Going to find the ducktail at the wreckers locally.
What you guys think.
Sounds like a good plan! :D
Personally I won't run DRLs because it'll attach unwanted attention, as far as getting them else where I know a few Singaporean websites that have them, but I'll have to find them tomorrow at work.
Okay, if you got them I shotgun, if not, means it's a sign for me not to purchase the DRLs hahaha.Quote:

You don't need to replace any clips when you install any of it and anything extra you do need to install it, should be included!Quote:

Another question, in regards to Carbon Fibre bonnets, with the vents, that stuff legal? I feel like it comprimises the integrity of the car, so it's like much more unsafe. Lol, found a relatively cheap priced Mugen RR bonnet that's in carbon fibre
If you want it road worthy, you'll need an engineers certificate and so you know most of those bonnets have a carbon fiber skin, with a fiberglass skeleton (nothing wrong with that).Quote:

Okay! staying away, CF side skirts, or boot etc is fine though right?Quote:

Technically yes, but I can't 100% that sorry lol.Quote:

HYBI ducktail ftw!
getting my car touched up this weekend. hopefully da rainz stays away.

Anyone know whats the stock size of the sway bars are? Front and Rear
And if i upgrade mine. Will i have to change the endlinks or will factory one fit?
If I remember correctly its 24mm for the front sway bar and 11mm for the rear sway bar.Quote:

Thanks.Quote:

^ tempting .. But new shoes are lower on my to do list.
Question.. Looking for a double din headunit to put in, going to visit my local audio store tomorrow, anyone have any suggestions? Budget around $500 or so.
Tempting for new shoes too but Christmas has taken its toll on the cards. :(Quote:

Pioneer AVH-X3500DAB? What you guys think
I dont like that theres alot of buttons on the face.Quote:

for $500 unless you buy one second hand
My cousin has a alpine iDA-X305S in his S15
sounds amazing and features are awesome. easy to use.
One down side is that it doesnt read CDs lol
Okay I bought the pioneer avh-3500dab, with double din fascia, hardness and adaptors for the usb/aux/steering wheel controls, reversing camera. For $1k, incl. installation.
Not bad I guess. abit on the $$ side, but these fellas provided some excellent service.
Hows the screen on it? I have an old school Pioneer P3300BT and the screen is terrible in sunlight. Maybe it is also due to our dash slightly facing upwards. And also the type of panel. I wish I bought a 7" display. Maybe its time to upgrade to AVH-X4500BTQuote:

Feck guys you make me wanna get a screen in mine too. But I would never use it. Aux is plenty for me
I had the Ida-x300 ages ago. Loved it! Then I got the upgraded Ida-x305 in my next two cars. Great iPod connectivity and ability to switch between red and blue colour scheme.Quote:

Well its only $100 difference when you wait for the 30% off at JB hifi. I would go 7" as it looks better. I didn't get 7" at the time because it was a huge difference. Keep in mind this was like atleast 3 years ago when double dins weren't as cheap as today. Its ashame it doesn't come with DAB but I wouldn't think the add on would be that expensive.Quote:

I feel like it will take all day for this.
Any tips?
Btw, when removing the bumper, the bodykit is screwed into the front bumper, and it looks like the screw goes though the fender wall. Does that mean I have to unscrew the front mugen lip off, before I can detach the front bumper? (Hope that makes sense)

hey guys got Js racing exhaust for sale with extension that will fit FD1/2 on sale :)
Hey guys, just recently tried installing a UR RSB on my FD2. But the RSB bolt hole for the endlink is too small. I was like, wtf?!!
Seems to be like a mill off and the part I ordered is for FD1/FD2. Do our FD2's have bigger stocklinks then FD1s? and I cant seem to find what the actual size of that endlink bolt is as I will pror get it drilled to fit it.
Thanks
Measure it..?
buy a pair of calipers hairycade
Also sounds like ultra racing quality..
Ultra racing must be in-superior, compared to the JDM brand Cusco.Quote:

Just drill. Anybody want a custom made 18mm RSB ?, has no brackets but they can be bought from Whiteline for around $50. No bracket as I broke 1 at the racetrack and I recently upgrade to the 23mm Cucso.
guys, does anyone know good panel beater shop in west Melbourne?
Thanks
