Sprayed dettol antiseptic spray all over the plastics, twice and wiped everything down. Dash, passenger+drive side plastics, glovebox. Only takes 1 line of text to say it but it took forever.
Cleaned out the fuel cap area
Unscrewed and took out all the speaker covers and cleaned them

[viinnh]

how about the king springs senna ?

[senna]

Nah, just re-fit the standard coils on the koni's with the spring seat lower - i already have clearance issues where i park my car at home, plus i wanted a bit more comfort. Its down around 10mm in the front and 20 or so in the rear to take the rake out of it.

Drives good and i can still drive across sydney's shit roads without wincing!

Kings will be up or sale this arvo if i get a chance to clean them $150 for the lot, super lows

Ripped out the carpet.

[THE 2BSEEN]

So I desided to buy some new wheels so i can run some bigger tires for when i build my b20 vtec and for drags and so on
Seen some wheels for sale for $260 5x wheels, 15x7 in size.
So rang the bloke he said they had some gravel rash... offered him $150 cash and we agreed on $160
I went to pick them up and relised they were 16x8 stoked now looking at painting them.

Ripped out the carpet.
Whats the plans with the car bud[/QUOTE]

Getting the smell out of this used car i paid too much for is priority #1

After that, progressively doing almost everything black. All the light grey stuff, i want to black out. The dark grey of the interior I can live with..

I've taken LOTS of photos as I've gone along so, there'll eventually be a build thread =D

I'm happy with the stock EK seats, just not the ones that came with the car. I need to find some used ones in good condition..

After that, I might try to get a rear seat delete kit, or replace with other ones that are in good cond. that dont stink.

I called knox auto carpets but they dont do carpets for EK's, only EG and prior >_< so I'll be trying to find a place that can do my carpet and headliner for a reasonable price (i know I can DIY, but if the price is semi reasonable I'll go with it)

"This is a Type-R **style** OEM Shift Knob" Place of origin - china.

Looks like they just package them in genuine boxes.

That being said, doesn't look too bad though!

[Demanufacturer]

Did some cleanup on the gearbox.. so much crud on the slidey part..

Then cleaned up a bit below it with some compressed air, dettol & WD40.. areas nobody will ever see

I found a loose screw in a weird place too.. dont think I caused it myself either

This is where I got it from:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250883533534?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

To be honest I wasnt expecting it to be a genuine type r knob for the fact that it was only $30. I noticed the item location was Japan, but when I tried tracking the item it came up with "Hong Kong Post" which made me think... Interestingly they went through all that trouble to seal it up in a clear plastic with genuine Honda stickers as well. Anyways, it feels quite solid and durable so hopefully it will last.

No doubt it will last, it is after all just a chunk of metal ;) At least you avoided the type R tax!

feels way better, even though I dont have coilovers I have still noticed a stiffening up of the rear. But I can't really go too hard as I saw my rear tyres are ggoooooonnnneee, the wire is sticking out and everything. At least it'll give me a chance to finally put on my bbs rs's...

i heard ek1 dont got as strong welds as a ek4 and ek 4 and em1 = VTIR

14mm i believe

im pretty sure its safe lol i think its only like a 15mm or 14mm no bigger then that but i heard its alright to run on an ek1 without any dramas but anything bigger then you would need to get a sub frame reinforcement brace eg,asr etc

i went for a good road test today and it seems fine the handling difference is amazing even for a stock bar,before i put the rear on i was only running a GLi 22mm front sway bar and that help heaps cause my car is a cxi= came with no front or rear swaybars lol and with the rear now it sits pretty flat in corners and takes them pretty good compare to having just a front sway bar.60 bucks well spend for the lot xD

scrubbed out the carpet underlay stuff stuck to the base of the car.. cleaned up that area a bit. cut out some paint dropsheets to sit at the bottom with a mat over them until i get the carpet re-done..

also got the locks fixed up yesterday

[Peppy]

I pulled out my boot, backseats and plastic moulding... stripped the thing from the the end of the boot to the beginning of the doors.
Tucked in all my sub and speaker cables and ran an earth cable to the sub (I swear there are some issues with my earthing situation).
Cleaned thouroughly because it was FILTHY (vacuum and then washing it).
Now to finish cleaning and put it back in....

