and, if the rims are much heavier than stock/oem, then, yes, the absorber needs to work much harder to manage them. having said that, std AM rims are usually no more than 1-2 kg heavier than stock/oem. and considering the amount of punishment the wheels, tyres, shock/spring they have to go through when u drive on country roads, I would say that line was meant to be a 'cover honda ass'..
Ordered mine like first week of September, should be able to pick it up on Tuesday.... :rolleyes:Quote:

Theres some subtle changes we've noticed with the interior, plastic around sunroof frame, some extra storage holes in the dash, lumbar on seats seems to be more supportive - cushion. We're hoping the ride height drops maybe 1/2cm as it sits a tad high atm, but I guess it's stock height so can't complain too much.
Can't wait till the brakes bed in and motor settles in abit more for some redline action..........enjoy.
some nite shots.

nice, u got ur ride back~looking great~
nice wheels
:wave:
Went to the dealership on the weekend and try to get a trade in. He quoted me $26700 with rear spoiler free on a 07 VTI automatic. Im in QLD and this was at springwood dealership, i still think they could still do alot better, anyone else in QLD experience better deals?
the price on 07 models should be the same
i got mine from austral 25500, floor mats, muffler tip, and enviroshield paint protection.

the civic is enough to have some fun up there but because the shocks are under dampened on the sports on some of the rough areas the suspension kinda misses a beat and back steps out abit. the drive by wire doesn't help either when your trying to match rev into the lower gears quickly...........
yea send me a IM if you end up going...........wouldn't mind going up if im free.........I have to inspect an old datsun 240z on sunday as well - possibly another project car.
aight.
I paid 33k for my sport auto drive away with mats only. pick up next week.
Good price?
is it 07-spec? or demo?Quote:

canceled the day run.
gonna be a night run.
gonna leave chatswood at 10ish.
or you jsut wanna meet at mobil?
Everyone is welcome.!
Its a '07 by the compliance plate. 15km on the speedo as I saw it on the backyard. It had just come into the dealer and still had the seats wrapped and protective sheets on the body work.
BTW, what make and model tyres comes with the '07?. Sorry I forgot to check in my excitement. Also are they any good?

Hey in sydney at the moment..It would be nice to catch with some of the civic oweners...So if someone could pm me the detail if yall planning for ay nites out.Im at cammeray for now...north shore
Cheers.
Finally got my silver VTI last friday after more than 4 months of waiting and got a 07 Civic too!
Installed the door garnish today and tried to install the phillips crystalvision light bulbs, but encountered hiccups. The installations of the light bulbs requires the removal of the cover in the wheelarch in order to change the bulbs. I removed the 2 clips as instructed but I still can't get the cover aside and I am afriad that I would cause damage to a new car.
How do you guys managed to change the bulbs? I am going to let the Honda guys do the bulb change.
Just put down a deposit for my 07 civic vti auto, going to wait till april for the it to arrive o_O 2 4 months!! Anyways got it for $26675 with rear spoilers and accent light, couldnt even knock it to 26500 o_O is it a good deal you guys think?
Anyhow, i got a red 05 integra type s for sale in qld 53k on the clock, hid, matts, window tint/paint protection, anyone interested pm me. asking for $34600 or reasonal offers. Need to pay for my civic when it arrives 4 months later *sigh*
Vupham, ur price for order a VTIL, right? if yes, u got a really good price~
Nope, its just vti auto, sorry forgot to put it in the last thread, edited already. I think its pretty good price still or the most i can get out of it
woah sorry to say $26675 i think thats a really high price for a vti auto...
basically ur paying everything for retail without any discount i think?
or maybe a few hundred off..
I don't know much about Focal.. but I'm surprised the sound improvement is noticeable without amplification. Any comments? I'm asking because I still haven't gotten round to my rear speakers... still undecided whether to invest in a 2nd amp or just run it off stock wiring.Quote:

I think I removed 4 or 6 of them to ensure that I could fit my arm in without injuring myself. Mind you, when you remove that many, it becomes alot harder to align it later on to reattach. Your choice. Try to keep track of which clips/screws came from where since IIRC, some fit better than others.Quote:

The thing is, Honda doesn't really need to lower the price much considering the demand way exceed the supply.
anyone know what what the rim offset is for the 06 civic vti?
+45 or close too.
Back to August 2006, I paid $26200 for a VTI auto with alloys, windows tinting, tip finishers, mats, a full tank and slim plates. I had to wait only 4 weeks to get it.Quote:

The last pic was meant to be the accent lighting but the flash went off taking a weird shot. But atleast u can see the interior trim set.

hi guys... just wondering where can i get a mugen kit for my 07 sport??.From the net or somewhere else? i'm a new owner, so = noob......... looking forwad for ur help...... thx..^.^:D:D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
mate, u can order from JDM concept, and it will take around 6-8 wks waiting, but trust me, u will think that is worth~
here's my car with mugen kit which compare with Shiman's factory kit, which one better just up to u~ enjoy~

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...0Abt2TJi4bs2JA
PS: i will lowed it with Teins SS this mth, but wondering it will be very low with kit, still thinking how low i should set it to, or maybe just adjust it as hard as it can then lower a bit, that's enough~huh
It looks like the Mugen bodykit has more curves. And obviously the spoiler looks different. I didnt think Mugen made a silver moss coloured bodykit.
true, according to mugen website, they just offer any color which release in JP
Quick question for you all,
To order a full OEM bodykit from Honda,
minus the spoiler.
To order a the full mugen kit from a ozhonda trader,
minus the spoiler.
What sort of price difference would there be?
mugen kit will cost approx. $500 more.Quote:

Dunno the price now, but back in Aug06, OEM was approx $600-$650 for a piece of body kit. The side skirt came in pairs ofcourse :)Quote:

I got the full bodikit of mugen except the grill(my grill atm is replica one), coz that small part cost another $600 is too exp to me, haha
What brand is your grill and where did u purchse it? Does it do anything different to the stock grill?Quote:

Thanks for the info :thumbsup:Quote:

i guess they have the civics in full stock now
spt model with new 17inch looks very nice, welcome to join us~
I dunno why they didnt release 17"s with the 06 sport. Usually the top end models of other makes comes with 17"s but why not Honda? Oh well, i guess they wouldnt have a marketing option if they made the 06 model the bees knees. :(Quote:

WTF! wth are you doign with my car?
bBABAHAHHahahahaha.
jk.
Make sure you brake it in the way it's mean to once the brakes and clutch bed in : )
I've noticed alot more grip on powering out of corner exits with the Mich'l tyres.......either that for the wheels are heavier and the car isn't able to break traction.

Will keep it looking stock for a while, quite a drain on the family expenses as I paid cash for it.
Just in general, it should have 17"s stock regardless if i like the looks of it or notQuote:

if only thse 17's fit the euro...now that would look hot ...the civic looks great with the new wheels...the civic type R would be the 'pure sports car' and im pretty sure they would be bringing it in from customers and market demand for hot hatches!
Had ours for six months now, been really good...but...has been back to Honda twice now to get interior panels which keep popping out refitted (has to go back one more time, needed some parts from overseas). Boot was realigned too.
