    You guys sure know how to keep us watching your videos. I have a taffeta white FA5 and is stoked to see this build series. An excellent choice to repaint the whole car to have a clean fresh look. Can’t wait to learn from you guys on this civic platform.
    When you guys did a mini build series on the Redline Orange Pearl, i watched it multiple times because it was so entertaining.

    Love the 8th gen platform!! The 09-11 facelift octagon trunk taillights would make this car look SO MUCH better. night and day difference for this build in terms of styling!! The existing 07-08 circle design makes these cars look wayyyy older than they really are...

    The Hasport mounts aren't too bad as a street car when using their softest poly offered. I suspect a lot of the NVH is from the crap done to the front mount and tightening the rear mount in a position that put tension on it. I daily the full Hasport setup on my FA5. It is noticeable but not as bad as you described with just the rear mount. While you are in there if you are staying with OEM mounts replace the oil filled passenger mount. That has failed 100% looking at this car. Even if this Si was babied its whole life I would tell you to replace that engine mount. When this mount fails it will allow a ton of engine movement and added NVH as well.
    If it were me, I would say replace the front and passenger mount with new OEM parts and get new street Hasport rear and passenger brace mounts. It is nice step up from OEM and what I wish I did on my own FA5 instead of the full Hasport kit.

    Hey Dave, that's my favorite Civic sedan body style too, but it has to have the Type R, like yours. My favorite Civic coupe body style is my 1998 Civic EX coupe, but I like the '99-'00 front end best. Other than those, I'm a Toyota man through and through. None of my three grown kids want my original 1985 Corolla GT-S that's been in the family since new, so I guess I'll be buried in it, lol.

  • @sovan781
    @sovan781 Год назад

    ktuned and some other companies make the header for the k24 swap on these gen so it have more clearance which is better than bashing the chassis, another cheap upgrade is using the acura rl brake kit from fastbrakes which uses rl calipers and 350z brembo rotors, i have the fd2r wheels and with the bigger rotor is look much nicer than the stock 11 inch rotor. this video wins and an great inspire for me since im slowly building my fa5 to this spec too k24 cte supercharge

    Just the Hasport poly mount alone should feel nearly OEM. If you're getting a ton of NVH the car probably has a balance shaft delete pump, which is great for spinning past 8000, but creates a TON of vibration in a K24 car. The OEM balance shaft pump from either the K24 or the K20Z3 work with modification; K24 pump needs a pickup extension to match the 8th gen pan, K20Z3 pump needs some material removed to clear the K24 crank, both will work fine and make the car feel much smoother especially up top as the K24 harmonics aren't great.
    I tried rubber mounts in my NA car and they were all destroyed in a year, SC car would hurt it worse, put in just that lower Hasport mount you guys found and new rubber and those have been fine for 4 years now as a GLTC car, still comfy to drive to and from the track with the stock balance shaft pump.
    Honestly all of the hardware up in the front end seem to last forever, my racecar is still on 200k mile axles and ive never really seen front wheel bearing or balljoint issues other than slow wear with super high miles, OEM stuff is cheap though so refresh never hurts! Also those rear hubs can fatigue fail with age, SKF is the OEM or just get some from the dealer. Other brands fail faster.
    Honda nerd moment: the CSX bodystyle was originally not supposed to be shared, but Honda Japan decided that the FA5 look was too radical for Japan, so they took the Acura bodywork. So every Type R gets an Acura beak on the nose and trunk!

    I agree that the FD2 is one of the best looking Civic sedans, but same goes for the standard FA1/FA5. I personally feel like the 8th Gen sedans are better looking than the 8th Gen coupes.

    I guarantee it wasn’t the rear mount unless someone put something stiffer than a 70A in there. It was likely the window weld filled front mount combined with old right and left mounts. Hard rubber will vibrate too and if it’s not hard enough your header will slam into your tunnel. Let’s see how this turns out.