Do you mean its hard to find a earthing point?
Or noise coming through speakers and so on.
PM my keen to help

[kyzz]

y u no earth back to battery?

[THE 2BSEEN]

y u no earth back to battery?

No need to brother all you need to is find a safe spot to put a srew or bolt and sand back some paint and bolt it to the car. using a ring terminal.
The other trick with stereo gear is to run the cables in different spots or you will get noise and problem
:cool:
shorter the earth wire the better

[kyzz]

eh, earthed mine back to the battery and all my wires are hidden and don't get any noise interference. amp is bolted to my back seat and wires put through the back of the seat, under carpet and up through the gap near glove box.

[1996_EK_Civic]

my amp is earthed behind the carpet in the boot, theres heaps of bolts there already

[THE 2BSEEN]

yeah if you get no noise, you cant complain.
the best way to run the wires are...
speaker wire together.
remote wire can go with the main power.
and rcas with them self.

the noises you can get are reving sound though your speakers or subs
they can be hell anoying.
if you enter sound comps they can pic up these noises which could cost you point
so if ya can do it. Do it
if not do ya best lol

Had to add a pic

Doesnt really fall under today.. but i bought my 97 ek4 last weekend as my first manual car..
Loving the sound of the b16 crossover.

1 Previous owner immaculate interior / exterior (Minus the expected small dings of a 15 year old car) full log book history and came with:
- Cold air intake
- Full header / catback exhaust 2.5" through (Loud as but remedied by buying a adjustable cannon silencer)
- King springs
- 17" Rims .. Which mind you are for sale as i think they are too big (oh and they scrub alot... --')
- Aftermarket Headunit / AMP / 6x9's
- Type R style grill

Plans:
- Front and rear lip (Bought and are being shipped)
- Better 16" rims
- Colour coding of mouldings / lip / grill
- Foglights
- Blacked out headlights
- Coilovers

hey dude.. i mean i can find a suitable earthing point for inside the boot of the ek hatch.. somewhere that is out of the way etcetc

[TranceZiggy]

Had my EK serviced & wheels aligned.

Planning on getting tail lights like 2BeSeen's next week, however.. I need opinions!

My EK is a dark green (I'm sure you've all seen it - fairly common Civic colour).

Should I go with the Black or Chrome housing?

I'm not a huge fan of the Chrome, but I'm worried the black will blend in too much with the dark green and look odd, or bland, even. Opinions?

in my opinion, ek9 tail lights would look the best on your car, but i don't think the dark altezza lights would look bad at all. i would go dark over chrome.

[Peppy]

hey dude.. i mean i can find a suitable earthing point for inside the boot of the ek hatch.. somewhere that is out of the way etcetc

Well, one of the best suggestions that I've heard is the bolt that holds your back seat down.
I've used one of the bolts that holds on my tail lights, and it's worked well enough.
Do you know how to disassemble your back end? (All plastic moulding, boot floor, spare tire and back seats)

*edit*

I just headed outside and had another look, and here are the other good spots I saw.
Where your spare tyre goes, there is a bracket that the long bolt you use to hold it in place goes.
There are pre-threaded holes that'll be solidly welded in place under the little plastic discs 300mm on each side of your boot latch. I believe these holes are intended for anchoring child seats to.

Hey man.. i appreciate you going out of your way to have a look.
ATM mine is bolted next to the boot latch. .thats what I was talking about.. but the position of the sub and the amp (amp is mounted ontop of sub)... makes the grounding cable from the latch to the sub look messy because its in the middle of the boot.. so ill have a peak at where the rear seats bolt in and bolt it to there as its probs a better place as its way more hidden

cheers!

