Great Color , matched rims ΄ very clean . I like it

CiViC_dIeSeL · 3rd May 2012, 23:10

Thank you

Cleaned out my Air Mass Sensor this weekend. Didn`t acutally feel much difference, but the MPG has improved massively!

CiViC_dIeSeL · 31st May 2012, 07:29

Managed 49 MPG combined on my last tank of fuel. Just over 1000km i total (!). The meter showed over 1000km in range when I refilled it. Must have been the first time ever I`ve seen that.
And I don`t even run my car on fuel efficient oil or eco friendly tires.

Happy happy!

Painted my calipers black and took a aircon service yesterday.

CiViC_dIeSeL · 28th June 2012, 22:19

Today I replaced the drive belt, tensioner and a pulley. Did an oil change as well.

Ordered HKS braided brake lines yesterday. Goodbye spungy brake pedal!

Did you swap just the springs or did you change the dampers too? I want to lower my Civic, but one of my "car-friends" told me that my dampers can't take it.

CiViC_dIeSeL · 11th July 2012, 15:58

No problem at all. Your "friend" is wrong. As long as you buy H&R or Eibach, they don't lower it more than 30mm. And that is no problem for the dampers.

Where in Norway are you located?

ante · 12th July 2012, 09:15

Haha, my "special friend". I'm in Harstad. Driving one of the few Type S-Civics in Norway

By the way: Where did you get the springs from? I really want to lower my car to get rid of the body roll and make it look snazzy.

Was a Type S diesel in Kristiansand at Abrahamsens Auto this spring. Maybe same car you bought?

I bought my springs and uprated brakes from a local dealer here in Arendal. Autopower AS. They also fiddled with the ECU

ante · 13th July 2012, 12:39

Okay, I've had mine for almost a year now, so it's probably not the same car

How much did the springs cost? I sent Autopower an e-mail asking for prices for both H&R-springs and Eibach, but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

CiViC_dIeSeL · 13th July 2012, 13:42

I think I paid 2000 kroner or something. Can't find the receipt right now. That was for H&R springs.

ante · 13th July 2012, 14:05

Okay, that's not too bad. How much of a difference did it make?
Also: did the ECU-remap make a huge difference? Did you have to change the clutch?

Worth every krone! Handling wise, its now much better. Comfort wise its totally transformed it!
And then there is the looks

A 30mm drop look just right, and is not too low here where we live.

The clutch was replaced on warranty on 98.000km together with the DMF. I got the much talked about "325" clutch. And no problems so far. Just passed 150.000km yesterday.
With the remap, a buddy of mine in his Intergra R couldn't keep up, so yes

ante · 13th July 2012, 23:49

Sounds good. Are you saying that the comfort improved? The roads here are not good, especially during the winters, so it worries me a bit

I have gotten a 6 paddle clutch and dmf from cg motorsports, so a remap shouldn't be a problem

CiViC_dIeSeL · 15th July 2012, 00:28

Yes. Because the lowering springs are progressive

ante · 16th July 2012, 09:18

Great, I was worried that the comfort would become unbearable. Where did you get the wind deflectors and the Type R-grill? Do you know of any good online Civic parts stores?

Here's a German one that I know of, if it helps;
TSS Tuning - Der Spezialist fr Honda-Tuning

CiViC_dIeSeL · 16th July 2012, 10:44

The deflectors is bought for BSbildeler.no and the grill and everything else is OEM from the Honda dealer where I used to work.

ante · 16th July 2012, 14:37

Did you have to modify anything to make the Type R-grill fit? I was thinking about ordering one myself.
