black out ? why not CF ??:D
haha.. whole car CF aye DMX
too much hahaha.
ahh thats too early lol... so anyone know how much blacking out the grill costs?..
btw dmx when are u gonna get ur next order in?
hey DMX just wondering for tha V-lip, do u need those 2 fang things on the underside of the front lip to bolt it on because i kinda already cracked one on my first day of being lowered =[
well for my vlip the lip sits perfectly fine hence the lip has these 2 curves to bypass the fangs. so if your fangs gone thats even better, not sure with dmx's. hey dmx how much for the aromatic thinge again?

i you prefer NHB, here's an idea of the cost (i recently DIY-painted my mugen replica kits so familiar with the prices from Autobarn where i got all my painting materials from):
- 1 x plastic primer spray can = $16
- 1 x mixed spray can NHB = $30
- 1 x clear coat spray can = $16
- sandpaper, 800, 1000 and 1200 grit = $1,25 each
hope this helps.
Question, this is completely out of the topics but what you guys reckon of the new RX350 model?

My ex-FD2:

Missed her already...
Have a great one guys!!! XD
guys I am ordering mod circuits that will:
1. open car booth.
2. Folds side mirrors when car's locked and opens them when car turned on.
3. auto lock doors, when you drive away.
Price range should be near 260 AUD delivered. pm me if anyone interested.
wouldnt mind 1 and 2.. how much for both of em together?
ahh thanks jpestrada115.. for now i think i might keep with the chrome for contrast ATM..
black certainly looks aggressive tho =D.
around 220, get all of them mate..cheaper that way..im getting all 3's as well.Quote:

haha damn, onto question 2 then - has anyone modded their key to the flip style? so its like a rectangle and u press the button to make the key flip out like on some holdens etc.. ?
lol flip key
did mine. it's quite complicated for fd's. you have to remove the immobilizer chip from PCB board, and place it close to the key.Quote:

uhh got a question: apparantly painting brake callipers voids warranty on them? What the hell.. =/.. can someone clear this up please? =/..
really???LOL!...mines gone den!!!HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA so does half of the people i noe
yeah.. what the hell LOL. AHHHH i wanna paint mine sky blue =D. can someone clear this up? lol....
ooooo spoonage!!!!just do it man...wads it gona do???its just paint...wads likely to go wrong with calipers??run out of pads??replace em
yeah i want that spoon look =D.
hm.. thats true LOL. okay.. when holidays come around ill do it for sure! =].
btw ej: have you got the HONDA writing on your calipers? wanna help me out with how to do it? =D.
edit: also is the shift knob for our AUTO fds a push down button?
Finally got round to taking a few photos today... thanks to Tim for his help :)

Black8thGen... that might be me with the calipers...
http://a6.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e80004...7cae000e-500pi
The honda writing is a decal... I covered over it with clear engine enamel to try and make sure the decal doesn't come off too easily.
Ahh i see. Did you cover the whole caliper with the clear enamel? or just the decal part?
where'd you get the decal btw =D.
cheers
edit: damn those eyelids look hot =O.
the whole caliper... to also protect the paint from fading/coming off...
The decal is from some place in the UK
btw mark what paint did you use for it?
oo sky blue calipers sound nice. maybe i might do it too depending on pic's.
haha yeah.. well here's just blue: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...y/DSC01224.jpg
soo i guess picture that a bit lighteR? =D. looks nice in my head haha
at mark: what sort of paint did u use? did u just get some caliper paint from like a local autoone or something? or did u use like one of those expensive duplicolor things?
Yo, nah just a "cheap" one from autobarn... which you may or may not have in sydney.
VHT I think was the brand.. and is caliper specific paint. As I mentioned before I then put a layer of clear engine enamel on top to hopefully keep the decals and paint together.
ah ok cheers buddy. btw how long has the paint lasted? any fading of any sorts? chipping?
annd did you sand down the caliper first before painting over?
andd do you by any chance have the dimensions of that decal? =]
thx again mate.
damn those blue brakes look good..
starting to decide against blue calipers.. due to the fact i REALLY want white rims... and ive asked a few mates.. they say blue on white will look a bit odd =/... anyone here wanna share their opinions on light blue calipers with white rims? =D.
as opposed to that - thinking of going black calipers, white rims, black wheel nuts. but yea jus wanna know if ppl think blue with white rims will look a bit off or not =/
Black is a definite no.... UNLESS you have a decal on it to add a contrast... IF you do have a decal DO NOT go bremobo or type R or I will laugh at you :)
Blue and white imo is ok... but personally I don't like blue at all... not that much of a spoon kinda guy.
Red & white is win imo.
Yeah was thinking black and HONDA decal =D. just like urs hehe. ahaha nah not gonna do things like that lol..
hmmm.. yeah but eeveeryone has red =[, just want something a little different.. but not too crazy lol.
cheers for the opinion though buddy =D
what do u mean? i miight be interested in the one that you have? are you getting that one in? =/..
get spoon calipers :P
diff. style/model fr diff suppQuote:

well even if you get a nice set of rims and good tyres its still 2k+
with our ep3 rims which is good enough and shitty stock brakes i rather upgrade the brakes than rims and tyres
but really theres no need to upgrade brakes, not gonna be tracking it and tbh for road use im not too fussed about the brakes.
Regardless if used for track or not i'd invest in some decent brakes as they are the ONLY thing allowing you to stop. Although the stock brakes are fine for just road use as they are designed to do that IMO
Get decent tyres and you'll be good..
yeah.. i reckon stock brakes on my fd2 are fine.. dont experience any lag in the brakes or anything like that.. but then again its still basically new.. so maybe later when things start to go wrong i might invest in some new pads or something.. but for now id rather spend that money on a good set of rims + tyres prob.
Rice not race! lol "raise pinky finger"
yo black8th gen, do you remember exactly what paint you used? those blue brakes are growing on me :)
haha nahh mate those arent mine. thats a pic from a DIY guide here on the forum =]. Was just showing ekdez what it looks like with a blue like that, but i believe he just used some normal caliper paint in 'blue'.. ive heard most ppl use VHT stuff, and others use duplicolour which is more expensive. =D.
Semi slicks + endless ccx pads = damn good braking.
you wad would be mad...blue brake calipers and paint the pads yellow or the other way around would be cool too
Re painting brake calipers, would it slow down the cooling process and might affect braking as it might generate more heat than normal.
everything has a consequence..
i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
I painted mine a little while ago... after a "normal" drive when I touch the calipers (brake shoe) they aren't very hot at all. Haven't tried after spirited driving... but the brakes don't have a problem cooling down... also having rims with big gaps between spokes might help cooling the calipers.Quote:

hi all,
what warranty will i void if i change the wheels? I really wanna change but i just got the car new. so i am hesitate in changing it and void the warranty.
I am current have a set of FN2r rims, but i need to get a set of tyres which will cost me heaps... would i void warranty if i use Fn2r rims? since its still honda parts?
If i change the wheels and i bring it into service, would dealer keep a record that i have change the wheels? coz I will be keeping my stock wheels and change it back when i want to resell the car, so if the keep the record then no point keeping the stock wheels then?
thanks
question about these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Door-...Q5fAccessories
it says that they are door mirror Covers with LEDs and specifically for the FDs.
i can see that they just slip over the top of the side mirrors, but is the LED just there for show or does it indicate as well, like the side mirrors on the civic sport?
pretty sure the LEDs turn on when indicating. Friend of mine in indo has it =D.
