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

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...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
