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

[AndreaCivic]

did some cleaning on the weekend. clay bar'd the outside with mother california clay bar system. really good. there are still loads of contaminants on my paint though because it is an old car. then polished with turtle wax ICE liquid polish. will post up pics if i can remember to. Also drained and replaced gearbox oil. gearbox feels great now, shifting is very light.

you dropped your orange juice!

you dropped your orange juice!

did that because his trying to show how low car is :p lolsss

[AndreaCivic]

The juice was the main subject, a stoopid red car got in the way!
Lol
Ps What you guys reckon, should I roll my guards f&r? Got some brand new skunk2 coils to go in v soon. Pretty sure the fender lining in the front is going to scrub, not sure about the rear..

[genkitofu]

rolled my rear guards ghetto diy style =D

[mugen_ctr]

Rears defs need rolling, fronts no, but the guard lining will rub like a bitch, so two choices really, either cut up the guards lining or remove it out of the way.

how much u need to roll depends on size an offset of rims, as well neg camber. Imo, ur gonna spend 1.5k on coilovers, might as well get camber kit as well, that way u can dial in what ever sus settings u want at the wheel shop

how much, where do i find it

I'm thinking maybe I should just throw the lining away. I've read mixed opinions on it though. Would be great to see a DIY.

I don't think a camber kit will be completely necessary as far as guard clearance is concerned because I'll gain a little bit of neg camber from lowering anyway. I'm concerned though I may need one to reduce negative camber for a more even tyre wear? Correct me if I'm wrong or maybe advise on this if you can..

My coils only cost around $750 as I bought them with the Enkei rpf1 (15x7 +35). They are just skunk2 pro-s II.

I'm already going way over budget as I'm planning on having all new bushings installed and the car corner weighted. Now if I have to get guards rolled there's another cost.

Wouldn't trust myself in this lol

Depends how much u drop the car really, but imo, but ideally u want the toe at zero at the rear and a lil bit of camber like -1 or so should be fine for daily. Its toe that mainly kills tires on ek, not so much camber.

The more low u go, the more neg camber ur gonna get, so its best to get camber kit if u want an ideal daily setup

[AndreaCivic]

Wicked, thanks for the advice. Will check back here when the work is done :)

Yeah I got a quote from a couple smash repairers, anywhere from 4-7 :/
Don't suppose you would know how much I could expect to pay for just the front and rear bumpers, boot and bonnet in original colour? Thats all that actually needs to be done on my car - the colour change is kind of just a dream that I know I can't afford lol.

[chauster]

Pm sent. I don't wanna advertise here

ARound 300 per bar. Bonnet and boot about 200-300 each. Ask your workshop could work a deal for you

I think a normal polish would work better as it's a clear coat, not bare metal.

I'm no expert though and I welcome others to correct me.

Input shaft bearing making or clutch bearing making heck of a noise now, whines too much, somethings gotta give soon >_<

farrrkkkk cars costing me too much now :(

[mugen_ctr]

Big question is now, do i try to attempt to fix it DIY an only pay for the small parts, replacing the input shaft beariing unit, meaning takin out the gb and tearing it down.... or do i just buy a whole new 2nd hand gb?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

cost is a major factor which is why im considering fixing it myself in an attempt to not use any money besides buying the replacement part

You need time, you need a second car to get from A to B.

Nothing wrong with DIY, just 1st time always takes longer, and so it should. Wanna be as careful as possible.

what does qualified mean? a qualified mechanic would look at service manual, some might even dont.
as long as you got service manual, doesnt matter if youre qualified or not.

'qualified' is rather overrated and misleading sometimes.

[na-118]

qualified isn't over rated, it's the extra skills we learn day by day,,

so if you build a race motor, all you need is a service manual to build the race motor?

and we're not talking about building a race motor, we're talking about replacing an isb.

never used eucalyptus oil for that purpose, but eucalyptus oil is very good gentle cleaner....

say sticky stuff on leather, watch bands,, anything where finesse is needed and not brute force.

half way into my rebuild... 6 hours later that is hahahahaha.... new clutch is in :D

Just waiting on the new isb for the new gb for i to really get knuckled down into replacing the old with the new... should be interesting :)

On a side note, the isb does infact make a noticeable noise when hand rotating it so its definite a sign its on its last leg

out with the old...

nice work mate! What brand clutch did you buy and how many k's did you get out of the old one?

