[1996_EK_Civic]

ordered some Thule 950 roof racks! :D

[EK1.6LCIV]

rock on :), get the locks too at the same time for a deal

I sit on the floor now thanks to Vision

[Alvis]

drove it to the station thinking how did the B16B CTR engine not make a single mention in the latest Wheels "special atmo" edition with the B16B pumping out 83.4 kw/litre (134kw/1.6litres)

... especially when you consider the Porsche GT3 RS has a kw/litre of about 87... :confused:

[Alexx]

because gt3rs > ek9 haha

[mugen_ctr]

Unless the ek9 came with a roll cage like the GT3, than its got nothing on the GT3 LOL

Even thought the GT3 has crappy power to litre figure, it can actually move! lol, displacement ftw! 4 liter, boxer 6.... coupled with a mean chassis with roll cage.... ultimate track car :D

[Alvis]

I totally agree - I absolutely love Porsche's and GT3s :)

The thing that got me is that even though the EK9 didn't make it into the Top 10 atmo engines of all time list they compiled, it didn't even get a mention in the 'honorable mentions' section of the mag... bit disappointed to tell you the truth

... altho the NSX did make the Top 10 and NSX-R also got a mention ;)

[sangyz]

just installed itr chassis brace on my ek. waiting for asr brace and hard race rear camber kit to arrive some time today to install that along with ek9 sway bar :D! weeeeeeeeee :]

koyo rad, pink bits

how the heck did you break an ecu, Im curious

Was playing around, trying to get my Tunerveiw screen thing to work. Was plugging and un-plugging the screen in while the car was on. Possibly have wiped my ECU. Car is currently running in 'Limp' mode.... My engine tuner has the ECU now and is going to check it out for me on Monday. Hopefully it is an easy fix. But could possibly be completely wiped and will need to go back onto the dyno...... Find out on Monday I guess...

ooooh exciting. what wheels? I am assuming something with a decent offset, hence the rolled gaurds ;)

what length is your wind deflector?

[Red_EG4]

how do the roof racks mount to the car?

[tsol0811]

how do the roof racks mount to the car?

there's a hook which clamps and mounts onto the chassis door frame.

[EK1.6LCIV]

I have the shorter one, the one with four clip points would be more ideal

it uses the model specific feet, then the short roof extension bars with the kits universal front and rear bars and clips together in less than 15mins :) and locks in 6 places, awesome product :) use mine for my bike, going to bunnings for wood and other things :)

[tsol0811]

got a CF spoon wing for it

[EK1.6LCIV]

odd headers, ES shifter bushings, vtec gasket, samco hoses

[1996_EK_Civic]

how do the roof racks mount to the car?

yea as the others said, two clips per side go in the door frame and the rear just sits in the gutter

Nice! Looks neat as. Did you follow the DIY on here? It looks like it would only take like 20 minutes, but is heaps effective!

[kyzz]

yeah i did, took me 3 hours, 2 hours were trying to get my FINAL nut off! i ended up shredding it up. i suggest using an 8mm spanner and NOT shredding the nuts! right light came off a dream, all 3 on the left came off perfect but then that 1 in the corner behind the car frame gave me HUGE troubles; ended up getting it off with the hugging bit of a 8mm, god i was happy. Used a hole cutting piece for the drill, bulb casings fit PERFECT, held together with high adhesive tape and did all the wiring in about 20 minutes for both, dont tape/shrink the wires in place until you test the light and make sure brake wire is to the cars brake wire and the park is to cars park, left one i had to switch around, took 30 seconds then i just electrical taped it all up firmly, put the rubber casing back on, screwed it back in and there i have ek9 lights for free!

Sangyz,

You need pretty much every wiring from the ek9 to heater core to blower to get it working.

[Alvis]

weighed SR3 Recaros:

18.7kg (with EK9 rails/sliders) - 4.0kg (guesstimate for rails/sliders) = 14.7kg approximate weight

will compare to stock EK1 seats when I remove :)

[mugen_ctr]

it wouldnt be that much, stock seats were considerable heavier than stock dc2 vtir seats when i put those in, an sat 1 inch lower :D

[Alvis]

it wouldnt be that much, stock seats were considerable heavier than stock dc2 vtir seats when i put those in, an sat 1 inch lower :D

What wouldn't be that much? I just literally weighed them so unless my scales are out of whack for some reason I was 97kg holding SR3 seats & rails - my normal weight of 78.3kg = about 18.7kg :)


This thread also says something similar approx 20kg so much the muchness really:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?96309-Recaro-SR3-Weight


They say they weigh the same as stock, so will be interesting to see what weights I get when I take mine out

Why are roof racks and sun visors on Civics in fashion now? They're the daggy accessory your mum always had on her wagon, but never used. It just seems as if guys got bored of tacking spoilers and bars onto their cars, and needed something more to stick onto their rides instead? Or is it a backlash against the supposedly cool but entirely non-functional spoilers and kits, which are replaced with ugly but functional accessories? Do people really find these things to be aesthetically pleasing, or are they really just blindly following some trend from another country?

I really just don't understand what the thinking is behind putting these things on your cars. Unless you're a surfer.

[Temp3st]

Well said good sir, well said haha

[Alvis]

roofracks i can understand if you surf, ride a bike etc. Other than that tho... and what is it with mudflaps? Seriously, where do they think they're going to go with their 19 inch chrome rims and 4 inch lowered suspension... honestly.

Well said Indie.

[Alexx]

Mudflaps look great, they protect the side of your car if you are running more aggressive wheels than standard, and if you are serious in creating an 'OEM+' themed car they should definitely be on your list of things to do imo.

[Importsneezer]

X2, I prefer the clean oem look a set of mudflaps give. Rather than a rear lip.

[MRGRIM]

I spent 7K on bits n peices

BAHAHAHA not tellin on what its a project secret:zip:

People prefer different things, to you it might be ugly but not to others.
I like OEM visors because they make the car look clean and complete and i also like to wind down the windows abit when its raining.

And for Roof Racks i have no love for them and honestly think they look crap on hondas.

[BIGTYM]

I spent 7K on bits n peices

BAHAHAHA not tellin on what its a project secret:zip:

That sort of coin. Its either K-swap, Turbo or SC Conversion. Either way ill keep a look out for updates.

[BIGTYM]

Mudflaps look great, they protect the side of your car if you are running more aggressive wheels than standard, and if you are serious in creating an 'OEM+' themed car they should definitely be on your list of things to do imo.

Yes ill be hunting down a set of mudflaps pretty soon. I love the looks of them. Anyone know if you can run rear lip of EM1 plus OEM mudlfaps.

I looks like the that may be two different types of mud flaps. One for use with Side skirts and rear lip and the other one for use without.

[EK1.6LCIV]

the roof racks have been good for ikea trips, a few small wood projects (driveway mods lol), good for bringing the bike down or up the coast so I don't have to drive the car everywhere, going to get a kayak soon for river stints :)

new ek9 rear engine bracket
more cooling hoses
bolts
x3 1L bottles of MT
Honda coolant in 4L jug
wiper blade inserts
custom itr headers in s/s with nicely done tig welding throughout
took the car to honda for an inspection, modified the exhaust
new walbro fuel pump
stage two clutch kit and flywheel
x1 carton of cider

[Chriskoss]

Installed original OEM cupholder for my 96 gli hatch.. got it for 40 posted from US ebay. Genuine brand new in packaging honda part :)
Was a bit of a bitch to do as I rushed into it and didnt take a note where all the bolts go and how to get the housing back on. But figured it out in the end
I prefer this one with the click up lid rather than the other ones with no lid. This looks alot cleaner
Too bad it doesn't properly fit a 600ml bottle on the right, only 'just' on the left
Oh well no more coffee in the groin or sticky coke in my centre console

yeh there are two types for the civic hatch, and theyre different from others. 1st type is what I got, 2nd is the one i was talking about with no lid and comes complete with the top part where as my one was just the bottom part and you just bolt the top part back on
very happy with it as its brand new and same colour and all. Got the armrest with compartment too so I'm decked out with oem goodies :)

Please don't. Mudflap on EK/em1's = ugly imo, but thats just me :/


People prefer different things, to you it might be ugly but not to others.

Theres only one set of mud flaps lol, just that one is painted the other isnt..... If u got a rear lip, the mud flaps wont fit, as the bolts that hold it will be used up with conjunction to the lip, and the flap isnt designed around the lip :)

[EK1.6LCIV]

learnt that old ek heater hoses are stuck on rather well, also that I love RACQ at 11pm to lend a hand :)

anyone buy hasport driveshafts?

[SuperJDM.]

I personally like that ride height. Love the little gap between guard and wheel. Wheels under guards to me look unko. Headlights look sweet clean :D Nice work.

[EK1.6LCIV]

awesome stance :) ^^^^

Thanks for the feedback :) the height is perfect and still scrapes everywhere it's lower in person I guess

And ek1 I still have those blox LCA installed .) they somehow add more camber (I'm sure they did the trick) lol

Honda plans to pump out three sports cars in the next three years, despite the crippling impact of the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

Sports cars are finally back in favour at Honda.

