Hi guys,

In the service book, one of the task required for a 120000 km service is to check valve clearance. Do you guys think it is really necessary to inspect the valve clearance ? If it is...

Yeah maybe I should've called the dealership directly to speed up the process. It is not too bad considering Honda needs to replace more than 420,000 faulty parts. I think Toyota is around 250,000...

I got a call from a local Honda dealer to bring the civic in for the airbag inflator replacement. So 2 month wait is not too bad.

Hi everyone,

Anyone got their FD civic airbag replaced yet ? I got the recall letter 2 months ago, called and was told i will be contacted when the part arrives and ready to be replaced. No...

Only CVT. VTI and VTI-L still use the old 1.8 litre. I thought they were going to put in the 1.0 litre turbo.

Holyshit.. freaks me out whenever I watch car crash footage.

Hi guys,

I wonder how much will the 1.5 litre turbo cost and I hope we get the european engine because apparently it makes more power and torque than the american or asian version. I reckon they...

I got mine from supercheap online because I had a gift card. You can get it on ebay. Just type in civic fd right mount if you are looking for the right hand side mount.

Does anyone know where to find the honda part numbers for 2008 civic FD ?

Cheers

It is so weird, yesterday I was trying forever and couldn't get the bolts off. This morning all 8 bolts came loose in 5 mins. When you are tired and frustrated, nothing ever works out.

Ok, I will...

OK I tried again this morning and the bolt rounded a little more. The head of the bolt is so shallow, it just can't grip it properly. I don't think I can re use it. Where can I get new flywheel bolts...

Hi guys,

I am trying to remove the flywheel bolts so I can take the flywheel out and get it machined. I am trying to remove the flywheel bolt but it is slightly stripped. I am afraid to try again...

Hi guys,

I am changing the clutch myself and the flywheel will be taken off to get it resurface/machined. How much will it cost roughly? I'm in Melbourne, anyone recommend a good shop in the...

Thanks guys.

Hi guys,

I am thinking about reusing the old axle nuts. Is it really necessary to replace it with new one ? If it is necessary, where is the best place to get them ?

Cheers

Hi guys,

Is it really necessary to use Honda Genuine Power steering fluid when topping up fluid ?

Cheers

Wow I just got a quote from Honda and the cost is $2250. $1750 from a indy mechanic. I am definitely going to change it myself. I can get the exedy clutch kit and flywheel from the USA for $500 aud....

I am in Melbourne.

Hi guys,

My Civic has done 108,000 km and the clutch is starting to slip. How much do you guys think it will cost to replace at a mechanic rough estimate ? I am thinking of changing it myself. I...

Yes I did cut the bump stop.

hmmm... the eibach pro was installed almost 2 weeks ago, the front is lower but there is no change with the rear. It is the same height as before eibach installation. I don't get it !!!! Did I do...

Hi guys,

I have just installed eibach pro kit to my FD1. Should I wait for a week or two to get wheel alignment done because the suspensions need to settle.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I bought 4 NGK IZFR6K-11 spark plugs for my FD1. I have just realised the recommended spark plugs has a "S" at the end. Can I still use them or I have to get the one with the "S" at the...

One more question, the left and right side of the eibach springs are the same correct ?

I wonder how they managed to import a FA into Australia. Its such a shame we don't have the FD type r.