[mugen_ctr]

nice work mate! What brand clutch did you buy and how many k's did you get out of the old one?

its a xtreme hd clutch, was gonna opt for exedy, but was more expensive....

total kms so far was around 170,000kms, but the surprising thing was that the clutch had heaps of meat on it, but the pressure plate was worn.... id say if the pressure plate was still good, i can get maybe another 30,000kms or so......

Its do-able for most who have an itch for mechanical diy, but definate takes time doin it :)

[Alvis]

170,000kms on the original clutch!? Wow, that is impressive... good on you for having a go at the DIY and hope you're happy with it.

Oh, found out last night someone smacked my rear wheel arch - not sure when it happened, probably Monday at shopping car park - was SO pissed but lucky I got the marks off with polish.

When will people f*kn learn how to drive trolleys in carparks

Peace

[na-118]

any major improvements you felt after installing these bushes on your suspension?

no exaggeration is required for eg: front strut bar improved suspension/ handling performance straight away LOL

[AndreaCivic]

Well i had the bushings and suspension installed at the same time. It's bloody stiff, improvements are huge. Brake performance feels great on stock brakes. Car doesn't nose dive and feels way more solid. I get a subtle feeling like you can take corners a few kms faster with more confidence. After a more spirited drive on some good roads on a dry day I will give another summary.
Peace

[na-118]

thanks man,, should be sweet good combo with your coilovers, maybe front and rear sway bars will definately make a top notch combo!

Thanks Snappy, to tell you the truth I just used an old wet singlet and polish to shine up the painted areas, airbox and then just used what was left on the rag around the engine bay - should probably use wd-40 next time... and just Autosol metal polish for bar and manifold cover :)

[IEVAQ8]

i just finished bleeding my brakes.............fuk its a pain when everything is new and has been sitting around with heaps of air in the lines....lol

at least the main bleed is done, once its driving again i will re bleed.....

my custom brake set-up if anyone is interested consists of:

jdm itr 96 spec hub, trailing arm & brake upgrade front & rear 4x114.3
282mm prelude discs front 4x114.3
HRV calipers front
ek9 HEL braided brake lines

some pics maybe tomorrow

[rubixcube]

what are the caliper numbers for 96 spec dc2r rear brakes do you know off hand?

[kyzz]

262mm if your talking about brakes..

56mm piston

[rubixcube]

Ok so what's necessary to fit them to an EK? Do you *have* to do a hub swap to 4x114.3 ITR hubs? What about front? I really just want bigger rotors... mine are so tiny...

[mocchi]

Ok so what's necessary to fit them to an EK? Do you *have* to do a hub swap to 4x114.3 ITR hubs? What about front? I really just want bigger rotors... mine are so tiny...

get ek1 gli calipers/rotors. should bolt on to your cxi if you have cxi.
ek1 gli is 262 as well afaik. an ek1 gli my friend has 262mm stock from factory.
25th yr annoversary one if that would make any difference.

[IEVAQ8]

I bought & am using vtir integra rear pads...if that helps...
I also have the stock jdm itr 96spec front calipers if ur interested with the discs that u could just re-drill to 4x100

[kyzz]

you're looking at a brake conversion so yeah hub swap, new rims (or you could get your ones re-gauged) i think fron'ts and backs are the same on the ITRs, should be easy enough if you know what you're doing. need disk, calipers, hub, piston and 4x114.3 rims off the top of my head

[rubixcube]

I've got multi fit 4x100/4x114.3 rims so that's not an issue. So what's the difference in calipers between the EK and ITR? Just bigger pistons in the ITR? I feel like a bit of a noob lol but honestly there are so many brake swap setups.. honda certainly do a great job with making everything interchangeable. I'm competent mechanically, just working out exactly what the right parts are is important to me obviously, don't want to be getting things that don't bolt straight on!

edit: waaaiitt a minute... did a google search.. is the rear 96 spec calipers 7CLP13S? I already have these... I thought they'd be different - are the rotors on the 96ITR just bigger in the rear or something?
double edit: and these are the fronts? this guy did it easy as hell by just milling the bracket front ITR swap (http://www.lukekailburn.com/brakes.html)

I swapped over from a EK4 brake assy to ITR 96spec brake assy. The front ITR brake pistons were slightly larger than the EK4. I'm not sure about the rear's though cos I never compared them.

