turbo civic =o they should have done it long time ago =s
The air/top photo makes the CRZ look the toughest ever.
better spend money on speakers and subwoofer, and then iphone can do all the rest. If the head unit had a quality screen as an ipad mini retina, i would buy one, lolQuote:

i want a double din in my car but unsure what to get. i would like the mirror link on the din but its only available to android.
i want to use it for GPS mainly.
whats a good amp ?
i bought a 2nd hand type R 12" sub for cheap and it works.
Which Type R is it?Quote:

Alpine SWR-12D4 <- Latest one / 1,000 watt RMS
Alpine SWR-1242D <- Old one / 500 Watt RMS (If i remember correctly)
Alpine SWR-1243D
- 12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils
- Kevlar reinforced pulp cone with Santoprene rubber surround
- Cast aluminum frame with perimeter venting
- Frequency response: 23-500 Hz
- Power handling: 300-600 watts RMS (300 watts per coil)
- Peak power: 1,800 watts
- Sensitivity: 85 dB
- Top-mount depth: 6-3/8"
- Sealed box volume: 0.65-1.25 cu. ft.
- Ported box volume: 1.0-2.0 cu. ft.
Alpine SWR-1243D ?
Is it a slim sub or something?
Stock head unit aswell?
I would get something from the Alpine 'X Power' Range.
Only because it has a low level converter built in. So you can run the amp even with the stock head unit
Unless you dont mind other brands
But ideally you just need an Amp that has enough Watt RMS to match the sub.
Which in your case is 600 Watt RMS
WHO OWNS THIS CIVIC?!
http://www.the-lowdown.com/media/eve...p/IMG_7842.jpg
Planning to get double din
Yeah ill research more as I'm trying to save

Anyone know decent place(besides ebay) for NON-fibreglass, Mugen RR front, and Type R rear (also, the panel beater should know how to install reverse sensors I got from factory onto the rear right?)
Mix and matching could look a little funny (in my opinion).Quote:

I've only read bad things about mars performance, about poor fitment, but they seem to be the only one selling it at a decent price.. OTR quote $650 delivered to syd.Quote:

Also, I think I read it on here, but does the Mugen RR front, drop the car quite a bit lower vs. just mugen lip? (I hate dips on the road as it is).
I installed this head unit, have had it in the car for a couple of months and works fine. it was plug and play, ipod works good and i can skip tracks from the steering wheel. i think something had to be grounded cause i cant play videos and the tv anteena isnt connected, but it works alright. fits in seamlessly with the dash, ill take a picture tomorrow. ive had some hiccups with the gps software on it, i prefer to use my phone so not really a problem for me. theres probably better things out there for the money, does come with 1yr warranty
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HONDA-CIV...c7cd495&_uhb=1
It is a little lower and extends a little further forward (so when you dip or approach a slope without slowing down you'll probably scrape), just take a little care when you're driving around.Quote:

I've got a front bumper and side skirts from mars performance and there isn't any issues with it at all. The rear bumper I ordered from the US, instead of using the 4th brake light, use the red reflective tape that you see on the rear of the accord euro (which is what I'm planning on doing when I finally install it).
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to lolmclol again.Quote:

Where did you purchase the rear bumper may I ask?
If the damage is that bad a new rear bumper from the dealership is I think $300 (maybe $260) (unpainted), the rear lip I ordered from bayson-r on eBay, it ships from the US so it isn't really cheap I might add :-P.Quote:
Originally Posted by SharkChu

If you're going to fit the kit yourself, having an extra rear bumper with the lip will help, in the sense that you can stick the lip on there and let it set for a week before you install it properly, as I've read gravity isn't overly helpful when installing the rear lip.
I bought my RR kit from Mars Performance and fitment is spot on, just their customer service isnt very good. I specifically asked for the dual exhaust for the rear lip and they told me they had it in stock so i thought everything was good. Nek minut they told me it was out of stock and that it would take a month to restock and deliver.Quote:
Originally Posted by SharkChu
Strangely the following day i received the kit but it was only the single exhaust outlet for the rear lip.. I cbf returning it so i just sucked it up and kept it.
Thanks for the tip!
btw, has anyone put the side fender flares? It's just double sided tape though isnt it, safe for long term? haha
eg: http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...4D-A-RR1-2.jpg
also, anyone know where to get the LED for the bottom of the front RR kit? I found them a few months ago, when I was interested, now don't seem to find it on ebay either. Opinions on LED?
If you order the bumper from Mars Performance it includes the DRL LEDs for the front of the bumper. There are a few singaporean websites that offer it as well if you need extras.Quote:

lmao yeah I remember emailing them for a quote on shipping, took a few days for them to get back to me, with broken english :-PQuote:

Thanks, I'm now thinking how and what to use for the reflector, whether if its a tape on the back of the accord euro or similar to the ones you find on a bike where it has a plastic housing with the reflector material inside.
I haven't got the money to do things at the moment so it'll sit in a pending situation haha.
Or... having it as an actual brake light instead of the flashing one, that's okay too right? I remember reading something recently about that.
Well the tape, feels like it would peel off, but it easy easy to put on.. haha
Blends with the dash nicely

What do you guys reckon?
Or should I remove the rear oem wing and throw a ducktail with the above combo.
reply asap!

And I think the Type R rear sits a lot higher from the ground than the Mugen RR front hm..
mugen rr body with Carbon fibre ducktail. ahahah
Js would look nice with the type R bumper. my mone is like hiding inside the RR bumper.Quote:

getting carbon boot lid w/ duck tail on it and also seibon diffuser?
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6038/...db113d3d_o.jpg
Hmm.. yeah my only issue is just, if you look at the car from the side with a RR front, and Type R rear, due to the rear sitting higher, it will look pretty weird/funny, having a higher ass than your front. if you know what i mean.
Stock height with the RR front, shouldn't run into too much trouble yeah? I got some hideous dips around my local area, and my mugen front lip is almost skimming the surface.
EDit: or.. I can get a ings+1 rear bumper...
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/...612d45677a.jpg

Mugen RR front, Mugen Side, Ings+1 rear. (w/ OEM spoiler) atm. how would that look.
I had this idea, but the thing will be is that the lines of the car won't line up and it could look out of shape, again this comes down to personal opinion and what you want and like, but that's how I eventually looked at it.Quote:

I can only get ings+1 in FRP material, which I know to avoid.
Duck tail, would you guys say, carbon fibre, or just plastic
go for ABS or PPQuote:

Unless you need to drill holes for the ducktail??
OEM ones have about 6 holes (you only really need to use the two in the middle with some 3M tape in my opinion), more aftermarket replicas are just 3M tapeQuote:
