New member with an EK

[Deano_EK]

Hi my names Dean, im from the central coast, NSW. At the start of this year i upgraded from my warn out ford laser to a 96 Civic GLi hatch, so far so good heres a run down of the mods so far.

-17' chrome zenetti's
-G4 26 way adjustment coilovers
-2.25 exhaust
-Stereo consists of Pioneer h/u with mp3/bluetooth/ipod, JL splits, Kicker 12' sub, Monoblock amp and a 2 channel amp.

The paint does need a bit of work here and there, roof especially, me and my mate are going to be doing the prep work hopefully, also it has a dead input shaft bearing, and after doing some searching already it seems like a fairly common problem, getting done in the next few weeks when i have time.

Future mods
-Input shaft bearing done and all other accosiated bearings and new clutch
-Window tint
-Get the guards rolled and coilovers adjusted
-Minor interior work
-New paintjob, eyelids, keyless door handles, shaved antenna and rear wiper and also considering shaving the boot.

Let us know what you think guys.
Cheers.

Hi Dean, welcome to the forums. Not a fan of the rims but everyone has their different tastes. I'd also add DIY black housing headlights to the list, would go well with the tint you're getting.

Hiya Deano_ek, welcome to OH! nice ride u got there. Wow, I'm sure that its a joy to play some good beats in your car with all that ice. That Pioneer h/u u got, which model is that? I'm looking at getting the 6950IB (2007 model), which has a direct iPod connection.

Sorry dude not sure about the model number, it set me back around $600ish tho, and yer it sure is a joy playing some decent tunes with a good setup, ive tuned it atm for more SQ more than bass, really happy with it, the sub and the amps came out of my old car.

With the DIY black housings i was actually reading up on them last nite, dosent seem to hard, not sure if i want to get eyelids or black casings.. Maybe both? Opinions?
