Hi guys,
With the new civic whats the biggest wheels you can have with the stock suspension? I'm not looking at doing any mods other than new wheels and audio.
20 x 9 on the rear 20 x 8.5 on front with 36 offset and 35 profile 245 and 225
How good is the OEM rear parking sensors? Is it just an audible warning? Is there no change one the dash/console?
no change on dash, its located on the top of your rear-view mirror. It sort of tells u how many meter left till u hit the back of your car
2 pics 1 older 1 of the install but its come along way since then... and of the dash b3fore it goes to painting

how much would that cost now?
honda's chrome exhaust is about $70 i think.
by the way, where can i get mugen/replica bodykit in adelaide?
i think ebay is the only place lol.. or go to honda maybe lol

check this ebay store:

either go mugen original which im looking at getting or the fuji catback system.Quote:

Technically it would be $100 for 4 since the box came with 2 bonus small bulbs. I bought it from Repco or Autobarn.. can't remember.Quote:

1. Can't decide if I want to go just the muffler (<$700) or all the way with the full catback. Will buy when I go back to Singapore/Malaysia in December.Quote:

Sorry for very convoluted description there!
Btw if any of you guys are interested in the HIDs, they are installed by people who are very professional and I saw them repairing work on someone else's poorly installed HIDs (that had the controller wrapped in a plastic bag and sealed with tape!). PM me if you want their details- they're in Sydney btw.
Does your HID reflect all over the place since we dont have projectors? And how does it look from the oncoming traffic? Blinding or crisp cutoff?
Ive decided to go with mugen cos ive read reviews that it goes well with the stock pipings. And mugen would have put alot of effort into R&D so thats why they just released muffler only. If they found catback to be a plus, then they would have released one for our FDs.
http://members.optushome.com.au/~shimian8/MugenKit3.jpg
Trying to emulate this look. Kinda think it looks hot with the spoiler and the rear lower bodykit. That there is the mugen xos.
1. To be honest I don't know but from what I can see, it's not as wide angled as this other FD in my area which has very very bright HIDs with a very huge spread. Mine is still relatively normal and doesn't come off as being outrageously bright/modified.Quote:

3. That looks exactly like the Mugen Civic I saw on the weekend (at the place I got my HIDs installed). He had the full genuine Mugen kit + Silencer muffler (not catback) installed. He imported himself from HK but ran into some trouble with customs and had to pay quite a bit of tax on it.
Its the only mugen sports exhaust on www.mugen-power.com for our FD. Its muffler only going for about $1100AUD. This is a straight through.
Im looking to get just spoiler and rear lower for now since i have modulo kit. Will see how it looks first but hopefully it should be ok. Then followed by muffler
:( I dont like the silver moss with the kit look.Quote:

Yes there is a twin loop one from asia but i dont know much about it.Quote:

Im going for the Mugen muffler for the fact that it will look different (single tip) whereas Fujitsubo looks exactly like stock. And Mugen would have put a lot of R&D into this system for our FD. I read somewhere that it gives about 8hp more with everything else stock, but thats not why im getting it.
Does the muffler alone increase hp? I was under the impression that it doesn't actually do anything realistically.
With regards to what you said, does that mean there are TWO DIFFERENT MUGEN PRODUCTS? I could've sworn the guy I met said the twin loop muffler was designed for our FD1 in particular- rather than just the general "fit all" style things which I've found on Google. He also mentioned it's bolt on but not cat-back.
I'm also interested in the Mugen one- and am planning to buy end of yr =] Just need to wait and see.
There are some members on other forums who claims it does give some HP with dynos provided. Believe them or not, for me, the muffler looks sexy with the bodykit and sounds pretty good too. I mean, there should be some improvements cos its a straight through muffler.
Yes, there are 2 different products. There is a twinloop where it looks like the X-Force muffler (with the pipe that loops back around) and this one
http://members.optushome.com.au/~shi...genMuffler.JPG
The picture is the one from Mugen website going for about $1100, also the one im getting. The pictured one is plug and play. Not sure about the twinloop one.
poison! poison!
I have asked my cousins to investigate the local price in Malaysia.. shall report back asap.
I got a quote from pedders for their sport ryder springs to lower my (yet to arrive) civic vti. The quote was for $600 fitted. I know ozzy tires does kings fitted for $400. Are pedders sports ryder springs any good? Is there any reason to pay an extra 200 just for this brand?
why don't you go with H&R or eibach instead? got mine around 450 if not mistakenQuote:

Only because I havent found somewhere that stocks/installs them.Quote:

I think my preferences would be a fairly stiff springs/suspension.
Pedders specifically said they don't do any other brands.
went to a local shop.. won't cost you too much tho..
lookup in the states for some options.. in oz there aren't much options apparently..
just an update... got 4 more sets of splits for the car... also 2 more amps.. that makes 8 amps.. 10 sets of splits now...

Thanks for looking :honda:
very nice ride. Just wondering about your left exhaust pipes. Are you running an actual system or the left dual pipes are fakes for looks?
Also your footrest, is that a full replacement or a screw on?
^ I also wonder if that's a real exhaust system.
Does the CTR start button actually work or just for show?
It looks very nice what you've done though. I can see you went all out with the Mugen gear! I can see you also went to some kindof conversion to move the turn signals to use the mirror-mounted ones, and then you put some kind of vents on the side of the car M3 style?
The start button does work. But i prefer to get the pivot security version. That one you need to input a code (2 numbers) by pressing the start button the amount of times. E.g. if number is 25, you press twice, wait, then 5 times before your car starts.Quote:

left exhaust connected with right exhaust. footrest is full replacement, anyone want buy my stock footrest ? :D joking !!!Quote:

The Pivot Security sounds complicated, but its secure. Even if you have the key, you will not be able to start the car unless you know the combination. Unlike CTR start button, you have key, off you go :eek:
Looking to get the footrest too. Hopefully in a few weeks. Looks sexy

You guys have some really nice FDs :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I'm amazed that a US person found the OzHonda forums... I guess it shows the international appeal of the OzHonda site!
Anyhow, that looks pretty sweet. I'm not too much of a fan of the USDM equivalent to our FD (the tail lights look a bit odd to me, and the front is very conservative), but the coupe is hot!
I was impressed at the tuning scene when I was in Brisbane a couple years ago, so I decided to Google "Honda forum + Australia", and apparently this is the biggest and best :p
PS - I'm Canadian. :wave:
lol mad car
OIC! lol.. I thought Canda had the Acura CSX which is the same as our FD? Or was it some other name? *shrugs*Quote:
