lol wait.. when are u gonna do it? i wanna see!
anyone heard of AAA Accident Repair Centre in Burwood, Melbourne?
are they any good?
grille is on.. double-sided tape is all thats holding it in at the moment. problem is that the holes at both sides + middle to hold the grille in are too small and the big-ass clip thing won't go through so need to re-drill them. too tired now lol
My gf was driving while i was asleep... we only found out when we parked and got out of the car :P And not until then did she realise what that "flying black thing" was while she was driving lol
very nice man! haha i'll have a go with zip ties when i get home ktvin =] only thing is becos the top rubbery radiator cover shud clip into the top of the grille too so yeh i'll see wat happens when i get home n try

anyone got or tried them?
so basically the entire 'post a picture of your latest mod' + everything in the appearance gallery should be deleted too yeah? go let the mods know.. seeing as how talking about pictures is not on-topic!
wtf **** came outta nowhere..
ontopic - got my grille on today, kinda sad; WTB - better fitment =( pics to come.. (or can i? ...)
show us a picture of fitment.. (Y)
you can never get perfect fitment of aftermarket stuff unless its genuine mugen etc..
tbh.. i dont like the mugen grill :\
it just doesnt do it for me..
are there any other grills out there? anyone know of n e?
LOL also has n e one noticed how uber long our front doors are O: i only noticed it today LOl
Yeah same I dont really like the Mugen grill
Ekdez you can also get the Type-R grill but I think you need to make some adjustments for it to fit. There was a DIY on fitting the Type-R grill done, just check the DIY thread
type r grill is the same as the standard one.. pretty much.
looking for something different LOl.. mm might try google..
also n e one know the name of the guy who owns a white FD civic.. with the j's exhaust over in perth?
can you pelase pm me his username
thanks!!
only have a crap pic off my phone atm.. uploading it now
so what do the feel's and BYS etc use...
they just use a bumper which stretches into a grill hey :\
that sucks..
OH yeah btw..
my j's titatnium exhaust.. which i got..
the modifications which need to be made to fit it on are..
1 - i need to get an extra pipe made to fill the gap between the headers and the start of the bpipe cos its too short.. its just a straight pipe. will be made from mild steel not titanium.. cos no one in canberra is equipped to do titanium LOL how sad..
2 - also the hangers are a tiny bit off.. so the muffler man said he would weld a hanger off my stock hangers(attached to the chasis) and just use the orginial bushings to hold it up =]
should only cost around $200 to create and install =]
so if you guys in the future want a j's exhaust those are the only mod's (Y)
otherwise its perfect fit.
i ran around wif no grill b4...it kind off looks UGLY 2 be honest
i like the no grille look.. here's a pic without and with - would there be any probs driving around with no grille?
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...L/IMG_0029.jpg
my grille atm - looks a bit funny
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...L/IMG_0032.jpg
lol i'll get another pic later on.. the angle makes it look worse then it is haha
lol.. dude.. u gotta have something there
if no grill, u could get some shiet going into ur engine like dust, bugs, leaves, smog from other cars which could get into your intake.. and especially water when it rains
i love chit chat coz i am such a biatch~~
no1 stops me LOL
hey~ any1 know how much it'll cost jst to get my side mirrors painted black?
whats a fd?
i know...jst like Australia Honda not bringing in the FD2R
FAIL
Guys relax...
This thread is meant for discussing about actual mods and not 10 posts about how an exhaust looks like it's doing push ups.
let's just end it here...

