sometimes i see that as a good thing so it makes our cars unique. If mods are available, every fd you see will be modded up and it will look identical. So far i have not seen a silver moss fd done up like mine.Quote:

Hi guys, got a broucher from my local Honda dealer today offering a PnP in-dash GPS/DVD with rear vision camera package. All for $2500. I don't know who manufacture them, the only model number I can spot from the broucher is "PID 331". I am thinking about it. Do you guys know any other similar deal out there?
too exp. 2500, u can get aftermarket ones abt 1500.anyway, Honda dealer price :wave:Quote:

This time the trend is ducktail, from Merc AMG - M5 ACS - Jaguar XKR to Mazda MPS2009, all with ducktail, even Honda start with ducktail (euro/accord). Only STI still conservative.Quote:

Any chance you could post more pics (front, side profiles, etc... ), really want to see how the spoiler goes with the bodykit... if i'm gonna get the spoiler sprayed and installed.. may as well get the full kit done as well... hehe (pending financial controller's approval of cos...;))
sound system :p, i want to have decent sound system while drivingQuote:

i was curious if neone knows, would a fd2r front bumper fit smack bang onto a fd1? like direct swap, or would the fender or nething else needs to be changed as well etc, etc.
yeah u need to change both front fenders/guards i think the lights are different size tooQuote:

rumour 2 : also next year, the FASTEST civic in the world (sports modulo Type-R)'s parts/accesories also available from them ;)
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au...o_civic-02.jpg
and the other interesting news is NEW style of angel eyes for civic also available, Audi style :D
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...erdmx/lamp.jpg

Ducktails have been popular for a long time mate... it was a E46 M3 that started the ducktail trend. E46 3-series owners started following it and it spread really quick.Quote:

How and where to get the new Angel Eyes??? How much???
I recall the 5th gen civic sedan had a ducktail spoiler as an option in Singapore. That was in '92 or '93 when I bought two civics ( a 3 dr hatch and a sedan). So it at least pre-dates the E46Quote:

nice nice.. how much was the hood
http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/752...829asy9.th.jpg
nice rims..have you got a full shot of the car by any chance?Quote:

i reckon lambo doors on our car is kinda weird.Quote:

and since the civic is actually quite high up (unlike other sports cars which are considerably lower), i have a feeling when you open the doors fully it'll hit the ceiling of some of the car parks.
just my few cents
^^^ agree... the FDs are too "bulky" to use lambo door...Quote:

haha yeah i was already thinking about hitting the ceilings in car parks. hmm not sure i'm still thinking about it. it will cost $1600 fitted (takes 2 days). with the mugen kit the car looks kinda low already though.
i've seen pictures of FDs with lambo doors in a forum, some are really weird =/ i can't seem to find it now :(
I will take a pic of the full car when everything is done, don't like the look of it now while its still half done. including the CF interior dash (not sticker, real CF)
NNY911 - the carbon hood is $365 US (bout $415 AU) i bought it few months ago, would cost a fortune now!
i got it shipped over from taiwan along with my CF spoiler, splitter, front grill and angel eyes :)
yea, especially with the rear doors...id say looks weird....b awesome if two door like the SI
hey liquid, can you pm me the place you bought the bonnet from? or since you are in perth if i pay you $ could you order one for me?
Would like a cf hood... except for the legalities of it... not worried I'm guessing?
i think its illegal only if the hood is fully carbon fibre...most of these "carbon fibre" hoods are only carbon fibre layered fibre glass....which is legal.even NRMA approves it
hmmm... if it ain't ADR approved... as in stickered.. it ain't legal right?
Finally got around to posting my cars 'new' shoes, bought them off Dean (DLO01)
http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/o...vicmtmee-1.jpg
i think the CF hoods are legal because its just the same hood but carbon over the top or made in plastic and CF over it.Quote:

correct me if i'm wrong :)
u r rite...this is wad i confirmed with RTA ... fibre glass hood and plastic hoods are legal...even if they have carbon layer over it...as long as its not full cf..since if u hit something...it'll just shatter and might hit a pedestrian.Quote:

oh a man with coilovers finally...tell mr. cracker....how is it? no more understeer?
Didnt have a choice, the rolling diameter of the tyres meant they had to be that big, I just havent decided what I'm going to do with it as far as lowering etc after this. Still looks miles better than the stock 15 inch wheels it hadQuote:

trsc27, the rims suit your cars colour really well. Don'y mind the amount of rubber with black rims... if they were silver it'd look weird... but with black it suits.
Are they 15/16" rims mate?
16's, ducktail spoiler is next
anyone heard much about jc-project coilovers? are they any good?
very interested in these .. specifically designed for the FD1 apparently
ill let u kno when there in :P there on my floor atm :P just need time to get them in... will be soon though.. probly next week :)Quote:
Originally Posted by cracker

i bought them from Tripple 9 Automotive at coopers plains in Brisbane, really good service :) heaps of bits for FD1s :)
apparantly theres a supercharger designed for fd's now
there has been a supercharger for the 8th gen with K20(a?) out in the US for a while now.. and 3 or so turbo kits for the R18a engine.
I'd love a supercharger for the R18a... though technically superchargers aren't so well suited for sub 2'ish litre engines.
Got a link for the FD supercharger? It's prolly for the FD2 right?
Thanks mate, sorry havnt really been checking the forum, been busy,Quote:
