*** Official - What Did You Do To Your EG Civic Today? ***

[57U-00]

Hey guys,

A couple of the guys in the "What did you do to your EK today" thread seem to be getting a little antsy that I've been posting on their thread, so here goes...

The name says it all... Post pics and info on the latest stuff you've done to your EG Civic here... I'll get the ball rolling -

Last night I put some JDM stickers on both of my front quarter panels due to hail damage from 2 months ago. Weighed up the option of replacement panels and the cost of getting them painted and considering the car was written off its just not worth it. I think these cover up / distract from the dents nicely...

So... what has everyone else been doing to their EG's? Lol...

[mocchi]

omg. looks better with dents haha.

[curtis265]

You shoulda stickerbombed the entier quarter panel

[57U-00]

lol... i know but its just my daily... i hate dents more than anything in the world... I was going to do a sticker wrap but i got a wedding to save up for atm and i'd rather replace the panels... then again i'm throwing money at a car and its not going to increase the value... might get another car after i'm not saving up for anything... lol i love those ebay stickers, they're so retarded..

[curtis265]

I suppose so, but yer, just IMO, they tend to look more tacky than dents.. unless of course theyre band-aid stickers :D

[57U-00]

lol... totally agree that they look tacky, but when every single panel is dented with every dent being at least 2mm deep, and $4000+ worth of damage on a $3000 car, i can't complain really...

[dc292177917]

***Official - You Did Something Wrong To Your EG Yesterday Night***

LOLOL

imo get ride of the sticker and the black anti-carpark-bump thing
a clear white EG would look better (Y)

[12mod]

ive been crazy busy with my eg i have removed the old engine prepped the b18 and done some panel work tomorrow i will finish the body work rub back the engine bay ready for paint and probably look at laying down a few coats in the engine bay aswell want to get this conversion done asap

[jeremydawg]

ya know ya could bog/primer those dents up and respray it... easy as pie, painting would be the hardest unless you know what your doing. ill be putting up a DIY soon, dent repair and respray. :cool:

[Stoogey]

Picked up some moulded carpet for my eg today

http://img37.picoodle.com/i51u/stoogey/jbmn_aa3_u9u9l.jpg

Was gonna install it but decided not to cause it was only about a thousand degrees in Sydney today...

nice, i need new carpet myself. whered ya get it? how much?

[Stoogey]

nice, i need new carpet myself. whered ya get it? how much?

Theres a place down here in Sydney called 'Siba Car Carpets' its where i got mine.

$185 for both front and rear pieces in the plush cut pile. Loop pile stuff is abit cheaper but also feels like crap.

I see your in qld, look up knox auto carpets. They are melbourne based but ship aus-wide.

[57U-00]

considered the option but i'm useless with paint and body stuff, and I don't know anyone that has those awesome skills... I'd have to take it to a body shop and pay top dollar which would work out at about the same price as paintless dent removal which is still too expensive... due to the number of dents it'd need a whole surface respray...

true. bogging is actually quite easy it only sounds difficult. you mix it according to instructions, apply it then when it hardens you sand it level. it is as easy as that. My first bog job i got the first mix wrong, aced the second and im usually not good with my hands. but i guess if you're not sure on painting dont do it... unless you wanna watch some youtube vids and diy's on resprays. its all quite easy if you have the right equipment. only thing is that it takes time

[murdarah]

Hand waxed my EK1, which hasn't been done in a very, very long time and it looks much better now :). Also took out and steam cleaned the seats and boot mat lol.

[boyjkl1111]

today, i have a plan to buy a EG . lolz

Hey good work on setting up the EG thread man! The admin guys at OzHonda are gettin a bit slack - I asked them to change the EK thread to EK/EG but never had a reply... oh well you got ur own thread now :D

[57U-00]

lol... will still frequent both...

civic may be going... looking at a 95 CRX Del Sol atm... the thing is mint as!

[dc292177917]

i brought mine a hondata for future use (Y)

[blastnpast]

Um...

Last time I researched it an EK1 was not an EG :/





NOOB** there is an ek thread out there lol

[KillerTofu]

i stripped 2 of the threads for the wheels on my eg, tried to paint my rims only to get pimped by rain, almost ran into a grandma on my l's, and all around had a faggot day, go figure.

[mocchi]

if someone can enforce 'must have pic when posting' rule, this thread would be much more interesting.

i installed window visors today hehehe.
http://i25.tinypic.com/2akd7yo.jpg
*google pic, i didnt take pics

lol, make sure you primer your wheels before you paint them!

