Update on pads:
getting some accord euro endless pads :)
will keep you guys updated on the 25th of this month and the 2nd of oct :)
endless mm......
I'm assuming modification is needed to fit those?
ok, back to forum, after busy week:(
if you want get some "impact" on ur brakes without upgrade to BBK, just change the brake pads and upgrade ur brakeline to SSBH. This is the cheapest and easiest way.
and then, i just received my Type-R (FD2R) brake cooling slate this morning, and the supplier said : this also can be use for our stock brakes to get better braking. But i don't believe him because our stock caliper is open caliper (diff. with brembo/spoon/etc--> closed caliper) so stock caliper don't need extra cooling air. anyway, u can give them a try :confused:
just 2 cents
brake cooling slate??wad is that?
endless euro pads only need anti rattle shim to be slightly modded cause it doesn't sit 100% flush. Though it's a 99% fit from what I saw that is without modding it
does anyone have either a SRI or CAI on there Civic Sport? Any pics?

for channeling the air from front straight to brakes caliper.
at least need foglight side duct or foglight area been cut off
but my personal thought, it's only effective with BBK, not with stock brakes.
are you going to drive your fd on track or something, so you need brake cooling
or its only add on accessories

it's diff. the air cooling for wheels (side and bottom) can channel the air to stock caliper. but it's not enough for BBK coz the only open area is at the front of the caliper.Quote:

Yea but i mean for the AUDM civics...
It will be just an accessory for us. I know that the FD2R has them stock standard but there is only 1 FD2R here in AUS and that is at IMG
who has brembos on their civic? anyways...anyone know where to get the 1.8L i-vtec badge? like the ones in asia...coz i reckon they better than vti or vti-l...lol...
I think DMX getting one... he has Spoon atm :pQuote:

debadge is easy. Hair dryer for about 30 secs then use dental floss. Metho to remove tape.Quote:

cant wait to STOMP it though :P
For anyone who wants to do a pad swap later on in fd1's and wants info one what pad and what anti rattle shim im using:
- pads are from accord euro (CL7)
- anti rattle shim is from a BB4 Prelude.
With these parts, you dont need to modify or much around with anything. just straight swap and fit.
will give you guys a review as soon as i get it out on barbs! :)
i reckon there is still a lack in aftermarket parts for the fd1...im looking at getting headers and fullcat back but all i can think of is a custom made one...and also...has anyone thought of putting a k20a in it? :D haha...that would be awesome
yeah, somehow ppl from overseas (e.g. Singapore) got more mods parts than us... this forum says it all...http://eightgc2.forumup.comQuote:

howdy lads.........Took the car out for a quick thrash on sat morning after putting around 200km on them.
Ride is about 15-20% better in terms of bumpiness believe it or not. I think it's due to just the fact of having more tread and maybe stiffer side walls. Steering and suspension wheel doesn't seem to vibrate as much now.
Road noise is still the same on hwy speeds.
GRIP - It's improved heaps. Before if I power out of a tight corner I can get the inner wheel just spinning because it was just loosing traction. Now smashing it mid corner on exits theres so much grip I can even steer the car into a tighter line with NO UNDERSTEER..........I'm pretty impressed and thats with the tyres not fully worn in yet I'm sure.
Looking forward to taking it to wakie soon to see if i can hammer a 1:17 out of it..........pipedream : ).
how much bro? I might wack some pads before I hit the track......stock pads don't even last 2 laps.Quote:

damn thats not too bad,
ccx were 320$ + 150ish for machining + fitting etc
are you serious?............maybe I was exagerating as it might have taken me about 8 laps to totally smoke up the stock pads on the 06-sports we had. came into the pits and I saw smoke from the front and I was pissing myself..........hahahha went out and had a look and the pads were kinda on fire almost. got a 1:20xx that time.Quote:

yah, a bit exy but wasnt going to go out and not have fun with stock pads :P
plus i couldnt find ANY OTHER PADS for Fds lol
but to be honest, once they warm up they are damn good.
even if it is like freezing cold, if you drive normally, they are no problem at all.
got any pics dmx?Quote:

FYI. need Front Mugen skirt.
is that rubber??
material is generally abs or PU. You probably will want to paint it as the plastic black looks ugly. I almost bought one but the price was not attractive. Maybe DMX has a sexy price? :p
lol i love sexy prices...i just want to sex them!
anyone know how i can get a full catback for fd1? like kakimoto or j's or something...i know they got some for fd2r but if i put in fd1 i have to modify which = loss...so sad...can't do much to fd1 in terms of power...
just get custom one done..
does custom guarantee power gain?? not just sound?
exhaust system for a low capacity motor won't yield that much anyhow in real terms.Quote:

can you even feel 10kW gain?
10kw is a bit, is probably the most you guys can get from NA mods to your FD's maybe 15 if your luky with a full IHE and ECU tune setup....

why doesnt someone get that 3000 turbo kit for the r18a since wer talkin bout power....
wow, almost $4k to get +85hp. i need to win tatts.Quote:

has anyone herd of anyone rebuilding their r18 to handle more boost?
or is the engine still too new for aftermarket internal components
because the D16 (civic eg) is also SOHC VTEC yet its not too uncommon to come across a turbo one
anyone know if the EG recaro rails will fit fd1??
anyone know how to change a normal number plate to a slim one? is there a special tool to undo those screws on the font and will it fit perfectly on a stock front bumper or do you need to buy a new slim mount for it? Also, when getting a new slim one does one have to trade in the old one if it's the same digits or does it just replace the other?
im pretty sure u need to hand back the fat ones. To undo the screws, its just a + head driver. no diff vs fat onesQuote:

hey guys...just wondering if anyone could help me out with this spoon BBK + 300mm mugen rotor system... http://www.civicfd-sg.com/viewtopic....aca89d08d9e740 can confirm that this fits on fd1? and what size caliper etc...and is our brake system the same as dc5r?
as stated, it's for FD. so it's fit lah....:DQuote:
Originally Posted by dannybubu

good luck for buying 2nd bbk, make sure the piston still good, quite risky to get jammed:(
thanks dmx but i was thinking buy new from dealer here coz he wants to swap for euro R kit. just to confirm BBK=big brake kit? im just guessing here...and the fd size is 5x 114.3? and also which spoon BBK? mono or twin block? mono right? just need some confirmation here.
if u want just spoon caliper (not with rotor), someone sell in ozhonda market, i tried to bargain before, not suitable with my offer :( about 1500-1600. mono.Quote:

basiclly, the main parts : caliper+rotor. pad and brackets usually come with caliper. and if u already upgrade to BBK, better u change ur brakeline to SSBH. u can get goodbridge or corsport (both USA) or Mugen.
rememebr BBK is the most expensive stage in "normal" modification (don't mention about engine) and it's related to death and life...:D
i'll use the life and death part as an excuse to upgrade...:D also...the trader is asking me what thickness the brake disc is?...and if it's the same as dc5r?
so anyone found anything we can do to the fd1 performance wise??
you can always get that turbo kit from taiwan...........
