Damnnn The City looks good now!
Mum wanted the old City before she bought the FD. Thank god cause the old City looks horrible.
I actually like the new one. Good Choice! Get bags! Everyone can watch your mum airout at the supermarket.
It'll be awesome!
Holy bat nuts your cars looks perfect with those rims honda_FD!!!!! Well played.
Thanks. Unfortunately the rear had to be raised :(Quote:

Do you guys know where I can get aftermarket LCAs and Subframe braces?
Tried looking on Function 7's website but nothing for the 8th gen.
I want some bling bling at the rear!
Also, Does the beaks bar hang low? Scared it might get snagged on something when I drive and rip my rear end apart.
https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/...70961116_n.jpg
17x8.5 +42 will fit?
Bao, those LCA are fake, they're just go over the top of the originals LOL
BEAKS I'm unsure I'm the same as you. Scared might rip off lol
17x9+45 fits if you remove your plastic liner near the petrol line.Quote:

Lol Really? Damn. Would still look cool though.Quote:

Thinking about getting my OEM LCA polished
17x9+45 won't fit on the fronts of the FD, will hit the calliper and such, should be able to run 9+45 with a 10mm spacer so maybe 8.5 +42 could fit
Nity runs 9+45 all around?Quote:

Theres a drill bit for 22mm? You mean hole bore? Which brand of pod filter? Does the brand make any difference? LOLQuote:

Installed base and cable bushings today, also readjusted my clutch. Fuk me feels so nice to drive and shift now
Brands shouldnt matter. Its been proven that intakes dont increase power unless you tune your car.Quote:

A3 only costs $30 - $40 depending where you go. The Drift brand and AutoBarn pod filters sell for about the same price.
So in that case I went for the A3. Same shit really.. Its all noise
assuming you moved it so the clutch bites in the middle instead of the top? I remember the biting point was really shitting me when i drove my friends fdQuote:

Ahhhh I see.
dat noise gets bitches. Then once you have said bitch you can put the cover back on.
Haha yh yh thanks m8Quote:

You just do you player. My opinion means dick squat(s) anyway.
I loved when you first did different panels but now it's looking all over the shop.
It's all love anyway (^_^)

I swear sometimes our cars look like RC cars. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9...64FFB941CE.jpg
I am on 215/45 but it want to go 205. It doesn't rub only at full lock over a big bump. When I had the stock tires and was only on king springs it would rub a bit. I have my set of king springs you could have for 100$ if you are interested, have a look on my intro thread how the car satQuote:

I think I ll go with 215/45 like yr current setup. How much are you lowered atm with those tyres? 205/40 will be sick !!!Quote:

Fxck that.
I went and bought a battery from Battery World (same as the last one) for $120. Took 5 minutes to swap as you guys would know.
Anyway, this morning (-3) I turned the key and the engine made the cranking noise.
Does hybrid start off they hybrid battery and not the 12v engine one? Hope me big battery isn't dying. $$$$$$$$$ :(. Yay!!!!!!

If you're rubbing when you're turning then try putting the dampers up. if its on max then go for 215/40.
I honestly wouldnt go any lower than 215/40 as it is skinny enough. I used to have the same problem and going from
a 45 profile to a 40 profile made a HUGE difference.
Good idea on the front and rear setup.Quote:

I hope to achieve a setup with lowest possible diameter while maintaining the grip with those 17x8 38+ enkei rims.
Do you know anyone with mugen suspensions on their fd? The springs + struts non-adjustable ( i read damper is 5 click adjustable). Just wanna find out anyone swap them springs with others brands.
Why do you want to get a small diameter? Hitting potholes and bumps with small profile tyres are noisy and can easily damage the rim.Quote:

Our rear is separate so that shouldnt be a problem. Only 1 bolt and it comes out. Just take it to a Suspension specialist just to confirm.
What state do you live in?