Sounds good. You know how to pull out the upright parts of the back seat? It makes accessing that area a ton easier.

Btw, I'll be rebuilding my boot floor to house a full size alloy spare soon, and when I move my amp around again for that, I think I'll use those ones on the back of the car. Do you know the spots I'm talking about? They're not right next to the latch, but like I said, 30cm on each side. I'd take a photo, but I couldn't be bothered working out how to post images. ;)

Had my EK serviced & wheels aligned.

Planning on getting tail lights like 2BeSeen's next week, however.. I need opinions!

My EK is a dark green (I'm sure you've all seen it - fairly common Civic colour).

Should I go with the Black or Chrome housing?

I'm not a huge fan of the Chrome, but I'm worried the black will blend in too much with the dark green and look odd, or bland, even. Opinions?

Get ek9 tail lights

Just wondering where the best place to find the parts to do a facelift conversion would be? Just ebay the bumper, hood, quarter panels, lights... Do you have to change subframe?

[viinnh]

no need to change rad support

goto a wreaker yard and wreak a facelift ek

that way its all OEM. headlight bumper guards and bonnet

EDIT : and grill too !

Just wondering where the best place to find the parts to do a facelift conversion would be? Just ebay the bumper, hood, quarter panels, lights... Do you have to change subframe?

you don't need to change the rad support however, you'll need to modify it in order to fit the fl bumper on properly. you'll need to cut a little bit of the rad support (with an angle grinder or similar) in certain areas to fit the bumper on so that it aligns with the other panels. i think you'll also need to drill a couple of new holes on the rad support as the original holes will not line up with the holes on the fl bumper and you won't be able to screw it in properly. a little hard to explain but i hope this makes sense.

EDIT: alternative way is to probably cut the bumper instead of the rad support...but i think you will still need to drill new holes on the rad support.

fixed the wheel bearing issue, now the abs sensor decided to fall to pieces as i removed and installed the knuckle, fml.....

So now the cars with no abs, an must say feels much better for some reason hahahaha... kinda has more pedal feel to it when braking...

But on the hunt for abs sensor for right hand front, so if anyone has one, the line, socket, sensor itself, let me know asap... the abs light is annoying to look at

cut the abs wire off the cluster or put duct tape over it

Haha, yep, I finally managed to track them down from Idealseat Company - $149 for the pair delivered.


I thought they didn't make genuine. do they come in other colors?

Yep, genuine Recaros - they sent me the brochure and off memory I think there was black, blue and red... I'll try post up the pic when I find it or just email them...

Only thing is the velcro on the back of the head pad doesn't stick to the SR3 alcantara, but it's simply a matter of getting a black strap and velcro sticky thing from Spotlight, running it through the holes and should be all good to go.

The padding isn't huge in them, but see how they go - good thing is you can always unvelcro the head pads and add more padding inside if you need it.

Oh, should keep the gf happy too - she won't keep banging her head on the back of the seat anymore LOLZ :)

Performance vs Looks, so u choose lol....

Teins were made for stock shocks so they wont kill them, super lows, hit and miss with stock shocks... heard ppl blowing there stock shocks in a month of use with super lows and vice versa

IMO go for Teins, cause they are rated, personally driven cars with both, teins crap over kings...

[kyzz]

yeah thats true, and teins are most likely more durable anyway considering their reputation and compatability with stock. I'd be running oem shocks so i think i'm leaning toward s-techs

This is a bit misleading - King super lows drop an Ek around 50mm where the S-Techs drop the car only 30mm - obviously the lower spring will reduce the life of the standard shocks quicker. Kings do make just a "low" which works just fine

Edit: I don't know why i bother defending kings really - no one is interested in listening!