now to put it in :D
lol.. fair go dude..
it was quite funny how it was doing push up's ;)
out imaginations are wild!!! RAWR!!
just goes to show how tough a js racing exhaust really is.. u reckon mugen can do it one handed
o btw havent had time to post up my new mods effin exams but im sure u guys have seen it already..but ill bring in the close ups
Wow.. Parked next to a pretty hot Fd this morning haha! I left a note on their window to come join us on ozhonda so hope that wasn't too creepy LOL!!$:$:7:&3
should have taken pics!!!!
I did get pics haha! I have to leave early today so finish at 2/3 instead of 5 so kinda sucks cos if we all finish at 5 I could maybe talk to the owner.. I'll get a few more pics later
And it's the first time I've seen a nodded Fd at my work and the white one has a parking sticker which means they work in the same complex muahaha.. Hopeully we meet again
oh wow. small world hey? hahaha. get those pics up =D
LOL. just to stay on topic then - what mods r on that fd khoi?
wudn't that be a spotted thing then...?
Careful, u might get called a noob and flamed lol
yeh its a spotted thing so just be carful, dont disclose information as 2 WHERE u saw it and like wat time and stuff and u should be sweet
what mods = perfect FD
XD
so it was a white fd w/ a few stickers - centre parking sticker (so i know he works in same building just dunno where), cusco sticker (maybe its got cusco coilovers? - lower then my car), and an option1jdmgarage sticker or something? haha.. it has red H badges dark ass tint! and what look to be maybe replica (no offence) te37s in black w/ red lip in a multi-fit 5 stud so probs 5x114.3 and 5x100? cos it had 10 holes.. 17"
doesnt sound like much but it just looked really nice lol, shame i couldnt be around to hopefulyl talk to the owner - pix to come later w/ deleted no. plate
lol.. i hope he actually has performance parts of those brands in his car, and not just stickers.
and the wheels are most definitely replicas, since i dont think rays make multi-stud wheels.
anyway, i hope he joins up with ozhonda or u meet him again, so we can organise a bigger brisbane fd meet. :thumbsup:
courtesy / map light yes? its in the middle above gearstick.
where did you get the lights smd + festmoon from? i'll be wanting to change mine soon =]
oh ok..I thought that the festoons were for the map lights :p
pretty keen to see what they look like turned on
i'm using for trunk light but ebay sells one that has an adaptor that can fit anything. so maybe use for back light above rear seats.
also got this, middle brake light.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/store.../7440-xLX3.jpg
i got mine from http://www.superbrightleds.com
its from the US, can get them off ebay. ebay has some different things.
or you can get it here in aus i think the festoon 2SMD interior lights are $13 each. US$6.95 on that site.
i have it installed will post up the pics later
ohh shit thts a good idea for boot light. well i hooked up two purple LED strips for my boot lighting lol =D. with a white LED bulb inside the socket.. no where near bright enough, i'll prob be getting the festoon lights sometime after exams =D
any body know where to get some lighting for the key thingy? my dad found it annoying when he couldnt search the keyhole in the dark..and hes only driven my car like twice during night time
yeah unoriginally its called a 'keyhole light' i think. dmx has it installed on his car so maybe we could ask to get that too? i want one =]
im surprised that the audm fd doesnt have the keyhole light..I thought it was quite a basic thing to have, and I'm sure it wouldn't have cost them that much to include as a standard especially since the fd isn't that low in price as well..
liquid: what size (mm) festoon bulbs do the map lights take?
the lights inside the car are 31mm, you can take it out and measure it =) that is what i did hehe.
They sell like a 41mm holder not sure if you can get that to fit in the light holders. might need some modifications. i just went for simple as i wouldn't know how to do it. If you want to get the PCB board of SMD LED lights to fit in the boot like it did, it doesn't actually fit in the holder you need to kinda just stick the board on to the metal.
Thanks..I've just ordered the festoons from a local seller, picking it up tomorrow :D
I ordered 3 x 31mm Festoon SMD LEDs for $30 NZD
Are the ones you bought 31 or 36mm? The one im getting (31mm) has only 1 LED module whereas the 36mm ones have 2, if it fits then I might change my order as I noticed the ones you've got has 2.
mine are 31mm with 2 SMD LEDS.
you can buy from here

think this shop is cheaper

got my black grille on today :)
also got red badges. a lot of you guys probably dont like the idea of a vti with type r badges, but i just see them as red badges and i like the look of em :p
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...06-09_1541.jpg
red looks better anyway man
no to red! i'm thinking of getting a black/white H badge overlay later on when i get my carbon grille with red badges =D. white H and black backing ;)
why dont u just paint the stock H symbol white, since your car is already black?
Since everyone is changing their grilles, anyone want to sell me their stock chrome grille :D
black grill with red H looks nice (Y)
