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...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
