***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[mocchi]

yeah a diy would be great information

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/customavatars/avatar39924_8.gif

[mattsrea]

picked up ek4 rear sway bar, oem ek foglight wires and oem ek foglight switch yesterday for $20 :)
Going to put the oem foglights back on in the coming weeks

[kera_1]

I unregistered my EK4 :(

[EKVTIR-T]

I unregistered my EK4 :(what colour? is it mint?

a clean good colour ek4 would pull a premium if you decided to sell it

[IEVAQ8]

I unregistered my EK4 :(

y would U unregister it???

[kera_1]

-_- Tried to sell it.... No luck, Its pretty MINT... Black EK4 Clean interior.... too bad I cant Sell on OZhonda... I don't post much and I don't BS too often enough to get REP for it. :p

So I thought I'd unregister it, Try and recondition the car even more when I have some spare cash. Then try to sell it for a higher price.

Too much low baller and tyre kickers... its no funny. (Sorry mods trying to stay on topic)

[EKVTIR-T]

yeah I looked at your past posts and saw its black

looks very glossy,is it resprayed?

noticed you have promax sticker,good guys there

[kera_1]

Nah Man.... not resprayed its just kept well... Don't know why ppl just dont believe u can keep a clean car... :'(
Even the Quarter panels bolts are still in place...

Been a while since I contributed to this thread - order on the way from US for new OEM EM1 rear sway bar, end links, brackets, bolts etc

[Honda]

Been a while since I contributed to this thread - order on the way from US for new OEM EM1 rear sway bar, end links, brackets, bolts etc

How much did you get it for and where?

[Alvis]

How much did you get it for and where?

According to Honda in Wollongong (don't know if anyone else can confirm), but parts are no longer available for the EK4/EM1 rsb except the self-locking nuts, everything else came up on the computer as no longer available when searching the Australian parts database. And the US prices on this site are up to 5 times cheaper, compared to what Honda would charge you, if they could get the parts.

For example, Honda gave me a trade price of $153 EACH for the end links (normal retail is $276), while on this site they are less than $50 each. Massive difference.

For complete rsb setup, including the bar it was $AU220. With delivery to Australia it's a total cost of about $300 delivered to my door. And it's all OEM/ brand new, not 15 years old.

I set up a US shipping address at MyUS.com, which cost a one-off fee of $10.

Hopefully it should give my car a closer to neutral setup combined with the 22mm fsb...

[PHO]

Lmzo. A sway bar has not much difference in integrity used vs new. The endlinks/bushes/brackets yes. But the sway bar is just a bar.

As long as the bar hasn't gone past its elastic limit (which it shouldn't on a car), it'll be the same as a bnib bar.

no offense but you could have got 2nd hand ek9 22mm rsb for around that with decent endlinks and bushes, maybe even less

for roughly 400 total you could have got a subframe reinforcement too

could also upgrade fsb to a 26mm from ek4/em1/ek9 too for not much..

[charliebrown]

size doesnt matter. you better learn that

[mattsrea]

I picked up my ek4 16mm rear sway bar + unknown condition endlinks for $20 :D


btw noob question ctx or PHO: how do you tell if the endlinks are gone besides from hearing noises after its on the car.

[PHO]

Check for play in the endlinks. Move the bolt around (the stud that sticks out of the rubber) Its allowed to pivot but if you can move it in and out, side to side. Its gone, Shouldn't have any play, should only pivot.

Alright thanks man will have a look tomorrow.

[Alvis]

All good ctx, I know that, but it's not the feel I'm going for in the car, just after a bit more of a neutral setup without going over the top.

If it was a b series, maybe different story, but I think 13mm rsb is more than enough for a d16

Just hoping it clears the exhaust piping!

[grifty]

Hondapartsdirect.com Still ship to Australia so you wont need a shipping forwarding service.

It wasn't too bad, will definitely need a new bar though and the rear lip was smashed off.

