not actually too sure how the wiring works though, but im guessing it would wire inside the actual rear vision missor to the indicator wires?

yea man
here it is
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/do-yo...placement.html
yeah i followed that to find out how to change it, but my new gear knob doesnt seem to push down far enough =.=...
maybe u need some DIY man...i had to do that for mates R34
yeah i was trying for 2 hrs man =[.. tried all sorts of things.. puttin something inside the gear knob to make it push down more.. although i realised that just doesn't do shit =.=.. so i'm out of ideas on what to do... ah well..
lols.... it took many peoples' attempts at DIY to get it to work. i thought it looked cool without anything; kindof like an aftermarket NoS trigger!Quote:

yea same guy. it took me a little while. cos if u install it wrong, the key wont come out of ignition. You just need to find the right spot. I didnt modify anything
ahh really? ah ok. i'll give it another shot later today. thanks for that mate.
kk got it to work lol.. thanks shimian.. gave me that confidence that the product actually fit haha.
Its a J's Racing tow hook, i special ordered one in for the FD through Ozhonda trader hondarQuote:

especially for FDs, no way they look like a track/race car.
agree with brescia
anyone use Hankook Ventus S1evo K107 before? are they good?
nope, but i had Hankook RS2 b4, they ar nice, stiff side wall but still not as good as RE001 and Z1
ks_b...wad will u be using the tyres for??touge?track?or just plain street use?
just street use... coz I saw on tempetyres are on special for $150 each.
yea i been hearing that RE001 is good, how much will i be looking at for RE001 18"?
i got Hankook Ventus RS2 from 7daytyres which is a tempe tyre affiliate ... there tyres are great value for money
what u guys think of white rims with polished lip on a black fd? =D.
http://www.bsawheels.com.au/pic/95200612046PM.jpg
not a fan, but each to their own. get what you like.
but for me,
center cap looks ugly.. ce28's are hot tho but need to be all one colour. (Y)
DMX got banned yo.
hmm, yea ill prob take off the centre caps, or not get them at all. thinking of spraying that lip in the same white as the rims, just trying to find a rep set with all white though..
btw is it possible to respray a machined lip in white? would it be the same concept as just respraying rims? (ie. sanding down, primer, coats etc?)
Lol too lazy to take a photo of mine.Quote:

Hankook Ventus RS-2 Z212 and Hankook Ventus S1evo K107
which one your guys think will be better for street use then?
Has anyone tried this leather seat cover for civic?

got pics ej20? how much did u get them for and who did the install? :)
Drive shafts are coping fine, as long as you aren't practising full launches (on hill climbs where you start from a stationary position 4k seems optimum for me, anything above and i just smoke the shit out of the tires.) and on rolling starts such as circuit racing it seems to be all good.
Videos being uploaded to youtube later when i can be bothered.
Ps. Bodass is a douche.
i installed it myselfQuote:

hey guys, just got my 09 civic sport, wondering if anyone know what parts can be shared between the JDM FD2R and the AUDM FD2 civic sport? cheers
In which category?Quote:

ah thats good! what would you classify as a full launch though? because any higher than 4k then it would be a burnout and not a proper launch right? ive been taking my car to the drags (trying to get the bloody thing to run into the 15's, but i consistently get 16 flats) and ive been wondering if im doing damage to anythingQuote:

What about the 09 FD2R vs. the AUDM FD2?Quote:

I noticed on 8thcivic.com they swap over even the bonnets and fenders to get the OEM type-r kits to fit.
It will cost you in excess of $5k, prob closer to $10k to get original OEM CTR kits for it though.
Im thinking of getting the replica CTR kit for my G/F 09 vti.
hey..hey..hey.. back again from guantanamo bay:D
agree. save 2 x my life :angel:Quote:

I have only tried one redline clutch dump on the semis so far (to see how hard I could launch it) and the car was fine with it (was during hill climb event on a normal road surface). I would be a bit skeptical at launching hard on the drag strip though cause the level of grip is on a whole different level and very well could possibly snap something :P.Quote:

One other thing with regards to semis is, despite what people say, I personally don't think they wear out stupidly fast. Well mine havent anyway haha. Maybe I am not driving hard enough but I cannot notice any tread loss after 2 hard driving events and putting around Collie in between.
Buy a set and see how you go next time and keep us updated :)
well, if anyone in brisbane could meet up with me a finish off the wiring for my foglights, that would be awesome. ive had them fitted on my car for about a month, but the wiring hasnt been fully connected.:(Quote:

i dunno how 2 do it but would be more than happy to come along for moral support? =P i'm gonna buy fogs after i get my windows tinted so yeah - which fogs did u get and where from / how much?
got em from ebay, The Speedline:Quote:

speaking of window tinting btw, how dark are u gonna go and how much?
hey how is the fitment of those fogs.
i was just gonna give honda $620ish dollars to buy and install a set of OEM ones for me.. LOL
the fitment is fine, looks like OEM. here's a couple of pics
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...IMG_1692-1.jpg
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...IMG_1694-1.jpg
like i said, ive only got them fitted, they still havnt been hooked up to any power :(
still researching prices, 55EXX (username on this forum) gave me a phone number of the place where he got his done - tint express or something, i'll forwad u the pm. he got 15% for 200 bucks which was not 'great' quality tint..
he's got 20% 3M tint now but cant remember how much he said it cost.. i think tint-a-car place would do it for 295 - midnight express or whatever the darkest legal they have which is 35%.. its legal but doesnt look that great, i want 20 but insurance n stuff.. :(
i'll pm u now
EKDEZ - lookup 'touge tune' i think they're called; trader here on OH and they sell oem style fogs for fd for 145!!! that's where i'll be buying them, not sure if that price includes postage..
Just buy them from Honda for 450 and then install them yourself, that's what I did, the install isn't that hard because they are oem and everything comes ready in the box. Including the stalk to turn on the fogs :DQuote:

how was installation for you? hard / easy? tips / diy link ? ^_^
Although yes it's a bit more pricy but the wiring won't piss you off when you try to install it yourself compared to the aftermarket kits. You get a brand new stalk which you replace with the old one. Install was prob moderate, just follow the instructions that is supplied and you should be fine. Took me around 6 hours to install mine but if I was to do it again I rkn it would only take like 2, I was too scared to tug at the bumper to take it off so I wasted like a few hours there. But then again if you guys aren't that fussed then just go aftermarket.
^^^ yep, it'll take awhile. I got them installed on my previous Civic by a Honda technician ;) and it took him a few good hours to do everything properly.
^^ but wouldnt that be because they get paid by the hour? so they drag process out to make more money? or is it a flat cost to get them installed? .. is it possible to get aftermarket fogs and then go to honda n get them installed?
dont need honda to do it, if u got a mate whos a mechanic or something im sure he can figure things out from instructions if ur worried ull pull something ur not meant too..
