Depends. It could be a control arm problem or some other suspension part. I recommend that you take the car in to a dealership or some alignment place to get it checked out..

1 damaged rim = reasons for you to get 4 aftermarket rims

I like that JDM-ified White FD1 you posted (minus the ill fitting kit), it has some nice HIDs. We still need to find some 6000k bulbs and I'm gonna get 6000k fogs down the road. I hate the DRL though.

Oh, I found out that P1NG replaced his low beams with HIDs too.

Which white FD1?? Is there any FD1? I just know that there are FD2 and FD2-R (Civic Type R). I'm gonna get an intake done first and then we look for 6000K D2R bulb for our low beam. Ping's low beam is OEM HID with 6000K and he change the fog light with HID as well. I changed the high beam with MTEC Super White (but not as white as I expect) and got 6 LEDs for my Parking light. Do you wanna change your parking light too? I'm thinking to get white LEDs for my rear plate light coz it looks very awesome and elegant.

That is my white LEDs parking light.

Sorry to hear that, dude... Try to drive it for a while if the steering move to right/left on a straight smooth road, then you might need an alignment. I can recommend you a place where I usually go.
Well, I agree with lonelydriver to get your car checked in the dealership first (who knows they give you free alignment)

meeks · 03-19-2008, 04:00 AM

ivan: thanks man.. +1 to ping ping again :) k20z3.mmm wonder how it feels/drives like. i owned an ep3 the a3 IMO not that special...

kevtazy: sorry to hear bro.. if you need an alignment.. i'd suggest dale's alignment @ langley.. thats annoying when the car that cuts you doesnt get into any kind of crap and you end up hitting something!

I drove the type-s as a courtesy last time. It was awesome... The engine sound is very musical, even my friend told me that as if he's in a racing car. The throttle response is very quick and you won't be scared of any other fast car such as mustang (you can smoke him for sure). I wish I can trade my car with type-s but the fuel consumption is a bit more than my CSX. Oh I almost forgot, you will never forget how the vtec sound on that car. Much louder than K20Z2

kaya nga FD1/FD2 ang tawag sa mga JDM/ASEAN civics eh para hindi malito sa FD3S ng Mazda RX7

the difference also lies with the engine:

1. The R18 - (1.8liter 140hp i-Vtec engine) is available in all 3 civic variants.
2. The 2.2 i-CTDi turbodiesel engine (w/ 6speed manual or 5speed matic) is available only in europe.
3. The K20Z2 (2.0liter 155hp i-Vtec engine) is only available in the JDM civic FD1 (the 2.0 being sold here)
THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM
4. The K20Z3 (2.0liter 197hp i-Vtec engine) which is only available in the USDM FA5 SI sedan and FA2 SI coupe
THIS IS ALSO DIFFERENT FROM
5. The K20A (2.0liter 222hp i-Vtec engine) which is EXCLUSIVE only to the JDM Civic Type R (FD2)
FINALLY
6. The K20Z4 (2.0liter 198hp i-Vtec engine) which is EXCLUSIVE only to the EUDM Civic Type R (FN2 hatchback)

so in short, we get a VERY detuned engine that should be doing 220+ hp, but instead does 155hp... an engine that could rev to 8,500rpm, but instead revs to only 7,000rpm hahaha

the person who posted this forgot to include cdm = csx z3 and z2

theres a lot of k20 variants..

hold on csxian.. let me just hear my...my...my... i-vtec disengaging..! lol

haha... that was what went thru my head after it happened

do you guys know what the price range is for an allignment?
it was like 60km right into the curb and off .. so sadd
im thinking if i should do it now, or wait till i get a new set of wheels and do it then.
as much as i hate to say this, i feel a bit unsafe about my ride now
thanks guys!!

csxian · 03-19-2008, 04:26 AM

When I searched on Google, I found FD1 is JDM Civic body with R18 engine.
Civic FD1 from Jakarta... - Honda Civic Member's Rides - Honda Civic Forum
check this Indonesian guy's car... His car is R18 FD1...
I remembered I find somewhere that CSX is FD2 and CTR is FD2R but I totally forgot where I saw that. I'm not sure if I'm correct.

meeks · 03-19-2008, 04:27 AM

i'd suggest to do it soon kev sir! dont be like me and wait till you do more damage.. well i dont know what exactly was damaged on your ride. same thing happened to me before.. ended up replacing the spindle and axle ... but i didnt know that i needed to replace em' right away since the damage was that bad i was a stubborn darn kid and i ended up fawking myself over. !!! holy monkey 60KM!!!!! i hit the curb @ 40KM and i had to replace the aformentioned parts!! well that said it was on an old car.. (91 civic si) and the angle of how i hit the curb was pretty severe aswell..

If you rims is still usable, do alignment as soon as possible. We don't want you to miss the meet because of the weird handling of your car.
New set of rims would be great... Get a Mugen GP rims!!

You must see Nammer's car when he got his accident. It was very painful, even just to see it..

Same there in Indonesia... With the price of Civic, you can buy..ehm.. TSX or RX-8 at least. There are only 3 trims of Civic in Indo. MT R18, AT R18, and AT K20Z2. The option they have are fully-loaded, you name it. They got leather on base model. But it's still pricey.. Even I kinda regret why not buy a car from the states. But I love my car now... NO CSX in the states tho...

meeks · 03-19-2008, 04:42 AM

haha thats right! were blessed by that fact! hehehe csx drivers should feel very proud!! crank dat Z2 LOL!

KevTazY · 03-19-2008, 04:46 AM

im going to give vancouver honda a call tomorrow first thing.
yeah id hate to miss the meet. never been to one either tho
what is the usual dayplan? photoshoot... cruise.. etc.. ?
oh yeah i just took some pics of the rims, not THAT bad i guess..
but still. it hurts

owwwwiee..
sorry for the huge photos!!

meeks · 03-19-2008, 04:49 AM

is your steering wheel straight when you drive? or is it on an angle? does it shake on slow speeds? high speeds? braking?

KevTazY · 03-19-2008, 04:52 AM

its like. when i make it straight ( or so i think its straight )
its slowly angles towards the left.
no shakes or anything .. yet. braking is fine.

If it's slowly angle, it might be the road is not even. But your best bet is check with your dealer. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong on it. I know it sucks to curb your rims but at least you're okay and not involve into an accident. I think someone in craigslist can fix it for $40, not 100% sure. Or you can try any autobody shop to get a quote.

meeks · 03-19-2008, 05:14 AM

haha best bet is to go to the dealer man.. if money is to be disposed of.. i really recommend dales @ langley.. when i had the same thing faawkin got kal tire to do it..i was all over the place.. got this other plce to do it ... (kingsway and rupert) .. same issue.

these guys are pretty reasonable $50 bucks..i dunno if you wanna go to langley though.. i searched and searched and on vancouver forums a lot of people recommended them so i tried and well, they did a good job, they dont give me attitude when i ask them to check specific things.. overall i was a satisfied cust. i dunno if digital agrees though..
