hey guys pretty dumb question here but does anybody know with the odometer if the very last number is in 100 meter incraments or 1 kilometer incraments?

[bennjamin]

Like all odometers

1 number = 100 meters

So as it moves , 1(00) 2(00) 3(00) meters.
When it reaches 10 it clicks over again.

[sik-vic]

ok just to clarify im not talking about the trip meter on the bottom im talking about the top row of numbers... still the same??

[Boban]

that one moves every k, so every time it clicks over you've done a km, so there should be six of them xxxxxx

[sik-vic]

well that sucks for me............ just bought a half cut with 176,000km on it
man i didnt think cars were aloud on the road in japan for that long :o

[Boban]

can't you just rip it appart and swap them around so you got 000 176 (illegal btw kiddies so don't risk 7 years jail, not that i know :p)

[sik-vic]

no ive never done that b4.....:cool:

but seriously is it realistic for a car to do that many km's over there??

[Boban]

I don't see why not man, depends what year the car is i suppose but it's hard to find a civic in aus with reasonable k's, there are some out there but very hard to find. What cut did you get and how much if you don't mind me asking

[sik-vic]

i got an eg9 with a b16a so i think its second gen, supposedly it has an lsd gearbox, ill know as soon as i pull the driveshafts out, but it comes with all the struts brakes ecu loom etc, i payed $2300

[Boban]

i'd pay that money for a b16, did you get the dash, sexy black????
BTW if your cluster is lover.....well just leave it in :D

[sik-vic]

yea i think its black, not really interested in the dash, plus im putting the motor into an ed civic sedan so the cluster wont fit my car

[Boban]

welllllll, do you wanna sell it to me than :D.....btw where are you man

[sik-vic]

ill confirm if its black when i pick up the half cut on monday, im in adelaide dude, the city of churches and grandmas and grandpas, and yea if its black ill sell it to ya

[Boban]

'm in brisbane man, probably cost more to ship it up here than it would for the dash, *sigh* i'll keep looking, but let me know. maybe we can work something out

[sik-vic]

man i posted nearly all my bits from my rx7 to dudes in bris vegas, its not that expensive
funnily enough i sent most of it on greyhound buses, pretty cheap....

[BaNaNaMaN]

Just a note, all JDM EG9's had black interior (dash, door trims, plastic mouldings)

I brought a Prelude conversion over here for around the same money (in NZD) and it had done 160,000.

Sounds like a cool project tho. Good luck.

[hondavti25]

Where all you guys getting theses half cuts from ? i am after a fairly cheep b18c for my ej8 any ideas? other then traders on here.

If the price and condition is right man anything is possible, keep in touch.
On another note: you do know eg's have hydraulics gearboxes and as far as i know ed/ef is cable (some one confirm????) I'm not sure how familiar you are with converting from one to another. I haven't done a civic but i have done a engine swap in a mitsu van and had to convert from cable to hydraulic g'box. Wasn't all that hard, we just swapped the whole setup from the BMC+booster to the pedals (was easier that way). Once again i haven't done one in civics or any honda so i can't say 100% it's gonna be easy/hard/possible at all. But good luck with the conversion mate, and let us know how you go. :thumbsup:

[sik-vic]

cheers boban, from doin my re-search the hydraulic to cable is a bit of a pain in the arse but im gonna give it a crack, unless i can find someone who is willing to swap a hydraulic box for a cable one, i know the b18a cable box bolts to a b16a, there out of a da9 89-93 integra, anyone know were i can get one? Or even better anyone got one??
