only thing I could salvage was the "Drift" brand (from autobarn) pod filter that was DIY'ed to the stock piping so it's just plug and play with the sensor.. $40 pics soon
also heat shield that I ordered for $50, selling for $40, fits perfectly on the pod filter http://aponline.com.au/product.php?p...age=1&featured
stock fd2 exhaust for sale $150 o.n.o (used for 60,000km)
R.I.P civic =\
looking at his rear tyres and the p plate seds it all hahah

what actually happened mate? quite extensive damage.
Holy jesus christ you got sandwiched? I'd cry if that was my car..
im guessing late braking in the wet at the lights and a sammich was made.

that would be a nice interior swap for a vti.
Holy shit dude that's crazy! Hope your alright. Bad luck.....
bummer man! hope everyone is ok..
what mikewl said, bold rear tyres in the pouring rain >< spun out and bounced off barriers on both sides =\
yep me and passenger are fine, just seatbelt rash and bruises..
what insurance are you with? i might be able to pull some strings for parts off the car.
ooo really? im with AAMI, except there's not much else to salvage.. perhaps the wheels? :D
fuk gg luke.. hope ur okay bro saw the pics on ur fb fukn gg =[...
what u getting next btw?
^^ an evo. like everyone else that owned a honda. lol
... how your alright lukeskies --"
anyways try and savage me your oem headlights :L,
i wanna do a proper HID retrofit :D
Retrofit just to get the right beam cutoff? Or to make it legal?
i just seen civic fd sport hanging on car hoist with k24 in it
who might that be? someone from here?
yeah read a few pages back.
Installed Throttle Body spacer and made DIY SRI (http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engin...ntake-r18.html)
Much better throttle response, revs more freely and a bit more pull in midrange :)
How you know its a K24? :)Quote:

is a pivot voltage stabiliser good (blue one)? o.o i got one for free and i dont know whether its worth installing or not
No harm in installing it, but just make sure it's real, most are fakes. Check their site for tell tail signs of being fake.Quote:

looking forward to the end result egb :P
have you driven the car to the weightbridge already? btw thumbs up for the first fd k24 conversionQuote:

^^ Evo. hehehe

thats an interesting place to put the civic badge. :thumbsup:
yeah it covers the two holes up mostly. I tried it but thought it looked a bit rice on my car.
Amazing Old Pac night tonight with mates - roaring down with an evo 8, e92 m3, NB mx-5 and me.
Anyone here have Hub rings for their wheels? Do we even need them? I was told to get a set to be safe..
only with aftermarket wheels they are needed as the weight of the wheel is all on the studs and not on the hub
risk of a stud snapping off
back in sydney!
uhm baygon i used to hav them but sold them with my old set of rims n never had time to buy a new set. it is safer to have them as it helps reduce vibrations and the stress on the wheel hub but a lot of people dont run them. if u wanna be on the safe side get them for sure, but dont get shitty plastic ones, get proper aluminum/metal ones
The weight of the wheel is actually taken by the frictional forces between the mating face of the wheel and the face of the hub.Quote:

More important IMO than the rings, is using decent nuts, stay away from replica's and steel > aluminium
Thanks for the heads up guys, i think ill get myself a set, better safe than sorry. I did a measurement of the diameter i should get and its 67mm, can anyone confirm this?
My FD1 is 64.1mm hub bore from memory. I didn't think this was different for the FD2?
For the fd boys

Awwesome vid, sounds mean. NA ftw.
This is the 5zigen turbo fd, fastest FWD at Tsukuba. The turbo sound like it would suck in any birds flying overhead.

Both those cars are friggen loud..
Very nice, sleeper ftw
Hows the K24 going?
Here's a vid for you all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giehdPNgYAU&feature=youtu.be
Wow nice! Running all smoothly now i see, how much power did you manage to pull out of it?
At the moment I'm running low boost @ 6psi and making 130kw at the wheels for daily driving.
I was running higher boost previously but the boost solenoid died.
Currently looking into buying an Apexi AVC-R for permanent easy low/hi boost!
Thats alright man! You should get a i/h/e combo with a tune, should see higher figures and still suitable as a daily
Really tempted to turbo the R18 now..
"you can do it!"
u guys seen this...?
http://gripshiftslide.com/2012/01/11...e-ks-problems/
it is for sale... tempted to sell mine for this instead of a dc5r lol...
Holy Fukc he done a sweet job !!
yeh man looks damn nice
What with the white lettering on the tyres ? I'm running RS-R and I dont have the white, I'm guess he painted it on ??
yeah u can just get that on any tyre
I think he took it down
It was only eoi

Ryan. Part out already please :P
Lol I might be soon. Waiting for license to come back then gonna sort out all my shit
Natio drive tonight, was mentallll! So proud of the civic, kept up with my mate's JCW Cooper for the most part, just lacking power out of the corners
Nice nice. Anyone have any first hand experience or heard about the handling of cars with airbag suspension? Going to bag the civic and the kit I'm buying is I think, the coils with airbags on top. I just hope it's better than stock. . . As currently its just on tein stechs
Stigs bags?
Yepp that's the 1
U baller. How's Taiwan? Bring me an fd2r back lol. Any good car stuff u bought there?
It's alright lol. Saw a cab with the RR kit... I met up with will as well. Not yet, going tomorrow to some place that sells car parts. See what they got :P
Haha sick let me know if any epic fd shit!
Afaik bro, bags are supposed to be soft, more of a cosmetic thing then function
Anything is better than stock but IMO coilovers > bags, except for parking hard.
Thanks. I just want it to be better than stock lols. Never gonna track the car anyway