A new NSX is in the works, a roadgoing version of the V8-powered HSV-010 is promised, there is talk of a hotter CR-Z hybrid, and now comes news of an Acura RSX that could revive the following of the Honda Integra coupe in Australia.

An Accord Euro-sized sports coupe - perhaps a revival of the Prelude - is also in the works. Honda definitely has plans to pump out three sports cars in the next three years, despite the crippling impact of Japan's killer earthquake and tsunami.

There will be some delays, but Japanese sources say the go-faster cars have survived. In the past few weeks there has even been talking about a high- performance coupe powered by a 3.5-litre V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, a concept mentioned by Honda's president, Mr Ito.

The project that really focuses Honda's e fforts is the planned rebirth of the Acura RSX, shown in an exclusive Carsguide illustration.

http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/Post%20Misc%20Honda%20Images/honda-integra-concept-w.jpg

American sources says the RSX will inherit the 2.4-litre, 150-kiloWatt four cylinder engine coming in the ninth-generation Civic. It will also have a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential to feed power to the front wheels.

Honda says the fuel economy in the new engine is improved by 13 per cent with lower CO2 emissions, but that's the story for the Civic, not the RSX. It is expected to take its lead from the current Civic Type R on details such as its interior, as well as the wedge shape, sports suspension and oversized alloy wheels.

http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/Post%20Misc%20Honda%20Images/honda-accord-coupe-w.jpg
Photo: 2007 Honda Accord Coupe concept


Apart from the RSX, Honda sources hint about a "more reasonably priced" sports car concept for the Accord Euro class. This car, which might be like a born-again Prelude, is in strong demand with American dealers and will incorporate Accord hardware.

While the other cars are moving ahead, Honda is also evaluating a success or to the Beat. The original Beat in 1991 was an open-top two-door, mid-engined 660cc minicar with an engine good for 8500 revs, and the next generation promises a new interpretation of that concept with a 1.3 to 1.5-litre petrol engine.

i've been thinking about taking off my cxi sticker, and arent the H and the CIVIC bolted in?

they have holes once u take off the badge, so dont take it off, unless u have another badge lined up or plan to bog an paint it up

[SuperJDM.]

since your gonna geat a EK9 rear lip i think a type r badge will look nice on the rear

[kyzz]

yeah type r would look good considering i already modded my lights ek9 style aswell haha, may aswell replace cxi with an adhesive stick on one from ebay or something, jdm is like $100!

[rubixcube]

edit: nothin to see here.

Couldn't have said it better myself. An 'Si' badge would probably do you more justice if you don't want people to see a CXi badge :) (even though I think at this time Honda only made the Si in coupe and sedan versions although don't quote me on that...)

[mugen_ctr]

the standard SI or EK4 lip FTW! any other looks to chunky, which reminds me, i gotta respray my lip for the 4th time LOL

yep, keep it oem if you can for lips - sometimes can really make or break the looks of the car IMO. An EK9 front lip would also work well :)

[kyzz]

alvis your front lip is ek9 isnt it?

[Alvis]

yep EK9

[kyzz]

looks good man, only thing stopping me from getting it is the speedhumps in my driveway and the dip at the entrance of it..

[Alvis]

yeh that's why I wouldn't lower mine too much - it's only a 0.8 inch drop with my springs but you still can tell it's lowered - but very practical and haven't hit it yet (almost did yesterday I reckon tho coming out of hotel in Sydney ekk... lucky I took the angle lol) :)

[kyzz]

yeah not too keen on lowering it too much, my brother lowered his 96 ek1 when he had it about 2.5", he absolutely smashed the shit out of ek9 front bar and genuine mugen rear bumper he had.. shame that it got written off by my sister hahaha it had some nice mods, i might drop mine an inch or so sooner or later, i'll probably have to roll the guards considering i'm sitting on 17s as of tomorrow..

No need to roll ur guards man, unless ur running hectic offsets like +30 or even +25 or running wide rims, or combo of both, than id just keep that money for petrol or for a rainy day :)

that's a shame, sounded like some nice genuine mods to that car :(

not worth it getting it too low if not practical depending where you drive or get adjustable I guess (I still think adjustable coilovers are overkill purely for a street car, but that's just my opinion) - depends on your application (street/track) how much you want to spend and what kind of ride comfort you want - don't want to spend all that money and make the ride crap that your dash rattles everywhere

Oh gee - looks like it had the full Mugen kit - wow. Never ever seen one of them around Oz before and even 'Spoon' number plate and spoiler I'm guessing... wish people would do more of those mods in Oz but guess it's not like the US with parts just being so damn expensive here.