[57U-00]

yeah? how good are ya at it?! lol i got alot of dents that need bogging and respraying... any pics of ur handywork? without turning this into boost losing (boost cruising) what sort of monetary costs are we talking... paint is paint - fair enough... but u sound like u got the equipment... if u feel confident and wanna make some cash u could always do mine lol... (i don't have equipment or patience)

[TheSaint]

about fkn time we had our own thread

today i stripped my front doors - relined them and installed mb-quarts splits (the old non-chinese ones lol)

2moro ill be replacing my headlight plugs and installing speakers in the rear =D

the little D15 got to see 7000rpm again today after a long break hehehe

[57U-00]

Last night I had to make a tough decision - because if I didn't I was going to drive myself insane...

My options - Abandon the civic and start saving for a different car (which could be suffering mechanically)

or

Pour f**k tonnes of money into the civic, knowing at the end of the day its still a civic and still only worth $3100 market value...

My decision - LET'S POLISH A TURD! Sorry to say but this car is the car that doesn't stop giving. I've had heaps of good looking and ugly cars that have just continually broken down. Beaten and battered from the hail this little car hasn't missed a beat and I think it deserves a make-over and some beefing up, so I'm going all out. This project will take years and years... So thats what I did today... decided to turn my poor little civic into a hot-hatch micro cruiser, and depending on time possibly a show car...

http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr258/57U-00/94%20Civic%20GLi/P1010910.jpg

I wish I could make her look like this again...

[blastnpast]

Haha at ^^ I chose the same decision for my ek :)

Except keeping the civic as a JDM cruiser

[jeremydawg]

I like the wheels, it needs coil-overs!

[57U-00]

I like the wheels, it needs coil-overs!

lol... it needs more than that... it needs every panel replaced due to hail, the rims are bent so it needs new rims in general, and considering all the other crap it needs done first, coil-overs are nowhere on the list right now :(

[jeremydawg]

lol... it needs more than that... it needs every panel replaced due to hail, the rims are bent so it needs new rims in general, and considering all the other crap it needs done first, coil-overs are nowhere on the list right now :(

oh lol, yeah cosmetics more important. once thats done, get a half cut and do engine conversion then coil-overs! EG's look so good slammed

[57U-00]

dude there's so much hail damage its not even worth doing anything to it... i'd be better off just buying another civic thats already had all that shit done for what it'd cost me to fix this and then do the conversion to it... its pretty sad...

[jeremydawg]

Damn that sucks! were you in logan when the hail hit? we had a huge hail storm here a couple weeks back. Have you tried one of those dent suction cups? its worth a try. might be able to get the smaller dings out

[57U-00]

Damn that sucks! were you in logan when the hail hit? we had a huge hail storm here a couple weeks back. Have you tried one of those dent suction cups? its worth a try. might be able to get the smaller dings out

yeah, they want near $3K to get all the dents out... $2.4K if i get a new bonnet, but then I need to get the bonnet colour coded which is gonna push it back up to near $3K... to get the dents bogged and sprayed they want minimum of $4K because they'd have to do a complete surface respray... the car still goes so good... i haven't heard a non-vtec civic that sounds as good as mine...

[12mod]

i have always done my own body work its not that hard once you know what your doing and as for painting i know a really good painter that would charge heaps less then 4grand

[jeremydawg]

^^^ Damn straight, bogging and sanding is so friggin easy, painting can be harder, its the prep work thats the MOST important. Get yourself a crap load of sticky tape and news paper... find an empty garage, Get a compressor and spray gun, decent paint and primer, clear coat. i have access to all these except an empty garage :( respray should cost 3k.

[KillerTofu]

w00t, tried to remove the old shitty window tint, shittest ****ing job ever, done about 3.5/5 windows, burnt myself severasl times, died in the heat multiple times, raged about 20 times, and didn't even finish.

<3 failing your daily jobs.............................................. ..............

[KillerTofu]

oh yes, tint finally ****ing out, progress pic of car :

cleaned waxed vacummed, looking the cleanest the cars ever been.

[jeremydawg]

^^ not bad. looks pretty damn clean. Did you respray your bonnet matt black?

Got my SiR badge in the mail...Finally
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z422/jeremydawg/My%20Car/10022011158.jpg?t=1297420722
R is a bit off, damn!

[KillerTofu]

whole car had a home-job respray lol, not too bad actually, the bonnet is the only shit part, cause it had a huge sticker as a joke for like 12 months, which in turn faded a silhouette into the paint, but it had a few scruffs anyway, so gives me another excuse to respray..

another way this thing is hemorrhaging money from me.. lol

should have a spoon n1 soon, hopefully!

MORE PEOPLE POST IN THIS THREAD NOA.

[jeremydawg]

haha, yeah needs a respray. get it professionally done this time haha. will look sick when its a glossy black

[Red_EG4]

should have a spoon n1 soon, hopefully!

MORE PEOPLE POST IN THIS THREAD NOA.
spoon n1 on what engine?

What have I done today? I got up early, drove into my local tyre shop to get my tyres swapped due to uneven wear but they were closed.

[owens14]

Just finished putting my new port and polised head in with my skunk 2 series maifold fr my d16y1. Also replace the black hoses with red ones and painted my rocket cover red. Now for a dyno :)

[KillerTofu]

only gonna respray bonnet, rest is fine, matt ftw. gloss on gloss = ;(

ordered some stickers and shit from japan.

and the n1 would be going on my jdm d15.

[quangsuke]

Tinted car windows 5% rear, 30% fronts

[mocchi]

holyshit, those recaros looks mint. nice hehe.

[KillerTofu]

nice quang, interior looks very nice and clean.

how much you pay for recaros?

and do you remember where you picked up the grill for the rear speakers?

cheers !

today : removed a couple of small decals off my car, nothing really major.. no money for anything else, waitting for some new decals from japan :D

picked them up for 800 with original dc2r rails. driver side is mint condition and passenger side has slightest bit of bolster wear and one ciggie burn.
i switched them so i used the non mint one to keep the other one spanking new. =D

i grabbed the rear speaker grills off the other eg vti we got because it has speakers in the rear parcel shelf =D
(easily can pick them up from wreckers)

[KillerTofu]

thanks dude!

do the dc2r rails bolt onto eg?

[Stoogey]

do the dc2r rails bolt onto eg?

Yep the dc2 rails are a straight fit into eg's.

[KillerTofu]

ah thats sick, i wish i could afford a set of sparcos or recaros.. geuss seat covers will have to do for me for a year or two! lol

[quangsuke]

ah thats sick, i wish i could afford a set of sparcos or recaros.. geuss seat covers will have to do for me for a year or two! lol

well it is expensive to fork out that much money for seats, i was lucky enough my girlfriend got them for me =)
but if it wasn't for her i would never be able to justify that much money on 'just' seats.

take your time with modifying your car. i've only owned my car for less then a year and im happy to say im finished =D (just need rims =D)

[KillerTofu]

i drove it, ithats all.

[viinnh]

chucked a jdm dc5 centre console in mine.. had to make a big cut out because eg hand brake is to small . was not thikning , does dc5 hand brake fit into eg ?

[jeremydawg]

dude that last pic is horrible haha, looks like it was fap time when ya took the pic. Anywayz, it looks damn good man! does look like a short shifter lolz. I want one now, how much for one?

[12mod]

that looks awful you need to do a bit of fibreglass work to make that suit imop its just to modern to suit an eg sorry A for effort though

[quangsuke]

i say thats ****ing sick man.
great work on being different and giving something new a go.

dw next time when u do it u will get it bang on.

top work =D

[[daan]]

yer. looks mad good.

maybe just needs to be mounted 50% lower...then u wouldnt have to bung a hole in it, and actually get to use those cupholders...

nice try but!

[quangsuke]

gave the car a wash and picked up some new shoes =D

[12mod]

there is something wrong with you guys in no way does it suit an eg its to modern it sit to high the only way it would look any good would be to cut atleast an inch maybe inch and half off the bottom so it sat at height that the hand brake was useable without butchering it

[quangsuke]

well each to their own, its good that his taking a different approach and yes it needs some alteration.
regardless its a good effort.

[KillerTofu]

didn't really do anything, but i took a photo if that counts? lul

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz165/KillerTofuu_/11cvc/IMG_1907.jpg

some decals gone.

p.s

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz165/KillerTofuu_/11cvc/Copy2ofIMG_0412.jpg

that was the car when i got it, not to mention it wouldn't actually turn over..

