Nice Mugen rims. Did you change them yourselves or did it come with them? The reason I ask is that I know some markets (e.g. Malaysia and America), some cars come full factory fitted with Mugen gear.Quote:

buy all from www.civicdrm.co.nr ?:confused:
hey dmx my friends bought me a red honda badge for the rear and they were noobs and the two pins dont fit the ones needed for the car...so i was thinking of breaking off the pins and getting some sort of mega super glue and glue it on the back..........do you think thats a good idea lol?
Can't believe there is a whole site dedicated to the Civic FD Type-R parts. Didn't think the car was that hot yet- but then maybe they are hoping for a surge in the future?Quote:

hey, how do u know that web ?
if you got the genuine ones, definitely fit (holes and pins). mine perfectly fit.Quote:

is the web run already ? actually, he did more trade/mass order with subaru parts (he drive sti)-freelance. he said to me, he wants try to do trade/mass for civic FD and ozhonda do not allowed mass order in this forum, means have to try from outside web. that's why he trying with free (not sure free or not, just guessing) web server first.Quote:

Is the audio buttons on the steering wheel a direct bolt on? I heard you have to take the airbag off to install it. Also where did u get it?
I am interested to put one in my VTi as well. Also the start button.
start with audio button.Quote:

yes, have to remove the airbag, hmm. actually, not as scare as its sound, just take off the horn part :) that why we have to disconnect the batt first. in case the airbag blow up :)
where to get it ? i got a quote from honda dealer $200 (with cruise control button, the harness connect together with CC button)
but i bought from http://www.hondapartsdeals.com/ only around AUD 63 to post within US states. but u must have relative in there, so they can post again to you (just AUD 7), means total only AUD 70.:p same stuff but $130 save!
now the start button.
installation : http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...t=42680&page=3
anyone know what size lug nuts the FD1 takes?
hahah yeah my nuts...ZING!!

Not much difference in turning and U turns. Maybe a slight improvement. But where i found the improvement was when changing lanes quickly, i can feel better control of the car. Also when rounds are bendy, curving at around 45 degrees. You can feel the car more stable.
Its kinda hard to explain. But overall, a cheap mod like this is worth getting.
You would get better handling response with a thicker rear sway bar. The front is stiff enough.
how with 3point SB ? makes any diff again wit 2point ? we wait for andyhui result. btw, how much for 2 point shimian ?thxQuote:

Back on stockers. ;)

ur car looks nice
ummm... 4-5 hundred can't really remember. your better off buying an after market one. its cheaper that way.Quote:

Have you checked your tire pressure?Quote:

Oops... I'll just post more opinions on my Cusco 3pt as promised.
I've driven on the Spurs (A very twisty road in VIC) a couple of times in my civic before the strut bar and just yesterday, I did another run in my car. tbh, when i first installed it, it wasn't like getting my 17", I didn't notice any differnce right away. Roundabouts, Free on-off ramps still felt similiar, gave me abit more confidence. The car still does roll (I know it isnt supposed to help but I'll just point it out for people who don't know). However, When I really pushed it very very hard on the twisty roads (By Hard I mean kicking the ABS during braking, tyres pretty much understeering on some bends)... I really noticed the diff between no strut bar and with... the car just gave me so much more confidence, even when the car is slightly understeering, I was still felt confident that it'll sort itself. Before I had the strut bar, when I went into the same corners, I was nowhere as daring, the car just didn't give me confidence at all. One Thing I noticed different between getting Strut's on this compared to Struts on a Prelude, Because this is 3 point... it seems to strengthen the Chassis and not only balancing the load of the 2 front suspensions.
Overall, for a 300+AUD mod, it gives very very good result. Next up to improve my handling, Camber kits, Rear ARB, Rear Strutbar and Coilovers :D. If You're looking for something to improve your cornering during normal driving, I highly doubt it'll improve much... I honestly can't tell the diff... you have to start pushing hard to actually notice the difference.
my personal opinion, get the genuine one(color match), after market sometimes come with black plastic sensor(unless ur car is black).that's my $0.02Quote:

strut bars are designed for high speed stability and twisties not normal street driving
What I meant by that is my only mod is 17" rims with 224/45 tyres :D... sorry for the mixupQuote:
Originally Posted by dmx

After installing my 2 point ultra racing front strut bar, i went for a drive to Monbulk. For those whos familiar with the road to Monbulk from the city, its all bendy roads and speeds between 60-80. Thats when i noticed the strut bar kicking in. I noticed i didnt have to slow down as much when going around the bendy track.
My bar is nowhere near as expensive as CUSCO. Mayve the CUSCO is a little bit better than my Ultra Racing?
^I think it has something to do with the 3 point that not only balances the load of the suspension, but to provide extra chassis support as well which is why it was pretty expensive for a Strut Bar. But the Cusco 3 point wouldn't have fit in your FD2 anyway.
VTi-L comes with 16s doesn't it? Mine came with 15s since I bought it at launch. Tyre pressure should be fine- I think I should also add that I'm referring to local gravel (not-very-smooth) roads in my area...

Thanks to Jace for helping me with many of the parts. And B.K auto for install.
dam, so jealous of you and Jace with the mugen wing. Getting mine installed this sunday. Cant wait
thats awsome!
yeahhh chatswoood!

BK install aye?
People have PM'd me asking about my HID install.. also got done at same place as Jo_E got his wing done;
Here are some shots which might help those doing a DIY;

And Jo_E, we'll get our cars cleaned for this Sunday or something :) Or maybe Sat morning if I don't stay out too late on Fri night.
Thks for the pics!
Wow, Jo_E that white FD looks great... with a sports kit you can really make it look like a FD2R (i thinks thats the code)... just need brembo covers (if they have it on the FD2R).
I'm starting to think i should have ordered a white one not black. Oh well... the black one looks more 'luxury'.. where as your white one looks more 'sporty'.
I'm so looking forward to getting mine. 80% sure I will slap a full kit on it within a couple of weeks of taking delivery. We can afford it.. but might chose to take out a smaller car loan instead.
then yea chatswood too:)Quote:

Um in response, its not Chatswood its Cherrybrook yo. lol But sometimes the car is parked @ chatty.
Yeh, the white one doesnt look as classy but i chose white coz i've always loved the CW DC5R...
Just in case any one else is wondering the rims were from a local tyre shop and cost around $1400. However the ride is not as comfortable as stock..=[
and now my car cannot fit 5 people otherwise the ride gets too low and i cant get over speed humps. >.<
jo_e did you lower the springs? didnt mention it on your list there...
Oh no. its just when i changed the rims and got low profile tyres...its just somehow low..and with 5 people in the car...gets somehow lower...Quote:

As it drew level to my car, it was a Civic FD.
So you guys tried sitting in a car in front or look at the car from the opposite traffic direction? Its so damn bright. Not sure if i want to change now. Definitely will attract police
hey nice wing. the wing by itself looks alright without the rest of the kit. btw what wheels are those?Quote:

very nice. Those blue rear plate lights are legal? Also, what catback did you install? Modifications required or plug and play?
Im tempted to get the rear red H now i know what it will look like on a silver moss. Is that a geniune badge for rear?
Shimian.. you're not allowed to have blue lights on any part of your car (Impersonating a cop). But tbh, there are so many falcodores and Skylines with them that I don't think a cop will bother pulling over a Civic for that :D
danny.. could I just ask if you get any fender rubbing at all?
