Hi guys, I'm from Singapore. We have D16s for ES down here.

I wonder if anyone has changed their (Final Drive)FD before in their Stock D17 in states?

I would have to say no. I don't believe any one makes a different final drive for the transmissions on the d17's. Right the moment the only thing transmission related they have out for our cars now is dezod is carrying a LSD but I don't think any one has actually installed it yet, since it only came out about a month ago. Nice ride though, it looks really clean and smooth!

Thanks for your compliments bro! As request more pics of my bitch!

I was thinking of reducing the huge drop everytime I upshift. Another method is a close gearbox ratio. But changing FD will be easier. I wonder if We could use the EG civics gear ratio from Mfactory

Some photos of my humble ES Civic.























The photos below were taken on the Move coordinated with the photographer in another car. (My car was Running at 60-90km/hour)

I thought of buying these but not sure if it fits!



Price: Only S$765 SGD delivered! (D Series)

changing the final drive wont move the gears any closer together. It just shifts the entire set of gearing higher or lower. If you want to move the ratios closer, you need to swap the gearsets for each gear.

This will improve the acceleration in the vehicle. I know it will not reduce the drop (only a close ratio gearbox can do that), however the acceleration will be higher at the tradeoff for topspeed

So even if the RPM drops by 2k, it will increase faster after the gearchange

You won't find it dude. If you find someway of bringing it back, maybe I can contact the person who customised it for me

Singapore to USA, i wonder how much the cost will it be!

You guys have it better in USA, we don't have no flywheels here, No ACT dudes!

Somebody know the 01-05 civic tansmission gear ratios, all models? Here was a thread about that.

p.s.
the final drive of an EX (countershaft & diff gear) fit on a LX tranny?

 
Rep Power: 275

1st 3.142
2nd 1.869
3rd 1.241
4th 0.969
5th 0.756 on EX and 0.710 on LX

Final 4.411 on EX and 4.111 on LX
LX and DX have same ratios

HX is
1st 3.142
2nd 1.750
3rd 1.166
4th 0.857
5th 0.710
and final is 3.842

everything out of the EX will fit on the LX tranny

There is a possibility that the parts out of the honda fit transmission will fit but no one I think really knows for sure so don't hold me to that. the quafie LSD that dezod sells for our cars supposedly is originally made for the fit and you have to use the fit ring gear and bolts.

I found on D-series.or that the LX, DX and HX have a different 1st ratio. 3.461

The parts number of the axles of LX,DX and the EX are different. The axles are different, or I can use my LX axles with the EX tranny?

I got all my ratios off one of the parameter maps on my K-pro those are the ratios that hondata uses for the trans missions IMO i would trust those cause honda usually keeps the first gear ratio the same in all of there transmissions.

As for the axles last I checked you can use all d17 axles with all d17 transmissions the only problem you run into is using k-series axles cause they have different spline on the shaft. but I would double check that you can probably fine what you are looking for in the brake swap section because if you do 5 lug swap there is something about changing axles

the lengths of the manual axles are supposed to be the same but you cant use auto ones, shorter, so not ALL d17 axles

ahhh that would make since sorry I don't ever think about Auto's they are pretty much looked down on all over the world except in the U.S. (no-offense to any auto owners)
