Offset is a bit high but in person the poke is awesome. Glad my didnt go
lower offset otherwise i would have to spend more money rolling my guards & ect. ect. ect.
Im using an Optima Yellow Top. Dry Cell.
Not really necessary but my standard battery that came with the car couldnt handle my sound system
so i had to get something with alot more power.
Shit thing about Dry Cells is that you CANNOT jumpstart a car lol
But the battery lasts ages. Left my acc on at a party with music pumping for a few hours and next day
car started up first go.
9.5 and not rubbing/rolled? cool.
Stock guards. Natural Camber. Stiff Coilovers.Quote:

yep. same here.
Surprised natural camber is good enough, you're pretty low too.
Yeah just bought a century battery with higher CCA, my OEM battery failed 3 battery test so thought id be better safe than sorry.
125KM for me... is nearly half a tank. WITH NORMAL DRIVING as well. :(Quote:

Yeah. Rears JUST makes it. Got about a finger between guard and rim. I had 225/45 that came with the rims.Quote:

Whats wrong with all your FDs? LOL
Mines an FD2 with K&N SRI and catback exhaust and $10 of BP Ultimate (3-4 Bars)
can get me about 130km and thats me giving it a little beating from time to time.
I did a full tank last week and got little under 500km (All freeway)
im tempted to change my tyres back to 215/45 cause 215/40 i got dicked by cops cause they didnt like the stretch on it. gotta see down the track ><Quote:

Yeah, so dusty. I just have a cloth in the car always.
I just use wet wipes to wipe down my leather seats and always keep a microfiber clothe in the drivers door.Quote:

^ nice, I didn't know the Type R body kit had a red lamp behind it ( or was that just custom ).
Btw, anyone know where to get the front DRL and lip for the Mugen RR front bumper? There was a listing on ebay a while ago, can't see to find it.
looks good, needs thicker tires or something LOL, my personal opinion :)Quote:

Happens. My parents were like that before too when they were all about me investing it wisely.
You'll never get these dollars back.
Did abit of research and came to the conclusion that i can use these brake pads
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FRONT-PRO...item2c76b7d270
for my 2006 honda civic, can anyone confirm with me that this is correct.
Cheers. In addition is there any facebook pages for FD australia or FD brisbane or similar?
It says it can so it can
but i've never heard of the brand so i can't say how quiet/clean/resilient they'll be
Shes got a new tv. Bought her a new handbag and all that, she forgets about the car for a few months and then yell again.Quote:

Even to this day he still modifies cars (That lifted Hilux you see me post up)
So he of all people should understand what it feels like to modify a car..
Cant handle the static low life. Might raise it to 1-2 finger gap all around, Sway Bars & Get some fat and sticky tyres and go functional..
What do you recommend?

How much is a set of good brandnew bags for our FDs?
Full kit. Been doing research and the bags looks like it goes about the same as my rears but front drops alot more..
Just curious..
3-4k
get D2 bag suspension with accuair management system
im currently usign airforce which was prob 2-3k new? not sure
bought mine for 1.5
hey guys, how would
17x8 + 10
17x9 +10
tyre size approx 215/45 on both
will fit on an FD civic.
civic has camber bolts and tops(front) and camber arms rear
was wondering if it'll stick out since its +10?
im currently running 17x9.5 + 20 all round with camber bolts,camber tops (max) with natural camber in rear. (bagged set up)
http://www.willtheyfit.com/wheelimag...4.3&aspect2=40
You will only get 4mm of poke from your old setup
4mm is alot isnt it?
what you guys think?
found work emitz in qld for 1k
tempting as **** !
how would 17x8 + 10 would look at the front. as i wanan put the 9s on the rear
http://www.willtheyfit.com/wheelimag...1.6&aspect2=40
-9mm of poke
10mm = 1cm
4mm is just half a cm. Barely noticeable by eye
Use this. Very helpful

I can honestly say there isn't any difference whatsoever, except for the temperature gauge on the dash being a tad bit cooler than normal. But that's probably just the cold weather in Melbourne.
Anyone else done this?
as if not! legit..only cause it was dmg in courier and seller partial refunded me :)Quote:

Does anyone know how to remove really baked on brake dust on rims?
Ive tried heavy duty degreaser and a claybar and they both did next to nothing so not sure what else i can do atm lol

No funds to paint it, leaving it in storage till it gets painted
