Hello from the rat hole of victoria

[EK4 Phil]

Hello everyone.

Just thought I might introduce myself and my car.

Well I'll start off that I am a Uni student at Ballarat UNI studying Bachelor Of Information Systems which is IT and Business management put together. I work part time as a CSC technical consultant (A glorified helpdesk worker) hehehe.

I used to own a Honda Civic CXI(great on petrol) for one year but needed more power and better handeling so I went for the Honda civic Vtir which I have had just over a year now.

My Honda Civic Vtir 1998.
Mods I have done are as follows:
- K&N replacement panel filter
- B&M short shifter
- Ecedy heavy duty clutch
- 4-1 X-force header (want to change) as it's too low.
- and full 2 1/4 inch exhaust and x-force twin loop muffler

- Suspension is Pedders sports rider (thinking about getting Buddy Club N+ spec)
- Whiteline 22mm Rear swaybar with heavy duty mount
- As you can see buddy club P1 SF 16"

- Also some Sound system mods that aren't significant.

My ultimate goal is to have a pretty quick weekend track car, but still able to drive to work with.


Regards Phil.

welcome too ozhonda!
excellent! i got a ek GLi and wanna upgrade too the VTi-R, is it really noticeable?

[EK4 Phil]

I have bought the Vtir stock and there was a big difference.
Let me tell you Vtec is the best. It feels sort of the same as the CXI to 5,000 - 5,500 rpm but with alot more torque. But after that it's unbelievable it just keeps going till red line unlike the CXI if I can remember it was 6,500 rpm then after it just dies.

Handeling is heaps better it holds better in the corners even with the stock suspension. A good test is to drive to a hilly area with winding roads with the old car and then with Vtir. (I did this because I bought it from the Adelaide hills area)

Massive difference man.
