Went to dyno day today, only mod is my crappy simota intake and got 101.6 fwhp lol.
wow thats pretty good!!!!i wanna chek mine out
yeah i remember reading that someone got 85 or so fwhp on here a while ago.
also this is on a dyno-dynamics dyno.
JDM Yard / Mu Secret / Proconcept etc.. there are a few around...
Any sort of tyre brand can suit any rim. It all depends on what profile you want. If its 17" then your more than likely gonna go for 215/40/17. I wouldn't get anything under $400 a set but thats just IMO
Nice although do u know how much if it was ATW? I'm looking to dyno my car again...
ah^ thats the one, thats rougly the same numbers.
and that was 101.6 hp at the wheels
does anyone know how much 08 fd2 rims basically brand new would sell for? =/
which fd rims are you talking about? just keep it and get another rims, so when you sell the car you still can use the original rims back.
i thought you said you would get rims from overseas
sport rims, the enkei ones. yeah.. but i'm short on cash haha =[.
yeah that was the plan at first, but there some hassle involved =/.. looking into some ce28 reps here, or white ep3r rims lol =D
what colour is your car
nhbp. why?
anyone know the thread size on wheel nuts for our fd civics?
which is the best place to get tyres in melbourne?? need it for fn2r rims 225-40-18.
looking at Nankang NS2 or Falken FK452.
its the 1.5 bro
Guys please give me your final update of the upcoming FD meeting.
Just a simple yes I am coming or not would be great. I need to organize some foods now.
The link is listed below cheers guys
Night Hawk Black Pearl
anyone heard of the brand K-sport? is it any good? compare to skunk, teins, cusco etc...where does it stand?
havnt heard of k-sport =/..
and yeah bodaas my car is black.. why?
k-sport stands with D2, racing logic and G4
made in taiwan... enuff said, not comparable with tein, cusco and jic etc. if u want sumthin hard and stiff, go with ksport, but with the same amount of support, it wouldnt offer the comfort like cusco, tein and JIC or other jap brand coilover.
anyone know if u can get 40 profile tyres for 19 inch rims?
Car came with 195/65/15 originally and currently have 215/45/17, and was hoping to maintain sidewall so my ride isn't much bumpier than it is now by getting the 40 profile.
so far i have:
-full mugen replica kit (grill, front lip, side skirt, rear lip, mugen visors, wing)
-aftermarket fog lights
- k-sport coilovers
-18" black rsgt's
- cusco front strut bar
- 2.5" half exhaust
-darkest legal tint
- 8000k HID
future plans: CAI
k-sports are great on the softest settings. On this car, if you get 18" rims (225/40/r18) make sure u don't lower it too much just in case of wheel arch scrape. These coilovers matched with good tyres like my BF-Goodrich g-sports make a great cornering package IMO.
^^ Charlie? It's Khoi :) Talk to you on msn about the cai cos i've been researching and come up with an alright idea haha.. ie - either taking out resonator etc and just having a pipe run down to fog light area as an intake and changing panel filter or trying to keep stock airbox and get a pod inside so it still looks stock =P
ive done that...i took my resonator out and run a piping down to the foggies area with my stock box and mugen drop in filter...
oh awsome, was it hard? (pics?) i saw a diy on the singapore fd forums but i cant remember if it shows exactly how to take the resonator out.. i dont think it could be that hard but yeah.
how much did you pickup the drop in filter if you dont mind me asking? and do you think its possible to have the stock airbox, or use a different stock airbox in order to get a pod inside and make everything look stock?
nah i'm not charlie, i'm his younger brother. he owns the euro, your idea sounds pretty good though. I heard from charlie that u got a new body kit. what sort?
dannybubu, the comfort on a stiffer setting were okay, but got me pretty annoyed sometimes on our crappy aussie roads. It really depends how stiff you want to go, gotta keep adjusting it until you find your ideal settings. I gave up awesome handling for comfort; not as if i'll track with my car for a while. However, these coilovers would be perfect for track use as the surface would be way more smoother.
FDcivic, do you have any pics of your car?
yea, theyre on this forum somewhere. check in members gallery. its the black one
is this david?Quote:

ok then, its the black one with the full mugen kit and 18" rsgt's.
i have just uploaded 2 new pics for those who are curious to what my car looks like.
they are the 1st 2 pics up in the civic/crx gallery
lol oi david this is eric..bought my ep3 rims a few days ago ;)
u serious, how do they look. white on white would look hot with those red honda centre caps. how much did they cost?Quote:
lol oi david this is eric..bought my ep3 rims a few days ago
haven't put them but cleaned them today...and still gotta buy tyres for them...bought them for $600 with a few paint chip marks...but barely noticable unless you look really closely
black or white mate? damn 600 for a set seems pretty sweet, although with new tyres ull prob pass the 1k mark hey =/..
depends what tyres u get.
there white...so was thinkin about putting whiteout over teh small chip marks...not to sure how'd it would go though...but yeah i probably definately will go pass the 1k mark. Sorta wished that i could find the rims with a set of tyres for under 1000 though...Quote:

i am currently running a set of euro sport wheels on my fd...it rides nice..offset doesnt look so nice..but handles well..and looks..better than my hubcaps..hahah
previously i was running a set of 19" rims..using 245 rears and 235 fronts..
im using coilovers and well..i have not much inner guard lining left..on the fronts..and had to get my rear guards rolled as well..only to find that the plastic covering over the fuel filler has been worned away..
even after all that..carrying passengers was a hassle..i wouldnt reccommend using that combo..but damn..i think it looked nice..
yeah just passangers is going to be the biggest hassle, but since most of my mates have their ps now i can just tell them to drive...
getting my front and rear guards rolled tmr morning so hopefully the tread doesnt eat too much of the plastic coverings after that :thumbsup:
got pics with the rims? :thumbsup: how much did u get it for and where if you dont mind me asking :D
dmx: whoa.. even at $90 it's still quite expensive for a fragrance diffuser..can you shed anymore light on the benefits of this thing compared to like normal glade stuff?
its JDM!
when i went to get my guards rolled..they said that the fronts didnt need it..let me know if u end up getting urs done..
i posted in the noob forum if anyone knows the colour code for the DC5R Wheels..I am talking about the dark grey colour for the rims as I want to re-spray my euro sport wheels that colour..
maybe someone here can help..
Got a set from Rein (another ozhonda member), if i remember correctly he got a set for 6k (without tread), not too sure where he sourced it from though
yea i ended up getting all four corners done, the 245's in the rear are scrubbing a little, think i need 235's now...
just got my full body kit installed last night =D.
I'm so glad you guys aren't in Brisbane... nice not being every second FD with a mugen lip kit.
On the other hand wish I could be at a FD meet.
lol mark, mayb we shud do a brisbane fd meet then? i've never talked to any1 yet only seen a black one with mugen kit on the wivenhoe cruise last year
Yeah .K., that would have been me.
My car looks a fair bit different now than back then :)
Sure let's do a meet hahaha.
**** oath.. those 20s fill guards so well and looks awsome dumped. thats gold
thx i did the installation myself
it could still go even lower, but i couldnt drive it straight into my driveway
nah.. sorry rene tmrw im busy =[.
bodaas,
does ur rims ever scrape the inside of your guards when cornering hard? my car's way higher yet it still scrapes on 18's
wow fdcivic does it really scrape on 18s? whats offset and width of ur rims mate? and how low is ur drop?
and im pretty sure bodaas' scrapes, ive seen a pic of his guards.. and they've been rolled and its scrubbed like all the paint off the inside part lol =/
theyre 225's so 22.5cm's. umm not too sure bout the offset tho but it looks perfect. sticks inside the guards by round 4mm. the cars around 14cms above the ground from the front with the mugen lip. it only happens when turning left tho but not when turning right.
Fogs are now yellow :thumbsup:

i love the lip
Very nice..
i really really love the yellow and black mixture.. nice color coding..
looks fkn hot - how'd you get the v-lip yellow? powdercoat? or how? :)
Any rough estimate of cost of v-lip?
if its cf lip i might be interested (depending on price)
oh ok, what material is urs made out of? and how much =D
what colour its going to be?
ah.. damn i just put my mugen wing on LOL =[. hmm nah id ont want CF Vlip anymore LOL. too pricey prob.. just want the one that you've got.
hmm im thinking about red badges.. but think its a bit pricey now.. how much?
