Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[mkefalia]

Well... I've just spent all evening "researching" exhaust options... So hopefully I'll get some replies and finally do my first mod soon


For those of you who stated you had a cat-back exhaust system installed, what do you have? Something custom? As I can't find a single FD1 specific cat-back system.

Any help?

I have been searching for weeks for exhaust options for my FD2, so far come up trumps. I did find one by J Racing on ebay but it looks like a racing exhaust. I started a thread in the forum regarding cat-back exhaust options for my fd2 but nobody knows. I think we have to wait a bit for FD1's and FD2's

could anyone write up a simple DIY for the boot release please?

Use as a guide only. Perform mod at your own risk.

You will need the module (which interprets second door lock release signal to release boot lock and an actuator)

1) remove floor trim on front passenger side. from inside wire loom, locate yellow door lock release trigger wire. (note: not to be mistaken for side airbag sensor wire which is also yellow)
2) add a splice to this wire and run a 22g wire from there along the floor into the trunk.
3) The module has 3 wires. (line to earth, line to actuator and line to yellow wire). Once you join up the 3 wire, attach the module to the boot lid with 3M double sided tape.
4) the actuator has 2 lines,(line to module and line to earth. Attach the actuator to the boot (refer to picture elsewhere in this thread). ensure enough slack when boot lid latch is in locked position.

there you're done

Got my Interior (center) light and boot light replaced with PCB SMD panel today

[Mini-Euro]

Looks Hectic dude

[howy]

wow..

that's really bright

[Shimian]

nice set up for both gerard and applio.

Gerard: Agree with with mini euro, looks complex.

Applio: I wouldnt mind making my boot brighter. At the moment, i have a strip of LEDs in the boot installed near the rear for better lighting. Interior, i like mine dim. Gives a nice mood feel

yeh I actually turn my centre interior lights off coz i find i don't actually need it for anything.

i've recently installed philips blue visions into my fd1, they seem to be sufficient. Not as good as the HID's i had before but atleast they're ADR approved and legal

my parkers are also blue visions but they're more yellow than white, anyone know which bulbs are best for a whiter colour?

Use MTEC parkers. They are white and bright.

[SaBReT00tH]

Applio --> how many watts are PCB SMD? are they LCD or what? super bright HID?

[civic_07]

^^^ yep, very nice white these MTEC, got them for my FD1 and i don't even need to turn on the HID when backing out of the driveway at 5 am . Get them from one of the trader here.
