Honda Civic FD Body [continued]

[jut703]

Looking into FD for light track racing. Okay ba mag k20 manual? How's the parts price and availability compared to the r18 manual? Also malaki ba difference sa power?

My options are :
1. 2006 k20 manual - mahirap mag hanap ng sariwa
2. 2011 r18 manual - easy to find


Thanks!

Stock to stock, there's already a noticeable torque difference between the K20 and R18. However, the K20 has much better tuning potential compared to the R18.

Engine mods are abundant, it's the availability of 2.0 MT FDs that's hard. Usually around 400-500k for a decent unit, compared to just 300-350 for the 1.8.

^ best way talaga to know your car's fuel consumption is through the full tank to full tank method. or you can use apps like waze and the like although it works hand-in-hand w/ the full tank method

it seems that hindi naman kalayuan daily drive mo kaya hindi talaga magiging efficient ang konsumo mo bro especially a/t pa ang drive train mo.

ok naman ang alabang parts ctr. suki ako sa sister store nila sa las pinas (atco) and they're pretty dependable. pero sa customer's cradle las pinas na ako nagpapa-ayos o install ng mga parts na nabili ko since kumpleto gamit nila at experienced din ang mga mechanics nila

thanks man! try ko yung waze. sa Full thank method, kailangan ko ma empty?

Thanks for the feedback sir jut. 400-500k for a 2006 car is too much imo. I could get an FB body for that amount already [emoji848]. Btw since you also own an 11th altis, how would you compare its body and handling? Much thanks!

sorry hindi waze ang tinutukoy ko na app (although it's a big help to find routes w/c are relatively lighter in traffic volume). iyong tinutukoy ko na app iyong fuelio ( & other similar apps) pala. at least ma-monitor mo consistently ang konsumo ng fd niyo.

sa full tank to full tank method hindi naman kailangan sagad ma-empty. pag tapak ng 1/4 or less pwede na pa-fill-up muli. basta be sure parati iyong automatic sensor sa pump nila ang mag-indicate na full na iyong tanke at wag na padagdag o i-todo puno ng gasboy para mas accurate ang reading ng fuel consumption mo

my service manual says at 100k magpapalit ng plugs..

atleast 300km/week ang tinatakbo ng fd ko..9-10km/l mixed

The FB doesn't handle as well as the FD. Throttle is also less responsive. They basically made the FB an Altis.

Meanwhile, the 11th gen is a huge improvement from the 10th gen in terms of handling (I own both). The 11th is more planted around corners, and the 6-speed manual is very well-matched to the Dual VVTi engine.

It's still not as fast as the FD, but it's good enough to be useful on track vs other econoboxes:

For less than the price of a Civic FD R18 MT, you can get a 2007-2008 Focus TDCi MT. The Focus has one solid chassis and, the 2.0L turbo diesel offers an ample amount of torque and a lot of tuning potential.

There was some discussion long way before on comparison of the Civic FD versus the Focus TDCi.

Thanks sir jut. Unfortunately, my 11th is a V unit. The CVT doesn't have the "feeling" to it and i want to get a manual for a project car. Haven't tried to track my altis yet but I'll soon do. I guess i have to expand my options to impreza 3rd gen manuals too since the K20 manual fds are very rare to come by. What do you think about those? Since it costs 350-450 and not as hard to find as manual k20s. Thank you again!

The 1.6 CVT is ho-hum, saps too much power from the engine. The 1.8 Civic CVT is better, automatic vs automatic.

Haven't seen anyone use a non-WRX Impreza on the track. For sure parts are hard to come by. If you want a dedicated track car, EG/EK Civics are still the most ideal even if they're old and expensive, simply because of parts/upgrades availability.

Got it. Thank you sir.

mga sir ask ko lang po ok lang po ba sa HONDA CIVIC 2008 ang Shell Helix Ultra 0w-40? kasi yun ang ginamit ko nung nag change oil ako

Ok lang yan. Yan namang viscousity ang kinakarga ng mga casa maintained honda nowadays although Medyo manipis for me. But that'll basically do.

to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

Appreciate if anyone can refer autoshops in Paranaque that can properly service FDs. I normally do it in the casa but its really not worth it anymore given that my car is 11years old already.
Ideally Sucat or Bicutan area. Thanks

I can vouch for Danny of D & R Fast Auto shop. Our old Hondas are brought there for servicing.

I see a lot of cars being serviced in Pitworkz Hongly but the crowd there is my type. Dami mga fanboys doon.

Small correction... what I meant was "the crowd there is not my type". Hehehe