If your not sure about fitting... the best bet is to buy the whole brake/hub assy and swapping over from your current setup
VTIR/EK9/JDM ITR 96spec/AUDM ITR = 32mm outer driveshaft sizes
JDM ITR 98spec = 36mm outer driveshaft size

If your not sure about fitting... the best bet is to buy the whole brake/hub assy and swapping over from your current setupe
VTIR/EK9/ITR 96spec = 32mm outer driveshaft sizes
ITR 98spec = 36mm outer driveshaft size

Very nice!!!! how does the braking feel? more confident now? lol

Very nice!!!! how does the braking feel? more confident now? lol

Yeh awesome man.. almost feels like I have 4pots at the front.. lol
Unfortunately not a huge difference but I guess anything counts:confused:

[AndreaCivic]

Isn't 98 spec AUDM itr drive shafts same as ek4?
Only JDM 98 spec itr drive shafts were the larger size if I'm not mistaken.

[sangyz]

Yeah only the JDM 98 spec is 36mm. AUDM is still 32mm

Aight guys got some bad news... already posted in the DIY hardrace camber kit thread but this is kind of urgent so hopefully I can get an answer either here or there. anyway, I went to install my hardrace rear camber kit. Right hand side was easy, bolts came out with no problems at all. LEFT hand side however, both bolts connecting to the frame were so seized it's not funny. Tried WD40, some other penetrating fluid, big breaker bar - nothing worked. One of them the head is nearly stripped, and I can't get it out. The other one is even worse - I thought I'd gotten it because it made the lovely 'broken the seal' noise - but it's actually just spinning endlessly in the hole and won't come out. Umm... help? :(

yer i been raeding my thread and seeing this.. okay well u need go out and get urself these rachet/braker bar sockets, what they have is little teeth inside them which lock on the bolt, and allow you to undo them no matter how bad the damage is, if u got a sydney tools near u then they got em and there also a great help, but just chill out, cos freaking out about it only make things worse trust me lol let me know how u go :)

[Alvis]

Got some time off work for holidays so got a few jobs done:

* installed new Top Gun ignition leads
* vacuumed interior, seats and cleaned plastics
* topped up coolant
* removed mugen sticker from boot lid
* sanded off rust and repainted number plate bracket + shined screws
* cleaned out air filter and intake piping:

This is what it looked like when the filter came out. This is industrial air conditioning filter material I put over the top of the pod with Yamaha foam filter oil (from my dad's old bike lol - sticky as sh*t it is!).

The white stuff is washing powder - got a bit on there before took photos. Opps.

http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/My%20Civic/DSC01461edit.jpg


Original pod filter still looks brand new underneath:
http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/My%20Civic/DSC01462edit.jpg


Found little pebbles at bottom of intake:
http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/My%20Civic/DSC01467edit.jpg


Oiled it up, strapped it down, and now I have a big blue fairy floss under the mugen lid :)
http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579/apalmucci/My%20Civic/DSC01463edit.jpg

[senna]

Why do you run the fairy floss over the filter? Filter on filter seems like a restriction to me?

[Alvis]

Bit of an experiment really + bit of because I didn't have k&n oil and wasn't sure with using what I had on the k&n filter - but going by the results it filters brilliantly!

[senna]

Ah ok, are you going to try it back to back with and without? No doubt it filters well, but is it causing a restriction?

:thumbsup: for trying something different though!

+rep

[Alvis]

yeh I mean I guess the more filters you add the more you're trying to stop the air, so yes, I'd say there most likely is some added restriction.

thanks for the rep :D

[Alvis]

And a couple of more jobs this afternoon - been a very productive day! :D

* Cleaned up OEM springs and put them in their home (ready for someone to buy!)

