Bought the car off a guy called dominic who was a member on here...cypress green Vti-r. work planned on the car, looking to upgrade from b16 toa b18 or if i`m really daring a k20 ideally. only other option is to upgrade engine internals to the extreme? Car has few mods: full xforce exhaust and headers, retune, coilovers and cold air feed..made 134whp which is not bad at all..base to build upon..any ideas guys let me know as i`m new to the Honda scene...bit different to the evo scene.

ooooooohhhhhhhhhh :thumbsup: nah i wouldnt know ;)

who is fonzie? lol :confused:

reason why i ask if the headlights are USDM is because of the orange strip in it. australian civics dont have them, nor do the japanese.

and gtfo if you dont know who the fonz is!!! he must be before your time.

this colour is too overlooked... when the paint's in exceptional condition such as yours :) stealth yet still a bit of razzle dazzle!

Fitted the EK9 cluster and looks smart as hell, mind you have had few minor issues so far:

headlight bulb has gone!!!!

had disagreement with a speed bump and snapped my front lip so getting new one :)

reedyek4
03-07-2009, 10:28 AM
right guys i have looked at my options for around the 6 month time mark...3 options:


- turbo b16a, full worked internals, new ecu and all turbo stuff (larger exhaust etc)

- turbo b18, stock internals witha few bolt ons

- k20a with few bolt ons, (exhaust, individual throttle bodies etc)


let me know what you think!
