I reckon its Piss funny ! I got the tanabe front brace and I have smashed the shit out of so much stuff, mine is bent badly in the middle, and has a shit load of gouges out of it. I even bent a brace that holds the swinging electric doors to my unit block, seen a repair man repairing it twice ! lol
DuffyFD I think I'll skip on anymore brace right now, you talking bout FSB bushing ??
anyone whose bored, come carwash tonight. junction of parramatta road and george street, north strathfield at 10pm! :P:P
No probs.
I'm talking about this:
FD1:
http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue...ehicle=2006-ON
FD2:
http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue...ehicle=2006-ON
Should not all of these be able to fit either?
In particular the LCA bushings.
I would but I have my mate coming over at 10pm!Quote:

If going south to Goulburn plan extra travel time, yesterday on the Hume there was a traffic jam at South Marulan, took over 2 hours to travel 15 kms. Find an alt. route :)
Yeah was down there on early Monday, must have missed the jam but yeah did notice the roadworks. What time was the jam ?
I went north around 1 and noted the jam, got stuck in it around 6.30. Other people used Canyonleigh and Carrick rds (through Brayton) with no probs. Enjoy your race day.
Hey Steve,
Do you find you get enough front camber from just the camber bolts? I would like to be running around 2-3deg on the front but you can only achieve that through drilling the strut where it connects to the hub assembly (ghetto), or getting some adjustable top mounts ($300ish?). I know that JDMyard sells AST one's - not sure on the pricing.
Duffy I need more camber, just pulled a 15.4 in my 2nd session and outside temp of Tyre shows its working too hard. Still got 3/4 of a tank of fuel so I'm hoping for 14s late in the day
Nice work man. I'd be a bit keen to catch up with you man and talk setups and gear.

Would it fit the FD2?
yep Aeris.
im scrubbing too much after the reverse mount, so i have the take off the spacers... if i remove my 20mm spacer from the rear, will my camber stay the same? really not keen on hitting the fuel tank pipe as the plastics already worn through...
did u get camber arms yet? it probably will give u less camber. but i saw ur fb pic... driving with that much camber on a daily is fukd lOL looks sick tho
how did reverse mounting go? easy?
ahah thanks xD
Who want's a quick meet tonight? I can do early eveninggg!
I have the rear camber plates (the shifter ones) not arms. I like them because I they seem stronger than the replacement arms.
I'm running natural camber setting at the back though I think, or a little less, yes it's a little baller haha
Not tonight.. Got work
:/ hopefully FD meet soon.. And sorry for the double post but yeah I got camber arms.. Went camber adjustment today to try to fix the scrubbing issues... Turns out I had -8.15 camber... They tried lowering the camber but best they could get was -6... Still bad and still scrubbing a bit..
Where did you source the Tokico shockies Steve?Quote:

I cannot find any available shockies for CU2 yet which I find a bit odd for a car that is already 4 years old..
P.S. I just remembered that I still have the stock FD shokies with Tein springs...:p
Pitiek I got the Tokico's thru Corsport USA. Paid under about $770 with the conversion rate and $89 for shipping. Honestly the ride is better than I expected and I havent even adjusted from the hardest setting yet.
They did take a while to ship em but I didn't mind waiting as the US postal isn't the quickest. Got the stoptech braided lines at the same time.
hi guys, im looking for some one to install tein spring in to my honda fd, do you know guys how much they charge for installing lowering spring? TIA
Where are you located?Quote:

rndy444 most shops are gunna quote around the $2-300 as it takes 2-3hrs install plus they need to do a wheel alignment.
If I wasn't so busy I'd give you a hand as install inst that difficult, just need the right tools.
yeah rndy444 shops will charge quite a bit. so unless u know a friend its probably not worth it.
give bennjamin on this forum a pm as he does installs for people. he did my mates coils on a cl9 the other week and its a fine job. no noises or problems and he'll even adjust the height all round for u.
really good guy. i wont say how much it cost here but give him a pm and it will definitely be a competitive price
You can DIY, The only thing you NEED are spring compressors which aren't exxy. probably like 30-40$ for a cheap set.
The rest you can do with normal tools.
You'll need an allen key, a few sockets and a breaker bar. Takes maybe 2-3hours at home if you understand what you're doing. Took about 6 hours the first time for me.
Yeh give Benjamin a PM! he did my mates euro cl9 springs last week. He gets down to business as soon as u get there. Tool an hour. And Ryan u free today? ;) exhaust? Front lip? Hit me up with a text if you are (:
like $75 or there abouts, for 1 side, it comes in 2 pieces, the mirror housing which is unpainited and the rim piece, which is black already.Quote:

hi guys give me feedback for my civic :p http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...02149726_n.jpg
THANK YOU!!
Needs a mid and end section.
make the ducktail spoiler the same coilor as the body. and drop the car about a metre.
Then think about maybe a kit or front lip. :)
then sell ur rims and get something wide with low offset or DISH!
Looks pretty sweet
Civic fd_1993; is that a J's racing exhaust i see? ;)
just needs lows...it looks higher than my stock civic :D
and yeah colour code the duck spoiler...or get more black/carbon bits!
keep the rims tho
this doesnt look wide to you? or needs dish when you have TE-37sQuote:

Well done Randy it feels good doesn't it !
now tell me you installed the top hats correctly ...Lol
oh yeah, there's a small bearings ball at the top hats isn't? good thing when i removed the shocks I pull it slowly otherwise I wouldnt find those bearing. hahaha.
Nah I'm talking bout the little triangle mark on top of the hat, the triangle should point at the motor ! but yeah if you had ball bearings popping out sounds like you had fun ! I've done my struts/shocks 3 times cause I stuffed up the first time, then I had knocking sound from one, so pulled em apart again and found I had stuffed the top hat. Third time swapped Eibach springs onto some new Tokico. Can do a strut spring change in about 30mins now !!! Lol
Stevil, can you please elaborate on the knocking sound you had when the strut wasn't triangled in?
ekdez I'm not expert but after I dropped some Eibach springs on the stock struts I noticed a very minor knocking sound from my front left strut when I was turning hard at very slow speed. Now at the time I figured it must be the spring not quite sitting in the right position. Anyway knocking went away and a few weeks later after a day a Wakefield I noticed the knocking was real bad.
So anyway I pulled the strut out, I then noticed that the nut had been moving around the the top hat (I had tightened it pretty well I thought). It was only when I pulled out the strut that I noticed there was a little triangle marker and I had it pointing out. Quick google search reveal it should been pointing in. Now I'm not certain that this allowed the nut to move, but the end result was both the thread on the shock and the top hat were stuffed. Both have since been replaced.
I also had my bumps stops making a popping/creaking sound when I put em on the Tokico's struts but they seem to have settled down and everythings gone nice and quiet. Amen.
