Cheers man :D Its a Replica Lip. I've been qouted alot of OEM lips in the US but shipping Cost $800> so i guess a $150 rear lip will do for now. Back to more sanding T_T
The Access Lip Looks Amazing aswell, I did consider that at one stage.

nice work kenny, coming along good..
p.s - you still owe me a oil cap lol
Kenny you've come a long way from back when we were obsessed with the old school life.
If the pictures are anything to go by, you did such a good deed letting the 9 go.
Go hard mate.
Matt, eeerrrytime I look for wheels for my other civic on gumtree your? J-speeds come up. A sign perhaps?
LOL i don't look up sydney stuff because shipping is always going to be abit ontop which is more then the standard value of the item ><" and im a tight asian haha

LOL yeah give me some 16x8 +35 for my 21st cb! ;) I'd literally come by to your house and give you flowers HAHAHA!
And yeah i have that yellow em1 on regas, it looks nice as, maybe in the future, it may look like that LOL.

You should know aye!! ;) Grats on the lip bro, how much did you pick it up for? Baller hard! This is how mine will look like after my 205/50s and my red centrecaps!

BTW matt, jelly man... always wanted a set of SSR or work miesters, are u running a 195? prbs explains why tire looks small
since were playing show and tell, well its been ages, but his how my car sits atm 15x8... tad too wide for my liking since im running not much camber lol, have reverted back to running my Weds Tc005 for a dd but keeping the wider rims for track, aiming for 225/45 fronts and 205 50 rears :D

Nah bro running 185/55 which is kinda really small. Apparently the guy i bought it from was like when he imported it the tyres came with it so he didn't bother changing it. I'll change to 205s when these are worn out. Gotta make the most out of it LOL. And hows the scrubbing issue going with the 15x8s? And far 225/45s? on the P1s?
185 cannot handle weetec power,need at least 205 for stick on road
Got some new tyres for hulk today
60 bux a pop for kumho ku31's.. 300 bux delivered to my door. Not bad if you ask me, as other tyre places charge me 120 a pop

Got mine here 300 delivered
Sedan clan - where it's at!
Google international tyre trader
40 bux postage for 4 tyres
I was so tempted to get the toyo 888's for hillclimb events and track, but chickened out and gave the kumho's a try
Mate had these on his ek gli, only had ek9 swaybars,cusco coilovers and these tyres and did very well during our enclosed downhill touge run, even gave my old ek9 a scare
Thanks bud much appreciated
EK9 was a good car, don't get me wrong, it really lived up to the hype (towards the end before I sold it)
Best thing I done to it was actually getting the car corner weighted and getting the suspension leveled out, it really handles like its on rails now.
But with that car, I couldn't do anything, if I did something to it, I'd get criticised for ruining such car.
So, sold the 9, paid 3k for ek4 (for the price I paid? I've probably spent more fixing it/parts/mods then the car itself)
Also, I can do so much more, it's like having an empty plate at a buffet, fill it up with food and go hard
As with the ek9, plate was already full and adding anything else to the car was like adding soy sauce on spaghetti

New power antenna and mast feeder put in

Thanks dude... Yeah 15x8 +25
Umm got a grey that is pretty much spot on with oem ek9 ones, just not as glossy/reflective.
Bought a gear knob and hook up the wiring, should be back onto the road very soon :)

currently going over my options atm
k-swap is off the list (no A/C, there is but it is a big hassle)
Turbo the b16a (would be good for straight line, but i'm not sure if the block would take that kinda punishment on track)
B18cR(this is at the top of my list atm)
B20 conversion (if i can't find a descent b18cr then i'll get the b20 and stuff the block with goodies)
i'll be doing everything myself, so i'm saving alot of $$$$
i'm going to be entering Auto-x and hill climbs too, so my focus is handling and a little more torque/usable power)
I've just replaced the old thermostat,was so knacked it didnt even move
avid tuner mounts (62a) car rattle like a snake now
hard-race torque mounts
k tuned shifter with spoon aluminium knob
Removed intake manifold and throttle body, cleaned and polished the throttle plate
De-carb'd the engine (so much smoke,neighbours thought my house was on fire)
inner and outta tie-rods
steering rack adjustment (best mod/fix i've done ever in my entire life)
car goes really good now,engine doesn't lag like it did when i got her, engine mounts previously were knackered too (every single one was broken)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pssgpt3so6.jpg
Rear mount was a *&^%$, did'nt have to remove the rear bracket to install the new mount which was a bonus

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps0ot7vbuv.jpg
K-tuned shifter is the shiz,had an ebay special previously and it was a night and day difference. even compared to my old ek9,it just feels more fun and inspiring whenever I shift

epic start to the journey,hope she does well in the upcoming months/years
I'm having more fun with this car then the EK9, with the EK4 I have to start from nothing,adding all the bits and pieces is bloody fun and satifying. But with the EK9, it was already done from factory,doesn't need any mods/parts. Reason why i sold white pearl, just got boring as there wasn't 1 thing i could do to it.
thanks for reading and comments fellas,you've been my inspiration to stay in the game(after all these years) and continue to hone/sharpen my skills
kenny
Boost it kenny, a b16 can safely make 160kw, 180kw on a more aggressive tune and 200kw on E85 all on stock sleeve and block easy, if u knw what parts to find u can usually make ur own setup for under 3k easy! or better yet source a 2nd kit for 2.5k and slap it on, and u b spanking those b18cr swapped ek all day long lol
and as far as track, dont worry about the block, as long as u have a air-to-air oil cooler and bigger radiator fitted u shouldnt have any prbs on track with a boosted setup, all comes down to how well u setup ur cooling system for ur car
200kw with E85? I think you mean with 98 Barry :P
Kenny you are best of doing an LS/VTEC for good torque but still being able to rev the **** off it
I've got cast manifold, dump and wastegate/dump here atm
Also got some RC550 injectors too
Need a t3/t4 turbo, Garrett 50 trim?(.63)
Need cooler pipes and hondata s300 to finish it
I'm looking at about 200-210 kW atw, possible on 98 pump fuel?
And would sleeping performance be able to tune it
Hi guise i'm back, for some reason Ozhonda stopped working on my computer for a long time. Welp here's a pic from this weekends Honda Social. The guards are munged from a kangaroo btw.
