Any thoughts? still deciding on Mugen side skirts or Type R side skirts to go with a js racing lip. Dont really like my red wheel nuts. Any suggestions?

Nice! What wheels are those? and fitment specs?

Type R hands down. I rkn the red nuts looks nice. Red+silver accent colours e.g honda badge.
If I could re pick my kit, it'd be a type r withs J's lip.

Also, apparently the USDM Civic SI's can fit into the FD's for a reasonable price to if you can get away with cheap shipping.
PS:Black8thgen, this is from your time. lol

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...t-FD2-Sway-Bar

the oem endlinks is fine.. its where the endlink connects to the lower controller arm that is weak.. the metal where the endlink is attached is thin and can break off from the lower controller arm if alot of extra stress is applied.. i had on the cusco 23mm RSB which is thicker and heavier than other RSB

Ah, ok.
So whats the solution around it w/o welding?
Id presume, a strut bar in the boot and maybe a 16/19mm RSB?

Hahha yeah. I think the RR is a bit too common but yours looks awesome in white! I originally chose the red because of that exact reason but i think it stands out a bit too much for my liking,

Woow! Nice car bro! One of the cleanest FD i have seen on this forum (No offence to others)
Do you have any trouble running 9" wide wheels? never seen 18x9+32 on an FD

get smaller size RSB.. i havent heard problems with 16/19mm

if u do get cusco, try not to hit the rear wheels hard onto curbs and such.. other option is get the metal reinforcement plates (e.g Corsports USA) that reinforce the thin metal on the lower controller arm where the endlinks connects onto from the RSB

the oem endlink itself is fine, its got a small rubber 'CV boot' what has fluid in it which makes it flexible to move

so in my case, i hit the rear wheel on the passenger side on a curb when turning left and it was pretty hard.. with that hit, the force on the left rear wheel went across the RSB and broke the metal connected to the endlink off the lower controller arm on the right hand size (driver side)... i noticed it when everytime i turned, i would hear a clunk at the rear wheels and saw that the endlink would be hitting the controller arm... and yes with the endlink not connected, i notice a difference when turning.. understeer

Yeah but because you have a clean black ride. Your wheels are the focal point, the balance between the cleanliness of the body with the semi-loud wheels is good. In my opinion, if you silver dipped the top part of the grill would make the balance perfect.
Soz, graphic design expertise popping up. lol =P

Sounds good, no need to look for Aftermarket Endlinks then, Will prob just get the 19mm RSB (Less hassle).
Ill skip the FSB, as I would like a tad more oversteer to balance out the steering of the front & back.

Maybe invest in a Rear top Strut brace (Corsport/ or just a Ultra Racing)

Seriously, what would I do w/o you guys! =)

What's the stock RSB size? 19 seems small for an aftermarket
03-05-2013, 11:37 AM
JOhnnyFD

stock RSB is 11mm, its a twig.. 19mm is aiight.. u dont want to risk the hassle of cusco 23mm unless u have additional support on the endlinks for peace of mind
03-05-2013, 11:53 AM
Stevil

My 18mm RSB is 700% stiffer the oem 11mm rsb, 19mm Cusco or whatever make is perfect. FD's arent a heavy car. The 23mm would be alright but endlinks and extra re inforcing would be wise.

700 is correct, somoene know;s what they're talkinga bout :P (assuming they're both solid)

No additional support plate is required on endlink to LCA. I ran Cusco Front and Rear 28mm and 23mm sway bars for over a year including 6+ track days and is fine, No Bends, No Stress Marks - and I can assure you the car went through the paces. Only addition I had was hard race endlinks.

FD Stock sway bars are apprently hollow, si even a 16mm solid RSB is a massive upgrade. I think the cusco ones are overkill for my preference, as i dont plan on doing track days. But good to know it can handle the paces with 23mm bars EGB.

The AUDM FD can use the USDM Civic Si' air intake system and vice versa.
Everything around the engine is same. they just have different internals/Head and computer.

Intake will fit fine

Why K&N Though?

