Hey all,

I finally ordered some canards from the US (with the help of a nice SAU forumer).

I should be in a position to get them install soon and can't wait to get them one.

I was wondering if anyone has pictures of with installed on a R33.

I could only find the following (at least it has a R33 front bar).

What you guys think??

HAHA I agree!!

At least it will match your fake evo vortex generator!!

What's your farken problem? I just like the look of them and hence got them installed - not trying be an evo or anything.

What makes you say they're fake Evo generators? If I got the exact ones then that's trying to be like an evo - nupe, don't want them to be the same - just got a generic looking one. You'll see a few WRX's, CIVIC's and other Lancers with them - I think they look hot so went for them - that simple.

It's my car, I do what I want so fark you.

A lot of people think they look mad (including myself) - just because you don't like them doesn't mean others don't.

the Civic's front bar is an R32 GTR one isn't it...?

anyway the canards look a bit short on that particular Civic but if you look closely the the flared front fenders is why they are short...

if your car has stock fenders and the canards are obviously longer than it should look alright... it's all about the length dude

just post up some pictures once you got them up and running, and don't expect everyone to have positive comments man it's just the way sh*t is

Hey mate, thanks for your comments - yeah should look ok...

Positve/negative commments ... doesn't phrase me... I've heard fair more positive comments on my car than negative - but then everyone has their own views so it's no problem to me. Then the same can go for other cars - we mod our cars the way we personally feel it's nice to us, so I enjoy hearing peope's comments (both positive and negative) - no issue.

Thanks champ... I'll post up some pics when the go on so we'll just have to see how they go...

Regards,

I really don't know why everyone puts up that stupid picture, face it all skylines are ricers, lancers, wrxs and all imports will always get labelled ricer. So what? Is it such a bad thing? So he wants to dress the car up? How is that different from any other car enthusiast? pfft if thats ricer, rice me up. I love it. Pics when your done please :D

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
