really no holes? this other seller just said the side skirts need holes drilled, otherwise perfect fitment wont be secured. damnitt this is comfusing now.

i think the kit shud have some clips to clip on the bumper.. and support by some 3M tapes and the rubber lining is for cosmetic purpose to cover the gap between the kit with the body and bars.. but it said no holes at all.. is quite confusing.. anyone who have mugen kit with PP or ABS can explain this? =)
i recently DIY-installed my red H emblems so it's quite fresh with me.:)Quote:

i'm not surprised with the $399 price of that ABS kit really. in the philippines, one can have a ABS replica mugen kit for just around $600 painted and fitted. we just need someone from NSW to trial fit those kits.:D monterey is just 18km from sydney anyway.
here are 2 more replica kits that i saw in ebay.com.au. replica type-r kits for FD this time.
this one includes F&R bumpers, side skirts, plastic mesh grilles for front bumper, front grille and wing:

this one don't have the grille and wing:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-HONDA-CIV...1%7C240%3A1318
looks like mods for FD are getting more and more here.:) give it a couple more months and we'd probably be getting more mods at cheaper prices.:D
Regardless of what material, you will need to drill holes for better security. Tape and glue is not strong enough.
wow.. thanks for the explanation.. i think i can DIY myself for that.. hehe..
wow.. nice price for that.. but i heard my friend said.. in market now.. whether in Malaysia or Taiwan.. for the FD2R replica version.. it only comes with PU and FRP/Fibre.. but that guy on ebay saying that PU better than ABS? LOL..
anyway.. i have a friend have his original FD2R full exterior which including bonnet, headlights, taillights, fenders, front bumpers + grille, rear bumpers, spoiler.. sideskirts.. after convert to AUD is around $6000-6500.. crazy.. haha.. =)
why would you do that??the price of the vti after that would be around near 40G mark...wouldn't you get something nicer??euro maybe

can someone here actually recommend a reliable and well-fitted mugen replica kit? like the ebay seller they got it from and stuff? are there any real issues with PU though? Most kits on ebay are PU, the PP one is like double the price, and the ABS is incredibly cheap.
wow.. complete set 2800? im quite interested.. hehe..Quote:

anyone had experience with a sprint booster? what does it even do?
yep, i had the sprint booster trial fitted. To be honest.. Not worth the cost. Barely any difference.
oh really? hmm fair enough. anyone got recommendations for muffler/exhausts that give some reasonable sound?

I have the Sprint booster Fitted.. You do get much better throttle response.. lol im still gettin used to it... but can be a pain tryin to hold it at low revs... its really touchy.. there is no gain in power only response
Ahh i see, how much is it incl. installation?Quote:

where i can get the rear wing mugen badge
on ebay mate. or one of the traders here, i think JDMconcept has them. heres a link:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63624
scroll to like half way down the page and its got like a FASHION AND GOODS section.
wad is this sprint booster??
its like a thing u just connect to the accelerator pad or something like that. meant to make response better. saw a vid of it on youtube and yeah, couldnt really tell if it made any difference from the vid =/
huh??okae den..will chek it out on youtube
it is fitted in the footwell just above the accelorator. if u buy it from a shop they should install it for free.. after all.. it just plugs in lol
My exhaust is a full engine back
ahhh i see. how much was the sprint booster? and where'd ya get it from?
i got it from tripple 9 Automotive here in brisbane... i think it was around the 300 - 400.. i dont pay to much attention to costs lol
Lol... tripple nine quoted me around 500 when i tested it out.
Maybe I'll have another go at testing the sprint booster. I didn't notice it improving the response time, just changed it so that you didn't have to press the pedal as far down to open the throttle more...
lol, i can just imagine how pissed off ill get at low revs in morning traffic... my poor foot.
haha yea... people look at you funny when u always take off about 2k.. :P
is it worth it guys??as in money wise and the benefit we get out of it??
to tell you the truth.. nah.. its not...the only reason i could see the need is on the track and quick response out of corners and through gears.
hahaha. i feel like getting one.. but need bit of doshhh
umm ok den...but the youtube videos about it...kinda make me wanna get one...especially that fd vs lancer gt
Post the links for vids!!
hmmm it would be good if you dont get through a lot of traffic... otherwise its like black8thgen said, you will look silly :p
is it only for manual?
nar man...for auto tranny aswell
yeah the vids on youtube make it look so quick, but is an fd really that much quicker than a lancer?.. it killed it off one gear
i dont kno how your supposed to see anything to do with the sprint booster in that video lol..... seems like a bit of a wank
instead of paying someone to put some gay mod into my car ill just pay myself to plant my foot down faster and harder?
hahaha, well if its 300-400 bucks.. thats a bit much just for a thing that plugs in, but u cant get as much response out of the engine just by flooring it.. ah wells.Quote:
