difference between civic fd1 and fd2?

[black8thgen]

Hey uhm, was just wondering if there are any differences between an fd1 civic and an fd2 civic? (eg. springs fitting, etc) and what year constitutes the fd2?

cheers

[Wayne]

i would like to know also.. i heard ppl say FD2 = Type-R.. FD1 = normal civic.. some people said FD1 = 1.8.. and FD2 = 2.0.. lol.. confused.. =)

[markCivicVti]

Ok...

in terms of chasis there is no differences.

So the FD1 (vti/vti-l) are the 1.8 ltre civics (2006+) and the FD2 (sport) is the 2.0 ltr 2006+ civics.

The differences are the engine (and engine bay layout, so intakes and full exausts that fit one won't fit the other). Now the FD2R (the type r you refer to) is different again, the front (fenders panels to be exact) are slightly wider... so a genuine FD2R body kit or full replica won't fit our FD2 and FD1... and in case you didn't know you cannot get FD2Rs here.

I haven't heard if the FD1 and FD2 springs and fittings are different, but I'm guessing that they are the same, or atleast interchangeable. The spring rating may be slightly different as the K20 is heavier than the R18. Other changes are obviousely stuff like exhaust piping and seat airbags and what not.

Feel free to correct me more knowledgeable ppl, but thats what I know.

Cheers.

Ah i see, so when did the fd2 change come in? like what year models are considered fd2? and which year is considered fd1? I've got an 08 civic so im guessing its an fd2 but yeah, would still like to know.

and which engine would the fd2 have? K20 or R18?

[markCivicVti]

FD2 has the K20. FD1 has the R18a.

If you car is a vti or vti-l then you have a FD1.

If you have a Sport then you have a FD2.

Both have been on sale at the same time since 2006.

[black8thgen]

Ohhh so its not the year model, its the actual model differentials? great.. i been thinking it was a year thing all along..

ah well cheers mate.

[markCivicVti]

No worries.

FD1 & 2 use the same springs, well i sold my FD2 king springs to a bloke with a FD1 and they fitted fine so just my guess...

[Wayne]

sorry 1 question here.. FD2 known as civic sport as well using K20A or K2Z something.. issit the same engine with FD2R? which is K20A? sorry.. still beginner on this.. =)

[jeromerae]

the sport uses a k20z same engine found in the integra luxury (different from FD2R)

[denot]

except in Jap they use K20A... then again its still diff with K20A in FD2R :p

[Wayne]

so japan FD 2.0 is using K20A while aus FD 2.0 using K20Z? omg.. what is the difference beside them?

[edmbranch]

AUDM civic has no powerrrrrrrrrrrrr :P

[black8thgen]

ohh yeah, and uhm.. whats the fd3 then?

[markCivicVti]

I think its the hybrid. Not sure.

[black8thgen]

ohh i see.. hmm

[FDBenni]

FD1 = VTi/VTi-L
FD2 = Sport
FD2R = Type R
FD3 = Hybrid

[JaCe]

Let's not forget the 1.6L model which is FD4 featuring the R16A engine.

[Wayne]

1.6L? never saw that b4.. lol..

[Shimian]

[ej20i]

hahahha

[s2_eternity_s2]

why dont we have the type r in aus? that's sux!

[bc143]

as usual honda australia is not as innovative as honda. while honda have good model, i.e. civic type R(JDM) stepwagon(gen III) mobilo, even GE jazz from thailand--tax free inport while oversea they have glass roof we get basic even vti-s....... what they bring in is the unlove legend. dunno how much money they wasted in this legend selling project......
poor we, they even give no support in factory tune stuff like other market do.

Really quite confusing all these numbers. What's MY08? I have a car registered 09 but it's a my08.

This was all simpler in the uk with my euro hatch type S.

any good modding sites for this model?

Fd2 2.0

I believe, MY08 is make year 2008. Probs made in late 2008 for the 2009 edition models.

Try 8thcivic.com, it's american but a lot of good info there that can be related to our cars.

And another good site.. well you're on it. =D Ozhonda 4 Lyf.

Edit: Unless you ment what website to purchase parts.

JDM yard, JDM Concept, Ontherunmotorsports, Marsperformance, eBay...

[davieb]

Cheers mate I'll have a look. Not really looking to engine mods more interested in struts and a nice intake growl. It's pretty low as is but may put different shockers in. I'll be tinting windows and looking for a very discreet towbar too

+1 spot on yo

just to add the 2006 MY06 models dont have an aux port, only the 2006 DEC MY07 + do

[davieb]

Yer I noticed this had one.

Sooo fd1or fd2

[Shimian]

Also the 2006 fd2 silver moss color and baby blue color came with dark blue leather seats and dark blue interior. I think from here onwards they all came in grey/black leather.
Also in 2006 you could buy blue floor mats, then it was grey/black from there onwards.

An Fd2 in the uk is the jap ctr. Just to confuse things more lol

if its the Jap CTR then it would be an FD2R..
I dont think UK has FD's at all? The latest type R is the FN2R.

Correct me if im wrong..

[davieb]

AFAIK in Japan they call the Australian FD2 a FD1. The FD2R in Japan is just an FD2.

The UK has a fair few FD2R imports. They just call them FD2s

[Stevil]

Inspiration for the FD2 type R came from the lighter FD1 when the Spoon guys shoe horned a K20 into it .

[Honda_FD]

how does it work when the fd2 has a k20z but its only 5 gears?

Dont know what you're trying to ask..
