Modded champagne FDs are definitely unique. Ive only ever seen one other modded champagne colour FD and that was on the SG forums
anyone here has foggies and fujita cai intake?
i cant fit my foggies in for the left coz the intake is in the way
so im running with right foggies only
drag style
LOL!
^Dam, what a PITA. Can you get a smaller pod?
Ekdez, sry man, but champagne is for seedy old men. Unique, but a special, seedy kind of unique.
yea i guess, but will i be loosing on performace?
Not unless u get a 3A racing filter, hahahahaha
Essentially u want an optimisation between filtration and airflow, and if you've read that completely unbiased PDF report about the different air filters... you'll know what i mean.
Air Filter Shootout
I dont think that Fujita has designed their CAI down to the filter - i mean, it's a replacable item and all, but i doubt it'll have a heavily influence the ram air effects created
hmmm maybe i'll give that a go
ive cut out the dam placement for it and now it doest even work
im giving up for today!
LOL!
im running an injen cai and both of my foggies if that helps and my fog hid ballast tucked behind it LOL
this is random question, anyone know how long the oem wheel studs fds are? planning to use 15mm - 20mm hub centric spacers? do i require to change the oem studs to extended studs?
You have two sets of bolts for spacers dude... if u use longer bolts, u put shitloads of stress onto the longer bolts.
depends, what kind of hubcentric spacers are they?Quote:

like these then yes
http://www.midland-ferrari.co.uk/edi...ype1spacer.jpg
is there gonna be enough thread left to hold the 15mm - 20mm spacers on the oem studs?
it is highly recommended to change to longer studs when using spacers to distribute the load evenly so they dont snap if youre not using bolt on spacers
I'd suggest bolt on spacers ey... longer studs is getting dangerous
bolt on spacers are the ones with the holes so that the bolt goes flush with the spacers?
I think bolt on means that you bolt them on to the hub, then bolt the wheel onto the hub, as opposed to a long stud
correct!
any brand in mind what i should get?
h&r, ichiba or weds (can get weds from jdmconcept - but they arent hubcentric)
which brisbane people are going on the march clem7 cruise? we should have meetup first then goto first spot together :)
stig, is ur foggies oem or ebay?
hey, whats the center bore size for our FDs?
Get bolt on spacers at your own peril, I just killed a wheel bearing and a contributing factor was the 15mm spacer I was using.
what branded spacers were u using?
64.1mm from memoryQuote:

depends on what rim and how wide you can go... its mostly all about offset
and seeing what the rim looks like from others
Following on from that,Quote:

Unless you decide to run something like 18x7.5 +0 offset, but most rim manufacturers choose not to produce those sorts of wheels anymore because there is no demand for them.
But then again, having said that, it all depends on the style of rim.
Its do-able tho.
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/...ffda8400_o.jpg
18x7.5 +22 all round with 225/40/18
And from the looks of it, those rims are pushing the limits..
Could also be the tire too...
Fyi, Euro fitment is similar to fd civic. =]
yeah although kit is running a 7.5+22... they have been discontinued since 2002 lol so its near impossible to get another set unless you get very lucky
Hey Henry, I'm sorry but i think gonna have to get some t1s :\
Don't worry they will be WBC finish tho.
nooo!!! means you get more aggressive offset than me! haha
Maybe ;)
Still deciding whether im going to make myself BROKE buying both both the air sus and wheels...
Anyone have the FD Sport wheels (Type R lookalikes) they wanna sell?? I am after a set
im trying to sell simota air carbon charger tooo
funny u ask that.. i am LOL - pm me price and info pleaaase =].
why u guys selling simota intake? what are u guys planning to get? simota intake not that good?
everyones just got new intakes hahah (tim got fujita)
lol j-spec23 and evil_1998 just got 3A racing intakes too!
yea but are they for the civic fd2 the sports 2.0L?
wheres 3A from? and any for fd2?
Nah it was a DIY modification of the stock housing to put the 3A pod filter as a SRI... lol
ooh right hahaha niceeee
how does the simota carbon charger go? any power gain? as i am waiting for my carbon charger 2 to come in
ohh really. u got fd2? well tim says it does increase pull and responsiveness. but u have to get it sorta custom setup to a CAI rather than an SRI or connected to the stock resonator.
well im gona get a duct connect to it and feed it to the front... also would u happen to know how long our oem wheel studs are?
yeh do that - that is effectively a CAI. u got an fd2 mate?
uhm.. no clue lol. i just know my stock wheel nuts are about 34mm long. just like the fd?
yea i got a fd2. planning on throwing on jdm dc5r rims with spacers all round as the offset are really off to oem offset of fd. but the thing is i might have to grind down some of the oem stud down to fit the spacers.
ooh, mate if u have fd2 rims. keep them. they r gun (Y) lol.
ej20i is that a VAFC controller in ur car? the photos u took at UNSW?
:D
LOL!
i wish!
can we even fit a vafc in our car?
i dont think so
its RSM
haha i WAS going to say >=[[
nah dont think it can ay i heard it doesnt even work on the dc5r's
sif vtec controller. lameness.
agreed lol
chasing some civic eyelids! pm me if you got some 4 sale
i swear one of the traders were selling eye lids but i cant find it anymore
Yeh it's jkit imports or something i thnk. They don't look that great. Do eyelids like tim did. Diy style haha
where can i buy a turbo kit from? can't seem to find any online stores.
i got the best mod done to my windscreen wiper ever.

what about zage?...or ask them to change the AEM to greddy ECU?
ok guys long awaited news. a new production of rr kits is being produced. it is PP material and is direct replacement of your front bumper and rear bumper. It is as cheap as chips. The bumpers are direct copy of the real mugen rr.
i will be importing it along with rr bonnet and type r spoilers =) gonna give it a try and if anyone wants it i will be happy to import for them. this product is way better and cheaper than the other places out there.
how cheap is cheap?
i'll be interested in the body kit...Quote:

17 X 9 +25 or a lower offset all around will fit ours?

http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/50/33/img_2813.jpg
Thats FA5 :P
I'm pretty sure they do - the front might be a bit wider though, got bigger engine...
I do know, however that their coilys will fit our cars.
that thing is damn hot
i think fender wise they are the same, 17x9+25 will fit the car perfectly lol, even running on coilovers, just the tyres are going to be like what? 225?Quote:
