Bula to you all! :wave:

I am a newbie to this forum and also to the world of Honda. I moved back to Sydney after completing high school in Fiji (my birth place) and started Uni. I spent the whole of last six months trying to look for a suitable ride for myself on a very tight budget. :eek:

During the holidays, I had a good mate of mine visit Sydney from Vegas, USA. He completely talked me into Honda's, everything about them and how they would be a good choice as a car.

Anywhoo, long story short - I stumbled across this MINT AS 1996 EK1 Civic Sedan and after a test drive - I was hooked and the car was parked home the next day.

Although being a granny spec Gli, she does have a few subtle mods done to it, which many people cant pick out but gives the car a unique look. Im very fond of it and hope to continue down this path for future mods :)

I found this list from the previous buyers for sale listing:

EK4 Alloy Wheels
EK4 front 26mm swaybar
EK4 rear sway bar
EK4 SiR Front Lip
JDM EK4 Cluster with EK9 CF Bezel
EK4 Cupholders
OEM Honda Headlight covers
OEM Honda Centre Consold Armrest
JDM EK ferio Honda Access Window Visors/Weather shields
Fog Lights
JDM Honda Access Civic Floor mats
OEM Honda Mudflaps
16% Window Tints all round.
Pioneer headunit with speakers.
Bilstein height adjustable Shocks and Eibach Pro sports Springs.
KnN Panel Filter
Golpher Dual Core Alloy Radiator + Buddy Club Radiator Cap
Cusco EK4 MBC brake stopper

and here are the pics I took a few days ago.

Cheers mate. This is my first car in Sydney, but I used to own a VZ Calais in Fiji. I am not sure about this being an ozhonda members car, although its obvious why it would be! Kudos to the ex-owner :)

Yeah, have seen a few other EK sedan's around, and they aren't as clean and subtle as mine. Whoop!

Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

This is clean, has that oldschool appeal too. Considered the facelift tail lights, ek9 style ebay headlights, front bumper, front lip and rear bumper?
would make it look rpetty damn fresh :)

Thanks to you all who have given such kind words. Just a recent update, I have had the car serviced, oil, filters, pads, plugs and she is prowling very smoothly. Really enjoying driving this car.

Yes, I am looking into what mods I can do. I have read that the ebay headlights do not come with parkers. Is that true? Are they safe and durable? I dont have a problem buying it from the U.S as I have my mate over there who can send it over.

Well spotted buddy! Yes it is a car park dent that was there when I bought the car. With me being very busy, I havent had time to go and get it repaired. Its only a minor dent. Most people havent noticed it!

Hey guys, its been a while since I jumped on this forum. Thought I'd give an update. Since my last post, I decided to keep the civic and instead went out and bought myself a R33 GTS-t
I now have these two babies for myself and use the skyline as a weekend car and the civic for daily. Im 20yrs old and it was a goal to get a skyline before turning 21.

Anyways, the sky is up for sale now, I will be posting in the for sale section with a proper ad. Here's some pics - enjoy!

Nice civic... I know the previous owner. Hope you dont wreck it with cheap/replica ebay mods.

Time will tell.

I havent done any mods to the civic. I have had it for almost 2 years now. It gets serviced religiously and only with premium oils and parts as with my other cars. Hasnt missed a beat!
