Dear Taikors,

Fixed a few things as i have identified the noise before taking the car as the salesman did changed the following;

1) Wheel bearings - RM350/rear/side and RM210/front/side
2) Aircon check - all ok
3) Power steering pump - so far still no leakage (visual check from below the car and also reservoir)
4) Suspension - changed front right as absorber kong (solved the weird floating sensation during cornering)
5) Add in VS - Hot Inazma LR taken from my previous ride.
6) Kruik kruik sound possible from the belt tensioner bearing

Before upcoming plans, will do all the necessary parts repair or replacements before proceeding further. Anyway taikors, finding Civic FD replacement silicon wipers seems to be a pain in the @$$. Because of the cover - its nearly impossible to fit any universal silicone wipers...even the PIAA Vera type.

Upcoming plans
Phase 1 - handling
1) Change to 17" Advan RZ with Hankook V12
2) Add UR front and rear tower bar
3) Add UR front and rear lower tie bar

Phase 2 - ICE
1) Change to double din touch screen navigator
2) Do some minor soundproofing

Phase 3 - Performance
1) Change to lighten crank pulley
2) Drop in K&N Hi-flow air filter
3) 2.5" mugen twin loop muffler

Phase 4 - Outlook
1) Add in Mugen Bodykit
*
how much for the suspension?

ur FD wont have this problem at night. YOu can try it.

FD is factory tuned to have 650RPM min during idle depending on water temperature. You can googe hondata for getting this info.

There's a way to solve it, change your thermostat.

I see. So if I do change the windscreen, is it possible for me to change it to a thicker windscreen?

Also, I realize that when raining, the cabin will be very loud. Will soundproofing the top do anything?
*
LOL, original windsreen and HONDA oem both are same, made in malaysia.
Cabin sound, road noise tyre roll, engine roar are the nature of civic. Fender, roof,..... everything is light and thin, thinner than proton i assume. The windscreen is as well thin, engine is madeby aluminium. ......

Everything in Civic including chasis is designed to vrooom vroom. sound proofing will only change the civic into heavy toyota. If you cant accept racing setting, its better for you to ride comfort toyota. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

when i start my car early morning, the engine have a sort of very loud 'ketak ketak ketak sound'. as the engine got warmer, the sound is less audible. do i need to get my valves clearance / tappet adjust to specs?
or is there other problems?

another problem is i once drive and during a slow down, the whole car shakes. i stop by at the side. and put the car to N and then P. the shakes reduces. the i off the engine. wait a while start the car up. no more shaking. whats the cause?
*
i used to ask foremen about valve clearance adjustment. Actually that is head overhaul or polish valve seat with valve.
Symptom for head overhaul, minor misfiring (exhaust got pop pop sound)... rpm not stable ..... overheating.....
Only adjust/polish if theres leakage.

But yours sound like weak coil/ignition problem.

Hi guys, anyone has experience driving both the 1.8 and 2.0 versions of the FD civic?

Wondering if there's a significant difference in power going to the 2.0
