Well i bought my car in early march for a bargain (I MEAN BARGAIN!). I should have waited until i found a better one but I JUST COULDN"T.

Car:
Honda Civic Breeze 1992
KMS: 200xxx or so
Transmission: Manual
Modifications: Stock

I know its a carby and i will get alot of abuse for that but i LOVE the color yellow =D

This is how it looked when i got it. I should have taken more photos but never planned to post it as a thread.

First thing i did for the car was to change the interior out as the previous owner had mismatching interior seats + breeze interior :thumbdwn: (IMO). I got a decent pair of GLI interior seats and popped them in and it made a BIG difference in the way it looked.

Hated the bonnet that came with the car. Terrible welding job with stupid vents that dont vent. So i found a user on OH selling a carbon fibre bonnet for a awesome price :)
to add the car was 4WD height, wish i took photos to show. It was terrible (looks wise) but great for speed bumps :p
Slowly the car was coming along.

Loving the JDM look for EG's i took that same route in hope of making my car look yum.
Ideally i was planning to do an engine conversion to a b16a as soon as i bought it, but having a GF, part-time work, uni and end of year holiday made things very hard.
I decided to save for the holiday first and postpone my conversion till next year, car still runs great and takes me to A-to-B. i can wait :)

Modifications since date of purchase.

Interior seats to GLI.
Carbon Fibre Bonnet
Amber Corners
Fog Lights
Carbon Fibre Duckbill
EG6 Front Lip
EG5 LCAs and Rear Sway Bar
Lowered on Lovells Superlows with Koni Shocks

These were photos i took last week.

pretty bad condition rear bumper. wanting a replacement bumper and a respray for it but ive been postponing that.

This is how it looked as of this afternoon. I was at my neighbours with DIY painting for the car. We did the rims and touched up the grill for the car.

Can u spot what else we painted?

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3124/dsc08964c.jpg

Since im not planning to gain bigger power until next year, i thought might aswell get the car ready for to handle the extra speed :cool:
So i've planned to work on the cars handling now since im quite happy with the way it looks.

Future Modifications to come.
ITR Rear Sway
ASR Brace
Struts front and rear
Exhaust to be coool :D

LOL its a subtle upgrade. the previous owner had worn front prelude seats that sat really low with worn bolsters. the rear was the breeze seats which were dirty. i personally didn't like the contrast with front and rears being different so i settled for a decent complete set. =D
but your right, doesn't count as an upgrade.
could of got SI seats but i didn't seem to like it. LOL.

LOL thats still a dream for me. buying rear seats alone is a expensive upgrade + have no money to afford bucket seats. gosh they are expensive.
would look mint though

thanks for that. will continue to keep updating this thread.

note to everyone planning to spray their wheels.
ACRYLIC Paint is a darker type of black which requires a clear coat on top (recommended)
ENAMEL Paint is a tad more shiny with a less of a black colour. appears to be navy blue on some angles. (no clear coat required)

Looking good !!

IMO keep the mouldings 'unpainted'.. or remove them alltogether and fill the holes.. colourmatching them is neither here nor there IMO and looks ricey.

Alternative to B16A swap is a B18B or B20B non VTEC's..
use a B16 Gearbox and will make the car quite fast for the $$$.. but you will still have all the fun n games of converting carby to EFi.

good job on the DIY painting bits !!

thanks for that buddy. im really worried that the paint will come off if i take it to the car wash. i hope i prepped enough with enough layers....
i guess i will find out when i wash it.

To be honest, this may make me look like a fool, but i was looking into worked carby motors, it would be different but i it was just a thought. LOL

yeah if the right motor comes along for the right price i would LOVE to snatch it, but gotta save for the holiday.

p.s. i deserve to spoil myself every now and then :p

used a cheap shift light that normally plugs to the 12v, snipped the end off and connected it to the ground and ignition of the car behind the dash.

it normally plugs to your cigarette lighter in the car.

pretty simple. WORKS TOO

19-05-2010, 09:07 PM
ive got tein ss coilovers with stiffer spring rates, with dc2r sway bars and a asr brace..
im thinking about getting some strut bars, and seeing if they doing any noticeable difference

other than that i have not really had any experence with anyother brands, ive been in an eg with buddy club coilovers and it handles fairly good..
also driven an ek with full race buddy club coilovers a cage, on semis.. the works really, that was insane

so its down to person perferance really, i went with tein becasue my best mate had had them for a while and was happy with them.. i am too

quangsuke
19-05-2010, 11:19 PM
ICYOIL thanks for that.
honestly after i get all my parts for better handling, i would to test it on a track. i know its a carby but provided my engine doesn't blow i really would like to try it.
but thats one day.

Nice meetin you at the Melbourne meet Q. Was nice to be able to break apart from the big group and have a decent conversation. Your EG is clean.
Back when I an EG i wanted to paint it yellow so bad. Can't wait to see the progress of your build. I like the way your going with the styling.

Saving for a B series conversion after your holiday sounds great. B series FTW

don't stress you can't rush these things. I waited 2 years before my turbo conversion. Now it's been another 2. Studying and tried to mod your car is tuff. I just finished and started a proper full time job now. So my build will take off now.

BIGTYM
14-06-2010, 10:31 PM
Nice, sounds like we had the same idea then.. You know what they say great minds think alike. If you end up doing a home engine swap in the future make sure you call me around. I need to start getting my hands dirty so when it comes time for me to do it I got some experience.

sangyz
14-06-2010, 10:48 PM
Lol no worries man will do. same goes to you man better call me if you do anything like that ill help ya out x]. You can teach me all about the turbo hehe ;] and lucky i know alot about engine swapping since i've been through 2 swaps already my knowledge on them is quite good hehe lol funny thing is i can study and remember this but back in school i cant remember and cant study for shit haha.

looking good man but seriously with all the money you're spending on little things, u could have done a swap HAHA.. Recaros = half a B16 swap LOL..

on the carby thang - you COULD build up a SOHC carby monster but then al lthe custom fabrication adnt uning you will need - once again you're in swap cost territory again. think about it. .a worked SOHC non-VTEC carby monster (plus labour) will cost prob more than the $2-3k it costs for a B16 swap for example and you'd be doing well to make even the power of a stock B16..

there's been a couple of big-fat carby'd B16's over the years with RPM switch VTEC etc.. not the most practical setups but you CAN have fun with them..

pablos8
23-06-2010, 03:24 PM

lol, thats what i was considering building up a carby monster with cam and longer rods etc. read heaps on carby builds from us sites but my mate advised me not to even go down that path.
i know the money i spent i could've done a engine conversion, atleast a D16 vtec anyway.

but my plans are for the b-series engine and ive got a holiday at the end of this year, so ive done what i can with limited funds to get the car looking the way i wanted it too before i do the engine.

but you are right, could've saved for better mods. impulse buy.....:(

by the looks of it, it doesn't seem that way.
just waiting to find sway and asr.


got my eyes set on 6UL's in bronze. what do you guys think?
alternative would be rota slipstreams in bronze. let me know what you guys think.

why bronze, i think it would be a nice contrast on yellow rather then the common black

by the looks of it, it doesn't seem that way.
just waiting to find sway and asr.


got my eyes set on 6UL's in bronze. what do you guys think?
alternative would be rota slipstreams in bronze. let me know what you guys think.

why bronze, i think it would be a nice contrast on yellow rather then the common black


Yeah dude get the 6ul's, I have a silver set for my red eg...They're hot.

Yesterday i decided to protect the faces of my backseat passengers (which i hardly ever had) by wrapping my pillars in rubber foam. As you can see on my B-pillar i couldn't fit it around the edge of the pillar, so i improvised. :cool:

i used electrical tape. you might be able to see it if u look closely. LOL
my zip ties at home didn't fit.

took a while to find but a few traders on here were selling them.

yeh i think the black moldings match in with lip, spoiler, wheels, bonnet etc so looks pretty good.

Window tint? Can't tell if it has a slight tint or not...??? But darker back windows, and lighter tint fronts would look awesome :)

maybe a little over the top with the bars inside - how fast are you cornering lol!!

Looking good man, but i'd seriously take out that pillar bar that's right behind the front row's headrests - THAT is just plain dangerous and isnt gonna stiffen up shit.. get a Do-Luck floor bar if u wanna stiffen up the mid section.. and padded foam aint gonna help in the event of a neck/spinal injury !!

Vicks
13-07-2010, 02:57 PM
Totally agree. Throw them on when you're on the tracks and take them off when on road. I don't really think you'll want to take a corner at 90kph.

If you want some noticeable increased handling, invest in some coilovers and swaybars :)

Let me know if its worth getting one brother

if u can get it dirt cheap i would recommend getting it, otherwise i wouldn't have gotten it.
car felt normal. no visible gains in mild cornering.

i will take the car harder over the next few days.

yeah im going to be tracking the car. the seat is not ADR approved, but this will be the primary seat until i find a nice sparco one. this will become the passenger.
really depends on how strict they are when they scrutineer my car.

You can race the car using any seat you want, ADR or non-ADR compliant under AASA rules. CAMS will normally require ADR approved seats.

Very nice car, i got my white eg a week ago and running a carby too, slowly blinging it up as i move along before i do a conversion, i'm a student too, working at coles too as a night filler! hahaha I reckon its seems cheaper for us to spend a couple hundreds at a time then saving up a couple of Gs and doing a conversion. However i'm also looking forward to my b-series, dont know when thou..

dw buddy, take your time do things at YOUR own pace.
good to hear ur working at coles aswell, great money in that for such little work.

just make sure u plan everything out and know EXACTLY what direction your heading. plan in stages of what you want to do, that will save you the most money.

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6347/dsc09067.jpg





Well it has been a depressing morning for me.
Woke up jolly and excited to only find that my Spoon front strut does not fit.

Because im still rocking a carby the carburetor is too high to fit the strut bar.
didn't try the rear because i still want to use my sub. =D

just waiting on next parts now :(
