Hondas are just reliable, cheap, look nice haha. Im more than happy with the fd as a daily car. Does anyone know where to get a decent Type R kit other than OTR and jdmyard?

you can't even drive it that fast daily cos it just uses too much fuel, so you granny it (even using vtec at every corner would be more economical than boost, you actually see your fuel gauge moving in an evo!)

major service is like 800, if you need your water pumped replaced thats like 1500 all up

insurance is high,

brakes, tyres wear out faster cos you drive like a maniac :p

but you get so much attention though haha

gonna save up for an ep3 next year as a daily

2.5k just for a new clutch on the porsche. quit complaning folks. you don't even want to know how much installation was.

DAMN ekdez I can count the pebbles in your car door reflection.

Johnny skunk2 cams from titan motorsports (call for more info don't think its on their site) or you can try egay but I don't trust that they're authentic. Also hondata reflash for the civic FG2 should be compatible for ours but I'm currently looking into ECU compatability.

Thought i'd give some input to my progress with my FD :)

Didn't want to pay a panel beater to paint my mugen lip kit, so me and a mate decided to try a DIY rattle can job on it :D

Haven't used any rubbing compound to make it super glossy yet, will do that over the next few days.

Trial fitted - was a tight fit so it just sat there without any screws lol

Bought a ducktail spoiler from ebay as well

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...1bd9e323b4.jpg

Any suggestions on how to fit it would be greatly appreciated, I have an idea but I would like to hear from you guys as well =D
