hey guys,
I have been speed reading thrg from page 1 to 480 and still could not find out whether if we could change the stock pedals...
problem is i realise the accelerator is hinged on to the floor board on its bottom unlike the clutch and break pedal which is hinged on top.
I m not used to the accelerator hinged this way and hence i always over rev my car...i m pretty sure the pedals can be changed rite?
cheers!

wow u read 480 pages... that must have taken sometime :p
i replaced my brake pedal but not sure about the acc pedal. the acc pedal of the FD2R or Mugen pedals that u can buy is only to go over the OEM, it is screwed on. the brake and clutch pedals u can just remove the rubber and replace them. the foot rest is just screwed on to the OEM as well
.....unless i'm doing it all wrong lol

i think what he means is that he wants to change the whole unit to the drop from the top kind of thing
i dont think u can do that
our acc pedals are like euros anyway
hahahahahahha
gota get used to it matey
if you have money money, there should always be a way to change things lol

lol. i saw a white prefacelift fd1 at sunnybank with just a type r wing and black painted vti-l wheels. it was awkward looking to say the least, but i'd like to see some more brisbane fd drivers up in here. there are certainly plenty of 'modified' fds on the streets. especially in the southside/sunnybank region.

hey johnny how did u get the beaks bar on? did it urself yeah?
had help from my uncle.. needed to borrow the bolt gun
this is just a guide:
u'll also need 2 car jacks.. the main car jack to lift up the back, and the other jack to hold the lower control arm bar in place when u take out the bolt.. once u take out the bolt and install the beaks bar to one side, move the car jack to the other LCA to install the other side of the beaks bar.
its take around 15minutes to install... if you dont really know how to do it, better safe than sorry, go to a mechanic

still pretty expensive compared to aftermarket ones...i suppose you can say it's OEM
yeah, but you get a replacement stalk with the oem one and its less of a pain in the arse if you choose to install it yourself :)

hey guys, how big is the diameter of our exhaust?
comparing to see if buying the J's racing full exhaust worth it or just buyng the muffler be better. if the size of the piping is the same, might as well just the muffler save my money for my headers and b pipe by weapon R
ekdez
09-12-2009, 09:26 AM
my j's titanium is 60 MM pipe from cat back.
OEM is like 30MM.. its pez, if you take yours off and look at it you will be liek wtf.
BIG difference in accelerator response, and sexy noise from mine..
if you get stainless it will be different, prob will drone like other normal ones, rather then be raspy.
p.s. where you gonna get your weapon-r headers from? you gonna run no cat? $20g fine..
over the rev range above 3, i cannot hear my js racing muffler over my injen cai, might get some custom piping if i cbf lol

ej20i
11-12-2009, 10:41 PM
i got the "more gangsta" LOL!
immobiliser, shock sensor, tilt sensor, ultrasonic sensor, auto window winder, connected to the parker, send sms to phone and things like that
very interesting, something just hit me just then, if i were to get something like that (tilt sensor, shock sensor etc) it would just totally defeat the purpose of me having remote control air bags cos the alarm would just go off everytime... i failed -_-
ej20i
11-12-2009, 10:54 PM
as long as you dont arm ur alarm
u should be fine
i mean, why would u pop ur bags when u locked ur doors?
i got the wireless remote kit so i can do it from the outside =D just wank factor lol
How about i take the remote from you so you don't have to worry about it :p
i think you should get a kit so you can use the remote IF you were to take it off me :p

its basically the same as changing ur engine oil. Just slightly different
You undo one bolt to let the fluid drain, then the other so it releases pressure.
Do the bottom bolt back up and start filling...

You already received it? They even haven't sent me the tracking no lol i wanna see the remote module.
i only got the air tank and the wiring atm, i havent recieved the stussy yet, guy said today arvo or tmr cos it came in 2 boxes.
i had a look at the remote module and the solenoid and it seems annoying to wire up if i want to leave the controls upfront under the head unit like ivan did cos i gotta run an air tube upfront as well for the pressure gauge. im thinking of leaving everything in the boot cos i have the remote to control it anyway.

It's all depend on what you're looking for. With AirForce you have 36 way damper adjustment like the normal coilover unlike AirRunner which has only 4.

I just drilled the holes a big bigger - still not straight enough. On the brake pedal i've got very badly... the bottom hole isn't even in the middle of the pedal T.T
Tried redrilling near it but then it kept slipping into the hole... I'll persist later though, it'll get there eventually.

^^ lol yeah. thats been posted before. but sending ur car there would cost heaps. genuine parts would also cost heaps. that is a full conversion. inside and out (minus the engine, i think).
if u want ur car to "look like" a type r, then u may as well just buy a replica kit. couple of members (eg. hendra and johnnyfd) have gotten replica fd2r kits already and they look quite well.. without the cost of sending their car overseas.

haha thats old as!
have you had any symptoms before this happened? like crunching gears a day or to before? Have you changed the MTF fluid (tranny fluid) or done a service recently?
Or even possibly bottomed out ur car?
nah no problems at all. i've only had the car for 3 weeks soo :S
i have to book the first service soon and ill tell them about it, but i doubt they'll do anything...
