what happened to it? if you dont mind me asking

Fluid was just leaking all out of it. They discovered the problem at the 20,000k service. They were all very good with it telling me they would replace it under warranty. So no idea what really caused it.

Hey guys. I've had my 18' RS hatch for a little under a week now. I've been wondering what the US equivalent is? I know they don't really line up trim for trim, but i was just wondering.

Also, Anyone installed an aftermarket subwoofer?
Thinking of getting the PRL Motorsports stage 1 intake system. Only $149 and would be easy to swap out for services etc.

Anyone looked into Airbag suspension? how good would it be! I always thought the back end on the RS could sit a little lower IMO.

PS: I'm from perth! If anyone wants to catch up hit me up!

Closest Equivalent is the EX-T but it maybe a little closer to a VTI-LX.

After market system install is done in my car. You'll have a harder time because you have the upgraded sound system & may require a total rip out to upgrade? Not sure on that one. I have a VTI-L which has the stock system & it was pretty easy to upgrade that one.

I am avoiding aftermarket cooling, have heard nothing but bad things from people that have used them on here. The intake on our cars is far from restrictive anyway for the l.5l capacity. Save the money and get a hondata or KTuner. They are by far the best bang for bucks performance upgrade you can do!

I have had a look into airbags & there are few kits out there in the states you can obtain. Also plenty of people in Pakistan have done it too oddly enough, but it's far from cheap. You're talking upwards of 6K AUD for an install plus loss of space in the truck for the tank / controller.

I will be just going for some lowered springs & upgraded shocks once I get my new rims on this week and see if I get any rubbing.

Sport Touring in the US is the equivalent of VTI-LX.

Not sure where RS would sit to be honest. It's a shame the VTI-LX doesn't have the same rear end as the RS with a little more style considering the VTI-LX is the highest level trim.

what wheel specs are you going for?

what wheel specs are you going for?

19*8.5 and they are a custom offset. I think they were aiming for around +40 but I'll be able to confirm once they are fitted today / tomorrow

Hey,
Has anyone installed the PRL front/downpipe on their civics?

Hey,

With the CVTs on our Civics, you would be hitting the safe torque limit with just a KTuner (or Flashpro) and an ethanol blend tune, both of which are much simpler to setup and reverse if required. Therefore, there is likely less interest in a front/downpipe locally. However, I could see how a catless downpipe could be cool - would make anti-lag accessible.

Hey Oz owners,
Has anyone got the infamous sub-woofer rattle got fixed by a dealer. I took mine to a dealer in Perth (Prestige Honda) and not happy with their temporary fix, still hearing a lot of rattle.
