My new 07 Civic FD - Page 3

Mischief007 · October 24th, 2007, 6:47 PM

It flows very well actually.

andyhui01 · October 24th, 2007, 11:34 PM

^yea... I agree, that chin flows very well with the car, not too over the top... can't really call that rice. But then you do get people who call any Japanese car with some sort of modifications Rice...

Steve.. you're right, Modern day auto's are so responsive and quick... although I do regret not buying a manual, the difference isn't that huge for me to bother finding another one.

'CruiserMan · October 24th, 2007, 11:37 PM

Actually, this being a Honda automatic... Does it have the 7 speed sequential paddleshift, like you get in the Jazz?

andyhui01 · October 24th, 2007, 11:47 PM

na... 5 Speed auto, In Aus, the 1.8 doesn't get paddle shift, but in some countries they do... unbreakable, do you get paddle shift on yours?

unbreakable · October 25th, 2007, 3:18 AM

i dont get the paddle shift sadly... it's reserved for the K20 (non Si 155hp) Civic, the same engine and specs as the Acura CSX.

No, the chrome and carbon is a little iffy, but as long as you keep all that crap off, its actually a handsome little grocery-getter.

'CruiserMan · October 27th, 2007, 4:11 AM

Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying...
We've had a look at a couple of little cars, and the Honda Jazz was the only one I could ever really consider getting an auto (well, CVT) 'box in, just for the rather cool paddleshift, activated by a button on the steering wheel images/smilies/tongue.gif

unbreakable · November 12th, 2007, 4:16 PM

yeah youre talking about the 7speed cvt jazz. a new one is comming out though images/smilies/smile.gif

anyway, small update:
replaced my headlamps with OEMs from the K20 civics that come stock with HIDs. These headlights are designed especially for HIDs such that glare is drastically reduced.

got JDM badges as well..

but i put them there not just for show but because my mugen kits are coming in as well as lowering springs..(removed the modulo chin)
here's what the mugen kit will look like with the drop..and hopefully il be looking as good as this:

andyhui01 · November 12th, 2007, 9:29 PM

^any comparison for pics of cutoff between the old and new ones (HID equipped and non HID Equipped? I could never find a comparison hence I never bothered to switch over.

unbreakable · November 12th, 2007, 11:34 PM

i dont have that yet, but with my old healamps, i get flashed numerous times at night. I have never been flashed with these new ones images/smilies/smile.gif

expensive as hell though! USD$320 a piece!

unbreakable · February 12th, 2008, 7:21 PM

new rims
Mugen kit
OEM sidesills

Cobol74 · February 12th, 2008, 7:24 PM

^ Well done still tasteful without being rice - beware of the rice. ....

Blayde · February 12th, 2008, 7:26 PM

The rims would've been soo much nicer if it was a matt finish imo, but nice look, the all dark feel works with the car images/smilies/smile.gif

unbreakable · February 12th, 2008, 7:27 PM

thanks

i really am avoiding that. i hate rice.

BTW, figured my car was too black, plus my dad managed to scratch my rims when he used my car for only A WEEK...

I had my rims repainted to United Arrows gunmetal... getting it this thursday :d

Blayde · February 12th, 2008, 7:29 PM

mmm, anything that has the word gunmetal, or allows you to use gunmetal in a sentence, WIN!

Cobol74 · February 12th, 2008, 7:29 PM

That is a great idea! Will really look nice - pics when done please? BTW have a moan at your dad. ...

unbreakable · February 12th, 2008, 7:34 PM

yep! will post pics ASAP...

Lol @ cobol74 ... at least he's paying for it! im not paying for anything i didnt do.

@blayde - i know! i can't wait! the only redeeming thing while waiting is how soft the ride is now that im temporarily back to my stock 16s. haha

Mopar Man · February 12th, 2008, 7:40 PM

Wow that Civic is way better looking than the one we have in North America. images/smilies/mellow.gif

argatoga · February 12th, 2008, 7:41 PM

Props for keeping it a clean design. You have a great looking car, much better than the rice over here.

Steve Levin · February 12th, 2008, 7:51 PM

Man that's slick looking. I do love the Civics right now. Was admiring a US-market 4 door Si the other day.
