yo my mates just inherited his parents civic 4 door sedan stock as a rock

its one of the newer models

hes not into performance really, just wants to make the car look sweet for cruisin

hes off this afternoon to autobarn to check out some stuff but could anyone give any suggestions of what would be nice for him to get

Main things hes thinking

- Body kit: i have found one civic for sale with a nice mugen bodykit for the sedan but cant seem to find anymore info, if anyone could help with that

- Sound system: probably will just get some package with cool stuff that they suggest

- Wheels: he wants to get some nice new wheels could anyone suggest where to look however not too expensive, maybe second hand if they are in good nick

- Suspension: He wants to lower the car but the problem of having a car thats too low for speed bumps etc is not something he wants

any helpful information would be great

Thanks :rant:

Dale

Edit: Car is in sydney north shore :)

Backup: With all due respect - and this being a Skyline forum and all - I don't think there will be too many people able to offer constuctive advice as how to non-performance modify a Civic.

Might I suggest checking out the http://forum.hot4s.com.au/ website forum - as many of the members there would be more likely to lend a hand in 'dressing' up a Civic. The Hot4s or AutoSalon magazines would no-doubt feature ads relating to suppliers who would help out your friend.

Do disrespect intended - just pointing you to a better starting point.

Cheers

James

lol this website is for nissan skyline ENTHUSIASTS so you may or may not have a skyline :rant: I know lots of people on here with diff cars so i thought maybe anyone could help with civic

thanks for directing me to that other site

dude, are you sure your friend has a civic ? or are you just trying to cover yourself up ?  :)

and no i dont have a civic.

its quite unbelievable the responses ive got lol

i think the name skylines australia kinda gave it away that it was a skylines website but bein a forum member here i thought sum ppl might have a better idea as i didnt think the flaming would be the same as if i did it elsewhere with ppl i dont know

anyway thanks for URL's guess ill seek help for his civic elsewhere than in the "General" Cars section :cheers:

(this is not a rant !! so i got the point so if anyone does have a civic and can help thanks heaps, as i did get already get help on bodykits for a civic)

I dont think they were really flaming.. i think people just get annoyed that there are people who seem to be search engine retarded. Im sure if I went to google or similar I could find 100 sites about modifying civics within 2 mins.

That was a bit harsh, he has already said he's a member of this site, and just wanted some of out opinions... shouldn't cut him down for this as most true car enthusiasts appreciate all types of cars, and he just thought maybe the educated people of this forum could offer some advice...

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
