Meh, I didn't really need a bonnet at the time anyway, there was no paint damage so I just popped the bonnet right up.Quote:

Mars Performance in Melbourne sells them as singles. They do shipping aswell.Quote:

Might aswell save a little more and get whole kit.
Only good thing about the Mugen lip is that it is plastic. If you plan on slamming your FD
in the future. Make sure your kit is plastic. Fiberglass shatters on impact. Were plastic is more flexible and doesnt shatter.
You mean RR bars? I dont see any Type R kits/bars on their website.Quote:

I'm not gonna slam it any time soon, saving up for respray job. And yeah thanks for the info
Anyone got RR bars for sales? LOL
Didnt you say you wanted RR Side and rears? LolQuote:

I dont mind the RR. Only reason Im not getting it because 7/10 FDs here have them. Want to do something different.
and go different direction. Not "Ohh.. Another RR kitted FD"
LOL nah when I was talking JDMyard, I was talking about Type R kits. hahaha but all good.Quote:
Originally Posted by Honda_FD

Or buy a facelift with the same colour win!!
Lol! I wanted that idea , seibon diffuser lol=(
Might give my rear end a diff path
Lol
Not sure as I am from Melbourne.Quote:

Other than that. They're really good. Cheapest in Melbourne.
Just their attitude

Jsut notify them you plan to deposit money into their acc and take a pic of receipt to them
Thy usually send it out the same day or day after
LOL ok. Decide after this long weekend. Don't wanna wait for it over the weekend LOL. Gonna paint my stockies white this weekend
Do you know where to get paint in sydney?
Yeah I got the same attitude, too lol. I was enquiring about an exhaust system from that and in a nutshell, they're like, "FDs are slow so you shouldn't bother doing performance mods to it - just do cosmetic". He even went as far to say the FD2 was slower than the FD1 because it was heavier.Quote:

I'm tightarse so I'd go bank deposit. Agree with jprak, they are a legit business. Should anything go pear shape, your bank will recover the money for you anyway.Quote:

Haha, you are right. Of course Evos are better than FDs in terms of performance when they are moded, but for daily driving FDs are good enough. So that's why i dont spend much money on performance mods for my FD. In my opinion, you can spend on turbo charge, air intake,........just for better feeling but not for racing with Evo which is has the same mod. Even, with a turbo FD, i dont know whether they can beat a mazda mp25 or not. How do you think guys?Quote:
Originally Posted by LetsDuDiss
I thought mp25 is about the same as FD2. If youre driving a FD1, there is not much in terms of performance mods that you can do on a R18. But FD2, I think there is more potential. LOL i'm not sure, just my thought from what I know. But yeah I'm sure a turbo FD2 can chop a mp25 no problem. But I would never spend money on turbo coz that shit is fuel hungry as fk. Maybe CAIQuote:

Exhaust and Intakes are the main performance mods people do to their FDs not days.Quote:

I gain on them and pretty much eatting their rear bumpers. Thats on cheap china tyres.
Going for a wheel alignment soon to add more camber to the front for better grip around corners.
With alignment and good tyres I could easily past them.
FDs arent as bad as people think they are. Especially for us kids that on their P plates.
The only people that insults FDs are kids with rich parents that buys them any car they want.
Saw a kid the other day with a built DC5R. Still had his High School uniform on.
What handling mods do you have?Quote:

Most of these 'kids' dont know what theyre doing so makes it easier i guess

My theory behind the gains is that Singapore have better fuel quality than Australia and hence, it can extract more power.
Agreed.Quote:

I've had my FD for 7 years. It's the first-ish car I bought with my own money. It would be heart wrenching to part with it T__T

DIY eyelids. Looks pretty lol. Gonna give it a shot. Hopefully have it ready before Monday.
Tbh, I hardly see any modded civics around Fairfield, (I live around the area) .
I have not ONCE seen jpraks civic on the road =[ like whattttttt.
Plenty of FDs with just HID "upgrades" at the most I've seen here.
If you head east to around hurstville/kogarah area, that's where most of the modded FDs are about! Don't think they're on ozhonda though =[
I drive past fairfield pools nearly everyday LOL. I sometimes see a white fd with mugen kit here and there. But seeing done up FDs are quite rare.
But... but...Quote:

Heya!:wave: I was semi-active on here during 2009-2011. Haven't really touched my car in a long time as I was thinking about moving on but I think I might stick with the Civic for a while longer.Quote:

I might give OTR a visit. You guys have any suggestions?

Any of you guys get a squeaking noise coming from your shocks when going over bumps of turning at slow speeds?

Nope. The mugen one, with just the grille and mesh.Quote:

I was thinking this, cause I like what they represent. But what else is okay? Without going overboard.

Thinking of putting a Spoon sticker, but with the S on the end (Poons) just under the drivers wing mirror - my surname is Poon.
Looks tough as bro!Quote:

As of exhausts. Brands doesnt matter too much. As long as you dont get a cheap fart cannon.
I have a Varex with a unsilenced B pipe. I like it. Not too loud and doesnt drone much.
You thinking of going Honda Network on Monday?
Anybody have any headers for the r18? or am i gonna be the first out of us to try out the weapon-R header :)?

What possible options are there to get it fixed/filled? It's killing me :(
Call Competitive Windscreen or Novus (can't remember LOL google), chips are cheap to fix man, maybe 100 max. At least your windscreen didn't get smashed by some punk kids like mine. FYI, don't call O'Briens, fking rip-off 100% LOL.
From memory, they drill in the glass to get rid of the cracked material and did some sort of filling, can't really remember don't take my words for it. But you should definitely get a pro to fix it for you. That's not something you can DIY lol
Got the car detailed yesterday. Sun was out so thought I'd take a picture and show you guys.
Like a mirror. Honestly dont remember the car having good paint like this in a very long time. The sparkles are so shiny now.
Love it.

Thats sick dude. I want to get my car detailed now. How much? LOL anyone know cheap but quality car wash to get it detail?
I'm DIYing mine on Sunday - wash, clay bar, wax, detailer spray.
Give it a shot, LetsDuDiss :)

Hey guys,
For the Honda Network, lets meet up at Coles Rooftop Carpark at Parkmore Shopping Centre at 10:45AM? Google Maps co-ordinates
I know it sounds a bit early since it's only 5-10 minutes away from Sleeping Performance, but based on the email received:
"If you would like to park among any friends, please come together so we can park you together. All entrants are required to be at the gates by 11:30am to be placed in designated parking spots."
I figured it might be easier if we got there a tad bit earlier.
Dan, Honda_FD, - I've PMed you my mobile number in case you need/want (;)) to contact me.
chris - I think you have my number already.
I got my car detailed. Rained the next day. Not happy.Quote:

Please Diagnose:
After a solid 1 hr drive to mates place. Parked turned off car, came back 10mins later. Try to turn car on. It wouldn't start. Tried again, and then on the 3rd try it starts. Everything works till the last switch.
Is it.. a dying battery? Would I need replacement?
Thanks!
loose terminal perhaps ?Quote:
