Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

Yes, it's so they know which key to send you if you ask for a replacement. That's what I like about the Mcguards, even if someone else has the same brand lock nuts it doesn't mean they can use their keys to open mine.

I wonder if how these would compare to my cusco's or to a set of buddyclubs.

Just keep in mind that if these are designed for the FD2R, it won't fit our FD1/2.
Other than that, these will be one of the best ones you can get for our Civic.

Found this website the other week, pretty sharp pricing on this Cusco. only $1200 for Cusco Comp S and $1500 for the Street A's. I'm hoping this sort of price is round in 12months.

Apparently a dc5r takes an s2k after same amount of mods? (straIght line). Should I get an s2k and supercharge long term or a dc5r and go I/H/E/kpro/TB etc

[DuffyFD]

dc5's are great, but will always be wrong-wheel-drive.

black8thgen I guess it comes done to budget, Supercharged rearwheel power out of a S2000 would be awesome but scary on the limit I reckon and costly.

I often wish I had a RWD then I remind myself of the FWD potential when set up correctly. I've watched this video atleast a dozen times as reminder of whats possible !!

I'll be honest, I love FWD, it's very predictable most of the time, you either run into understeer, or if you're late, maybe a bit of lift-off oversteer under braking.

RWD is alot more wild, and I would say that it takes a certain finesse to handle with a large amount of power, whereas with FWD, it's you vs. the car, and it's more about muscling your way around corners.

Both are very fun. Most people just have an anti FWD stigma, partly due to the drifting scene.

If I had my choice on an upgrade it would be a toss up between a Renault Megane 250, a 370z, or a e60 530i Msport (all around 40-50k though).

DC5's have a boy-racer feel about them to me - just the kind of drivers I've met in the past really. s2k's are awesome, but less practical, and they only look good when they're dumped.


Again this is all my opinion. Nothing right or wrong :P

And yes damn I will finish that BBS LM's reversing DIY.
