yeah i mmg ask for link... just didnt expect it to be to their forum...hahhahaaha

nvm... already registered... now waiting for approval...see how la
thanks anyway

when installing CF or fiber hood... hood pins are basically a must.... get those aerocatch pins for a neater look.

if u dont intend to install the pins.....dont bother installing cf/fiber hoods....ur not only endangering urself... but other road users as well when they fly open at high speeds.

FYI, CF/fiber hoods are illegal... so good luck with JPJ if they find out.

when u see a big piece of paper/plastic flying at u while ur travelling at 100km/h will u avoid it or will u just go straight n bang it?

Hmm.. there's an FD2R in front of me now on the hoist with a custom made under tray. White of course, with orange rims and the words racing goes on at the A pillar. Someone you know?

so anyone have good suggestion where to get a good carbon fiber hood?

no idea.... but this is his

good point...totally forfot about it
will prolly do it later along with a new thread version

bz bz bz bz bz

got tight deadline... no time to do that bit.

u kasi bikin la.. apa susah? sekali post no need maintenance after that liao hahahahah

i mean the outside la.  for me good looking. FD too boxy

Civic FD2 comes with double wishbone at the back?

Bro zenix,
What are the differences between these two suspension ? Thanks.

Yup, sure, normal drive no issues at all. First in the world car

I only heard/know of 3 persons... you're one of them.
another guy wanted to do it but not sure if done or cancelled.
nope... K-series...  K20Z2 I think (non type-R) convert to K20A (type-R)... gearbox on same side.

I made Malaysia proud by building the first in the world

K20 I'm sure... The R18 in the 1.8L FD1 should be the same, at least from photos I've seen, cannot recall since most of my friends who own FD Civic are using FD2 with the 2.0L engine. Didn't spend much time studying the 1.8L since not much potential.

Basically if you facing and looking at the engine bay with the hood open.
R18 and K20 the gearbox on the right hand side. (Integra DC5, FD1, FD2, FD2R, FN2, ES 2.0, ET)
For B series the gearbox is on the left hand side. ( the older Civics)
Which one u want... ?
Puchong, Kinrara - cheap, whatever also can do.... but job quality see ur luck... mainly cheap
                            Sifu in cutting cost for customer benefit (at least for my and my friends cases )

Sunway, Jln horsepower - Expensive, long waiting list, Good quality job
                                    Sifu in racing cars... engine builder of high HP cars for daily and track use

USJ area - half cut supplier and engine transplant
                didn't deal with them much, but a good petrol head friend uses them

I normally go to the Sunway one because nearest my place and I want good quality work.
Some smaller work I'll go to Puchong since cheaper and faster if urgent need to do but Sunway guy keep delaying because richer customers chasing for their high end cars to be ready.

zenix, u driving 1.8 FD1 right? What's the stock tyre size?

yup...its SOHC...even my EF also DOHC....hahahahhaa

One more noobie question

I've driven the previous generation VTEC CVT City, and its power and fuel economy more than satisfy me, probably one of the best stock car below RM100K that I've driven.

Would FD1 (1.8) satisfy me then?

Ok

I'm not really a performance freak, I just want something good enough for city use and occasional Gohtong Jaya/Karak sprint

Agree 100% on the rev thingy, no issue of wrong gear matching, just vroooom up the hill all the way
And FC...with the City I only need to re-fuel 10 days once. With Myvi, for the same amount of $$$ of fuel, 6 days kena refuel oledy

But with $$$ (cost of purchase, FC, maintenance etc esp that I'm buying a used unit) an issue, dare not think about 2.0L

loved the FC on that VTEC CVT City.... gearbox great for going up Genting, rev never come down... unfortunately performance wise not really great 

After that decided just direct upgrade to 2.0L DOHC Civic, dun bother with 1.8L... 

Then decided what the heck... VTEC in the standard 2.0L is not really old skool VTEC, but economy VTEC... kena con by Honda..  ....  So decided swap in K20 Type-R 

OK, if it fits your need...

dun regret later... had a friend who purchased 1.8L Civic brand new several years ago... later he say he should have gotten the 2.0L because performance wise just not quite there. Later he sold the car when he went overseas for a few years.

Come back now driving iDSI City... family man already... 

not yet... I haven't tell you about the amount of aftermarket performance parts available for the best performance engine Honda ever made for everyday use. Only true if u using the K-series engine.  ...
(B-series owner... u know K-series is better right...  )

R18... dunno, maybe got some available somewhere in the world...

I'm thinking about the same thing as well, but what's the best mod for the FD2's K20Z3?
I was thinking maybe Frankenstein in the K20A head lol
Because swapping the whole K20A (as in the whole FD2R half cut) would means converting into Manual already right. That don't sounds too good honestly.

yup.........vtec now no power sgt more to fuel econ...not like last time vtec...legend.....till now the most sought after is the b series....
same with my fren 1.8 cheaper....but after that regret sold the car after a year then change to 2nd fd type-r....2.0 better than 1.8....the same goes for the es model.....1.7....better to get the 2.0....
K-series better la...but b-series jz enuf to fit the small pocket...hehehe..but still....

That's obviously logical

Jazz = young and hip

then, THE NEED FOR SPEED™...FD1

Finally, family man, City
