depending what mods you done... if i were you, i rather keep the money inside an account specific for your car need instead of giving them to insurance company.Quote:

i dont insured my car with just car , shannon etc...for the modified car. i insured with gio for normal car rate. whatever difference if i were to insured them with shannon etc.. i just put in the bank and withdraw them if i need repair.
but this strategy may not work for you if you are quote equally expensive for both normal insurance company and so called for modified insurance company. does this strategy makes sense?
cos at the end of day what i am afraid of is my car get stolen. other than that, i am a careful driver and it work out cheaper than giving my money to insurance company which i almost never make a claim.
my 2 cents
not sure about the engine mods, but i was told that wheels would only void warranty if they requried an engineer's certificate. ie if you went the standard 2 inches up, no problem. Honda hasnt hassled me about it yet...Quote:

They can easily deny it and then you would have to go through court n stuff, a lot of hassles. If your insure the insurance company will chase after them n u would have to worry about it. The other party can also declare not to pay for the damages and they will just get a fine from the cops or something, not sure on that entirely just what parents said.Quote:

If you insure your car for normal car rate then in the case of an accident wouldn't u not get anything because u didn't tell them about the added modifications you have put on the car?
If you don't make a claim then you would get the highest no claim bonus of 60% so the premium isn't that much right?

i just fixed my simota air intake...ive been driving for more than a day now and no engine light is on.
what i did was i got a muffler centre to weld a "nipple" on the intake pipe and re-route the vaccum hose to it
i'll show u

it doesnt mean that i cannot claim on the insurance if something happen. i just dont insure the extra stuff. it just makes the insurance cheaper but i still covered if somone hit me or i hit someone.
my civic on the other hand is different. i only covered to third party only ie i hit someone, insurance pay for the other car and i pay my own repair
cos of insurance of my civic and cu2 is the same. but my civic is old car. so it is not worth it and better of putting the saving on comprehensive for my own repair.
in both instance i still use insurance but just minimise the cost. different level and different strategy.
as i mention this strategy may not work for all people depending on your own factor, element of risk etc and i am a very careful driver.
same.Quote:

any problems or complaints with them so far? is ur gf ok with the ride comfort :p
The old D2's have alot of bad things about them, but the new revised ones (current) are perfectly fine.
IMO, they are great since i had no problems with them. The ride comfort isn't too bad as the dampers are adjustable to how soft/hard you want your ride.
ah icic.Quote:

because Just Car won't insure my carbon bonnet but with everything else.
Alot of people say Just Car will insure anyone but when you do get into an accident that is your fault they try their best to get out of it saying what you have is illegal and stuff to screw you over.
Also if you hit someone and you drive your car back and say your car has open air filters which are illegal and you change it back to normal and then claim the insurance is that like possible even though it is cheating the system lol. Not that i would do that :p just if that is possible to do haha
anyone know the size of our FD front and rear speakers? 6" or 6.5"?
the ride comfort TBH is WAY better than when i was on kings
and i havent had any problems with them apart from the squeeking from the fronts but its tolerable and u get used to it after like a week or so
i am referring to mods that insurance are willing to cover but i decided not to cover them.Quote:

anyway most insurance company will try to get away not to pay you. thats why sometimes i think insurance company is like a crook. they take your money away and when you needed them, they disown you.
i only have comprehensive insurance for primary reason to insure against being stolen and drive very carefully so that i dont get into any accidents.
lol wtf they make a squeaking noise? anyone else with d2's on their fd n have same prob? wouldn't that be replaced by warranty or something?
i cant be screwed taking it out again!!!!umm apparently according to fallen that when i installed it i forgot to play around with the shock...he had the same prob but he can be bothered to unintsall and resend it...i cbf
LOL!
hahaha, cbf... just get tanabes! hahaha =].
BTW tim man what size speakers do our cars use. 6" or 6.5"?
i think its a 6"
im buying new splits for mine upfront soon and i'll let u know
ohh ok haha nice, btw tim man u able to come on msn now?! =D.
good work man! :thumbsup: hows now? no engine light shows? so the main problem is the air breather yea, not the filter.Quote:

thanks yo!
i cant wait till injen is on then ill sound clip again!
farkkk you.. im so jealous =[.
any power gains with the js system btw?
Very nice exhaust, has a good tone to it :thumbsup:.
I hope it gave you some gains, as I'm very interested hehe. I need some more power to lug my car audio around. Though being illegal on my P plates keeps holding me back grrr :(
you can feel a VAST improvement in acceleration at 3000 rpm's all the way to redline. promise! it was worth it!
ekdez skipped my question.. =(
Its for the fd1 Wayne im pretty sure :confused:
yeah fd1. 08 vti-L
stock intake, stock headers, custom made 60 stainless steel extension for b pipe + full j's titanium 60rs. :thumbsup:
argh cant get over the hot note, once u get ur intake ull have the acceleration off the start all the way to redline.. hectik! hahaha, how much did it cost ya btw?! kinda interested in doing it a bit later
Would also love to know the cost ekdez.
Btw anyone know of any headers available? I read awhile back someone having headers but don't remember if it was a custom or not gah
1795 for catbackQuote:

different system i think. not sure.Quote:

some exhaust is not even full titanium. this one is 100% titanium from end to end.
but i am not denying that this muffler will be out of budget for 90% of the people
thats why js make steel version muffler only at 585.00
price for the cat back was JDMconcepts price. lol
the bpipe extention + install of system was $280 for stainless.. all bolt on no shit chop and change welding jobs. =]
there are headers but they are in the US.. :( i want some.
yeah.. i am kind give a big big warning not to chopped off anything. its such a beauty :DQuote:

yea man, it was the breather.. now the engine works a beauty. no engine lightQuote:

jst wondering whos actually getting them?
are they 100% fit for our FDs? its a rather large piecce to replace though
i checked out jspec
their's look alright
http://www.jspec.com.sg/product_img/...ole%202%20.JPG
anybody got any ideas and interests?
*no intentions in group buy or advertising, just general interest of the product and discussion*
how much is jspec? i am going to buy from AESTMOD SGD$950 + SGD$300 shipping = ~AU$1k
shit thats expensivee yo... i need a job =[
haha yeah it is expensive but if you were to buy the original part from honda it would cost the same.
along with the fender i'm buying carbon exterior door handles, carbon engine cover, carbon radiator cover, carbon scuff plate, carbon outside door trim the chrome part that is stuck on our doors.
... no i don't have an obsession with carbon fiber >.<
yes u do........ hahaha. how much is all of that anyway? kinda interested in carbon door trip and handles =D.
erm door trims on the outside is SGD$450 i think, the handles are SGD$750. This is buying the original part from honda and then doing it. If you send your original part there it is cheaper but i figure it would be the same price sending it back and forth. maybe not for the door handle but i would like to drive my car haha. think it takes a week or more depends how long it takes to get there. EMS shipping should get there in 2-3 days
ohhh shit, that is a bit above my budget atm.. haha damn =[. get some pics when u install it all! looking forward to seeing it haha =D
cosmetic mods ftw.!
