Never mind.. Found it on youtube
Saddest thing to hear earlier today. "YOUR FD CIVIC IS SLOW AND SHIT"... came from a Nissan Pulsar SSS driver with 200K on the dial. :(
SADDDDD.
... receive phone call earlier tonight from said person (8PM-ish)... "I got caught speeding 15 over the limit".
I AM SO HAPPY. HAHAHA.
Yes!Quote:

I don't track, so my 60km/h civic, is just as fast as the 60km/h C63 AMG. Thus equivalent. . .. . . . ..Quote:

you didn't buy a racecar, why are you upset when someone points out that your car is slow?Quote:

2006-2010 Honda Civic SI with 2.0L i-Vtec Engine
soz, was just asking just incase the stock airbox for the k20 and r18 are the same.
and http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251116105001
these look similar but it doesnt look like it has the part for the oxygen sensor
If you look closely its actually there
thought it was gonna look groce but looks not badQuote:

What have you guys done to replace the very restrictive r18 header.. or whatever you call that single pipe... or does everyone here have a k20 LOL
There's nothing you can do. legally.Quote:

Not sure if any good.. how about you be the test pilot. Ty.
Pivot 3 drive throttle controller compact
the most easy DIY I have ever done :) 10 mins to finish (with no experience)
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...psd6b5f7b1.jpg
How did it go with the lovely throttle lag? and r18 or k20?
@IOU
Any noticeable gains? Throttle response now?
Gains o.O!?...
All the throttle controller does is tell is increase the amount of pressure it thinks is being applied ... E.g. you press your foot down 25% it tells it you're pushing it down 50%
mate when i step on the pedal, its pedal to the metal brah! yolo swag! only gabel can judge me LOlQuote:

Yes, there are absolutely differences between those 3 modes: Eco, Normal and SportQuote:

It's worthy :-) i think this one is good for drag racing ;-)
Very quick respond on sport mode when you press your foot down
My god, popped the hood of a new Civic Sport at the dealer today cause I'm interested in a new car. Nek minut, I'm glaring at an R18 looking thing where a K20 is supposed to be!
Sad, sad times ahead. :(
On another note, is it just me or do Civics have crap resale value these days? Dealer wanted to give $8300 for my one owner 2010 FD VTI with 28,000KMs... no damage and decked out with every option in the Honda brochure. Asked if they could gimme a little more on the trade in and they said good luck selling it elsewhere for more than that since no logbooks (I do my own services). :(
The R20 is what you were looking at.

So far I've looked at Nissan Elgrand (bit too dear), Toyota Estima (JDM Tarago V6) and brand new Honda Odyssey base model. Honda Odyssey is more attractive than the others but smaller.
But back to that trade in thing. I came back to the dealer again today with my brother's car instead to see how it would fare out (waste some time). Told them it was my missus car, so they had a good look at it and gave me $9,800 for a stock 2009 Corolla Ascent hatch with 47,000KM... and all this time I thought Honda Civic would fare out with better resale than a bland white Corolla. :O
some people can't even distinguish between a corolla/civic/lancer..Quote:

Just about to buy the DRL that fit in the bottom of the front RR bumper.
Anyone know, the best way to wire these up?
I don't want to wire it to parkers. Is there any other options people know of? Thanks!

Does anybody know how the j's racing exhaust sits on the type R replica bar on a fd1? Does the exhaust touch anywhere along the rear bumper?
Depends which Js exhaust it is
I know the fd2r ver. Has to sit lower
I have It on my fd1 mugen RR lip while my other mate with type R bumper with Js diffuser both sitting lower ( only hanging on one )
It's the c304r made for the fd1. But I got a resonator delete and got a mugen rr rear lip and the rear lip got burnt off as the exhaust was touching it. Not sure if it was a crap fitting rear lip or if the resonator delete moved the placing of the exhaust. Thanks anyway dudeQuote:

Well just go under the car and change how the exhaust hangs
Let It hang on one hook so it'll go lower
I have the RR lip, and the J's racing axleback muffler. It fits well. Doesn't touch the lip at all. Heck it barelly pokes out from the rear lip itself.Quote:

But will a 22mm Sway bar actually make a difference.
Also, Anyone got a DIY for installing one?
And will i need a wheel alignment after installing one
@honda_FD damn nice! coils? if so which ones :O
I've got BC BR Gold Series with custom spring rates :)Quote:

Quick search via 8thcivic. Looks doable.
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/diy-h...y-bar-diy.html
shouldnt need an alignment with a rsb
Do you know how to install them? I'll pay you :DQuote:
