welcome to OH buddy

nice facelift EK, is it CXi? GLi? VTi-R?

you say you're not sure where to start with your car, what are your goals? looks/comfort? performance?

[simmy]

dont think its a vtir, cant see sunroof

nice start already buddy, facelift = win

id go for a intake first, that sound makes girls moist

[bladed_yoshii]

cheers man :)
wait it has a face on it?? thought they came standard with those :/ haha and yeah cxi well to be honest where to i start im pretty much wanna do an complete overhaul of it, well nearly
i wanna repaint it cause of scratches etc, wanna drop a b16a (hopefully) into it, stick a body kit on it, heavy duty clutch, new rear lights, strut, hondata 200 (if i can get one) exstractors/ exhaust system
so you could almost say both of those things but im probably more worried about body work at the moment performance will come later

flutter drops panties.

[Super-DA9]

if it's only lightly scratched up you're better off running a buffer over the whole car instead of painting. respray = big $$$

B16A :thumbsup:
Clutch :thumbsup:
Strut bar :thumbsup:
Exhaust :thumbsup:
Hondata S200 is discontinued, S300 is the way to go :thumbsup:
Body Kit :thumbdwn: front lip and side skirts :thumbsup:

[EKVTIR-T]

Welcome dude,love black ek civics :thumbsup:

[ericl33]

should have gotten a dc2, better car overall.

[bladed_yoshii]

yeah strut bar would be the first thing id do then prob the exstractors + exhaust system there the cheapest i think :/ and yeah was thinking maybe change the colour but your right i should just buffer it
really dam, yeah was thinking the 300 but how much are they these days :/ also not too sure where a good place to pick things up from is oh i also need a tacho lol i think im reving to about 6-6.5k rpm when im giving it a floggin haha but not too sure lol but yeah those are pretty much my plans if i knew a good place to pick things up from even were to start lookin on the net would be a good start

[bladed_yoshii]

yeah well as i said eric im still pre noob :( and only found out about those models today :/ im still not 100% sure which ones they are :( so the more info the better :D

[ericl33]

No,not in any way.


OP ignore him

[bladed_yoshii]

ahk so the intergras were the dc2? hmm cause im still on my p's didnt think i could drive one yet but anyway i still love my civic and wanna make it a beast haha just need to know the right people and places to look :)

[ericl33]

stock for stock, integra has far better seats, and I'm not referring to Recaro's

[EKVTIR-T]

dc2 integra is based on eg civic platform,older generation

your ek civic is more advanced design and construction,you made a good choice

[Super-DA9]

the traders and private sale section on here is a great place to start collecting parts

[EKVTIR-T]

Also a good thread to get ideas here http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?134790-***Official-What-did-you-do-to-your-EK-today***

[bladed_yoshii]

well what should i be looking at? im presuming eg civic stuff will fit on the ek civics? also whats with like the ek9? that the year they were made or something

[FAITHLESS]

should have gotten a dc2, better car overall.
how dare you!

[Super-DA9]

whats with like the ek9? that the year they were made or something

the number represents which version of the car it is. EK-9 is the type R model. EK-1 is the sohc efi version (what you have). EK-4 is the VTi-R version.

pretty sure I got those right, if not maybe some of the civic guys can fix it for me haha.

[bladed_yoshii]

ahk cool thanks for clearing that up for me but yeah with the model differance most if not all the eg parts will fit the ek?

[FAITHLESS]

many parts will crossover, but not all.

[bladed_yoshii]

cheers guys thanks for being friendly about it and all the welcomes ^_^ and all the info hope we keep in touch and might see ya crusin round :)

later model Honda's, do you notice a trend?

[oopoc]

IMO you cannot compare tegs and civics, two cars built for very different purposes. Its prolly better (more meaningful) to compare tegs and ludes

Always have a soft spot for nice civics. But yah I've found a lot of parts are the same or similar. Good luck with the civic mate.

[butterfingers]

17's without dropping. big no no hmmmmm

[bladed_yoshii]

haha butterfingers its how i bought the car so wasnt me im prob gonna change the shocks over to king springs and drop it that way but gonna wait till i get a body kit for it so i dont drop it too far

[Super-DA9]

im prob gonna change the shocks over to king springs
LOLwut

[butterfingers]

LOLwut



LOL i get it too

[bladed_yoshii]

huh im lost lol haha as i said im pre noob and gonna say alot of stupid shiz haha

[xV73Cx]

welcome buddy and join the noob club :)

[Super-DA9]

I think what you meant was "im probably gonna get king springs and lowered shocks" yeah?

[bladed_yoshii]

yeah haha thats wat i did mean to be honest i dont word things too well sometimes

also found out my civic is in fact a ek1 lol not the ek4 :( oh well no difference really hey?

[ericl33]

big difference

[bladed_yoshii]

as in? and how big of a differance are we talking? will the same parts fit in or will i have to try stick to the ek1 parts?

[Super-DA9]

ek 4 has b16a from stock + coloured mouldings/door handles etc.

[ericl33]

ek1 is like base model taxi

ek4 is like fully optioned fairmont gear V8

just analogy....

[bladed_yoshii]

ahk i know the engine is a d16y4, so strut bars etc will be the same but stuff like extractors would be different cause of the engine series difference?

[Super-DA9]

yeah man thats right. all engine parts will be different for D and B series engines.

[bladed_yoshii]

sick so even if i get an ek4 strut it still should fit cause of the near same body structure?

[butterfingers]

ek1 is like base model taxi

ek4 is like fully optioned fairmont gear V8

just analogy....

ek9 is xr6t converted into premium taxi with mexican driver

[bladed_yoshii]

hahaha

[eeko]

ek4 seats > dc2 seats ... :) ive sat in my mates dc2 and he's sat in my ek4.. we both agree..


ek 4 has b16a from stock + coloured mouldings/door handles etc.
Incorrect.. not all ek4's have coloured mouldings.. the only factory colored part that isnt optional with the ek4's are the side mirrors and door handles :)

oh and to the op! hope you enjoy haha black = win... if only they made facelift ek4's

[bladed_yoshii]

yeah thanks for all the info btw peeps and yeah i didnt know how popular the black civics are haha. im still confused on wat exactly the facelifts are. :S haha

[FAITHLESS]

From 1996 to 1998, the pre-facelift civics were made. In 1999 Honda modified the front end of all ek's for more modern look. You might not be able to notice the difference yet, but you will. You just need to note when buying any body parts for the front end that it's for a post facelift civic.

that is correct haha.. a easily identifier.. is pre facelift 95-98 = bigger headlights / massive bumper lower grill .... facelift 99-01 = foglight vents and slimmer headlights. :D

[butterfingers]

also black mouldings on front and rear bar are gone, and clear rear indicators

[Gtstripes]

id start on doing DIY's :D it helps getting to know you car from the inside out + its addicting!!!!

always start small, my first "mod" was respraying the small door pockets after doing hours of research on how-to ha ha ha ha
it then changed to a full interior re-do :)

ek's looks nice with blackhousing headlights.. just saying ;)

[ericl33]

its addicting!!!!


you need the noun imo

Addictive.
