I'm driving a Cooper S around this week while I get the new bags for the rear of the civic, and it's too fun for a daily, I'd lose so many points with it.
Have the FD as a perfect daily, and have a weekend car. Or do what I do and just mod it so that it handles well, and then use it occasionally on the weekends too.
^^ spot on.
FD's rule for what they are.
why the hate.
Theyre nanna mobiles since Honda lost its spirit
True.. But the FD isn't for me haha. Saving up for an s15 or STI now. I would love to keep the FD as a daily, but it all depends on $$. Depends what your using it for I guess
my nans spirits are very high.Quote:

I say all the better. I love modding and the more a car needs mods the longer it'll keep me busy improving it.
Areis I agree with you, and I'd love more power, but do I NEED it, not so much 90% of the time
yeah man just filled with a bit of regrets.... cause i bought the car for 21k... there were so many other cars I couldve chosen haha. but! i cant think about that now

20" finally sold :D
if onyl the wheels in the top right corner

were affordable :(
i would still prefer the look of a set of fully polished ccw classics
Check my link if want to have a madder civiccccccc
huge Mod today, installed a set of D1 Spec racing nuts !! lol. Unfortunately last time I had my tyres rotated the stupid tyre dude cross threaded 2 studs on my rear right wheel, so today I had to rip the rotor and caliper off today and replace 2 studs. Not the lightest nuts but probably 0.5kg lighter the POS steel ones I had.
Anyway my Vti is ready to rock and roll at Eastern Creek this Thursday arvo, only ridden bikes at the creek so pretty keen to see how the Civic handles turn 1 flat out ! hoping for a sub 2.05. If any of you FD boys are keen you should rock up to check the action out. The real battle will be with my mates Mx5.

Dude I bought a set of the D1spec one's before, and would never used them again on anything I cared about. 2 of them seized, they all lost their colour (I bought black ones), and they were weak as shit.
My mate used them before and he had a wheel come off whilst driving!
From my experience they're cheap shit, so I wouldn't advise you to use them, especially if you're throwing it around the track.
I use and will always prefer steel, yes it's a bit heavier, but it's shitloads stronger and you can torque them up knowing they're not going to break.
Thanks for the heads up Duffy, only $50 so I'll see how they go, looks like it might get washed out anyway. I always check my nuts after every session. Yeah well aware that the colour will get knocked off
Just be careful dude, esp at the speeds you'll be doing. Let us know how you go, i'd come visit if it wasnt a workday =/
Got the Gorpro all charged up, so even if its wet the Civic is gunna kick some ASS !! thats if I can keep it on the track....
agree!..for track use i would choose a steel made nuts....Quote:

I actually don't mind the first pic. Doesn't look so narrow there
removed my resonator.
Mugen Sports Silencer (lolsilencer) from relatively stock FD1.
bit louder than I would have liked it.

Sounds sweet bro. did you get the bags fixed?Quote:

Damn the 9th gen is so ugly. Saw one today at my work [2-CIVIC] lol front looks like a city and the rear is a hybrid between a merc c class and a luxury accord
saw a white 2012 sport with the factory bodykit and it looked dope. hated them till i seen that one.

Maybe run a hondata or something
Ye im guessing the Kpro should work fine. ;)Quote:

now u just gotta find someone to tune it for you
This is gonna be interesting!
question: Why not take ur aftermarket bits, sell your car, find a manual FD2 and then do the engine conversion on that?
Because the cars already being sprayed right this moment :D and Id rather it be my own car as I bought it new back in 08Quote:

I wish you good lick.

Gonna get a big 14" resonator welded in tomorrow as I can't stand how loud it is
haha very nice, are you going to get retune? I recently got a 3inch cat back with buddy club headers and decat lol - running silencer daily. If i didnt you would hear me start my car in melb.
Yeah I'm not happy with how loud I am now, makes me more paranoid about cop attention.Quote:

TE37s 17x9 +22 with 215/40/r17 tyres.
thanks duffy, ekdez and aero for help with my wheel fitment :)

Nice car. I am thinking about getting new wheels for my car. How much is yours? wheels with tyresQuote:

duffy: thanks as well lol! na its towers man ;) almost got stuck! they certainly are more aggressive but the tyres saved my life. havent scrubbed at all!! even with a full car! gonna buy the front camber bolts first before i drop it on its ass again.. and i hope they will fit still lol
dw man we'll work it out. Once this weeks over I'll have some time free up to help you
dont u have finals??? i start on the 9th zzzzQuote:

Looks tough bro, cant wait till you drop it a bit. NEWS! i saw a black fd today... i think it was a genuine fd2r, i didnt believe it at first. Checked out the double din, steering wheel, interior, brembos, bodykit was a perfect fitment, had oem rims from honda, never seen in my life, has anybody else seen it? It was driven but some aussie lady.......Quote:

Will get it installed tomorrow and will take pics of how the current exhaust setup looks :D:D:D lobster welds baby!
Also, how is your car running with the new K24? Any power/torque figures with the additions?
Reckon a little bit of bogging and painting of rear guard (that has chipped away) is DIYable?