On a positive note, the rest of the car is looking redder than ever. I used this turtle wax stuff, that has a red tint.

do you use a rotary buffer to work that? or by hand? i have some 'marks' in the car i need to get out but not sure how

[Super-DA9]

That coloured polish fades, it looks good initially but worse later in my experience with it.

Carayan, if you have small marks on the car it is better to buff them out properly than to use this stuff.

it looks like something has been scraped across the surface of the paint, leaving a mark behind but in several different places. would clay barring make a difference?

Nah bro. he wants to space out his wheel by 2mm by having the screws sticking out a bit.

[MYEK9]

what front pad did you get?

the rear is rda isnt it?


also the slots facing wrong way

the front rotors are rda ebc slotted's with bendix brake pads
The rear rotors and rda ebc and the pad's are RDA max gp pads, did not want to go all out on the expensive rear pads,

and we looked at the instructions that came with the rotors they are correct, a friend had also said the same thing.

im confused in regards to what is correct :

veri naice,
how much did the whole kit cost you ?

[Alvis]

Thanks mate, it was $220 for the kit plus delivery to Australia, so about $270 all up.

Of course people will say you could have got other aftermarket kits with a bigger sway bar for the same price etc etc, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a neutral feel for the car, OEM part quality etc so it's perfect for what I wanted and is more than enough for a D16Y4 :-)

I took it through some nice S bend corners on an initial test drive and the rsb makes an incredible difference - almost scared myself lol - I already had a front tower bar and spoon progressive springs on the car (with oem dampers) and it's gotten rid of the vagueness I used to get at the front end, being much more direct when pointing it in the corners with no over or under steer - just that nice neutral feel/ balance.

However, I'm not sure how it would stack up against you guys with the D16Y4 hatches/ coupes with it being a sedan... some Koni Yellows would be next on the list, but a recent Pedders report told me the existing dampers (just on 85,000kms) were still perfectly fine...

However, I'm not sure how it would stack up against you guys with the D16Y4 hatches/ coupes with it being a sedan... some Koni Yellows would be next on the list, but a recent Pedders report told me the existing dampers (just on 85,000kms) were still perfectly fine...

Nice plan, i picked up my complete oem ek4/em1 rear sway bar + endlinks and d brackets for $20 :D

Nice work, a good price you got there :-) but I found it so hard to find second hand kits with everything when you want one these days - I found a used bar but I still needed everything else so was no point; I said stuff it I'm going to buy it all new and have total peace of mind.

Putting it into perspective I rang Honda and they wanted over $700 for the whole kit - and that's at trade price (ridiculous I know)! So to me $220 + delivery is a bargain for new OEM Honda parts :-)

nice clean and simple. going to get some panel/paint work done soon also, but for what i paid for this car, it pretty darn straight and clean

what i did in the last 2 days
replaced timing belt,water pump,tensioner and seals
valve's adjusted and timing done
installed FIPK intake
Installed OEM SiR lip
installed hardrace torque mounts,rear trailing arm bush,front swaybar bush
EK9 rear swaybar and ASR brace
K tuned shifter (had to remove cause it was missing spacer and bolt)not bad for 2 days non stop DIY work. i'm bloody proud

Might be the camera angle but it looks a lot sharper too.

Good work mun

[mattsrea]

Hahaha it's not an actual city mang, I'm more predictable then that.

Feeling your kidneys aye? Why not sell them to a stance kid and run some more meat?

205/50 fills the EK guards perfectly, unfortunately I'm running 195/55's, just not the same.

ahahaha chyeah I want 205/50s but fcuk! Their so pricey especially Ku31s! But yeah I'll take some better shots this weekend.

Nah bro running 185/55 which is kinda really small. Apparently the guy i bought it from was like when he imported it the tyres came with it so he didn't bother changing it. I'll change to 205s when these are worn out. Gotta make the most out of it LOL. And hows the scrubbing issue going with the 15x8s? And far 225/45s? on the P1s?

