Unless i get FN2R seats but too expensive
^ thats why you get the FN base model rear seats as they are a 3 seater rear.

as for the front seats, you will need to cut off your original bracket and weld it onto the FN seats as Duffy did for his FN seats and my Evo 7 seats.
the sensor, still lights up but bride has made an item that blocks off the light.
Yeah. But i dont want to get rid of the airbags unless i find another set with airbags in them. Cause if anything happens and i get into an accident. insurance wont cover meQuote:

these HTS shocks are the top of the range from TOKICO and well supported by Lexus and MX5 owners, if your still running OEM shocks then these are a huge upgrade.
Hey guys.. How much are 17" Work CR Kai's rims worth? found some REALLY cheap
17x8+32
17x9+38
$800
sounds pretty average. CR Kais dont go much and some reason they just lose value after being new and all.Quote:

looks Good Baygon ! I gather they're 17x8's +35 ? are you running a spacer also ?
How did you paint the tyrewalls?
That red decal on the brake light, copy cat =P
Looks good! Thinking taking mine off cause doesn't match my fd2r rear parcel
They're 17x8 +45 and i got 15mm spacers on so that'll make them 17x8 +30Quote:

I have 235/40/17 on the front that came with the rim. near new condition. Should i just put those on the rears and just get
two tyres for the front
I'm running 215. Wish I was running 225 for the rear.Quote:

Okay. Thanks. I think ill go 215 front and rear.Quote:

The bigger wheel (17x9+38) should go in the front right?
Cause fwd and for better grip?
Would be hard pressed to find decent tyres in 225/40r17 lolQuote:

Advice..! ty.
So 17x8+31 FrontQuote:

I had that problem when i bought the Car brand new from Honda.Quote:

So i went to a Brake Specialist and got them to Change Pads to Bendix Pads and Machine the Disk.
Solved the problem straight away.
So try telling Honda machine the disk for you.
Yep that will fit 100% presumed your guards are rolled and if you don't mind running that stretch.Quote:

Johnny i assume your not too low right cause of the 45 profile? When I started going really low (<10cm) i'd scrub heaps on the 45s.
^ yea currently on 1.5" drop springs. might go lower profile later on due to some stuff coming in soon i hope :L
make sure pics Honda_FD!! :)
Well guys recently i took a gamble and bought a Mugen type R front lip from Malaysia hoping that it would fit, it came in today and guess what? IT FITTS WOOOO the downside is that it costed me a fortune lol
Pics below:

time to save up lol
I tried test fitting the rim with 255 tyres (215/40/17 Coming in tomorrow) but i can see the the Plastic protecting the Fuel Line is getting rubbed against.Quote:

I just test fitted them with the chunky fat 255 tyres. My 215/40/17 tyres will arrive tomrrow.Quote:

Aries Did you ever remove your rear plastic liners? My rim is VERY close to it and i think it rubs a little. my friends told me to remove but it doesnt look safe cause of the fuel linesQuote:

i think somewhere in this thread stig or someone cut a hole in it then taped it around or something like that - i can't really remember exactly what the process was, but if i find the posts i'll put up a link
I just let them rub through. Never had a problem
i cut a hole in it. (only cause i was sick of the noise) then tapped it back up. taken the rim off several times and its still tapped up. this was years ago.
all good.
you still selling or decided to keep your beast Puffy?