[jeremydawg]

^^^ friggin good job mate! looks so damn good. Bonnet actually looks matte there and suits it lol, id prob just leave it haha

[Stoogey]

Installed the last part of my a/c system today, the receiver drier. So it's ready to be flushed and regassed...finally...aircon...just when the weather gets cooler......awesome....

http://img40.picoodle.com/i52g/stoogey/jbmn_b56_u9u9l.jpg

Tight fit to squeeze the r.d in.

http://img37.picoodle.com/i52g/stoogey/jbmn_c7f_u9u9l.jpg

[jeremydawg]

hahaha, i just forced myself to get an aircon unit for my room cause of the unbearable heat. ive only been able to use it twice, its not hot anymore lol

[KillerTofu]

it is matte, but its a pretty screwed, so just needs a respray back to matt, all in good time!

i think i've done a great job redoing the car, especially seeing as i was only 16 at the time of bringing it back to life.

time to start getting it better!

[Stoogey]

Got myself some Stinger Roadkill today to get myself ready for the audio install. Was a big impulse buy...

http://img37.picoodle.com/i52h/stoogey/jbmn_a42_u9u9l.jpg

Was gonna go the door speaker pack buy figured i'd pay that bit extra for alot more.

The receiver drier? Ended up costing me $35.

Did you run a new feed of wire through to the door or did you just reuse the old/stock wiring?


Today i finally put my new carpet down ;)

http://img37.picoodle.com/i52l/stoogey/jbmn_97a_u9u9l.jpg

http://img37.picoodle.com/i52l/stoogey/jbmn_096_u9u9l.jpg

[KillerTofu]

I just ran the speakers off the old wiring as it was already aftermarket, pretty ****ing dumb actually cause they're coaxils and it's component wiring but everything seems to work .. I'll sort it all out eventually, this is just for the time being/short while, they're an improvement which is what I needed !

[Stoogey]

May i ask how the aftermarket wiring was installed?

I have been meaning to run a new feed of 12 gauge wiring to my doors. I usually go for the stealth method of running it through the rubber boot that goes from the side panel into the door but i have discovered that it actually isnt just a rubber boot. It ends as a plug that plugs into the door. So sliding wire through a plug obviously wont work, and it's a small area to work on so drilling new holes will be a big hassle.

[KillerTofu]

I actually didn't look in depth, but from what I remember on my door, you should just follow the power for the windows, if your car doesn't have power windows that may be why it's plugged off ? If the thing your talking about is the wrippled looking tube, then I'm 99 % sure that's what mine were through.

Feel free to ask anymore questions, sorry if my answers suck haha.

[KillerTofu]

spoon exhaust, some illest stickers, and various decals are on the way.

should be picking up a small sub soon too :)

[jeremydawg]

^^^ good stuff! Good choice for sub aswell! the max ya need for a sound system is just a small sub. I cant stand it when people put like two massive subs in their car, its so dumb, and sounds like utter crap. Oh look at me my sub can make my mirrors shake hahahaha... Friggin tosser's! /Vent lols!

In fact if you had the perfect setup with good speakers, sound deadener, solid speaker mount's, good quality speaker's, amp etc, you wouldnt even need a sub. I have a small sub though, cause i cant be stuffed going all out with my sound system just yet lawl

Feel free to ask anymore questions, sorry if my answers suck haha.

the newer model eg's dont have individual wiring, they have a plug and play loom at the door hinge.
so i think thats what his saying.

so if that the case, the inside door loom is removable and u can tuck your 12 gauge wire through

[Stoogey]

Not to worry, all sorted.

I did this

hey anyone here had any problems with theives? like gettin your lip, honda badge or fog lights stolen? Im thinking of adding them to my insurance list cause theyre quite expensive and ive heard faggots love to pillage hondas cause there parts are worth quite a bit of cake

[na-118]

old news man they steal lips and mudflaps around sydney

[jeremydawg]

^ lol! Mudflaps??? there are some wierd fags about these days! i work at bilo and people even steal those go green bags hahaha

[KillerTofu]

Thinking about finally buying some gauges for my pod.

Eh yeah, ****s will steal anything, pretty annoying, always scared to leave my car about ..

[Stoogey]

I put my rear speakers and trim panels back in, and also got to work on my audio setup, slowly getting there...

If any sydney peeps have an eg hatch parcel tray hook me up, cheers.

[KillerTofu]

Did you build a floor for your boot ? And what size are the rear speakers ? :)

[VT3C]

no one likes my orange clock :(

HAHAH I did bro !! looks BETTER than a JDM Amber clock !!

If only they made 1kg boxes of Tic Tacs so u could do your cluster ;)

[jeremydawg]

^^Thanks! hahahahaha try office works, they sell jumbo sizes of everything lols.
The amber clock conversion only cost me 95cents, turned out friggin awesome

[KillerTofu]

how exactly did you do it? haha.

and answer my question whore ;D

[quangsuke]

how exactly did you do it? haha.

and answer my question whore ;D

2 ways.
open it up and replace the plastic piece that sits inside.

or cut a piece out and tuck it in the opening gap so it sits on front.

[KillerTofu]

like a boss.

maybe i should do it.

best part of the mod is that you get a packet of tic-tacs as a reward....

[jeremydawg]

^^ hahaha lols! yeah get a pack of tic tacs bra! Take your cluster out, FIRST unplug the clock and hazard blinkers. To take the clock out theres 3screws. Open the clock, youll see a purple sheet of plastic snap it out with a flat head or something, get super glue hold the plates on the 4 plastic poles down and put glue over the tips of the poles so your clock screen doesnt move around. Then glue your tic tac sheet on top, make sure its flat and not touching the four pole things. Let me know if any probz, should be easy as frak though.
Enjoy your amber clock sexy xoxoxox

[KillerTofu]

oh my.. so much work. **** it, i'll just keep putting stickers on my car .. LOL

[jeremydawg]

haha! it only sounds like heaps of work. Infact, just take out your cluster (2 screws) and go from there, forget what i said just do it your own way. Its so easy its impossible to stuff up...almost lawl.

[Stoogey]

Did you build a floor for your boot ? And what size are the rear speakers ? :)

Havn't built a floor for the boot yet but i will be setting up a false floor when i get some time, i already have the mdf for it, it's just uni is back in so less time for me now.

Rear speakers in there at the moment are 5.25" JBL's, perfect fit.

[nam.qhc]

what kinda of polish do u use after sanding??
so bling bling

thanks viinh for replying for me! =]

you can use any type of metal polish! mag polish.. aluminum polish.. just go autobarn supercheap and ask for metal polish! the brand mother is quite good =]

after using 2000 sand paper your metal piping should b very SMOOOOTTHHHH but looks very pale still.. that is because the sandpaper dust and and small dirt particles are still on the metal itself! by using polish it will clean all that off! use a microfibre cloth~ does wonders! the trick is too put a decent amount on ur cloth and go hard on the metal in one direction.. this allows the cloth/polish to collect the dirty particles off evenly and effectively.. you will notice quite easily cause ur cloth will turn BLACK and i mean BLACK. try to use 2 cloths... one to apply the polish on.. and a CLEAN one to wipe the polish off.. repeat this 3-5 times.. and you will get the mirror finish! give it a go! hell worth the effort! another trick is take ur time.. do it once do it right.. wen sand papering take ur time.. like me.. i went through 6 steps... 600 dry then 600 went and so on.

enjoy =]

[KillerTofu]

Sure, ill get a pic for you tomorrow since it's pitch black. Theyre pretty much screwed straight onto the window corner of the door (black triangle part)

[Red_EG4]

ah yeah, I was basically just wondering if you had the little plastic mirror covers that had the tweeter mount built in.
Look forward to seeing how they look, thanks mang :thumbsup:

[KillerTofu]

Looks like whoever installed the (shit) system just (poorly) screwed them straight in. Definantly not oem or anything near as good lol.

I WANT MY EXHAUST, FU COURIER YB LONG.

[Red_EG4]

I hate my "dont **** with oem" attitude cant workout how to mount my tweeters without drilling/screwing into oem parts

Jamie bro that lets the car down, get that fixed up quick! ;)

[KillerTofu]

hahah $$$$$ brew!

more concerned about getting struts and a headrest. no giant stick mod for me LOL

i'm gonna buy a new set of components within the next few months anyway :P

can't decide what to do next! killing me, carpet.. paint bonnet.. get gauges.. fix up sound..

fu no money.

p.s. stooge..

jaycar 30 dollar sound deadening just for lolz.. worth it or na?

can't afford 400 bucks + for sound deadening like some of us >.>

[ekcoupe]

Today i replaced the door hinges because doors were sagging an realigned the hood n front bumper, Plus a detail and some pics.

