Was playing around, trying to get my Tunerveiw screen thing to work. Was plugging and un-plugging the screen in while the car was on. Possibly have wiped my ECU. Car is currently running in 'Limp' mode.... My engine tuner has the ECU now and is going to check it out for me on Monday. Hopefully it is an easy fix. But could possibly be completely wiped and will need to go back onto the dyno...... Find out on Monday I guess...

there's a hook which clamps and mounts onto the chassis door frame.

I have the shorter one, the one with four clip points would be more ideal

it uses the model specific feet, then the short roof extension bars with the kits universal front and rear bars and clips together in less than 15mins :) and locks in 6 places, awesome product :) use mine for my bike, going to bunnings for wood and other things :)

got a CF spoon wing for it

odd headers, ES shifter bushings, vtec gasket, samco hoses

when i do get the deflector i'd most likely get the longer one, and i wouldn't mind getting the bike mount and roof box for it haha

Nice, i wish i bought some genuine Yakima racks. only my fairing is genuine

had a friend help me install headers today. Full exhaust tomorrow if they can fit me in.

Nice! Looks neat as. Did you follow the DIY on here? It looks like it would only take like 20 minutes, but is heaps effective!

yeah i did, took me 3 hours, 2 hours were trying to get my FINAL nut off! i ended up shredding it up. i suggest using an 8mm spanner and NOT shredding the nuts! right light came off a dream, all 3 on the left came off perfect but then that 1 in the corner behind the car frame gave me HUGE troubles; ended up getting it off with the hugging bit of a 8mm, god i was happy. Used a hole cutting piece for the drill, bulb casings fit PERFECT, held together with high adhesive tape and did all the wiring in about 20 minutes for both, dont tape/shrink the wires in place until you test the light and make sure brake wire is to the cars brake wire and the park is to cars park, left one i had to switch around, took 30 seconds then i just electrical taped it all up firmly, put the rubber casing back on, screwed it back in and there i have ek9 lights for free!

Sangyz,

You need pretty much every wiring from the ek9 to heater core to blower to get it working.

Removed my OEM window visors, up for sale now. Also spray painted a white door black. Looks shit but Not really too fussed :p suck it.

aww...sad lol! i been waiting to upgrade to the 99-00 centre console.. but like... im mega LAZY haha ! there was a point i was ABOUT to do it! then i bailed == oh wells ill see how things go after july XD

weighed SR3 Recaros:

18.7kg (with EK9 rails/sliders) - 4.0kg (guesstimate for rails/sliders) = 14.7kg approximate weight

will compare to stock EK1 seats when I remove :)

it wouldnt be that much, stock seats were considerable heavier than stock dc2 vtir seats when i put those in, an sat 1 inch lower :D

What wouldn't be that much? I just literally weighed them so unless my scales are out of whack for some reason I was 97kg holding SR3 seats & rails - my normal weight of 78.3kg = about 18.7kg :)


This thread also says something similar approx 20kg so much the muchness really:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...aro-SR3-Weight


They say they weigh the same as stock, so will be interesting to see what weights I get when I take mine out

Why are roof racks and sun visors on Civics in fashion now? They're the daggy accessory your mum always had on her wagon, but never used. It just seems as if guys got bored of tacking spoilers and bars onto their cars, and needed something more to stick onto their rides instead? Or is it a backlash against the supposedly cool but entirely non-functional spoilers and kits, which are replaced with ugly but functional accessories? Do people really find these things to be aesthetically pleasing, or are they really just blindly following some trend from another country?

I really just don't understand what the thinking is behind putting these things on your cars. Unless you're a surfer.

Well said good sir, well said haha

roofracks i can understand if you surf, ride a bike etc. Other than that tho... and what is it with mudflaps? Seriously, where do they think they're going to go with their 19 inch chrome rims and 4 inch lowered suspension... honestly.

Well said Indie.

Mudflaps look great, they protect the side of your car if you are running more aggressive wheels than standard, and if you are serious in creating an 'OEM+' themed car they should definitely be on your list of things to do imo.

X2, I prefer the clean oem look a set of mudflaps give. Rather than a rear lip.

I spent 7K on bits n peices

BAHAHAHA not tellin on what its a project secret:zip:

People prefer different things, to you it might be ugly but not to others.
I like OEM visors because they make the car look clean and complete and i also like to wind down the windows abit when its raining.

And for Roof Racks i have no love for them and honestly think they look crap on hondas.
