yeah if you get no noise, you cant complain.
the best way to run the wires are...
speaker wire together.
remote wire can go with the main power.
and rcas with them self.
the noises you can get are reving sound though your speakers or subs
they can be hell anoying.
if you enter sound comps they can pic up these noises which could cost you point
so if ya can do it. Do it
if not do ya best lol
Had to add a pic

Doesnt really fall under today.. but i bought my 97 ek4 last weekend as my first manual car..
Loving the sound of the b16 crossover.
1 Previous owner immaculate interior / exterior (Minus the expected small dings of a 15 year old car) full log book history and came with:
- Cold air intake
- Full header / catback exhaust 2.5" through (Loud as but remedied by buying a adjustable cannon silencer)
- King springs
- 17" Rims .. Which mind you are for sale as i think they are too big (oh and they scrub alot... --')
- Aftermarket Headunit / AMP / 6x9's
- Type R style grill
Plans:
- Front and rear lip (Bought and are being shipped)
- Better 16" rims
- Colour coding of mouldings / lip / grill
- Foglights
- Blacked out headlights
- Coilovers

Thanks for the constructive comments. Car is sitting with Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers.Quote:

thanks man, i now know how to modify my car like the cool kids!
tbh i have always liked the black bonnet, did it too my silvia.
as my dad says people in the 80's were doing it but in flat black, and now its JDM lol
i plan on getting a carbon bonnet instead of painting it black
+1 on carbon bonnet
would only rock a black bonnet if mine got damaged and i had to buy a new one and cbf repainting or if it was CF
like the scene from The Castle
can you move the crx to get to the falcon to move the corolla to get to the civic lol
yeah bru they all park in the back nicely. all 7 of them
plus i can turn em around
so good lol
I hate the black bonnet too but im not gona DIY spray a bonnet with spray cans. Prob end up looking worst.Quote:

got a wheel alignment which is the last step in my coilover install. got skunk2 pro-s II's. they're a bit bouncy for my liking but the handling is awesome on good roads.
then went for a drive and took a few photo's!

next step is painting the wheels fully black to get rid of that 4 spoke look.
nice ride mate ^^^

My EK is a dark green (I'm sure you've all seen it - fairly common Civic colour).
Should I go with the Black or Chrome housing?
I'm not a huge fan of the Chrome, but I'm worried the black will blend in too much with the dark green and look odd, or bland, even. Opinions?

in my opinion, ek9 tail lights would look the best on your car, but i don't think the dark altezza lights would look bad at all. i would go dark over chrome.
Well, one of the best suggestions that I've heard is the bolt that holds your back seat down.Quote:

Do you know how to disassemble your back end? (All plastic moulding, boot floor, spare tire and back seats)
*edit*
I just headed outside and had another look, and here are the other good spots I saw.
Where your spare tyre goes, there is a bracket that the long bolt you use to hold it in place goes.
There are pre-threaded holes that'll be solidly welded in place under the little plastic discs 300mm on each side of your boot latch. I believe these holes are intended for anchoring child seats to.

cheers!
Sounds good. You know how to pull out the upright parts of the back seat? It makes accessing that area a ton easier.Quote:

Do you know the spots I'm talking about? They're not right next to the latch, but like I said, 30cm on each side. I'd take a photo, but I couldn't be bothered working out how to post images. ;)

Just wondering where the best place to find the parts to do a facelift conversion would be? Just ebay the bumper, hood, quarter panels, lights... Do you have to change subframe?
no need to change rad support
goto a wreaker yard and wreak a facelift ek
that way its all OEM. headlight bumper guards and bonnet
EDIT : and grill too !
Damn I love black ek's
What rims you gonna get dude?
you don't need to change the rad support however, you'll need to modify it in order to fit the fl bumper on properly. you'll need to cut a little bit of the rad support (with an angle grinder or similar) in certain areas to fit the bumper on so that it aligns with the other panels. i think you'll also need to drill a couple of new holes on the rad support as the original holes will not line up with the holes on the fl bumper and you won't be able to screw it in properly. a little hard to explain but i hope this makes sense.Quote:

Put in my spoon carbon mirrors today.. pretty straight forward besides the wiring... the wire colours were full different to the stock wiring.. i got them to work but left n right on the switch is up and down on the mirrors lol.. must have to swap a wire over but cant be effed for now.
didnt know spoon mirrors were electric
Obviously they are reps
Viinnh! Ek is low man! Looks good!!
went around a roundabout, lost it.

So now the cars with no abs, an must say feels much better for some reason hahahaha... kinda has more pedal feel to it when braking...
But on the hunt for abs sensor for right hand front, so if anyone has one, the line, socket, sensor itself, let me know asap... the abs light is annoying to look at
cut the abs wire off the cluster or put duct tape over it
Yer duct take would be better less mucking aroundQuote:

The padding isn't huge in them, but see how they go - good thing is you can always unvelcro the head pads and add more padding inside if you need it.
Oh, should keep the gf happy too - she won't keep banging her head on the back of the seat anymore LOLZ :)

Lol yep I have the same in my car. Bit bouncy but maybe that's my spring tension in relation to the dampening curve. Need the motivation to adjust lol