[EKVTIR-T]

185 cannot handle weetec power,need at least 205 for stick on road

[Spoon-Accord]

Google international tyre trader

40 bux postage for 4 tyres

I was so tempted to get the toyo 888's for hillclimb events and track, but chickened out and gave the kumho's a try

Mate had these on his ek gli, only had ek9 swaybars,cusco coilovers and these tyres and did very well during our enclosed downhill touge run, even gave my old ek9 a scare

[Spoon-Accord]

Kenny you've come a long way from back when we were obsessed with the old school life.

If the pictures are anything to go by, you did such a good deed letting the 9 go.

Go hard mate.

Matt, eeerrrytime I look for wheels for my other civic on gumtree your? J-speeds come up. A sign perhaps?

Thanks bud much appreciated

EK9 was a good car, don't get me wrong, it really lived up to the hype (towards the end before I sold it)
Best thing I done to it was actually getting the car corner weighted and getting the suspension leveled out, it really handles like its on rails now.

But with that car, I couldn't do anything, if I did something to it, I'd get criticised for ruining such car.

So, sold the 9, paid 3k for ek4 (for the price I paid? I've probably spent more fixing it/parts/mods then the car itself)
Also, I can do so much more, it's like having an empty plate at a buffet, fill it up with food and go hard
As with the ek9, plate was already full and adding anything else to the car was like adding soy sauce on spaghetti

r u goin to boost da ek4

currently going over my options atm

k-swap is off the list (no A/C, there is but it is a big hassle)
Turbo the b16a (would be good for straight line, but i'm not sure if the block would take that kinda punishment on track)
B18cR(this is at the top of my list atm)
B20 conversion (if i can't find a descent b18cr then i'll get the b20 and stuff the block with goodies)

i'll be doing everything myself, so i'm saving alot of $$$$

i'm going to be entering Auto-x and hill climbs too, so my focus is handling and a little more torque/usable power)

I've just replaced the old thermostat,was so knacked it didnt even move
avid tuner mounts (62a) car rattle like a snake now
hard-race torque mounts
k tuned shifter with spoon aluminium knob
Removed intake manifold and throttle body, cleaned and polished the throttle plate
De-carb'd the engine (so much smoke,neighbours thought my house was on fire)
inner and outta tie-rods
steering rack adjustment (best mod/fix i've done ever in my entire life)


car goes really good now,engine doesn't lag like it did when i got her, engine mounts previously were knackered too (every single one was broken)

epic start to the journey,hope she does well in the upcoming months/years
I'm having more fun with this car then the EK9, with the EK4 I have to start from nothing,adding all the bits and pieces is bloody fun and satifying. But with the EK9, it was already done from factory,doesn't need any mods/parts. Reason why i sold white pearl, just got boring as there wasn't 1 thing i could do to it.

thanks for reading and comments fellas,you've been my inspiration to stay in the game(after all these years) and continue to hone/sharpen my skills

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

[mugen_ctr]

Boost it kenny, a b16 can safely make 160kw, 180kw on a more aggressive tune and 200kw on E85 all on stock sleeve and block easy, if u knw what parts to find u can usually make ur own setup for under 3k easy! or better yet source a 2nd kit for 2.5k and slap it on, and u b spanking those b18cr swapped ek all day long lol

and as far as track, dont worry about the block, as long as u have a air-to-air oil cooler and bigger radiator fitted u shouldnt have any prbs on track with a boosted setup, all comes down to how well u setup ur cooling system for ur car

[stndrd]

200kw with E85? I think you mean with 98 Barry :P

Kenny you are best of doing an LS/VTEC for good torque but still being able to rev the **** off it

[Spoon-Accord]

I've got cast manifold, dump and wastegate/dump here atm
Also got some RC550 injectors too

Need a t3/t4 turbo, Garrett 50 trim?(.63)
Need cooler pipes and hondata s300 to finish it

I'm looking at about 200-210 kW atw, possible on 98 pump fuel?
And would sleeping performance be able to tune it