Do the inside first bro, if your cars gonna look crap at least be comfortable inside it (like mine :D)

Cheap sound deadening isn't really worth it, the jarcar stuff isn't as dense as the dynamat/roadkill and the adhesiveness isn't there, so in hot weather it might not hold especially on vertical surfaces.

No need for 400 bucks bro, thats if you wanna go all out.

Dynamat have kits for specific sections of the car you can work on.

Speaker kit roughly $25-$35 (2x 10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) pieces of Dynamat Xtreme)

Front doors kit roughly $100-$120 (4x 12" x 36" (305mm x 914mm) pieces of Dynamat Xtreme)

Trunk kit roughly $160-$200 (5x 18" x 32" (457mm x 812mm) pieces of Dynamat Xtreme)

Bulk Kit roughly $240-$300 (9x 18"x 32" (457mm x 812mm) pieces of Dynamat Xtreme)

Roadkill is abit cheaper and in my eyes the same quality (the alluminium backing feels thicker even on the roadkill). JBhifi have the universal pack (2x 12" x 24" pieces) for $70, cheaper even if you catch them on a car audio sale.

If you want better sound, do the doors and block service holes first.


ekcoupe, your eg makes me wanna have babies....

[KillerTofu]

true!

derp, well, if i buy new carpet, im gonna get the sound insulation stuff,rather than underfelt, so gtfo deadening floor.

i geuss i could just do speaker mounts + doors, lexus thud + a bit of improvement LOL

gonna get myself some seat covers, head rest, and strut caps soon .

facebook me jew.

ekcoupe, thoes recaros are babe ;D

[Red_EG4]

any amount of sound deadening will make a difference for the better

[KillerTofu]

ill probably just do a little, a bit later, once i upgrade components + get an amp for sub.

right now need to fix anything broken/ugly! lol

seat covers ftmfw.

[jeremydawg]

Nice wheels ekcoupe! What are they?

[KillerTofu]

jeremy, you religiously post, but i havent seen much of your car, show me the money ;3

why do you want gauges.....

[KillerTofu]

i'm not going to lie.... i just like glowing shit on my dash.

i really couldn't care less if i look like a complete twat, i think they look friggen sick on the pillar at night.

[KillerTofu]

sick, just baught struts + headrest for my eg from a member. :D

now to get some seat covers for a bandaid fix.

[Stoogey]

If you bought it from dorikin then yeah he'll look after you man.

I got some TRD seatcovers if you want (lol)...

[KillerTofu]

Sure did :)

LOL gtfo. Hurry up and get your door back in a drive for chow.

god damn I wish my stuff would hurry up and come !

Black carpet is next option I think ?! :)

[Red_EG4]

black carpet with grey interior?

[Stoogey]

Where are you getting the black carpet from?

[KillerTofu]

Probably Knox, your place sounds cheaper.. But I'm awkward on the phone and would rather pay 20 bucks for not having to do it LOL

Red, black carpet looks mint in egs IMO ;3

[Stoogey]

They are only at lansvale man, just go in and see them, speak to a guy named Julian (im pretty sure he's the owner).

You'll have to wait a few days for it to be made up though.

[KillerTofu]

how's yours quality wise?

btw, mega happy post!!!

got my exhaust! :D:D:D:D

side note:

how rad is my dog ? ;3

[Red_EG4]

Red, black carpet looks mint in egs IMO ;3
it does
but I think it looks silly with grey trim

[KillerTofu]

i'd re-trim the door panel + speaker covers in the back. but the rest i cbf spraying the plastics.. too much work for that look tbh

i don't mind two tone haha.

i geuss ill see what happens when it comes time!

[Red_EG4]

too easy, was just giving you my opinion, not telling you what to do

[KillerTofu]

yeah i know dude :)

didn't mean to sound like a dick, i manage to come off as a **** online quite regularly haha.

[viinnh]

removing rear interior plastic is the easiest. and sprayig you dont need to primer or sand down. ive done it. since end of july till now its still good not faded.

[KillerTofu]

geuss i better stop being lazy then eh! haha.

priority for now but is to fix the hatch rear window, put my exhaust in (squeel), and bondo + paint my window sills, they're letting the car down so much..

school holidays in a month or so, hopefully can do alot of diy'ing :)

[jeremydawg]

^^ ya mang, respraying trim is soooo easy, ive done it many times. I reckon red carpet will look kinda crap IMO, plus if it gets dirty you can see it way more clearly than black, itll wear quicker too. black would look sick though. Buy a crap load of spray cans and do your interior black if ya want it to suit with the black carpet :D

[KillerTofu]

Gonna get some paint soon, wipers desperately need a spray !

