Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[andyhui01]

^You do realize that with the 3% descrepency in VIC, you're only allowed to do 103 according to Police Radar, and the worst part is, your car can be doing 110 while the speedo says 100 and it'll be ADR approved. So if you want to set your cruise control at a speed you're 100% safe from cops, set it at 91kph

apparently some guy did a test on our FD. If you travel at 106km on speedo, u are really going 100

yep...that's what my car is like too...2006 civic...i got a navman gps and when im on cruise control...it is about 5-6km/h slower to what it says on my car...this is going about 100km/h....so i dunno if it's the car that's wrong or my gps or both

I've established that my Civic, while the speedo registers at 106km/h, is also traveling at 100km/h (confirmed via Navman and checked with other new cars).

In other news, can someone recommend some beginners sites catering to pure performance modifications? I could care less about body kits at the moment (sure, downforce and all that, but you know what I mean). 06 Civic specific would be good, but I'm not picky at the moment.

thats standard across most cars... motor or wheels has in its info sheets "speed at indicated 100km/h". most are 5-7kmh slower... so u doint get booked when u think ur speeding

[xenfacta]

Thats true... when I drive my festiva (yuck, but only for another 7-9 days) at around 100km, the gps (tomtom) will register about 5-6kms slower.

[xenfacta]

I think Repco can get it in for you if you give them the part numbers.

I personally bought mine from Malaysia and Jo_E got his from Hong Kong.

either of you two going overseas anytime soon?

taking the car in for service on friday.. anyone know if they will swap out better brake pads (or whether they will make a difference?).... will the euro pads fit

[QUOTE=xenfacta;1437005]either of you two going overseas anytime soon? /QUOTE]

lol actually we both are. Im heading off to Japan but i'll be backpacking so probably wont be able to carry too much home. And i think JaCe is off to Malaysia for a week.
If i see anything cool, i'll be sure to note it...esp the GTR...which apparently is in nissan showrooms already over there. =]
I think i might be able to get stickers? hahaha.coz they're light enough. But no body parts or nething big like that.
Mugen socks...?

Thanks Xenfecta,

The problem about that one is the price... $2400 and i get can the dolce for 2100 in perth.

The cleaning for all those spokes would take me half a day....

Ill post you guys some pics once i out them in.

Should i get some springs? or stock suspension will do.

If you put 19s on? You definately need to lower it or else it'll look like a monster truck.

Though if you have a lip kit on as well, you can probably get away with not lowering it.

[Frost_FD]

Hahah moster truck i like that one....

Well i oraganize the cash now just finalizing a few things and i should be able to go buy some springs and my rims.

will 235/35/19 fit on mine or i will have to do some adjustments?
