the spokes dont go to the edge of the rim its gonna look like 16's...
just thought id give u the heads up before u get them...
i was just about 2 say that!! wen i was looking for rims, this was a common problem, even with RS GT's the 18's looked like 16's coz the spokes would fold or cave in before the edge making them seem smalller, especially on FD's wich look like bigger cars, u should really watch out for this issue!!!Quote:

for those who change muffler only on FD/2, did u upgrade the pipe to the flange from stock to 2.25 or anything bigger than stock? Not sure if this is possible as the flange is made for stock size. Or should i keep it stock?
thanks for the advice, good thing you guys told me!
bugger, i'll need to look for some other ones then.
erorxxx: where did you get your projectors from and how much if you don't mind me asking? :)
got any pics?
My new toy. Dual 4" Remus. Raining outside so took some garage pics.

sound much diffrent?
Got the installer to rev for me. Its a nice deep sound. In the car, it doesnt drone. Its like 10-20% louder than stock with windows closed. But at idle, standing outside, its about 20% louder.
No low end loss that i could feel. The car seems to respond a bit better.
Thinking of upgrading the rest of the pipes to the CAT to 2.25 and change the 2 resonators.
u can really see the difference in paint between ur body kit and car...
why didnt u go all out and get the whole exhaust system done...
does it sound nice..
cos it was gonna cost me another 1k. Poor man here.
I was gonna see if it made any difference with muffler only. And so far, its great. Sound wise and more responsive. I dont think fuel consumption will do me good. Im happy reving.
Paint: In real person, you cant see the diff. Its prolly cos i used flash.
wtf $1000 more for piping? go 2 a new place bro, i was quoted $500 for my whole system 2.25" cat back mandrel bent SS system thats including a 3Aracing muffler

yeh but i think he was gonna go brand name such as fujitsubo...
oh, well diffrent story, that little branded symbol of fujitsubo, or BC, or ne of those guys that they put on there, triples the value, custom makes are sometimes just as good bro
i will definitely call around to get quotes on upsizing to stainless steel 2.25 mandrels + 2 resonators.
how much the remus set you back? where did you get it from?
$950 from Performance exhaust
wow, never knew exhausts were that much.Quote:

i wanted this particular remus muffler. I agree, i could have gone for the buddy or fujitsubo full catback for the extra $300-400. I decided to go custom. Start off with muffler then slowly change the rest if required.
what a joke...sorry but that is a bit extreme for a muffler...Quote:

oh nice...how many kw do those bulbs give?

Well the package said I can make the civic go from 103kW to 189kW :)Quote:

On another note, rk 86 wa you're right it does look like it's slanted.
right one lower than the left
thats what i thought when i first saw it. But the guy showed me how the kit is not even, the gap curves inwards. He covered the gap up and showed me and yes it does look straight. Only way to be sure, is to use a spirit meterQuote:

I just fell in love with those tips. Looks really big on the car.
I just noticed the "Civic FD2" and the "Mugen FD2" on your profile Shimian.
Ahh lol. I went badge happy at one stage. Might get rid of everything and put a red H.Quote:

lol shimian..
from someone that have seen his car in the past..
actually the rear lip's colour matches the rest of the car, only the rear bumper must have been resprayed or something
he told me he bought the car like that?! :)
VTEC u can hear. but only rev'd it a few times.Quote:

My Civic
MUGEN kitted, no front grille or rear wing

that is all :beer:
ownage....
Well, here's my golf cart:
http://i28.tinypic.com/20zzjx1.jpg
The grille badge isn't permanently on... am still deciding whether I want the badge on the grille.
http://i30.tinypic.com/23ij71e.jpg
Car has full lip kit, grill and spoiler.
http://i25.tinypic.com/nlzh52.jpg
So what do you think? With or without the gril badge?
http://i32.tinypic.com/282p539.jpg
http://i31.tinypic.com/rbdv2w.jpg
Debadged trim - muhahahah
And one more:
http://i31.tinypic.com/11l7t3o.jpg
Next will most likely be a custom exhaust setup. Then eventually when the rubber starts wearing thin, some jdm rims. Was going to lower it, but am scraping a lot as is :P
And thats my golf cart so far. Let me know what you guys think about the mugen grill badge. I'll probbaly put it on... eventually.
Good old camera phone.
two tone = FTW
It actually looks good debadged. Imagining the CIVIC one removed too. So tempted to remove my this weekend.
Regarding grille badge, i was thinking of putting a decepticon badge. Had a thought that it might look too ricey :cool:
well since you got the spoiler badges on, might as well keep the grille one on.
kinda makes it look 'whole', otherwise take them all off.
yeh i might take my VTI off too, is it hard to debadge?
lol debage is easy. i did it with a hair dryer + some sowing thread
just heat up the badge until the glue gets soft, pull the thread along the underside of the badge, just use some adhesive remover on any glue chunks left
ahh too easy.Quote:

youll enjoy the new badges for now. I stuck on "FD2" and "MUGEN" and now i think it looks too much. Even the H i think looks retarded.
yes sydney cruise!
Yeh i'm up for a FD cruise :)
melb FD cruise? :P
so cheap sh*t like xforce is better?Quote:

So what do we do to get an FD cruise happening in Sydney. LOL!
no offence at all
i know thats the truth, its exactly what i told him.
i wont spend it either.
but he likes the noise from remus since the start and thats what he likes.
so just let him be :)
Not sure, but we need an organiser...Quote:

ok to clarify.
I paid all up $930. This included the muffler, installation and mandrel bend stainless steel 2.25". Yes its expensive for a muffler, but i always loved the sound of a remus and also as mentioned, fell in love with the tips.
Its personal preference. Some people pay $100 off ebay for a cannon and some like me go for remus.
im also up for FD syd cruise :P
yes and it all comes down to personal preferences in the end!
whatever satisfies you :thumbsup:
is that possible for the civic? ive never seen it tried before. I would love to chrome window my car as i also want the luxury car look dmx as you know :P.Quote:

ahhh ok. I've found that the speakers in the civic are good enough.Quote:

get a slight boot rattle but its not too offensive from outside the car. am yet to determine exactly where its coming from. seems to be in the boot, to the sides.
sound from inside the car is sweet, might get a dedicated amp for the sub and use the existing amp to power the stock speakers.
crackers boot rattle = somethign savage lol 1000rms duz that 2 yah
yes it can, but need something to research first. i saw someone did to FD, but instead doing the whole window trim, he just did 3/4 up to mirror only which is i think so wierd.Quote:
