strut king do one, but I didn't really like it as it doesn't match the mugen pedals, if that's what you have.
I got my pedals from strut king, but I ended up with the american footrest for some reason..Quote:

Thanks for heads up! No pics but mods look good, if only I saw this earlier haha. Ended up getting a brand new 9th gen civic insteadQuote:

at this stage im probably going to find some coils for the car and get some wheels for it. might car a catback from the 8th gen seeing as they all fit. Waiting until more parts come out since its such a new car though
If you're looking at getting BC BR Coilovers then Contact GarasiAuto ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Garas...882176?fref=ts )Quote:

Best part is. They can get it within 3 working days as of the other garages were it takes up to two weeks.
My car is even on their page as an Example for a Clean Drop hehe

but shes not picking up... I want to try convince her with give me money instead of going through insurance. lol
If she does then Type R front bumper :)
I actually raised the front up a little. Had trouble trying to Full Lock when turning.
Even with 215/40
You're lucky she left a note for one... but not picking up is another thing. This is why my FD rarely (if ever) makes it out shopping! If it does, I park a good 15 minute walk away :PQuote:

Haha I didn't actually! Instantly recognised your car since I see it driving around but didn't bother to give it a proper look lol. Would it buff out by any chance? Or is there paint missing?Quote:

Well my poor old track flogged fd1 finally cracked the shirts this morning, gave it a boot full and 4th gear exploded ! Yep only took 2.5yrs and 21 trackdays, anyway hopefully I can get a another gearbox installed asap.
do the intake instead, you'll get a better yolo sound without attracting any visual attention from the police.Quote:

I would listen to lolmclol and do Intake mod first. Intake mods makes the car pretty loud.
Even with my exhaust I can still hear my intake.
Im running a Varex Oval Muffler with a Resonator Removed.
And its pretty damn loud lol. I can hear the car cruising on low revs 3 blocks away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBe7OZIRECg
Front looks ok but the rest of the body looks like arse. Mugen will need to pull something special to make it look decent. Hope the accessory is compatible with our FD...lolQuote:

I raced one and surprisingly i kept up. Didnt look like it had much done. Probably Front mount and exhaust.
I was about his rear door once he hit boost but had him first 2 gears. This was on Station Road near BrimBank Shopping Centre.
That road has heaps of cops so I didnt want to push it as hard
Any particular intakes or are they all the same in the end?Quote:

Im not sure what would be against your warranty. Read the policy? I had a twinloop muffler
on the car a few months ago and when I got rear ended the tip got cracked and my
Insurance paid me out for it. Sent me a cheque for a brand new Twin Loop but went for the Varex instead hehe
But those mufflers are easy in install/Uninstall. 2 Bolts on the flange and it slides out.
Same with the stock muffler. Not sure about the 9th Gen though.
It does drone a bit on the freeway but most the time my music is too loud to even notice the exhaust.
But loud 4 cylinders rev matching while downshift... Is an awesome sound.
Which model is your 9th Gen?
Yeah oem gearbox, exedy hd clutch, I was bit rough the week before out at Eastern Creek for a twilight trackday. Temps were hot and I was down shifting from 5th to 4th at around 190kmh to set up for turn 1, I reckon heat and stress probably stuffed it. It gave zero warning
Haha will do! I'll highbeam you and wave.Quote:
Originally Posted by Honda_FD

Yeah I'll give the dealer a call and see what they think about the intakes and all. Should probably call insurance up and ask abou coils as well
Oh that's alright then! My BMW before this used to drone but it was barely noticeable. All that insulation probably helped a bit though lol
No revmatching bc auto :(
anyone with a sub experiencing boot rattle? It seems to be coming from lower half of the boot when looking from outside. Im suspecting its the wheel well. Ive stuffed socks/cloths everywhere and it doesn't seem to reduce rattle. Any suggestions?

Or get Dynamatt. SSV in Thomastown are having a boxing day sale. Might be able to grab a door kit for about $30.
I got a door kit and used it for my parcel shelf. There was enough sheets to do 2 and a half layers.
Another common cause is the license plates. Try to bend it a little?
Aftermarket. Doors and rear shelf all dynamatted. Licence plate is good. I just looked up some info and it could be the boot latch. Ill have to sus it out tomorrow.Quote:

In regards to the subwoofer comment, i had extreme rattle from the parcel shelf, however it sounded like it was coming from the licence plate. ended up fixing the licence plate up and i could still hear it. so i removed the parcel shelf and put double sided foam weather stripping tape all around the parts that could make contact. now i can go as bassy as i want without any troubles :)
Cheers. My shelf has been dynamated. I think I figured out where the sound is coming from. Its from the trunk air vents. I will pull apart the boot tomorrow and put felt/cloth tapes all over.
Merry Xmas
Good to hear. let me know how you go. Just in case mine starts to play up haha
plus can someone give me a pq point so i can start a thread?
Whats a PQ Point? lol.Quote:

I've been trying to source out a V-Limited Lip from an STI for about 3 months now. but no luck. :(
But I dont know if I should add more crap on making it lower. Driving as it is makes me
shit bricks cause I'm hitting my front Frame all over the place.
Is it on bags? Doesnt even look like it can turn
The rear wheels are bit much but I like it haha. Clean as though!
Thats the look I want to go for. Minus the -128947124 offset wheels
I prefer this kit without the spoiler and aftermarket headlights.

Few posts back I wrote about a rattle that was doing my nuts in. Finally fixed.
It was the trunk air vent. All I did was spent $6 at bunnings for some felt tape. This tape is light and thin like wrapping paper. So it can still flap :)
http://www.bunnings.com.au/felt-adhe...13408_p3970145
Cut the tape to size and stick to both sides of the flapper. There are 4 in total (2 for each side).
Extremely easy to do and now the vibration is gone. I only have dynamats on my front doors and rear shelf. None in the boot lid or trunk.

Hope this helps those with this problem. You can check if you have this problem by playing a high bass song and stand outside on the 2 rear corners of your car (all doors closed)
I dont think 8th Gen has them. My boot has 1,100 Watt RMS and the vibration isnt noticeable.Quote:

Either way, it is now fixed. No rattle anywhere around my car - WIN
OHHH!! LOL I got you mixed up with *DAN* and his 9th Gen haha My bad.Quote:

i have thought about it as well
I need feedback!:
1. Mugen face-lift Front Lip + Mugen RR Rear Lip (single exhaust) + Ducktail spoiler.
OR
2. Mugen RR front + RR back + Ducktail spoiler.
Shipments for the Mugen RR are about to come in, just need to decide what to get..
so help me decide!!! TY
First one sounds good!
Just tricks your car into thinking you're pressing the accelerator pedal harder. Don't need to spend a hundred bucks or so to reduce moving my foot an extra inch or 2.Quote:

Isnt yours a 9th Gen?Quote:

Then Im selling it to him. If he changes his mind I'll let you know
pics of the dmg clips? i had something similar. my panel beater glued it for me but during time i kept on hitting it cause being low (on springs) but everything changed when i had a minor accident and needed a new bar (mainly fenders) cause the clips werent going inQuote:
