ahh i see. looks like a good drop though. i'd rather a 1.4" than a 2" due to issues with scrubbing i reckon =/..
ah i see. look niiice though. would be great if they came in 18s huh? =]
could someone tell me much how tein/eibach spring cost including the installation?
thanks in advance... also wondering how much will BC/tein coilover for FD cost this day....
3200 for tien coilover with edfc controller
hows that turbo coming along amurray?
ej20i, welcome to the world of bucket seats, may your ass never slide around the stock park bench seat again at the track!!!
:D
looking good!
yeah they arent too bad actually, if you're planning on having subs and stuff in the boot and tend to take passangers on a regular basis, just save your money and just get some decent coils instead lol
since the aussie dollar went down the shithole, you're looking at like $600-650 for the spring and $150 install? just save money and install it yourself :P
hey guys,
im was on my way home from work on centennial drive on friday and i went past this black honda civic going the other way but i could of swore that it has white racing strips from back to front.

turbo is coming along quite nicely.. should have some pics for u today :)
anyone recommed to put an oil catch can into the fd1?

All/Majority coilovers are adjustable...

does anyone know how many interior lights i would need if i wanted to change all of them to a brighter white light? because theres like the double sided thingy and i cant be bothered to pull it open atm =.=.. sooo yeah does anyone know?
on a sports model btw..
cheers
i got an 06 fd1 and after 2 yrs my car is pinging...anyone else find this? im on RON91 and the occassional 95...
hmm, what u mean by pinging?
btw can anyone hook me up with a mugen wing? preferably in NSW/Sydney area... can't find any on ebay and the store i got my bodykit from has run out of the mugen wing =[...
thanks..
pinging as in when the engine is idle you can hear it sort of ticking....or knocking sound...however you like to put it...i've yet to change to a higher octane fuel which people have said solves the problem...
oh i see, well i always fill up 95 or 98 and never heard the pinging or anything, soo that could say something? Then again my car isnt very old at all..
Don't be a bum amurray!! Share the details on the kit!
I think we established it was the ZAGE kit from china (?). Is she in and running? Pics? Perhaps don't respond here and do a build thread with all the juicy details in the first post so ppl wont keep asking the same crap over and over again? I'm curious on things like what was used to tune it, what psi would be considered safe for the stock internals etc blah blah blah.
From my reading it seems 5-9 psi would be quite safe to run on stock internals. I'm not really considering to turbo the r18a, but give props to you mate for being probably the first to have turboed the new R-series in oz.
Some day would love to see your ride with that ear blistering sound system and the first r18 turbo in oz.
Next time your headed to 999, give me a yell, I'll come by and check out ur ride :P
anyone know a good place to get a rep mugen wing in sydney/nsw??? =/.. so hard to find one now =.=..
well...i never noticed it for 2 yrs until now...so i don't think it's the injectors...i'm going to fill up later today so i'll see what happens...
Who in Brisbane wants to come to my place and jump start my car? :(
jump start a fd1?..07?..uUuMmm.. does that mean I need a new battery soon aswell?.. lol
was reading about the new civic..comes with tcs..=(
no when u jump start your car.. drive it for 45 mins and it will recharge, if your alternator works.
and..the new civic comes with book release.. aRgh..just seems so much better..
Boot..
whats tcs? yeah boot release was tempting as i had the chance to get an 09 sport instead of my 08.. but lucky i took the 08 cos i hate hexagonal lights =.=
Got my first Fine today.... my exhaust was to low... only 70 mm off the ground. but how i got it was a bit of an odd one... yesturday i over took a silver pulsar... and turns out he was a off duty highway patrol officer.. soooo anyway he thought my car was to low... so today he came to my house... i was at work.. so my dad got in the car with him and they came to my work... made me get my car on flat ground so he could messure it.... anyways he was a really nice cop. let me off with only the fine. no defect notice... so took it strate away to be fixed.. the rear exhaust hanger had broken... arrrr lol... so yea... nothing against the cop. was a really nice guy..
Thought i would share lol
hahaa, btw can you get done for speeding if some random on the street reports your rego to the cops? or can they not do it cos they got no proof?
and does anyone know where i can get some rims repsrayed professionally with the proper coatings and stuff? and an approximation on how much it would cost on 18/19 inch set =/
cheers
my mate resprayed his rims, 18" FN2 rims to white and it cost him 50bucs per corner...
and also if anyone kno what is the rim size and offset of the JDM FD2R rims? planning on gettin 18" for FD2 but want sumthing that will hav no problems with scrubin.
oh, 50 bucks? like with what paint though, like im talking the proper rim protection coated stuff.. and clear coat etc?
i think their around +42/45? remember reading that somewhere but yeah not 100% on that mate.
