welcome to ozhonda!

thanks mate. need new pictures with the rotas on instead of bad camera phone pics lol.

[UkuleleGod]

Looking forward to seeing them!

Do you have any pictures of the interior?

[ekcoupe]

looks good mate, yeh need some pics of interior n engine good luck

[fullmetal]

nicely modded!

interior pics would be nice

[markismaximus]

I like the wheels. Definitely get some pics up with them on the car. Did you get them from h3motorsport on here?

[Alvis]

Congratulations mate, that looks fantastic! Love the Championship White too. It looks very clean and not 'over the top' - well done and welcome!

It's actually really nice to see an OEM style EK hatch with genuine Type R parts!

Some genuine Type R headlights would look great, it might be just the photo but the ones on there look a little 'smokey' - but genuine ones are worth about 500 bucks from the US, so pretty expensive...

I'm also looking at getting some BC coilovers for my EK sedan - I've read some good reviews on them on a number of forums so would be great to get an update from you once you get them fitted and to let the forum know how they ride.

thanks mate. appreciate the feedback. id love oem headlights but that's not my priority at the moment. and about the bc coilovers, my mate has a rx8 and has had them for 2 years. rides nice and no problems. thinking of picking them up from johnny @ OTR

[tunacnt]

lol. mate did i say they were oem?

[yellows2k]

wat ek is it?

[tunacnt]

wat ek is it?

1998 ek1

[Alvis]

yeh, most of the feedback from BC Coilovers I've read is pretty good. Don't get me wrong they're not Tein's and can't stand up to continual track day use, but if it's just for the street and the occasional track they look like a winner...

[tunacnt]

yeah that's true. they seem to suit my needs for suspension and they're cost efficient so ill give them a go. ill be sure to let you know how they ride. and ill try and take some updated photos over this weekend.

[flipfire]

nice, i like.. slap the wheels on

[tunacnt]

finally had some time to give the car a quick clean and take some photos off my mates camera (excuse the bad pics.) let me know what you guys think :)

Very nice ride and welcome.

I currently have BC N+ and i must say that they are the best coilovers that i have had and realli good for the track. best bang for buck suspension.

cheers

[tunacnt]

thanks mate

[flipfire]

Dont confuse Buddy Club N+ with BC coilovers. They are different companies.

[TheSaint]

problem with stock civic is the interior is all grey .. and when you make the outside look so sweet like tunacnt has and put in some nice seats the stock grey (boring) interior looks odd

its best to replace it with either EK9/ITR parts, Dc2 stock parts or just get it painted and do the rest with seat covers/DIY

cant wait to see more of this ... its so hot man! =)

[flipfire]

BC coilovers is the company name. They make bang for buck coilovers.

Wholesale suspensions stock them in Sydney. Ebay has them too.
