Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[Shimian]

Hi, this is my Automatic Civic recent mod.




Cheap and ec mod, but i personally quite satisfy with the result

Are you referring to your avatar? If yes, i was thinking about getting the gear wrap and knob, also comes with a mugen badge showing the gear shifts. Btw, how does the knob press the button so u can shift gears? Do you press down? Can you upload a bigger size?


edit: now i see pics.

guys i just want to ask where can i buy a front lip and side skirt for my FD1 civic?

1. What style? Honda Modulo/OEM and the aftermarket Mugen styling kit are the main ones. There are a few other ones available but they aren't specifically designed for the Civic or they're just unofficial bodykits which mimick a reputable one.

2. Genuine or replica?

Genuine Modulo can be bought from your Honda dealer; and Mugen ones can be bought from JDM Concept here. Alternatively you could look around on eBay and maybe you'll find some alternatives- just watch for fakes. A common trick is to say "Mugen styling" (i.e. it looks like a Mugen but isn't genuine Mugen).

hi Jace & cracker,
thx very much for your comments.
for anyone interest with this mod, later tonight or tomorrow i'll put up a new thread on detailed DIY

To Jace : just remove the original shift knob and the silver square cover.
cost: boot $25, knob $20

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'll do it but I'll pick my own gear shift knob. Can you use any? Are there any implications in terms of being able to shift because I have a tendency to shift down to 3rd when driving.

na... its because the K-series engine has been around for so many years whereas the R series just came out last year. Just have to give it some time, but alot of Taiwanese tuners have been saying that the R series engine does have alot of potential, I remember this guy got over 200whp by Turbocharging the R18

and Jo_e... I think middle would be like Albury, which is still quite long and boring drive for both states.

True that. From what I can tell, alot of the mods are just old ones which happen to fit inside the FD engine bay. Fingers crossed that some good things come out for the FD... but then that being said, I'm still more interested in the Evo!

Nice... but you will regret not getting 18s. 17s will look tiny with the mugen kit on.

I heard it on my friend's Civic... it sounds stock at low rpm but sounds fantastic at high rpm.

Are those genuine or replica pedals? I personally wouldn't bother- it seems like you're wasting money on pointless parts but it's your car/cash. Are you trying to have the most replica Mugen parts on your Civic or something..? No offence intended, but I'm inclined to think if you didn't waste money on things like replica Mugen mirror covers and whatnot, then you might've had some cash to buy more useful things (or genuine parts).