Wonder if export is good enough :L

[jeremydawg]

Export, is that the super cheap stuff? that prob the worst paint ever lols. although for wipers it should be ok. if ya want it to last get another better known brand, doesnt have to be expensive like VHT

[KillerTofu]

Hm. Maybe I shouldn't cheap out LOL.

and also, dorikin for the bits, yonas for inspiration! and mostly, the community of jdmst/ozhonda for providing a place for me to ramble and pick up cheap peices :)

And yes, Will is badass, if it wasn't for him i probably would have died of heatstroke already from lack of a/c, and Yonas is inspiration for everyone (he also sold me my oil filter...which i probably would have died without too...)

Alright, before we (i) get off track, today, i "thought" about my eg, and how i want to possibly stickerbomb something on it...yeah, im a bandwagoner.

Haha :)

The inspired become the inspiration .. LOL!

i serviced my car today.

the freakin oil filter did my head in though!!

think i'm gonna have to buy a wrench for it..anybody know a good oil filter wrench????

[KillerTofu]

don't you just use a normal wrench ? lol

anyway!!

as promised!

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz165/KillerTofuu_/601c336c.jpg

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz165/KillerTofuu_/750b327d.jpg


thanks for looking! :)

[egb16b]

no you need an oil filter wrench.. unless your oil filter has the socket extension on the end of it. I'm using genuine honda oil filter though.

nice work on your car btw.

[KillerTofu]

oh i see i see!

never serviced a car myself tbh haha.

thanks! :D

[Stoogey]

Friggen tell me about it, previous place that serviced my car last (when it wasn't under my ownership) monkey wrenched the damn oil filter on and it took me about half an hour to take it off. In the end i just owned it with a set of big jaw pliers.

Ended up looking like this.

http://img40.picoodle.com/i52n/stoogey/jbmn_85b_u9u9l.jpg

Generally most oil filter wrenches/straps will do the job ok providing the previous filter was installed properly (ie. hand tightened). For the more complicated ones like mine, you should look at getting this

http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Super-Works-Oil-Filter-Pliers-63-5mm-x-116mm.aspx?pid=122172#Description

Should do most jobs sweet. I'm running a HAMP filter as well, oem ftw.

Jamie, never serviced your own car? Learn to. Trust me, it will help in the long run. Simple sh*t like oils, filters, plugs etc is very easy. If you need help just gimme a yell. Invest in a good set of tools as well if you havn't already, makes any job that much easier.

[KillerTofu]

yeah, i think i'd be really interested in it, prefer to have work on my car done by myself :D

will do dude! same to you, for the limited knowledge i have haha.

on a $10 budget from now till about 2 months on, saving for bike, will do minor diy on car, but if i pass my p's, more just driving and maintaining till i get bike :D

p.s i remember laughing so hard at that oil filter post on jdmst. LOL

[jeremydawg]

If your having trouble getting your oil filter off, get some sand paper wrap it around the filter and turn really hard. Works for me

[mrmango]

picked up a 5 stud and other bits ;)

[KillerTofu]

Woot (stripped my paint but I don't even care ATM cause I love bombing :)

[jeremydawg]

those bed sheets remind me of sleeping over my grandmas lol

[KillerTofu]

the table cloth you mean? LOL

[jeremydawg]

aahahaha, looks low so i thought it was a bed. That explains the design, grannys bedsheets are identical.
Anyway, nice work. gonna change my climate control bulbs soon to orange

[Stoogey]

gonna change my climate control bulbs soon to orange

Nice nice, photos when your done bro :)

[mrmango]

Looks mad!

[KillerTofu]

thanks guys! :D

repainted the parts that got stripped, installed, looks mint now!

i feel pretty much comfy in my interior.

things i would change in the future, would definantly be carpet, i might just go back to grey, so i don't have to respray all my interior peices, or i'd do it, depending how i feel/things turn out. Get my gauges, and maybe bulb swap.

as far as my car goes.. i think it's getting to the stage where i feel like i'm comfortable with it, and nothing MAJOR needs to be done.

just bits and bobs and changes when i feel like it.

TIME TO BUY A BIKE YO! :D

[jeremydawg]

what bike ya gettin?

[KillerTofu]

just a nice pussy cbr 125.. LOL

i know, flame away, but it's only for going to the shops/movies and work (if i get a job -.-)

not to mention it sits at my max budget, and i think it looks snazzy haha.

