My Baby EG5 Civic

Mocchi has asked for an update.
Nothing much, I've got uni 5 days a week. Two days ago, picked up my DC2R sussy assembly from JDMyard + new pair of rear RDA rotors.

The boys at JDMyard did all sussy bushings, except front camber arms since I haz recently acquired Hardrace v2 camber kit, they did the rear camber arms (dunno why), and except compliance bushings, which I can do myself. Just a couple bolts and the 2 nuts, yea? DIY yo!

CBF taking moar pics, new rubber looks like new rubber. Meh.
Thanks JDMyard! Supporting local business.

Here's the NEW Hardrace front engine mount bushings (which I got awhile ago) compared to ones off the B18CR which done approx. ~90,000km, if the kid who sold me the engine is telling the truth. Ignore the disfigured bushing, I did that. :p
The mechanics at JDMyard are pro, undid the nuts within an instant, which I had trouble undoing.

Notice the different designs of the bushings.

What's next?
- Go to wreckers and source an OEM front bumper, and DC2R 22mm rear swaybar.
- Get some tyres changed.
- Go to Supercheap Auto for a new battery, and stuff.
- Acquire Timing kit and obd1 to d2 harness from a fellow Ozhondie.
- ....

This is unrelatedly related, sold my Limited Edition Pioneer 400s set earlier this week for a premium. Most of my funds have gone to the car, hence this phrase, and pic.

the sound of an engine revving under load is better than electronic music.,

^ dis wun. Much to learn young padawan.

Sorry. Barely any update. I only haz one mechanic friend to help me out on the swap, but his schedule is packed as f***! =S

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iU...=w1108-h623-no

Recently got myself a Jazz Vti-s MT. I <3 Honda.


Got these months ago from the dude posted above^. Came from his previous EG.
And they have lumbar hand-pump for lower back support. WTF, FTW, haha!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sA...0=w351-h623-no

Driver's side bolster is f***ed. I'll order a new bolster foam and padding and then follow up a DIY instruction on some forum.

So my 'Type R' interior shall be:

- SR4 Recaros, with DC2R rails.
- Rear DC2R Recaros
- Rear DC2R boot carpet (Attached to rear seats, dunno if it'll fit. Yet to try. I reckon it's likely for a nice fit since EG/DC share the same chassis.)
- DC2R gear knob
- DC2R shift boot cover
- DC2R steering wheel
- DC2R floor mats
- And DC2R space saver, if you count that!
- Genuine Mugen pedals.
(All acquired)

- Getting DC2R carpet by this week, and some other DC2R part.

That mainly concludes my interior.
CEEBS a DC2R dash.
I'm considering an EG6 centre console, since the lack of small storage compartments.


I recently purchased a large whiteboard for the garage, because project planning.
Ordered off Ebay, single din pocket storage thingy on its way. Yes, speakers are/were out! What's a better sound system that a B18CR weeteec?


What I did today (yesterday).

- Removed alot of driver's door sound deadening tar off, with a paint scraper, then degreaser to finish. (Previous or previous previous.. owner removed the other side's deadening completely, but not the driver's side. I know, my car's dodgey as fk, but wait till I mention about the wiring...

- (I got another spare interior set last year, alot cleaner, better condition that my existing interior)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FD...=w1108-h623-no

Top: Is my Si trim.
Bottom: From memory, I think it's from a '94/'95 Gli.

Dat darker trim matches up to my Type R interior. :D

Antenna delete, because future racecar, weight reduction!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/we...=w1108-h623-no

Acquired OEM block-off plate off Ebay dunno when. (BTW, make sure you order a RHD one, if you do. You may want to order a new rubber seal as well.)

That front screw doesn't screw in as deep as the other, so the fitment isn't tight as the front end. Dunno if a thin piece of rubber will hold off the rain? Should I apply some (what) kinda sealant? The A pillar leads down to the wiring beneath the dash.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/eY...s=w351-h623-no

Ordered a kitchen scale. Will see how much I've removed.

progress is slow.

Ay, slow n steady wins the race. Talking about Ozhonda's slowest build...

THA- DA!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pD...4r7ivW=s699-no

FINALLY. I have wanted to do DIS for nearly 2 years!

Will decided whether or not to respray da engine bay. Yes or no? Only cost about 500 dolla.

All thanks to Mr Jonno Chow for coming to help, because he wanted to borrow my engine crane. Brother from another asian mother!

Strapped in! At this moment, we still had a few things to disconnect. Silly us noobs.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_j...=w1243-h699-no

YAY! :)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5M...=w1243-h699-no

EG56 Type R in the making, yo!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hM...=w1243-h699-no

Silly me, I thought I could use the stock engine harness, Jonno realised that the plugs compared to the B18C are different. So I need to get a suitable harness.

These plugs were too hard to disconnect, even with 2 asian man powa. Ended up cutting da wires.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4M...=w1243-h699-no

Need to go to work now, will update moarr later.

I lold

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ox...A=w394-h699-no

Couldn't get any of these joints including the upper one to come off (except for one side of the steering rack). Soaked in WD40, hit them hard as fk like a firetruck's cannon, to no avail. Ended up turning and pulling the wheel assembly and just got enough clearance for the driveshafts to slip out of the hubs.
Any tips, Ozhondies? Heatgun, blow torch? What should I do?

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sn...W=w394-h699-no

Here are da mods that I have hoarded, well most of them. Experienced Honda nuts, please review my list and feel free to make any comments/suggestions/mod recommendations. Of course, I will be getting moarr parts. These parts will get me going, into essentially an EG Type R and beyond (basically all the goodies of a DC2R), cute little street-able 4 banger, setup to able to perform out-fkn-standing on the track.

I may have mentioned that I am building a quality EG Civic with mainly JDM parts (Jdm yo), and quality USDM parts. I DO NOT want to use any cheap, fake parts. (except for my front lip and single din pocket, and the PLM products). I will be going ALL OUT on this EG, the love my life, with no expense spared (within reasonability and functionability compared to cost, ie, 2 core instead of 3 core radiator, and cheap rear blank discs instead of DBA T3s which are about x4 more costly).
