I got a question. will 2008 FN2R CTR Civic Type R Wheels fit on fd?? the size is 18" x 7.5 +55 offset. Thanks a lot.
03-02-2009, 03:04 PM
ekdez

yeah they will.. and if you have scrubbing issue's.. u can always buy spacers.
03-02-2009, 03:28 PM
ks_b

I am pretty noob about car here. what is offset actually do? Im thinking its the distance between the wheels and suspension right? since civic only +45 but this alloys is +55 ... big different. I dont want to have any trouble after i buy it.

which part will have scrubbing issues? and how spacers will help solve that?

thanks a lot!!

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.

ooppsss...my comment is for K20.
R18 designed for eco driving, not point buy R18+add turbo,
better go with sports/K20 + little do some engine mods:thumbsup:
03-02-2009, 06:59 PM
azn_ek

but r18a is actually not bad for turbo charging since it has the perfect compression ration for a turbo.

I don't know about everyone but I never think these head lights would suit our FD, especially when stopped next to an Audi or BMW at the lights, it'll be very emberassing...

er... why? they're different... I think its more embarassing if you have all the CTR stickers on your car and stop next to the real CTR (not the FD2R though... theres no real FD2R in Oz)
04-02-2009, 04:09 PM
rene

yea stopping next to the real CTR in OZ would be close to impossible.

I dont have the guts to stick "type R" badge on my car lol. Still has "vti" badge on it.

denot should that car "suddenly" available for sale, would you take it?

By the way no one notice about his "mugen RR" front bumper?

also check this site guys..first page makes me wet :)
04-02-2009, 04:23 PM

^^^ Depends on the price, might buy it if the OEM parts included. Then take everything out. Sell the car, then sell the parts seperate :p

I have enough with FD bro... sorry... :p

obviously you didnt understand me. let me rephrase that, it would look good enough as a REPLICA, it didnt need all the extra faux Audi and BMW bits.

but im pretty sure i saw TIMII or whatever his name is in his (what i thought was riced up) FD1, however when i saw it at cherrybrook roundabout last night, i kinda thought it looked cool.

let me re-think again. it's not 4 screws, about 6 screws.
3 outside and 3 inside.
the inside ones, you have to slide to front to get 1 screw and slide back again to get another 2 screws (if i'm not mistaken..lol)

all the ozhonda member that install mugen bodykit by themself. this might sound a silly question but with the silicon i got, in which parts of the kit do i need to apply it or will that be strong enough if i only use 3m double tafe and screws? FYI most of the time i travel on M5. cheers
05-02-2009, 10:15 AM
black8thgen

double tape and screws are fine id say, but im gettnig it done with the glue most body kit shops use.. a lot simpler i guess
05-02-2009, 10:34 AM
ktvin09

I bought the 221 but didn't use it cause I heard that the only way to get rid of the stain left behind if you want to remove the kit, is to repaint the bodywork...
05-02-2009, 12:04 PM
kupang

black8thgen:
which glue are you talking about? should i apply in all part of the kit or just in several places? any guide on applying the glue/silicon? heheuhe im totally noob

where can i get the glue from?

ktvin09: thanks for the info, eventho i didnt know whats 221 hehe

for the front lip, i used double adhesive tape only + 2 self-tapping screws on the front guard part of the front bumper.

side skirts, double adhesive tape all along the side, 2 screws at the front guard (through the 2 holes that exists for the mud flaps) and 1 screw at the rear guards (had to drill a hole :()

rear lip was the easiest. 2 screws (existing on the car) at the rear guard part of the rear bumper, 4 clips under the bumper and double adhesive all around.

i didn't use any glue but feels solid enough mounting for me.

not sure where to glue it if ever.

yea that sounds right..I got mine installed hehe to lazy to do it my self.

Nah, nothing bad so far... had the euro lux rims fitted beforehand, no issues there. If the euro lux and the fn2r rims are around the same offset, there shouldnt be a problem, thats what i though, seems to be correct.

only crap thing about these wheels are they are heavy, you will notice it if you're driving a manual

lowered on eibach sportlines, approx 1.4" drop.

I sprayed the rims myself, 2 coats primer, 2 coats gloss black, 2 coats clearcoat, cost me like 150$ in spraypaint. My mates are getting their rims powdercoated, costing them like 360$ for all fours.

LOL, nah, too much effort to paint them in white...

ebay, those automotive stores in america, paid like 450 for them I think back then when the dollar was alright. NOW I think your looking at like 800-900 for a set.

cheers

i guess you need to clean the rims to remove dirt and grime, sand down the rim with sandpaper so the paint will stick, start with something rough then finish with something fine so it will have a smooth finish.

cover the tyre with newspaper or something so that you dont spray your tyres white...

chuck some primer on, can be ne colour, since your doing it white, maybe choose grey as the primer colour so when you do the colour coat, you can see which area you have missed or what not.

wait till that dries, spray on your colour of choice, wait till that dries, spray on some clearcoat if you wish. 2 coats for each step should be sufficient.

OR... just buy someones white ep3r rims and transfer the tread from your current rims and sell off the fd2 rims =D
