I want to know where you got the air scoop. That is pretty sweet. I wonder if the USDM will ever have that option or will yours fit the USDM??

Yes...You're right...that made my car looks like a rally or an off road car...lol... the tires profile is quite thick....But, in order to have a higher ground clearance, i Choose these tires... Roads in Jakarta are not very friendly hehehehe...and also, the building and basement parking lot, made me crazy...Using DF210, My Jazz's under parts, tend to hit the ground when facing bumpy and higher ground....

For the air scoop... as usual..it's MK Donz works...it's customized...
self made...and the placement is exactly above the brake fluid tank.
But I'm not quite sure whether it has same placement with the USDM type.

Do you notice that, there's some removable cover near the wiper? perhaps it covered the brake fluid tank... The air scoop replace the cover...

Hmmm I will have to talk to Donny and see how he made or where he got the scoop from.

Yes I believe there is a removable cover near the wiper by the brake fluid cap (next to the air intake inlet). I will have to look into that.

thanks

That sucks!!!

My wifes tsx had some curb damage and I fixed it doing this...
DIY Fixing Curbed Wheels Rim Repair How To - 8th Generation Honda Civic Forum

Now it is barely noticeable. The average joe would never be able to tell.

Or you can just buy new rims...

I'm sorry. I know how it feels.

well, you'll get for comfort though...

I'm using Sustec Tanabe DF210 spring....

It's fulfill all my needs...from stability and comfort...still good enough for daily use and at circuit without having front & rear strutbar...
How much stiffer is the ride on DF210 over the OEM springs? Do you find it harsh or stiff enough to tell the difference?

Can you compare the ride between DF210 and Eibach Pro-Kit springs?
Thank you for your feedback!

Sorry to hear about that, Vinn. If the damage is really visible, you want to look into outfits in your area that repair alloy wheels. If done properly, it will look like new.

Up here in Vancouver, the cost of repairing an alloy wheel is about CDN$150.

One very last answer before i go to bed

It's more stiffer DF210 over our OEM springs here...but not to much...it's still tolerable... it's still comfortable enough with much more improve handling...

Between DF210 and Eibach Pro-Kit springs?? Let's just say, Eibach Pro-Kit springs is in the middle between DF210 springs and OEM springs...
Not too lower and not too stiff...but still much improve handling than OEM...

It' your choice. MK Donz was using Eibach pro-kit springs...
Now he's using NF210. It's nearly the same with Eibach pro-kit.

Thanx...

There in fact is a removable part but its the opposite side >_<
Is your scoop mated to your intake as well?

Hmmmm..... If your intake is on that side then it would have been great to have the scoop feed right into the intake like Group M's. I'm not sure about the Fit but they have a similar style for the civic and it's pretty sick

well...the intake is near with the scoop...because the intake manifold (header) is on the driver side (right side).

Does your intake on your left side? or right side? The removable cover is upper the brake fluid cap...

That air scoop is great Shiro-san_Apeos!
Hope you don't mind sharing where you bought that air scoop and the part number. TIA.
By the way, are the cars LHD (left hand drive) or RHD in Indonesia?

It probably wouldn't matter bengolf unless you plan to modify it for us I'm pretty sure it's going to have to be altered so that it fits on the other side of the hood.

1FiTpINOY was right...it's self made...
Indonesia is RHD...
You could modify yourself...maybe you could ask a sample to MK Donz, so you might try to make or modify it to be fitted on the left side..

Thank you for your reply Shiro-san_Apeos. Perhaps, one day when I run out of bolt-on projects.
