Civic FD1 Intake Systems in Australia?

[Daniel.29]

spend 2k, get 5hp

leave it stock, its a nugget

Will do, haha. That is a fair point; doesn't seem to be worth it anymore.

Just do a Catback for a bit of sound and leave the headers and cat.
Changing headers will make quite loud. And a Loud Auto Civic isnt very fun. It'll drone heaps and probably be bit farty.

If I were to dump $1,000 - $1,500 I would spend on parts that makes the car more enjoyable to drive.
-Sound System
-Coilovers and a RSB
- Or just a nice set of wheels and lower it on springs.

Me personally, I'd get coilovers Drop it on its guts lol

Yeah, I'll probs just do the catback for around that $400-$500 range, and get coilovers after for a drop in ride height. How much would I be set back if I go for coils? And what's the comfort of them like in general, and over speed humps?

I have bad news for you... you should go and have a look at your VIN (Vehicle identification number) it's on your registration....it should start with JHM and then have some letters and numbers after.... You say you have an FD1 but that's the JDM civic.
Chances are you have the (European) FN1 or FK2. The engine in your car is most likely an R18A2

It's far from a performance engine.... the i-VTEC in that civic pretty much shuts down one or more cylinders when it cruises. The i-VTEC system in anything else but a type R is meant to save you fuel not give you power.

Bro, save your money. Spend 500 max on a cat-back exhaust to make it sound nice and get yourself a set of rims to make it look nice and stop. Modifying that engine will burn a BIG hole in your pocket and you won't see any power.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the FD1. It's the sedan version, not the hatch european model. I'll upload a pic tomorrow when I actually have some lighting.
