I was asked which FD i had because someone was selling an FD1 intake.Quote:

AND! Paint your rims Yellow. Yellow and Silver go well.
(My Personal Opinion)

Ok that's why I didn't understand what you were saying. R18 and K20 are in no way similar. An R18 intake will not fit a K20 motor. Vice versa
Chrome lad
Can the FD use 17x9+22 at the front without hitting the coilovers or rubbing against anything?
Might consider looking into these..

Hmm ... Should be alright, would just run with some camber and make sure your guards are rolled, its the outer clearance that I'd be concerned with, I'm pretty confident inner clearance is fine.
Sweet. With 215/45/17 Rolled guards and bring the height back up. should be fine?Quote:

That's a good stretch. I run 235/40 on 9 and 9.5"
Hey guys does anyone know... is the RR front bumper or stock with mugen lip at stock height lower? or maybe its the same height?
I think the RR bumper is about 10mm lower, with the mugen lip I'd assume the same 10mm lower than stock (remember it has to look flush with side skirts so I'd go by that as an indicator).
Mugen RR bumper is about 1-2cm lower than a Mugen lip.
Ah ok thanks guys. Was thinking of changing from mugen lip to rr front but I'm alrdy scratching crazy with it =='
I've been thinking about this recently, I'm contemplating cutting out a base from the same material they use on sand-boards (of course reinforcing with a few layers), so instead of it cutting away at the bumper, it should glide off.Quote:

Are you serious? What tyres were you on? Thats the front. How about the rear one?Quote:

9.5" fitment
Someone rotate that. Can't do it on my phone.
Nice, hows the ride quality? Any drawbacks? Bags is one of my considerations.Quote:

That looks awesome dude. When's that new lip going on?Quote:

It also depends on what offset you have aswell.Quote:

Nice, air compressor take up much space? and how was the install?Quote:

half boot space, got my OEM boot tray covering half of my boot so doesnt look like i have a compressor there ;)Quote:

feed the air lines through the firewall. install was pretty quick my mate cable tucked for me so it looked nicer.
offset, just currently on type S wheels (17x7 +45)?? i forgot =/
Yeah its +45 for the Integra Type S wheels, I'm assuming he meant to say camber.
camber...currently natural atm...didnt install camber kit as i wouldnt be running too aggressive with stock wheelsQuote:

Still keeping thick treads but I want RE001 potenzas. They're discontinued and I don't like the tread patten on the new ones but might have to go with them
Niceeeee

Sounds good man. We'vegot an EG in Perth who is bagged. Fkn awesome when he lowers it.Quote:

air force, think its the luxury kit( was given a remote control) the kit had came with airforce shocks but were sold by the previous>previous owner on his car. was given cusco shocks for the rear so kinda airbag/coilovers(rear only)Quote:

Hey guys question. Would there be a problem running 225/40-17 rear and 235/40-17 front? Reason is my rears keep rubbing and I want to go a thinner width. If not what should I get?
225/40 on a 9" with stock height should be fine.Quote:

Yeah I did and because it scrubbed I got two sidewall bumps on one tyre :( so replaced the rears today with 215/45 and no more scrub! Nice stretch too
ahhhhh 215 on a 9" is sexy as!Quote:

But you lose a bit of grip coming from 235 (Or whatever you had) to 215.
Since you're going for the while Function thing.
Why dont you stiffen up the shocks but leave stock height?
Like Koni shocks or something? That has damper adjustments
235's on the front...traction like a mad dogggg
torque steer to da max.
stock suspension componentry is comfortable at the moment, don't feel the need to spend that money (yet)
brakes are on their way out - looking to buy DC5 Brembos. Win.
Oh yeah, got new shoes. Forgot to post em!
