already had a look cant find anything
and how much for install?
I bought mine from On the Run Motorsports in Melbourne for $700 incl. shipping but they said it was the last set. Maybe give them a call and see if they have anymore
stig... are u talking about the dude on firesport? that is selling the r18 engine?.. =S.. i was wondering who that was aswell
im not sure if he is the same guy, or there is ANOTHER k20 fd1 (likely hood is, it is the same guy).
its apparently getting done at mod project for those melb viewers at home :)
hehe if anyon1 knows him.. tell em to join us
luv to c how this project goes
who's that guy who wanted to k20 his fd1 on the gold coast? so fail i saw a white fd w/ type r looking front bar as i was parking so i parked near it for a look.. it was an auto fd1 w/ a type r WING! just 09 front bar didnt look type r, no skirts, no rear bar, and had fd1 steelie hubcaps :( numberplate was 'OFD20' :(
go typeR wing!!!
Yeah, The guy actually dribbles when he says "VTEC NOISE BABY"Quote:

This guy makes a supra and honda civic noises with his mouth
FUNNY AS
Ahahaahahah
HAHAHA that's gold! so accurate too
lol. i saw a white prefacelift fd1 at sunnybank with just a type r wing and black painted vti-l wheels. it was awkward looking to say the least, but i'd like to see some more brisbane fd drivers up in here. there are certainly plenty of 'modified' fds on the streets. especially in the southside/sunnybank region.Quote:

its take around 15minutes to install... if you dont really know how to do it, better safe than sorry, go to a mechanic
damn.. too difficult - i will consult timmie abt this hehe
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspe...r-tie-bar.html
this link should help, its not the BEAKS but on the P2R tie-bar.. same install story
yea ryan, we'll do it together once we both have it
LOL!
shoudnt be tooo hard
nice! when u getting it tim?! im paying for mine tomorrow hehehe. needa do those damn leds too =[
btw - thanks johnny!
yeah ive seen that one too at ms aero, this one was just white with hubcaps and OFD20 plates ><!!
timmie when u getting ur beaks bar man? mine comes in tomorrow =]
any benefit to the beaks war w/o rear sway bar? apart from bling factor obviously
for all those who are in melb, eastern honda is having a special offer on fog lights, something like $495 fitted on 06-08 models.
im getting it next yearQuote:

hey guys, how big is the diameter of our exhaust?
comparing to see if buying the J's racing full exhaust worth it or just buyng the muffler be better. if the size of the piping is the same, might as well just the muffler save my money for my headers and b pipe by weapon R
my j's titanium is 60 MM pipe from cat back.
OEM is like 30MM.. its pez, if you take yours off and look at it you will be liek wtf.
BIG difference in accelerator response, and sexy noise from mine..
if you get stainless it will be different, prob will drone like other normal ones, rather then be raspy.
p.s. where you gonna get your weapon-r headers from? you gonna run no cat? $20g fine..
over the rev range above 3, i cannot hear my js racing muffler over my injen cai, might get some custom piping if i cbf lol
i'll be lookin forward to the J's Racing :cool:
or just get the original j's ones hehe =]Quote:

so the intake sound is louder than the j;s racing catback when below 3k rpm? im really interested in the j's C304 exhaust!!!
injen CAI wont make that intake sound until u reach 3k rpm and above
I cant wait till i save enough for the Injen CAI.. you guys make it sound so interesting :P (loud) haha..
J's Racing c304r 60mm on a FD2R

no he said his intake is louder then his axle back.Quote:

who needs titanium exhaust when you can get a chrome dual tip one from honda? hahaha jokes
my for sale thread yo
u love your stickers aye.
Lol wtf tim?!!!?!
mines more higher pitched when rev'd. but none the less.. no one who looked at mine would realize its titanium compared to a stainless one, on face value.Quote:

hmm nice nice
nah, i was just travelling interstate so im covering up my baby and lil did i know my colleaque place stickers on em
LOL!
but i love the W-tec yo!
^^ what kind of tape is that?? might do the same thing lol..does it come in white color?
btw i saw your car twice already...one in UTS and in quay st city...lol...
UTS?
really?
i dont go to UTS tho
its a 3m Painters tape
Going to melb?
does anyone have an aftermarket alarm with their car? do we even need one?
like i know the alarm goes off when we open the door from the inside while its locked (tried it once, scared the shit outta me)
tim has an aftermarket alarm on his fd. and yeh that happened to me as well - damn scary lolol
yea i got one
but mine is fd1 remember
did you just get a standard security alarm (something with a more gangsta immobilizer and goes off when the car moves or glass breaks?)
i got the "more gangsta" LOL!
immobiliser, shock sensor, tilt sensor, ultrasonic sensor, auto window winder, connected to the parker, send sms to phone and things like that
very interesting, something just hit me just then, if i were to get something like that (tilt sensor, shock sensor etc) it would just totally defeat the purpose of me having remote control air bags cos the alarm would just go off everytime... i failed -_-
as long as you dont arm ur alarm
u should be fine
i mean, why would u pop ur bags when u locked ur doors?
i got the wireless remote kit so i can do it from the outside =D just wank factor lol
How about i take the remote from you so you don't have to worry about it :p
i think you should get a kit so you can use the remote IF you were to take it off me :p
dw about the wife, just slowly buy and install without her knowing haha
sneaky sneaky
hey EKDEZ, would really like to know wat mods were made to fit the fd2r exhaust on our fd2s and wat size diam would be the most beneficial cus i noticed there is 60mm and 70mm availiable? thanks
any honda oem parts online shop you recommend?..i have the part number already..
i need to buy this rear cushion clips.....the seatcover installer accidentally broke it..
any experience with this site?
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
Honda DX (US) = Honda FD Aus ?? not all the parts but i think the rear seat parts are the same with FD??

Not sure if you can get oem parts in here.. but you can try contact honda australia and tell them the part number and they will tell youthe price.Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised if that little bit is $30
^^ got the clips already from the dealer....$7 each...whew!!..i almost ordered it online for $20
oh wow. good job!
i wonder hwo much a set of fogs would cost (without their $$$ installation)
