Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[Ivan_Y]

hey ivan, i just replaced my simota to a K&N i used to use for the Wrx...so it was a smaller filter...the car idles nicely at around 760 compared to simota idled between 400 - 1000 which was weird. the car does not give any sign of stalling anymore...but yet to discover in near future...
its all good signs atm

i thought you gonna wait till the engine light on again with ur simota lol well thats good, hopefully it will not on again. i guess the filter is allright, but maybe too much for civic. did you put the simota filter to other car? wondering if this ok for others. and yes im indo hehe

i had the exact same experience with my Simota SRI but mine had a K&N filter on the end. i think you'll find that the Check Engine light will constantly turn on. no matter how many times you reflash the ecu. all in all i decided to take it out and put the stock box back in, but i do miss the sound. hopefully the same doesnt happen to you but i just thought id let you know my experience

so u using k&n filter with simota sri piping and the engine light still on? hmm i guess k&n typhoon intake doesnt have this problem, bad simota

has any body tried this CAI? would like to know if this brand is any better than SIMOTA since its pratically doulbe the price.

I would definetly buy this if there would be no hassle on engine light or any king of error code.
The only hassle i could see if the fitment which a bit tight but then again its CAI so it should better that SRI.

hmm dc5r wheels are on the car.. can drive around but i don't feel too safe as when the wheels are on there is like 0.5mm clearance to the brake calipers at the front. Seems also when i turn left sometimes i can hear it scraping a little - not a loud noise but audible - should i take the wheels off or whatt? fkn gay clearance

oil breather? it could be. do u have any spare oil breather? today i was driving the car with engine light still on but somehow after i check air on every tyre then fill up the gas, the engine light is off, really happy, then going home, still off. go to my mates house, still off, but when i drove back home, its on again

[ej20i]

I'll think up of a way on how to mod the breather to connect directly to the filter hose.
