Honda civics - So much stuff to do them up with

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]damn, i really get sick of how there is so much stuff for honda civics, i mean they got bloody everything! u look in car mags at the stuff u can get, and its ALWAYS got something in a civic version!

You could say the same for he wrx 2.

however, i saw this civic in a recent hot 4s mag and it looked pretty fine. the orange coupe with the black bonnet, orange interior and bonnet vent thingo[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#00FF00:post_uid12]Hey Sandyman... i know what u mean... i always wish i could get those clear breaklight things (i think they're copied from the lexus IS200) that i so on sooo many civics...[/color:post_uid12]

[..::TalenT::..]

[color=#000000:post_uid2]yeh its kinda dissapointing that there isnt many after-market items available for astinas as there is for civics or lancers but that also leaves the astina drivers open to creativity, if you cant buy something try and think of something you can do thats unique, look at the ezzy astina, thats uniqe as all hell and looks (looked) better than 99.99% of the civics out there ! its up to tha individuals creativity, if you do up an astina you will have a prety special n unique car !

regardz Adam ! :D[/color:post_uid2]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]I've seen clear taillights on a hardtop..... dont know who makes em tho! :([/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i would LOVE clear tail lights for the hardtop, would look fully sick bro...[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]thats why i chose the astina - it's different! true you don't have the off-the-shelf availability of parts...but just make it yourself!

but at times, it would be nice to be able to choose between 50 different bodykits, rather than 2 or 3...

and that's the GEMBEL civic coupe (the orange one). i usually see it around work.

and no ricelights for me! :p[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey Dan, considering what you've already done to your car, I think you could put a set of f@&ken aeroplane wings on that thing and there is no WAY it could be called Rice!!!

Besides, I wouldn't pay the $500-$1,000 for the clear lights, it just aint worth it. But if somebody walked up to me and said "Here you go, merry christmas", or they were sold for about $100, then, well, what can I say? :)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Wings ay???

"Come fly with me......" :D

Well, next time you guys do a Central Coast cruise, I'll take you for a spin around the coast in my 180hp beast.... :;):

Well, not mine but, don't say anything!![/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]As long as thats not trying to get away from the cops sort
of cruise sounds ok !!

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I don't think the cops would ba ble to keep up :D I should havre mentioned we'd be going about 180-200k's (100 -115 knots), oh yeah, at about 2,500 feet :p[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]I just thought that by flying you meant you were supplying
the spliffs but ok understand what you mean now.

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]talking about flying a 1.8 turbo familia can do 245km/hr with a astina gearbox..

Unfortunately the parts on the car fly off at that speed too...
My rear brake light garnish (LED type on the top of the hatch) flew off at 190km/hr. Rang mazda... they want $770 to replace.... :( not happy jan[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#006666:post_uid0][img:post_uid0]http://www.astinagt.com/images/nathan1.jpg[/img:post_uid0][/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]jeesus! LMAO

hmmm did you run out of revs? or still more to go? i don't think i've done over about 170 yet...

but $770 is ridiculous![/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]yeop... no more revs... I didnt wanna hit rev limiter at that speed...

yeah.. I have the old one in bits so Im am going to glue back together and make fibre glass mould[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]hmm interesting! gives me something to aim for :)

ah well you could always do a custom one...maybe a tiny lip? dunno...never mind![/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ouch, nasty......

What did you think when you saw it fly off??

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]I didnt see much.. I just heard something fly off the car and then saw my LED light hanging on my rear window... it hit the rear wing and left some nice marks... hopefully they just polish out...

I pulled over and pick it up... I was racing an s15 at the time[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Wow,
I didn't like how mine felt at 215km/hr so that was where I
stopped. When I slowed down I could hear the under car
plastic in front of the motor dragging on the ground and
also my inner guard plastic popped open. Think we
need to add some ducting to the inner guards to allow air
to go through for those over 200 ventures.
That piece off the back is wild. I wonder if its due to your
larger wing creating more turbulance in the space above
the hatch glass to add more downforce.

