i like the clear look
hey, does anyone have a guide or tips to connecting the 4th brake light on a fd1?
Simpson, its Prak your bros friend
Hmmm from what I saw on my car, there's a small hole under the car which leads to the spare tyre area and you follow it to the cables where the brake lights work.
Or if you want go to the auto electrician at meadows rd (corner) and they can install for ya for 88bux
sup man !Quote:

Latest Mod
- Buddyclub racing spec headers mated with 3 inch mandrel bent piping, along with an oval Varex muffler and a kakimoto burnt tip
http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/...psa7d8735c.jpg
http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1580a9e.jpg
Other breathing mods, include Injen CAI and RBC intake manifold
The car feels like it has considerably more torque in the mid range, and revs much more freely :), Sounds deep and throaty on low revs, and extremely loud and high pitched on high revs. Overall great mod, recommended !!
Simmy; recommended to put on lip and let them install it after.
Easier for you.
Tell your mate to get his kit sprayed and instal after
Advice for the rear lip installation, use the spare tyre under the lip when installing, helps aligning it and all.
Looks good Abzii !! but wheres the vid
Hey guys, my 40k service is almost due and i heard its a major one. Peter Warren honda quoted me $480 for the whole service. Anyone else here has done the 40k service somewhere cheaper?
Got my car tuned today, found a few extra kws !! lol
http://madmick3006.com/ahngallery/up...2/feffc116.jpg
turbo charged your R18?
Take it to Top1 or Hanny's I'm sure they're much cheaper than that. I remember getting my fd done for about $200 for it's 40k service.Quote:

And I'm also running FLASHPRO. Not 100% sure but I may be the first R18a in Oz to get this too working, thanks to Benny and Jimmy at BYP.
This is only stage 1, I'll be running E85 later on this year and Ill probably bump the boost a little B-)
Taking a guess the kit set you back around 4k~4.5k, tuning and installing has been ontop. Congratulations on getting this up and running mate.Quote:

As you know K swaps for FD1 and FD2 would cost more than double what I just spent.
would installing a js racing catback exhaust decrease my low end torque?
LOL @ 'sacrifical lamb'! It wasn't too bad, its a good learning experience for all parties involved. Its hard being a first for something, there is alot of unknown. Luckily enough it all worked out in the end. No engine light and the car runs very well!
I'll let Steve fill you guys in with his turbo upgrades. In the meantime, the HONDATA FLASHPRO does work on the AUDM Honda Civic FD!! Shoot me an email for pricing or details - benny@bypracing.com
^ unsure but does have a nice sound to it

my one =)
stevil that's amazing!. Also how did you get a JDM r18a.?Quote:

Curtis265 excuse my terminology, JDM = AUDM for me ... LOL ! This is the standard Yanky Flashpro that is supplied for the USDM R18a's, Benny has been clever enough to get Flashpro talking 100% with my motor ! Launch control is set at 4,000rpm and my speedo will be recalibrated to 250kmh, currently it cuts out at 210kmh. TBH I was expecting the Turbo would pull hard but Im a bit shocked at how hard it pulls early in the rev range.
got vids of launch control? i wanna see :D
which turbin did you use?Quote:

hrhr beat you by a few seconds there Stevil :-P
Ah no wonder it spools early,theyre great for small engines and power outputs
very response
I'm quite impressed with the power gain from such a simple kit. By far, the best bang for buck! nearly 50kw gain and nearly doubling torque across the entire rev range!
Initially I gained 50kw too! 6psi, stock exhaust and garrett gt2860rs.Quote:

Ah nice, they are very response. Low/mid Torque is what you want :)
most common mod for FD in Australia

Hey Xenon what setup ya running for ya Air Intake, feels like my BOV is my goddamn glove box ! Think I need to relocate my pod.
Hey Duffy this turbo thing is madness, 4th gear roll on is like a slingshot ! lol, I've also got a larger section of piping thats left over to replace that one you have thats holding your MAF. Ill drop it off sometimes.
Sweet thanks and take me for a damn drive!Quote:

current setup is open pod again but with the one that came with the kit - similar to a 3a pod with big surface area. lengthened my intake pipe close to the headlight (relocated my battery) to get the maf as far away from the turbo as possible and now its running sweet.
had a couple runs against an s15 today on private race track and boy was i blown away...by how fast my car is. both times we did rolling start drop to 3rd gear pull and instantly my car would pull 2 lengths ahead and stay ahead the whole time. maxed out 4th gear at 175kph. unsure of mods on s15 but it looked pretty decked out.
Terpatorque bug
I've tried the external one and bolted the lip on aswell, without the tape it sags abit,
also noticed that the horn doesn't work no more, but never touched anything else but swap the foggie loom to the mugen bumper
Weld itQuote:

Simmy if you can take the bumper off the car for a day or over night, apply the tape, then apply a heat gun over it gently to warm the adhesive further, also don't be stingy with the tape, lather that bum up nomsaying also clean the surface properly with adhesive promoter or wax and grease remover.Quote:

cheers guys,
johnny, im going to be installing the sideskirts and rear tomorrow morning, if you can drop by and have a look :)
