haha wow only civ sport have that option.. even my old ass 93 starlet gt had the INT option for the wipers
what do vti/vti-l have?
don't all cars come with variable windscreen wipers?
we have nothing!
lightweight
hahahahhahaa
true dat
variable windscreen wipers?? oh come on
if you dont have the cash for genuine and ur not gonna be driving hard, then replicas should be fine. u wont get as much cred, but as long as u get a good set that you like, then it doesnt really matter imo.Quote:

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...1/R0010949.jpg
just install it this arvo.. took around 20 minutes to do.. definitely need a power drill and 2 jacks for this install
what is a tie-bar for? same as RSB, FSB?
rear tie-bar is kinda like a strut brace.. except its on the underside, improve chassis stiffness
RSB improves handling performance
but overall, i just wanna get some bling.. hehe
is it visible from behind past ur type r diffuser? looks like u may hav to look underneath the actual car to see it.
u can see it, if someone is driving behind me from a distance, but not up close
and yeh, definitely gotta looks down to see it.. also mention the car is lowered, but not too low where risk rippin the beaks off
im lowered with a mugen kit, and its the same deal, from afar u can see the beaks bar, but the closer they come the less visible it is

has the cusco rear strut bar caused any problems with your undercarriage yet? really need to purchase a rsb soon.
remember how when you was considering buying it a while ago.. there was some talk about sub frames cracking etc.. because it was too stiff or something??
thats what I want to know aswell.. or maybe go for the ultraracing rsb which is 19mm compared to cuscos 22mm..
where can you buy this??
its DMX FD with mugen footrest?

curtis....i just noticed the footrest shape...is it the same as the rubber stock footrest??..will it cover the whole part of the stock footrest?
won't fit. it's for RHD models. I'm considering selling it to someone from the US, or doin a ghetto job and cutting it myself..
thats not the mugen footrestQuote:

Cheers!
to be honest, i really dont know yet coz ive got on tanabe coilovers and cusco RSB and i definitely feel improvements in ride and handling performance so its hard to tell if the rear tie-bar does much.. lolQuote:

um yeah. quick update on that spring noise issue with the coilovers. got my car taken into the shop this morning. the guys reinstalled the front struts and made sure everything was tight. also made sure they were sufficiently lubricated.Quote:

see the blue metal on either side on the lower arm bars, thats where the rear sway bar is, comes with reinforcements to hold the 23mm bar
That's some strong-ass weed. it's cracked the concrete!
lol.. i actually had to pull out the weed plant to get a decent photo shot
i reckon once F7 make a LCA for fd's and asr makes one as awell.. then you should grab them johnyy then your undercarrage will look boss.
Hey fellas

hey guys,
I have been speed reading thrg from page 1 to 480 and still could not find out whether if we could change the stock pedals...
problem is i realise the accelerator is hinged on to the floor board on its bottom unlike the clutch and break pedal which is hinged on top.
I m not used to the accelerator hinged this way and hence i always over rev my car...i m pretty sure the pedals can be changed rite?
cheers!
wow u read 480 pages... that must have taken sometime :p
i replaced my brake pedal but not sure about the acc pedal. the acc pedal of the FD2R or Mugen pedals that u can buy is only to go over the OEM, it is screwed on. the brake and clutch pedals u can just remove the rubber and replace them. the foot rest is just screwed on to the OEM as well
.....unless i'm doing it all wrong lol
i think what he means is that he wants to change the whole unit to the drop from the top kind of thing
i dont think u can do that
our acc pedals are like euros anyway
hahahahahahha
gota get used to it matey
if you have money money, there should always be a way to change things lol
niice! as in the type r or the si?Quote:
Originally Posted by ganj3
hahaha..that is correct mate...i m totally not used to it man...my previous ride was manual as well but the acc pedal was hinged on the top so i had no issues at all...Quote:

thanx for the input guys
hey guys how is everyone long time no post etc etc lol
i know there was talk of it earlier in the year. has anyone found out if you can swap a k20 or k24 into a R18 FD1 yet? very interested atm
oo and still trying to find a mugen style lip kit.. where you guys been buying from?
cheers guys