[color=#006666:post_uid0]I dont know what happened... I was doing speed runs moments before the drag to make the intercooler colder... thats how I found out my top speed.. my speedo actually said 235km/hr but my 18's make the speedo 5% out so at 100km/hr its actually 105km/hr so I thought at 235km/hr the reading would be 10km/hr more.. I need a Apexi RSM

I think it might have been the days of the loud/stupid stereo might have rattled the brackets off.. the funny thing is I still have all the brackets attached.. I might get some photos to post up to show what happened[/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]btw... with no wing I cant hold onto my car at more than 200km/hr

so for all those wings are rice ppl... study physics before calling aerodynamics rice...[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I know that last comment was kind of meant for me, but I do acknowledge that at those speeds, a wing is a must. Is the people that do laps at no more than about 70 with drag style wings that kind of annoy me [b:post_uid0](but only if they THINK it makes their car handle significantly better at those speeds)[/b:post_uid0][/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]LOL.. in no way was intended for anyone here... it was more a passing comment to those idiots that drive stock looking 200sx and 300zx's that think there car is the fastest car on the road cause they have a front mount and exhaust and will never buy chrome wheels or a bodykit because that is rice... grrrhhhh[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah the standard spoiler is only a cosmetic wing so my car
felt loose at 215 which was on my speedo so +10km for
wheels. Tony have you bought the Jaycar air temp digital
guage that you can use to measure air after the I/C.

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]Nah not yet.. I want too though.. the cooler is amazing..

the turbo side is very warm and on the other side is cold to touch on a cold night.. its amazing...

I got a few teething problems...
- I have a water leak somewhere under hard acceleration.. I gotta buy a new hose
- The turbo is real noisey, nothing serious.. has a high pitch whine to it, exhaust shop said its a dodgy gasket..
- passenger front wheel bearing starting to get noisy under acceleration
- the car has a horrible ball joint bend in it so I get heaps of turbulance through the exhaust which is stopping me.. 2.5" dump pipe and 2.5" high flow cat with maybe a new exhaust setup

Im coming on sunday to the gong if you guys are around[/color:post_uid0]

[sik astina]

[color=#0000FF:post_uid0]we will be tony. just gives us a call to lets us know when you get in. :D you have to take me for a spin in your car :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Sounds like this will be fun... :)[/color:post_uid1]

[.::Astina|Brad::.]

[color=#728FCE:post_uid0]How well did you go against the s15 you were racing b4 your thingy fell off???[/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666:post_uid0]he beat me by 2 1/2 car lengths at about 190km/hr...

but about 1 1/2 car length at the 1/4 mile

I have to fix a few things.. its a 13.5sec 1/4mile s15[/color:post_uid0]

[..::TalenT::..]

[color=#000000:post_uid2]i had our astina up to 185-190 on the speedo and its got 17's on it so it may be a little less and that was scary i didnt stay there very long but it was good and i wouldnt do it again i dont wanna hurt her :) ...

rupe you sad summin about that orange civic, last time i was in melb. i saw it parked near the bus depot and the Mc cafe maccas in the city... i didnt know what it was at the time with the big wide body kit, looked sharp tho !

Later Adam !!![/color:post_uid2]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]a new topic: NEONS

has anybody other than me noticed the rapidly expanding neon light car range?

they got neon pedals, neon subwoofer rings, neon gearstick, neon handbrakes, undercar neons, windscreen spray nozzle neons...

damn! i want some in UV blacklight on a white car![/color:post_uid0]

[sik astina]

[color=#0000FF:post_uid2]while we are on the topic of honda i found this. its pretty funny

da civic story (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~attse/honduh.htm)


yeah sandyman. they have neons for everything now.. i like the neon glow in the cars.. they even have LED exhaust tips yuck!


-Mick[/color:post_uid2]

[astina]

[color=#32CD32:post_uid0]hey all
how do you think a neon black light would go in a white car im thinking either black light or green neon glow[/color:post_uid0]

[astina]

[color=#32CD32:post_uid0]oh yeah tony is the s15 black with chomes?[/color:post_uid0]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]basic unwritten rule mate:
green neons on black cars

the black neons would be for the white car cuz it would set a theme, and black light makes white glow.[/color:post_uid0]