It can definitely work with lips/spoilers :) I mean I've done that to my car with Si badges and I've tried to give it the respect the badge and the brand deserves.

I guess what he might have been saying was a stock Honda with a CTR badge doesn't really do justice to the brand 'Type R'

[SuperJDM.]

genuine has nothing to do with this.
reason why i said he could put it on was for the looks not to try and claim that its a EK9.....

Also kyzz you have the facelift Civic you wont be able to fit the same front lip as Alvis.
I dont think the lips for the facelift models are as low

[kyzz]

yeah i know i cant fit the preface, dont think i will put a front lip on anyways

agreed........... AND i think i speak for all those whos opinion are that non type-R honda's shouldnt wear a type R, theres a reason why its called a type R from the factory, its not the motor, nor the suspension, nor the badge itself, its the whole package, everything from the stiffened chassis to the interior, is what makes it what it is, and i highly appreciate what a real type-R is :)

[DNYALL]

putting a typeR badge on a non-typeR hatchback is like putting a chevy badge on your ss commodore, putting a typeR badge on a coupe is like putting a chevy badge on your V6 commodore.

Lame and super lame.

[SuperJDM.]

are we talking about just the Type R H badge now or the actual Type R badge.

i honestly dont think its as bad as putting a chevy badge on a holden as the badge is still a honda badge rather than putting a random badge on your holden

[kyzz]

Again I'll refer you to Sangys EK1,

He went to the trouble of doing all OEM, B18C engine swap, EK9 Bonnet, EK9 Front Bar, EK9 Front Grille, EK9 Headlights, EK9 Taillights, EK9 Rear Bar, EK9 front and rear lips, EK9 5-lug Conversion, EK9 Rims, More recently rear swaybar.

Basically it is a full EK9 only difference is it started life as an EK1. If that doesn't deserve to wear the red badge, nothing does!!!!

He earned his red badge, just like I plan to earn my Si badges.

[mugen_ctr]

yeah i thought we were talking about red H badge ahha

theres only one red badge, that symbolizes honda racing/sports car, lol......... ok we all went off a tangent, back on topic...... took it for a drive just before, man the cold weather just makes the car that much better :D

[kyzz]

haha yeah back on topic:

moved the car from the front to the back, loaded my new wheels in the back, drove it back down the front and now its ready for my bro to take it to goodyear tomorrow and get them on and balanced whilst im at schoool. GEEEEEEEEEED

Putting a red H badge on your car make you look stupid. Unless your car is compatible to a type r. As in performance/looks etc. Clearly you did earn it

[tsol0811]

who cares, peoples tastes are diffrent its like saying roof racks or no roof racks, hellaflush or fuctional.

its a free world.

you can always lol on the inside if it looks funny to you or towards the "so called ricers"

ok now post what you did!

Fixed up roof racks + gave her a nice wash in the cold wind

But then again were not talking about the Type R sticker just the H.

Anyways im over that part.

Got OEM visors in a couple of days ago

[sangyz]

i can back up my badge though :p

[SuperJDM.]

not according to some people sang "if its not from the factory then it shouldn't have that badge"

[sangyz]

[[daan]]

Again I'll refer you to Sangys EK1,

He went to the trouble of doing all OEM, B18C engine swap, EK9 Bonnet, EK9 Front Bar, EK9 Front Grille, EK9 Headlights, EK9 Taillights, EK9 Rear Bar, EK9 front and rear lips, EK9 5-lug Conversion, EK9 Rims, More recently rear swaybar.

Basically it is a full EK9 only difference is it started life as an EK1. If that doesn't deserve to wear the red badge, nothing does!!!!

He earned his red badge, just like I plan to earn my Si badges.

Agreed. If you do put it on like Sangys - you have to earn it and do justice to the brand :thumbsup:


Put my favourite red towel (superstition) over my drivers side SR3 where my back side sits :) (passenger side gets a black one lol)

What's the timeline on how often these should be changed?

Always use V Power and octane booster every 4 fills.

V-power is fine man, but stick to the one brand from now on, each brand, such as BP may have different blend of fuels, but still equate to 98 octane, which when blended with others, may not be the best idea, fuels ain fuels ;)

I find V-power isnt as great, get less mileage from a full tank of fuel

For me, BP is the only readily available fuel so BP 98 all the way :D

haha just like tony, he hates v power. Before my last refill @ shell i refilled @ BP Ultimate twice hope its alright.
Might stick to shell though makes my pop pop sound louder