Nice, you got a good attitude, attention to detail, fixing little squeaks and knocks is a good idea, once there gone you feel alot better about the car, while you got the door trim off its a good idea to spray the rubber window rails with some silicone spray just incase they have dryed out on the inside, not only will your window function better but you will increase the life span of the power window motor (if they are power ) less strain..

Took my car for a drive toda noticed that my vtec would not engage, oil pres was fine had a good amount of oil in the motor, coolant was good, so the tps was gone, we tryed recalabrating it, so i bought a new one today and the car drives so smooth now :)

May I ask where you getting the tacho from? Need one for mine as well.

Got mine from eBay.

eBay seems to be the easiest place to find them. Found one EK at U-Pull-It that had its cluster removed already & none of the wreckers I contacted had any. If you need a manual cluster try the American eBay (eBay.com - not .com.au), all the clusters on the Australian eBay are auto.

Also trying to identify a sort of clunky rattle that seems to be coming from the rear left wheel/suspension when driving over bumps or pot holes. I may just be paranoid, because it's not loud & I can only hear it early in the morning on the way to work, when everything is quiet..

Or it may just be my left side skirt rattling, because the 'clip' that holds it near the back wheel is broken, so the skirt hangs a bit lower than the other one & can easily bounce up and down. Anyone recommend something to glue the clip back together? $50 super glue that can fuse a gorilla's hands together?

Hey mate check your rear camber arm on the side that is making the clunky sound.. (make sure its sitting correctly) have you changed them or taken them off for some reason ? and this is might sound silly but is your wheel on tight ? lol

Best thing to do is if you know when it started happening, try remember what you did maby new suspension lca's etc and go back over it more then 3 times to make sure everythings tight and sitting how it should.. it could be possible that something has come lose..

IMO i dont think the its the skirt unless its like badly hanging off the car lol ( if it is the skirt use industial grade double sided tape to hold it on, it WILL work and your not running the risk of snapping ur skirt off if you decide to paint it one day.. (if you use some sort of super glue.. )

good luck post up what it was when u find out :)

Well its up to you,what you think looks good

Majority here will say get a standard one with factory lip.
Have a look through this thread and see what grabs you then we can help you find the one you want

One advantage of standard ones is they are flexible plastic so they have some give in them if bumped

Yep, $2500 full outside respray. The guy is a mate of a mate but go see him and see what he can do. His called Phil.

But like always, at this price there will be small imperfections so I wouldnt recommend it if you're real OCD about a perfect paint job... but nonetheless, he can spray any colour. He did this car with 2 coats adhesive to bond the paint to the panel, then 3 coats of championship white and finished off with 2 coats clear

Here the finished product :D

just got the car back today

[mugen_ctr]

Still undecided if i should DIY Timing belt service..... Im keen on it, after watching and reading few DIY, but its the timing and aligning the belts/cams and crank thats the uncertain part lol.....

Definite a worthy DIY challenge no doubt... :D

In couple weeks will decide

And OH Rear LCA bushes shot, should i go extra mile an get aftermarket LCA or just replace the bush on oem lca?

[FAITHLESS]

You will need a chain wrench and new tensioner for the timing belt replacement. Aftermarket lca's aren't that expensive and it saves u the effort of replacing the bushing so It's a good excuse to buy some

but most aftermarket LCA bushes only last 6 months.

before you undo anything, just mark it and make sure it doesn't rub off.

Install it exactly the way it was before it came out.

well my took 2 weeks to get it done cause the guy who painted my car was working on other cars as well.............

but yeah it's up to u to organize you time...........

[90LAN]

did you do engine bay and door jams?

[drifter]

nope just the out side cause the car is already white .........

[jspec civic]

Got it done for 2.5k

Was that the cheapest?

[drifter]

Was that the cheapest?

yeap :D

[acurabot]

did you do engine bay and door jams?

You're looking at about $3000 to include door jams for 2doors. Engine bay can be done also but will cost more because of the work that needs to go into it. Well atleast thats what the painter said anyway...

[90LAN]
