Gabriel's EG SI B18c2
Hey team, 2nd time poster, long time listener. I had a 2006 Honda Euro for 10 months, and just sold it. Searched and searched for a replacement, wanting something smaller and more agile, and then i came into this...
It is a '91 Honda Civic EG SI, B18C2 engine swap, as well as a motza of things to go with it. So far ive had it for one day, and love it!
So far my plans are to drop in some HID's to start, and the next is to maybe look into the rims. Some days i hate them, some days i think they look super cute on the EG.
Anyway, let me know what you think! Any thoughts on what you would do with it!

nice clean car, ive seen this on carsales for a while, about time someone bought it.
if your willing to sell them wheels let me know :thumbsup:
enjoy the forum, and upcoming events such as monthly meets and wsid drag nights.
-
those spoon mirrors look really weird or is it just me.
-
prob cos its colour coded
-
i ment the way it attaches to the side of the door.
-
mmm itr cluster, nice clean car
-
i think the strange look is because they sit slightly over the rubber lining of the door seal, so it breaks the line in a way, and looks off. its only day 3 now, time to start taking a look at getting that sorted!
the wheels are probably on the way out, they look cute, but just dont sit right with the style of the car i dont think?
what do you guys think, and more importantly .. recommend!
-
Im looking for HID's for the eg, i dont want too much blue so 6000k is what i desire
h4 hi/lo
what does anyone recommend
any experience with mu secrets and kaixens? they seem to be pretty reputable.. any differences?
-
welcome to the forums!
Nice EG Gabriel - nice and clean =]
ive never seen those mirrors before - they real spoon?
as for HIDs, my cousin has mu secrets on hes ride and when i was buying mine i was tossing up between ebay cheapos and those....i shouldve bought the mu secrets.
brother had kaixens on hes car aswell and they are great.
so up to you really - imo, both are good.
btw - can you post a clearer pic of the itr cluster? interested to see what fitment is like :]
-
Welcome Gabriel.
Interesting colour, not sure if I like it or not. I think it needs some new rims that compliment the Blue. I feel like saying a set of white wheels but that might look a bit strange.
Can you take some more pictures of the cluster? I am keen to see what has been cut away to make it sit right.
-
no no you're right on the wheels, i wanted the type r white rims, but they're 5 studs, and i dont know if i want to get involved in that whole change.. but definitely looking for white rims to replace!
the mirrors are genuine spoon series 1, they give a unique look to the car i feel
the colour coding and the overall colour is different, but when you see it, you'll love it. people are constantly commenting on it!
mu secret, kaixen, or autotecnica - 350, 330, 270 respectively.
will i notice any differences you think? i dont want to pay mu secret just for the branding, if autotecnica has the same gear. i know all of these kids are rebranded to millions of names from the same original pieces...
-
as for the cluster, i will put up a new photo this afternoon when i get home, stay posted
but to ruin the ending for you
it doesnt fit perfectly, which at first threw me, but from the drivers view you cant tell the difference really. the cluster certainly looks good though!
what are the thoughts on eg jdm amber corners..
