.

Recaro NRS Reclinable Seats

The Recaro NRS Reclinable Seats
Comfortable seats that provided the sport grip, fierce look and
yet comfortable lumbar support.
No regrets! $2K + for the pair!

BC Coilovers

Installed the BC coilovers. No regrets.
Surprisingly the BC coilovers by Taiwan
is superbly made and its damping adjustable.
VERY STIFF , VERY GOOD TO HANDLE!
Forget about Tein. Here is the value for money
coilovers made by the Chinese.

Tried 10 front 10 back setting,
feels alright if you don't like it hard.

In the end my friend set 0 front 0 back.
Used this setting to track and daily drive.
Nice is word i like to describe!

AFC Neo

AFC NEO on civic fd.
Installed and removed in a month.
Better butt feel but not enough..
Nice interface with intregrated shift lamp.

Buying a 2nd hand exos?

Buying a 2nd hand exhaust in singapore?
It requires the LTA approval,
How to go about doing it?

1. Install your newly purchased exhaust system at any garage.
Fee cost ard $30 to $70 depending on which garage you go.
2. Have your Jasma or exhaust certificate done for transfer of ownership
at the main importer. Transfer fee varies. For fujisutbo is $50.
3. Go the your nearest Land Transport Authority to have it checked
for emission and noise etc. Pay a $52.50 for inspection.
4. Passed! You go home a happy man.
4a failed!!! damn... dismantle it or face a fine!

You have 1 month to go to inspection after installation.
If within 1 month you never go, and you got caught by LTA.
Good luck to you.

Handlings & Exos

Ultra Racing antiroll bar, 4point underbrace and 4point rear tie are
used to improve handling.
Alutec front struct bar is used for its light weight.


Fujisutbo Exhaust is the best choice for future modifications
for the FDs. Sound goods and better potential for more power!

JBT brake kit

A better brakes system is now required for my civic!
ARD $1780 for the JBT mini 4 brake kit.
Selected the JBT mini 4pot kit as it produce great modulation, light in weight.
Believed that big doesnt mean good. Steel brake hose helps.
BTW: the stock civic fd brakes sucks.
With 330mm slotted brakes disc. Power braking and fierce look!
