals at wakefield?
I heard theres a fd2r going!
No one is going to watch?
Geezzz we are a dying breed of civics ...
The silence is defining. lol
I will be going and may be competing if I can complete my brake setup
Yepz. All the oldies but goldies (stig, aero, ej20i, murrayfd, jace, curtis) etc have parted out and $$old up.
Unfortunately, the flame burnt out long, long ago. No one left willing to carry the baton. Even still, it's all been covered already.
This thread is now perhaps just a lost cause.
not when there is a turbo FD2 in the build.....
would love 2 go to the Nationals and fling the FD1 around Wakefield but a trip to the NT is booked, will be running at the track a few days later with my new brake set up (slotted DBA 4000 and QFM pads ). Good to have a choice with some good Aussie made perf parts.

very nice, cant wait to get my rr kit. getting ssr type F's first but.
btw any more pics of the car?
kenninho on here did a shoot for me .... http://www.flickr.com/photos/xposure2010
I need some pillow ball upper strut tops (camber adjustable).
I'm currently running cusco zero gt coilovers with the stock strut tops, but I need more camber ( I already have camber bolts).
Who knows where to get some aftermarket strut tops?
LoL wut? U need more camber? What are ur wheel specs?
It's the front that's the problem. Scrubbing problems
Running 17x8 +10 (+30 rim with 20mm spacer). with a 205/45R17.
If I could source some 195 tyres for the front, that would be amazing, however I've found nothing so far.
Guards are rolled, just still scrubbing badly.
I actually found that the max camber I get on driver side (1.5deg), I can't get on the passenger side (I'm getting max around .5 - 1deg). It's something to do with my strut top I think.
If I can get the proper strut tops, then I can get another degree of camber which will stop the scrubbing.
spacer too big man. just save urself some time and get some 10mm spacers. it'd still look flush, plus u wouldn't have to compromise handling by adding some negative camber to the front wheels
It would be nice if i could keep the stance as i have it now.
Maybe I put the 20mm spacers on the back and then run 10's on the front.
What's a decent brand for 10mm spacers? They would need to be bolt ons..
Questions about adjusting low bream HID on fd civics.
1. Is there only one nut/cog to adjust on each headlight unit?
2. Will I have to remove the battery or plastic bottle to get to the one on the passenger side?
no, and (i think) no.
there are 2 (one does up/down and one is left/right, you just have to look hard for it - you knwo what they look like right?
Not really. Am confused now lol. Any body have a pic of what they are and where they are located?
http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/q...ictures002.jpg
same place as this pic
i was wrong too: you do need to take the coolant bottle out
will post a pic for you if u can't find it
I read that article n saw thr pic in the 8th gen forum... So there's only one nut thingo to adjust? I'd like to see how it looks when looking down into the engine bay. Pics plx Curtis
looking at the back of your headlights...
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMAG0272.jpg
apologies for the shit pic, HTC desire cam is CRAPOLA
So, I just jam a screwdriver or something pointy into those teeth and move them up and down, or can I just use a spanner or something and turn the top bit?
the one at the btm is to adjust up and down, best/easier to use a short philips screwdriver, and the one at the top is like hidden under the trim, so you cant stick a screwdriver in,Quote:

the best way on adjusting your headlight beam aim. instead of using a short screwdriver, use an 8mm ratchet, because you can just keep turning and not have to take it out and position your screwdriver again.
since we don't have projectors, don't use the wall as a guidance, go to a flat space (like a carpark) with no light and do one light at a time (unplug the other)
wut? just jam the screwdriver into the cog and turn it with it's teeth... I'd also recommend going into a flat carpark instead of a garage wall too
damm. it pays to get regular wheel alignments. lol.

too bad he has a noob lip...where as I have a better one..... well two hint hint anyone
just sold my bbs yesterday lol
im looking for bbs in gunmetal, or type F's matt black
guys would 17x9.5 +40 fit at the rears? and 17x8.5 +30 at fronts? looking to go back to 17 rims lol
Front specs are fine but the rear may be a problem. Offset is too high and u might have some inner scrubbing problems or the rim will be hitting ur rear shock. If ur looking at these from someone local to u, I suggest a trial fit.
17x 9.5 + 40 wont fit man. Im running 17 x 9 + 38 and its like skimming the rear strut. The rim on the left rear has made a hole through the plastic which protects the fuel lines.... with your fitment it'll go through that lol. Btw saw your car at EW the other night, looks nice!
Lol fark. Might go 17x8.5 +31. Should be fine all round yeh?
Oh really. Lol my car is super dirty atm haha rims look like shiet =P.
17x8.5 +31 will be fine
17x9 all round ftw.
get your dish on.
I'm looking for 17x9's maybe +30 No rush though
I know where u can get some 17x9 +20, +25 from... lol
yeah but I'm not such a fan of gold..
they would look hot on your black beast though!
real talk.
Can always pull apart and respray
black n gold looks goot mang
aero you had no issues with 17x9 +35 right? what tyres did u end up running btw? tried to search through the thread but so many pages lol could only find ur pics
what tyres or what size?
i think he ran ku31? 215/40/17
n no scrubbing issues?
215/40/17 shouldnt scrub alot...... depends how hard you lower it too. I'm running 225/45/17, its a bit too chunky, rear rubs on the tabs even though ive shaved most of it off.
205 45 r17 all round, loving life - actually if there was a 195 width in a 17 inch i would have run that on the front.
I picked a pair of 205 45 r17 KU31's yesterday for 145 a piece. How does that fair in terms of most prices? I haggled down from $175 a piece
Duffy, where'd you get the tyres from may i ask?
pm sent ekay1
I got my ku31s in 215/40/17 for $125 each at option 1 here in bris. No scrubbing issues at all and that when I was at my lowest as well.
I also used the same set of tyres on my bbs wheels with no scrubbing.. However that was after I got my camber arms for the rear wheels
