I looks like the that may be two different types of mud flaps. One for use with Side skirts and rear lip and the other one for use without.
the roof racks have been good for ikea trips, a few small wood projects (driveway mods lol), good for bringing the bike down or up the coast so I don't have to drive the car everywhere, going to get a kayak soon for river stints :)
new ek9 rear engine bracket
more cooling hoses
bolts
x3 1L bottles of MT
Honda coolant in 4L jug
wiper blade inserts
custom itr headers in s/s with nicely done tig welding throughout
took the car to honda for an inspection, modified the exhaust
new walbro fuel pump
stage two clutch kit and flywheel
x1 carton of cider
Installed original OEM cupholder for my 96 gli hatch.. got it for 40 posted from US ebay. Genuine brand new in packaging honda part :)
Was a bit of a bitch to do as I rushed into it and didnt take a note where all the bolts go and how to get the housing back on. But figured it out in the end
I prefer this one with the click up lid rather than the other ones with no lid. This looks alot cleaner
Too bad it doesn't properly fit a 600ml bottle on the right, only 'just' on the left
Oh well no more coffee in the groin or sticky coke in my centre console

never seen one like that before :) heaps cheaper than the fold out ones that the vti has
yeh there are two types for the civic hatch, and theyre different from others. 1st type is what I got, 2nd is the one i was talking about with no lid and comes complete with the top part where as my one was just the bottom part and you just bolt the top part back onQuote:

Theres only one set of mud flaps lol, just that one is painted the other isnt..... If u got a rear lip, the mud flaps wont fit, as the bolts that hold it will be used up with conjunction to the lip, and the flap isnt designed around the lip :)Quote:

picked up microfibre chamios, sponge pad and cloths
Re-furbished my headlights, polished wheels + body, cleaned all interior & made it sparkle like new!
How does she look
need more low and p plates to be in a better spot, other wise not bad
I personally like that ride height. Love the little gap between guard and wheel. Wheels under guards to me look unko. Headlights look sweet clean :D Nice work.
awesome stance :) ^^^^
Thanks for the feedback :) the height is perfect and still scrapes everywhere it's lower in person I guessQuote:

Honda plans to pump out three sports cars in the next three years, despite the crippling impact of the Japan earthquake and tsunami.Quote:

An Accord Euro-sized sports coupe - perhaps a revival of the Prelude - is also in the works. Honda definitely has plans to pump out three sports cars in the next three years, despite the crippling impact of Japan's killer earthquake and tsunami.
There will be some delays, but Japanese sources say the go-faster cars have survived. In the past few weeks there has even been talking about a high- performance coupe powered by a 3.5-litre V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, a concept mentioned by Honda's president, Mr Ito.
The project that really focuses Honda's e fforts is the planned rebirth of the Acura RSX, shown in an exclusive Carsguide illustration.
http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/...-concept-w.jpg
American sources says the RSX will inherit the 2.4-litre, 150-kiloWatt four cylinder engine coming in the ninth-generation Civic. It will also have a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential to feed power to the front wheels.
Honda says the fuel economy in the new engine is improved by 13 per cent with lower CO2 emissions, but that's the story for the Civic, not the RSX. It is expected to take its lead from the current Civic Type R on details such as its interior, as well as the wedge shape, sports suspension and oversized alloy wheels.

Apart from the RSX, Honda sources hint about a "more reasonably priced" sports car concept for the Accord Euro class. This car, which might be like a born-again Prelude, is in strong demand with American dealers and will incorporate Accord hardware.
While the other cars are moving ahead, Honda is also evaluating a success or to the Beat. The original Beat in 1991 was an open-top two-door, mid-engined 660cc minicar with an engine good for 8500 revs, and the next generation promises a new interpretation of that concept with a 1.3 to 1.5-litre petrol engine.

Engine should be really nice in my ek

http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/4428/img0836k.jpg
you just need a EK9 rear lip lol not the whole bar
thats what i meant hahaha
take the badges off right now and itll look much cleaner
i've been thinking about taking off my cxi sticker, and arent the H and the CIVIC bolted in?
they have holes once u take off the badge, so dont take it off, unless u have another badge lined up or plan to bog an paint it upQuote:

yeah type r would look good considering i already modded my lights ek9 style aswell haha, may aswell replace cxi with an adhesive stick on one from ebay or something, jdm is like $100!
edit: nothin to see here.
Are u serious? Type-R badge on a Ek1.......... Stick to the black H badge or dont waste money, an leave it how it isQuote:

yeah not too keen on lowering it too much, my brother lowered his 96 ek1 when he had it about 2.5", he absolutely smashed the shit out of ek9 front bar and genuine mugen rear bumper he had.. shame that it got written off by my sister hahaha it had some nice mods, i might drop mine an inch or so sooner or later, i'll probably have to roll the guards considering i'm sitting on 17s as of tomorrow..
