i complained to honda regarding my bad fuel economy and all they said was...
"yea thats normal"
i was doing 380 out of a 98 tank!
WTF!but now its fine after oil change, bak to 480!
380, im doing 250 LOL.
im doing 0 for 2 weeks while waiting for new thermo to come in from jap.. why the fsck does it take so long? coming on a boat or something?! ><"
the higher the octane fuel i use, the less km's i get out of the tank...91 was about 550-600, 95 was 500-550 now 98 is 450-500...wonder why?
yeah well im getting half of all of that lol... im a bit lazy to go to the dealer cos im 99% sure they'll just be like oh its normal.. and just waste my time...
haha.. tats weird.. i get around 450km out of 98.. use bp ultimate
even fd2s? - does any1 use e10 with their fd1? i used it once and only got like 500k's and the fuel light came on so never used it again.. + im always too scared and when i fillup i always have at least 8 litres left.. how do we measure it to get closer to using the 50L tank?
I use 95RON on an R18 engine. The manual recommends it, so i thought i'd try it... I used to use ULP before, but i can't remember what mileage i got from it.
When i refill i calculate my fuel efficiency. The best i got from PULP was 7.2 L/100km, and the worst was 8.4. I usually get high 7's.
I can't remember as far back as ULP.
You can go all the way down till the fuel gauge even has no bars left... You will still have about 5-10L left in the tank... And should be able to travel about 10kms at the least.. I've tried it xD
the most i did after no bars left, 42 KM!LOL!
haha I try not to get the light on or no bars coz then if you do end up with no petrol...
you'll look like an idiot on the street :/
anyone know installing a undercar neon light whether is legal or illegal? =)
illegal.
illegal while moving. if ur stationary its ok? .. yeah i didnt know about after no bars left we still have around 10L's .. i drive around 20-30-40ks before i fill-up and still only fill-up 42L so got 8Ls left haha
nice 1.. i like illegal stuff.. will put inside my plan list.. STREETGLOW!! =)
Yeah... but I laugh at ppl with neons... i think back to the need for speed games and the incredibly bad taste modifications it lets you do... including neons.
Put ur money into something less 'fully sic'
LOL. Well driving with it on in the streets, if a copper sees u ur screwed. Just install it and use it for show when ur parking, but i dont see the point of it really.
personally, i'd rather spend that money on detailing products...
saw a FD with underside neon lights.. but it only blinks when he indicated only.. funny as
LOL. i've got them on the interior just for kicks. cost me 10 bucks back a while ago and a joke to install so yeah thought why not, but underbody ones seem silly.
hehe ye, interior lights... i had em in my civic eg8 94.. first newbie mods i ever did.. come to think of it... i miss my eg8 :( good times
i got interior and undercar l.e.d's
makes u feel young
and if ur already young, it makes u look sexy. now im sexy guys...YES!!!
LOL!
any fotos of ur underbody cracker?
hmm.. personal opinion anyway.. doesnt mean we install something which needed a point.. lol.. even bodykit.. it doesnt give any point as well.. lol.. =)
i installed(DIY) my mugen bodykit a month ago, now the side skirts start to loose... you can see there were gaps between the skirt and body. could someone advice me how to fix it? any glue or what type of double tape are you guys used?
thanks
do something lik this on a FD.. looks pretty mad as

.. cheers to frekila's odyssey :thumbsup:
VIP style YO!
sexy man.. =)
That's VIP to the max dude!
yeah i asked this same question before about underglow..
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ht=neon&page=2
the lighting on that oddessy is called puddle lighting.. pretty cool. but isnt for everyone..
just wondering how u can mount the lights?
I'm more stock than the raw materials that the car was made with, but I have an obsession with lighting mods, and if i were to do a mod, it'd be lighting like mad.. blue light bulbs, LED footwells, LED fogs?
So much creativity available!
:wave: im thinking if i should get this

can be fitted on FD's :thumbsup:
mmmm!!!!!!
sounds interesting! i'll be keeping a close eye on how your's goes, if you get it lol..!!
just a thought.. i had super low rails on my ek civic.
now the ek is much smaller and i had problems seeing my bonnet and im 6 foot, or almost.... and just wondering how your gonna see over the fd dash and out the rear LOL!
i'd be wanting ones like this.. i just love the BRIDE on the top of the seat..
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...typefcivic.jpg
oh well wont be happening for a month or so LOL!
i'm around 6' 7" (how tall is 174cms??)
i think it should be fine with the seat height.. you could adjust em at the tallest setting or lowest setting.. see those 3 slots on the rails
oh yeah true.. oh well! show us how it goes..
how much is it gonna cost?
one bucket seat including rails.. little over 1grand.. but i havent yet to confirm the prices directly yet
im 181cm and i can't see the bonnet on the fd as it is.. wtf?! LOL.
hehe ye.. the FD front is short and the dashboard is longer so u wont see the bonnet anywaz.. no matter how tall u are
heres a teaser

you want more?? click on my JDMST car diary :wave:
fkn damnnn thats HOT. great job on the car mate. btw does the front bumper sit lower than the stock one?
oh yeahh
car will be lowered even more once i put on my sussy in a weeks time
hotttt. kinda wishing i got the fd2r kit now hahaha
touge tune is supplyin em
yeaaa, but its a lot more pricey than the mugen kit i got.. thats why i got the mugen kit. a lot cheaper lol
ahh true tat.. as well as sprayin cost for the kit on top of that
car looks awsome johnny!
question to everyone - the new fd front bar (09+) does it fit on older fd's? and would the modulo lip kit fit from 08 fit new 09? or is the body completely different?
just asking because i like look of new front bar and wondering if my modulo lip would fit on it if i was ever able to obtain one :)
i dont think a modulo lip would fit on the 09 FDs. the standard front bumper on the 09s have a little kind of lip at the bottom, which isnt there in the standard 06-08 civics.
but i think i read somewhere in a thread that it would be possible to transplant a 09 front onto a 06-08 model.
i was thinking the same thing. I need a new front bumper thanks to a careless parker at hurstville and was going to transplant the new model one on. Any ideas on what it would cost for the new bumper?
luv your fd johnny
hav u considered getting dual exhaust? will look heaps awesome :D
hahaha.. like the mugenRR.. nah, the rear FD2R bumper doesnt allow fitting for a dual exhaust unless im gonna cut it which i dont think im gonna do
wow johnny.. u using FD2R kit? any pics to share? =)

Thanks... that confirms that I'm not crazy when thinking they'd look good in yellow.
Will do the other side tonight.. and wire it up on Sunday. Then try and source some tint stuff in yellow.
(It's things like this that make me glad i always have another, crappier, car to drive around while I tinker with my pride n joy)
ahahhaa, btw touge tune (i think its them) sells those colours tint thingys lol. i reckon try it in blue =D
neone know how much rougly it will roughly cost to fix a cracked rear mugen lip? :(
you cracked your rear Stig? i cracked my front lol, wana swap ?? j/ks
ouch =[. just buy a new one hehe. 200 bucks i think?
wud suck really bad to crack a lip and need to replace it all the time :(
just gotta be very careful haha. im a bit worried now after i get the car dropped 2" on 18s... will be needing to keep some money saved up for replacement lips haha
it's something we gotta live with for lowering the car...