[jeremydawg]

ahaha good stuff man, i cant flame i dont even have the guts to ride a bike lol. i just dont like the idea that some commo driver can drift into me at anytime and end my life. You have a budget and you dont work? whats that like? enjoy it while you can!

[KillerTofu]

very true, i'll only be riding around my/immediate suburbs for the first 6 months for sure, not doing ANYTHING risky like i would in a car i can trust.

haha, i geuss you'd call it an allowance? not much, but i've become quite an expert at saving, ration my money, don't eat take out or whilst im out, rely on group/splitting buys. Everything goes into my rides :)

[jeremydawg]

awesome, i never got allowance haha.

Polished my intake and put a better filter on, its a bit dark so pics tommorow

[KillerTofu]

its only 20 bucks haha.

mind you thats going out money too.. 20 bucks a week for everything. no extra for anything, besides school stuff :\

then again my mums pretty cool with buying me shit/halves. so works out for me :D

derp. driving test soon! fml!

[Vvvtec]

awesome, i never got allowance haha.

Polished my intake and put a better filter on, its a bit dark so pics tommorow

Is this the intake you've been telling me about for ages? If it is, i'm excited, and so should everyone be! Unique and innovative are two words that come to mind. Oh and gains.

[jeremydawg]

haha, yeah i did it a while ago but never mentioned it on OH. Was all rusty and had a small as pod, fixed! pics later on today

[jeremydawg]

Ok intake is ready to mount. Custom pringle can intake FTW
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z422/jeremydawg/21012011135.jpg?t=1300413620
as you can see its actually a replica pringle can...this is aldi pringles can










Na but srs heres what ive done: Damn i cant find the "before" pic...oh well, it looks waaay better
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z422/jeremydawg/18032011205.jpg?t=1300413620
The filter you see on the pringles can was the filter that used to be on my intake. pipe was rusty too, autosol fixed that up

[dorikin]

what brand is that intake? looks like ARC/Top Fuel style

[jeremydawg]

just custom, no brand im sure. whoever did it did a good job

[dorikin]

too good for custom, i'm pretty sure the top section is ARC

http://imgur.com/yf1hw.jpg

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc194/miraclehonda/HINWhat062.jpg

[jeremydawg]

lol, your prob right then. I remember the previous owner saying it was pretty expensive so must be arc

[Vvvtec]

Yes that is an ARC intake arm Jer. Sounds good!

[NeedVtec]

Installed a front strut, and replaced my cracked type R lip with a Wings West lip.

[KillerTofu]

[Stoogey]

watched it get soaked in the rain and burnt some cds to put into it.. derp

Jesus called, he want's his cd's back.

Buy an ipod.

:wave:

[Alvis]

have both in my car playing through an Alpine deck (Boston Acoustic fronts and Infinity rears) and I still think CD sound quality is easily better than iPod

[KillerTofu]

not really that.. more that i can't afford a head deck? rofl.

i have an ipod and an iphone.

my brother said he was buying me a head deck, but hes on holidays atm the bastard lol.

hopefully ill get an ipod headdeck once he gets back, sick of cds... especially cause itunes keeps ****ing failing them -.-

woot! bike in a month :D:D:D:D

[Stoogey]

Yeah off course, cd's, provided the music is of high quality will always crap over any digital media such as an mp3 player. I am quite anal with my ipod music, everything that goes in has to be very high quality otherwise it doesn't go in or i buy a cd of it. I used to do alittle bit of dj'ing and so i've gotten very used to cd's (not like kids these days that plug usb sticks into "cd dj players" and immediatley think they're dj heros..../whinge).

Hmmm.....in car vinyl player....

You can get a basic Kenwood with aux input for about $80-$100.

[KillerTofu]

yeah, thats the one im making my brother buy :D

This is what I did to my EM1 to fit my SSR's haha ghetto indeed. mine turned out half decent though, just roughed the paint up a bit underneath lol

[RandyRhydah]

Yeah, i think i found a bit of treated olf rust just above where the bat is.

Cracked the metal and can see a bit of corrosion. It looks like its been cured so i think a little fill in it and i'll just keep my eye on it.

The rubber lining sounds like a bitch when rubbing against the tires... lol, i will use a heat gun for precautions to stop the paint from cracking hopefully... once on uni break, will attempt this ghetto trick :D