[kyzz]

gunna take off front bar tomorrow, reallign panels and heat gun the bumper, see if i can get it somewhat back in place.. hope chassis isn't deformed.

long story but will explain for my brotatoes

last night (around 8o'clock) went to my cousins christmas party in kirribilli - an hour from where i live, we got lost and ended up going back and forth from north syd to city about 3 times, i was stressed out of my mind coz i had a full car and my sister was backseat driving which made things worst.. was trying to find the house in the backstreets of kirribilli where i didnt know, was quiet, and i was stopped on a speed hump looking for the house, car came up behind me and there and was stressing out as there was no where to pull into for it to pass like i was getting yelled at to do haha, so i took a turn to the right, where i didn't notice a median strip with a short arrow sign on it was randomly in the middle of the road; it was blocked out by my mirror and front right column..

there was like no street lights and after i hit it this old knt came out of his house and wouldnt stop staring at his car, i told him to take a fking photo if he wants to have a good stare.. fking phaggot just made me even more mad considering i had my first ding

just glad no one got hurt

not entirely my fault, but its not entirely anyone elses. just stress + unknown backstreets and unsuspecting median strips.. feltbadman.jpeg

inb4tldr

opened the hood to have a look what's going on, no radiator or internal damages, temperature stays normal and car is fine, if i can't fix it myself i'll just buy an ej8 bar

[rubixcube]

Well this isn't so much what have I done to my ek *today* more like over the last 3 weeks... but I digress.

First was hardrace rear camber arms and f7 LCAs. Still gotta go to a bolt shop tomorrow and get some longer bolts for the subframe..damn trade shops how dare they take extended holidays...
Next was new koni yellows and gc sleeves. They're in but I haven't set the ride height just yet.
I also found something strange when I took off the front passenger wheel...shitloads of grease everywhere. Outer CV boot was trashed. So I had to replace that which was an effort to say the least.I used the 'keep everything connected and make my own cv cone tool trick'. It worked but holy damn do my hands hurt. Aaaannddd then I checked the other side to find it was cracked but not yet destroyed, but I decided to replace it anyway. Then to top it off I found the drivers side steering rack boot is effed too. Dunno if i can be bothered doing it just now, even though its not a big job.
Wednesday afternoon I'm going down to bob Jane to get an alignment and have my new enkeis put on. I'll post pics of everything after then - assuming all goes to plan that is.

might aswell do the rack boot before the alignment because u will need a alignemnt after u change it since the tie rod has to come off.

Repco sell a strechable boot that only requires the joint to come out, you don't need to seperate the inner and outer rods apparently because it comes with a cover you attach to the tie rod end so you can slide the boot over it

Nah, it will get rims, but not now - just going to paint the current ones black, make them less ugly!

All mods will be about keeping it hidden from the Mrs! Looks the same, but goes different!

[senna]

Ahhhhh K, lol - I made the first bid on it and thought i was gonna get the deal of the century, then other people started bidding and for some reason i was shocked! "Why are you bidding on my Koni's?!!?!??" lol

Still a good deal though, hard luck man!

[viinnh]

far out man there was a buy it now price. i clicked on it to buy it the moment i saw it then it sent me to some error page. went back and someone bidded on it !!!!!!!!!

[senna]

Anyone know a place that does wheel alignment (with camber adjustment) for low cars btw?

My local bob jane did it for an extra $15 on top of standard wheel alignment
nice stance btw

[senna]

Try wholesale suspension in penrith, their ramps are pretty long so most slammed cars can still get up onto the hoist.

$55 from Ebay seller in perth - awesome deal compared to the local Dealer - $142+GST!

Yeah it is heavier than the standard nugget, not sure by how much but it does feel better and makes the shift a little bit easier since there is more weight behind it

Senna -

it says on the description "Type R Style" ...but it comes brand new in a OEM Honda genuine box ... wtf? lol

is the inside of the knob a screw in type / oem fitment?

[senna]

Screw on, genuine box and plastic real alloy, correct part number, everything. I'm thinking it might just be a genuine honda option part, not so much the original CTR gear knob, but i dunno...

If its not genuine then its the best damn copy i've ever seen!

Yeah all the orange lights up

in want that wing i think I'm going to sell my spoon carbon fibre one and buy 1 of those with the lift kit so hot

[ekx105]

Swapped my Tegiwa Racing Wing Lifters over to Mr Alex Wing Lifters. Some might say why? I wanted to change to the original designer, than to rather have copies. Plus Mr Alex Wing Lifters are better quality. Better metals and screws/bolts used. And they offer a little bit more aggressive angles.