are u getting genuine or replicas? if u get replicas then it will probably vary a little.. but not much?
options motorsports here has a set of reps for those =]
btw heres the info on the reps options motorsports has for sale: 18x8.5 et 45 5x114.3
8.5 with +45... that will only just fit on an fd, but u might have trouble with scrubbing the inside shocks cos its that wide..
Nah, the reason it needs to be jump started was cos it was sitting in the garage all weekend with one of the interior lights up the front on. From Friday night to Monday night.
And the reason it was in the garage all weekend was cos my license had expired a month ago.. only found out on Friday when I got a fine for it :(
wow 18 x 8.5, that sounds a bit too wide...? im not lookin at FD2R replica but RE30 replica in 18" but i need the exact rim measurement as i dun want any scrubbin issues, had that on my EK and yea didnt like it one bit lol....
the respray was powder coated, i was surprised with the cost as well...
seriously? wow.. where'd he get it done? =/.. could ya pm me please mate =].
ohh re30? Havn't found any like.. good replicas of those yet =/
i cant drive my car atm until new front bar gets here... we swapped somthing and now its tooooo big lol...
Also looking into custom cp pistons and rods etc etc so i can run more boooooost :) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
man...the isota i think its one of my best well paid mod
hey guys...thinking, seriously thinking of dropping a K20A DC5R in my FD ...
any input, suggestion, comments??
can't legally put an older engine into a newer chasis. You can import a fd2r engine tho :-) . Tho not a easy swap into a fd1.
what he said, but then again.. with all the mod's you have in your car already.. is it legal atm? why not just keep going..
why dont u import a fd2r from overseas, striped for race use.. 20g's..
you import is as a race car.. only has a drivers seat in it.
it would be much easier then doing a swap.
and then once you get bored at the track do the engine conversion + you will have the bumpers and all that stuff to do a full on FD2R conversion ;) haha
I was considering doing it with a k20z1 from a dc5s, but for the price it will take I can buy the s2000 ive wanted at the end of this year so i figured, be happy with the fd1 for the moment and in a years time buy a car thats actually fast from factory that I wont be shitting myself when I get yellow'd cause I have an illegal engine in the car haha.
if you guys want more power out of your FD1s... cheapest and best option is turbo... and if you knew how much a replacment R18 is.... you would be doing it :P
my bro rang me from singapore yesterday,, he passed so many fd2R yesterday on the road
but he couldnt find at least one fn2R.. lol,,,
LOL!!!
ummm i paid 575 installed...but wuld be cop really know the diff between fd1, fd2?i meant the k20a looks quite similar to fd2 aint it?
latest mod...09 sidemakers on my 08
what r sidemakers? =/
indicators on the fenders...since the 09 civic comes with the type r side lights...so i got em...i like the headlight aswell...they will fit rite?
oh right. lol.
I saw a RR yesterday driving around in HK gosh it looks good!!!
I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to take a pic tho =[
is rr edition faster than base fd2 type R ?
i dont understand why aus honda didnt bring one,
too many ass hol hooning my fd
yeah so its like even lighter too..especially that super mega CF one
but at the end of the day... it is still FWD right?
thats why i dont modify my engine's :)
1. too old to speed/no guts to speed lol
2. too stingy to pay speeding ticket
lol ,, you dont looked stingy,, i can tell from your bonnet
LOL!!!!tru that
i guess im true Ricer aye? hahaha
** no comment **
i was referring to $$$ you spent for cf bonnet
lol ...
there's NO RR edition from Honda. RR is Mugen tuned civic type-r
honda can't bring here, only private importer can.
so u need NSX RR ??? :D

go with supercharger. with turbo, you will risk ur stock engine( cause by boost leak) unless change the all internal parts, means will ended with high cost too.
if not, max turbo can be boost up to 0.5 bar only (assume thai civic engine built = JDM engine strength, and no leaks)
but with supercharger, u can go up to 0.8 bar without worry boost leaking (cause supercharger playing with the pulley).
other hand, superchanger will boost from beginning of ur revs, compared turbo will start around 2-3k rev depends on set up.
remember spending quite sometime looking for a supercharger for the R18... there was one company that showed interest in developing it but they said they were focusing more on a supercharger for k20 for the si in the US. I wonder if they are ever going to go ahead and develop us a supercharger.
Anyone aware of one for the R18a?
Edit: nope, looks like the company went bust.. or at least not making any updates to the site/forum.
wonder how many people are actually interested in supercharging their r18s or k20s?
anddd finally.. getting my full mugen kit with wing installed this week! =].
black8thgen: remember to post up pics here :D
yea man...american has done it...they love to supercharge and turbo charge their hondas
only problem i can see with supercharge..... constant boost on a standard engine lol... not to bother i got a little somthing