Ive read somewhere in the forum the k$n filter is neglible. As you can barely hear any difference in engine riar, if do, i think its just the placebo effect. Its coz of our enclosed airfilter which sorta works like a CAI. Better off using the moolah for a proper intake system. I too considered K&N, but not wirth the $60.

bigger isn't better for performance ,don't confuse that

if the left and right wheels are linked too rigidly, they don't have independance which can be harmful

it's negligible because I'd say taht in an intake design, the filter represents around what.. 10% of the total restriction? It's not a lot

I have a K&N Drop in filter for the Civic Sports 2.0L (K20Z2) and to be honest you cant really feel or hear the difference.
For $60 I'd rather buy a A3 Pod Filter (Best Air Flow Pod Filter Proven At AutoSalon. Beats K&N and other leading brands)
and do a homemade SRI. You will get a little bit of heat soak but if its only a street car you wont really know the difference.

Buy a airbox from your local wrecker and just hack it up.

Nah, none in au. As curtis said. Might be some specialist stores that do that in malasia n singapore. Definately seen one in singapore. But were talking custom job level. Like red led lights in the halo projectors, which is highly illegal here. I can dig up the website wen i get back home if ur really keen. To be honest, ud better off getting a 'projector' set of lights. Theres 2 new styles n 2 older styles ive seen. Have a look at the civic fd malaysia club on facebook.

As said above, You will need JDM DC5R Brembos, Pads are same as R32/33/34 GTR brembo. S2000 300mm rotors and 3 mm spacer between rotor and hub to space rotor to centre of caliper.

700 for Caliper
200 Rotor
250 Pads
Spacer - Washers, or metal plate

Best combo you are ever gonna need.

Question: Just had my mugen lip kit painted, and installed.

just realised, the paint isn't 100%.

The same colour code etc, but the lip is abit more darker, and the car itself , the paint is abit faded.

What can be done??

repaint it.

the only way to match correctly is to get a computer to analyse the colour and mix

however it can still mismatch if it's badly sprayed (in the case of metallics/pearls)

No poke whatsoever, you need around +35 or less offset for it to poke i believe. As above stated spacers are a good investment. I got a set of 15mm bolt ons for sale if youre interested.

Go show them and they should be able to work something out. Im an Apprentice spraypainter and my boss
wouldnt even let something like that be sent out.

How would they fix it? Strip and repaint? Or just repaint on top, I guess I'll go ask. =/ Or hope that over time the colour will even out? ahah.

Well when he was installing it for me, he found that my left rear shocks were leaking, surprisingly since its only been 2 years exactly when I got the car new.

Getting serviced on friday, hope they dont charge an arm and a leg for new shocks.

17x8 +35 will be too weak. It will look pretty shitty.

Question for you - are your guards rolled? You'll need a flat roll to get some 'flush' fitting rims.

I suggest if you want 'flush' but no hassle with guards and fender work... 17x9 and around 30 offset I reckon is where to be at.. with a 215/45 or 225/45 tyre should be okay with guards rolled flat and a touch of neg camber. Only thing with this is that not many jap rims come in that width and offset... It will mainly be like 17x9 +35 or above.

I personally would rather get the set of rims to be the specs I want, and not run spacers but heaps of ppl here have run spacers and loved it

700 for Caliper
200 Rotor
250 Pads
Spacer - Washers, or metal plate

Best combo you are ever gonna need.

I ran this setup.

I just calculated that offset for 17x9 +30 which equates to +40mm outward. So we have 40mm before were on the fender when not rolled?
and rolling the fenders, is it true we wont be able to clip on our wheel arches anymore? Coz we cant use the clips connecting them to the guard?

its worth it if the meister is good price

prefer to run weaker meister than cheapo wheels that are flush lol

17x9 +30 will probably poke a little depending on tyre choice if you're at stock height. you need the neg camber to neatly get it tuck underneath the guards

and yeah if you roll flat on the fronts you'll have to cut the guard lining up probably. Rears will be fine

And to above^: yeah for sure.. quality over anything.. or you could just wait it out and keep saving for that perfect set of wheels.

Yeah. If i was going to save up and get the wheel of my choice i would probably get staggered. I want something flush with a little bit of poke.
And I've got HKS HiperMax coilovers going in the car soon. So i have to get that done first
