oops, didn't mention that it was done privately, he just bought the foggies fr Honda and did it at his place, around $400 for everything back in 2007. He took his time to do everything nice and neat so prepare yourself if you attempt DIY.

Why do u need to solder...
Just do it dodgy rice style strip the wire a bit and connect the wires together and electrical tap them all together haha...
Or do it a little bit better..and just crimp all the wires together...
Hey man I have done my foggies yesterday! Custom 3" round shape... Got the wiring kit from Super-C for 20 bucks. It's not hard, there's a manual on the College Hill web site if you need help.Quote:

i think earlier in this thread, a couple of guys were picking up replica kits in melb or syd for less than $500?? if there are any more places like that, i would like to get in contact with them to see if they can freight up to brisbane.
hey aero, pm 'markcivicvti' and ask where he got his done. i think it was roughly 1k for l lip kit, paint, n install
wow. round foggies is freakin HOT. looks like mugen rr a bit.. or am i just dreaming =/.. btw hornsby honda - got my fd2 from there too =D
dude why do u have steelies on? you do realise its illegal yes?Quote:

im also confused.. why is it illegal to run steelies?
its something really stupid like affecting visibility of the car or something like that (yes i know people have black rims which are legal) so the law is really dumb, but ive had mates who have just had steelies on and they have been pulled over and made to put hubcaps on.
steelies are illegal? which state are you in? wtf.. seen so many cars around with steelies and never heard of anyone getting pulled over.. =S
guess who got a set of tein super streets in the mail today!
*giggles like a school girl and runs away*
How much mate? I tried getting a quote from the edward he never got back to me... also other place said tein super streets weren't made for my car lol...
haha i had the same problem with the fujitsubo legalis r for the fd1, one place offered them, another place says they dont make it for the civic... and i clearly showed them the link as well -_-
Cheers, you rock :)

yeh...2k mark for a branded catback sounds right...i paid 1.8k for my kakimoto regu06... -.-'...bit of a rip when you think about it...
wahhh now im confused lol
so tein super street is compatible with the civic vti-l?
oh i got my mugen lip installed the other day lol
kinda dodgy :S the backs falling of ><
hey stig can u pm me price and where u got the teins? cheers
lol... better fix urkit up mate, dont want what happend to ej - side skirt fell off and he ran over it or something lol =/.. so yeah uhm get that fixed up buddy, drill some extra holes if u need =/..

Dont think its caught on anywhere...
hrmmm sounds like a stupid law to me...
i took the wheel caps off immediately when i bought my VTi and ran it on the stock black steelies for 1 month and i never got flagged down by police (in QLD).
That aint in NSW thats for sure
i dont think thats even a law...wad hpnd wen ur runny ur spares???
i got dz 101 2day
where did u get them from? Did u replace all 4 tyres>
nar my kumhos only
so now im running direza up fronts and sp sport 9000 rears
how much did that cost if u dont mind me asking? wonder how much it'll cost if i ever need to replace tyres or hopefully i will have new rims by then but yeah..
it costed me 640 for the pair
Coming my way... will be on the ship in a week.

And when it goes on I'll be likely to go from SRI to CAI... so my TopFuel zero-1000 SRI (partly carbon fibre too) will be up for grabs.. has served me well for 6mths.
http://a3.vox.com/6a00fad697b9e80004...04230005-500pi
It'll really depend on whether I'm gonna be worried about rain water dripping into the SRI through the vented bonnet... as the SRI is really quite good.
holy shiettt thats hot. looks like rene's one. the vents are just the right size. wanna pm me the price of it mate? =D
pm me the price as well mate
mite consider
bonnet looks tops can u pm me price please champ? and we need to organise out mini-bris fd meet aand which cai you getting? ^_^
how's the SRI sound?
u guys wont believe how cheap im getting the cf bonnet for...700 aud cos my supplier is geting in a conainer of stuff.
sri sounds good..i really like it but as i said.. worried about rain.
HOLY SHIT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. doesn't look like we can get a deal like that again hey? =.=... fcuk LOL.
can u order me a cf bonnet as well mate? lolz...looks hot as!
i think i smell a group buy.. =DDD! who's in?!
list of those interested - please copy paste and add your name if you are:

why run a CAI if your worried about rain... running a cai your more likely to suck up water by going through a puddle..
up to you tho..
wouldnt the vent reduce the chance of heat problems with an SRI? guess u got a bit of a dilemma lol.
BTW: whats a good liquid/alcohol to use to clean my paint surface before applying badges and stickers?
voids your warranty but yes?Quote:

Haha fair enough mate :thumbsup:Quote:

cheeers mate.
new member here. great thread. good to see everyones rides
welcome welcome, get some pics up of yours! man i wish i lived at surfers..
quick perving at other ppls car.. where is your car??
stock standard civic sport my07,, picked it up on friday. will look to do some mods at some point, but for now its better than the '94 daewoo 1.5 i was driving around in.
tried uploading a pic but the attachment window fails, is this due to low post count or something?

hey, has anyone know of how to put an illuminated section around the ignition barrell? - to explain, like a circle of light which will light up when you unlock the car or something.. exactly the same as what is around the cigarette lighter :)
dmx would know! as can be seen in his multiple youtube videos showing the keyhole light on his fd :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEgcrWTzbPo
ok i have a dilemma - i want to black out my grill - BUT my dad wants me to keep the stock grill - so he said to get an aftermarket one... ok i dont like the mugen grill, would rather have like a typeR one or one like rene's cf grill, but i want it BLACKK cos i think just a CF grill among a normal black hood etc would look out of place? Soooo anyone got any ideas on what i can do? Just want a black grill but not the stock one lol...
shop around for another oem fd1 grille and paint that one black? LOL
or get an fd2r grille and paint that black?? i dunno... JDM Concept selling some fd2r grilles on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/OEM-HONDA-CIV...3286.m20.l1116
$250 tho..
hmm.. i found a carbon fiber one on ebay for abt 250 including the red badges - but im not sure if just a carbon grill would look good with no carbon hood or anything?
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...H0022A-005.jpg
wat u guys think?
yess, i agree.. dont bother spraying your OEM stock grill, keep it aside
ive got a FD2R grill, sprayed it black matching the car colour, and put on aluminium meshes on behind and sprayed that black too.. last addition is place a genuine red H on the grill.. very nice.. HOWEVER, im not entirely too sure if the FD2R grill would fit on nice onto the OEM front bumper.. u may need to DIY to get it to fit unless u go get a FD2R front bumper.
u can get them to fit, but u will need to have some sort of adhesive like double sided 3m tape on the bottom part of the grille to hold it securely against the oem fd1 bumper.
im looking to spray my oem grille because im just that cheap and dont want to spend the extra $250, especially after ive already bought red fd badges :p
btw johnny, what was the painting process? couple coats of primer then few coats of black spray paint followed by coats of finish? any particular brands?
it was primed a few times, then 3 coats of black, then 2 coats of finish.. dont know the particular brand coz i had it done by my uncles mates
get from www.drm-motorsport.comQuote:

more details :
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...59#post2177959
but red badges are replicas - but i don't see what the point of having genuine red badges is anyway if i have the chance to grab some reps - and yeah the cf is genuine.
just got the email from drm on the mugen grill like rene's - 375 inc. shipping - but no red badges included.. wow thats a lot lol.
does anybody know how to apply leather trim to the door panels of the FD? im gonna to try and DIY this. apparently ur just supposed to use like contact glue or sumthin and just glue the trim inserts over the standard ones?
does that mean, i just chuck glue on the oem door trims and slap the new ones over them? that just sounds a bit dodgy to me. is there a better way to do it? like to glue the new fabric (leather) behind the door panel or sumthin? has anyone done it before??
All i can say is good luck :)
