lowin~17rims~foggy~
looks nice man. and LOL @ dodgy Photoshop attempt :D
hows the paint?
haha thanks man, umm the paints pretty good. you can just see under the right head light there is a scratch. but other than that its pretty good for its age. it abit dirty in both pictures. but comes up really good after a wash and polish. ill put pics of it polished up tonight if i have time
any plans for performance? in the future?
Maybe you could have a go at colour coding the mirrors and handles, unless you like them the way they are of course.
awesome, welcome mate..
Well, maybe in a few months ill do a swap for a b16, or if my mate sawps his engine out for a b16 im getting his D16 vtec engine instead of a b16, because i dont have vtec :(
the only time i get to experience vtec is in my mothers jazz. haha
as for colour coding, at first i hated the black and wanted it red. but now i really do like it, and everyone that has egs in newy wants the black stuff of me. haha so im going to stick with the black
I do like that ^ but, its just not me..
anyway here are some ramdom shots
After a good wash

Welcome to Ozhonda :) :wave:

looks good man. guessing the original color was pale white or something?
maybe you can color code the bump strips/skirts or something.
i did mine (ej8) for only 25 bucks per side (silver). $50 total inc. plastic undercoat, two cans of paint, and clear coat on top. better then paying a bodyshop to do it!
take those gay stickers off the back just leave the wakaba one.
interior lights look awsome but (dash)
Nice man :thumbsup:
Tip: make sure you wash and polish her ones a month!!
Welcome to the world of red cars
im thinking the carpet next. but i dont know if i should dye it myself, or ive got a friend of a friend that can make a brand new one in any colour for $140.
the air intake is kind of pointless because its a carby, and its carp. hahaha
looking at a b16 atm tho :):):):):):)
What about the rest of the grey bits? has anyone done there eg interior all black?
if so, did you just paint it or get it wrapped in leather?
been covered a few times, u can buy OEM black interior (frmo eg6)
very pricey and ull need to shop around for quite some time, probably even import it.
as for wrapped in vinyl , most people tend to spray it if anything but frmo the ozh community there hasnt been much commitment to this,
doing your door trims with the grey will look awsome,
or even red!

lol trophies so random.
if your gonna have stickers like that atleast put on front windscreen passenger side lol
should i do a diy on it? if there isnt one?
^^ why not !
ill do it when i have to replace my cluster then. :)
Dose anyone know were i can get 16" rota slipstream wheels from?
ive had a bit of a look but nothing yet
or is it best to just get them from america or something?
from america i can get them for around $900 posted
i just did my cluster, now how did you get your climate control out? my head unit wont budge =/
Its such a pain, you have to take out the bottom of the centre console, then your head unit, then at the back of it all there is one screw, then there is 2 screws facing out from the inside. they are a pain in the ass to get out. then you have to unplug 2 cables that go into the climate control unit. then it should come out.
ill do a diy this weekend for you if you can hold out :)
Thanks! will be looking froward to the DIY thread.
oh crap, my demister button doesnt work now lol, it lights up but nothing happens when u press the button ie top bulb doesn't light up. i tested it with another button and it does the same thing. must have tugged the wires too hard when removing it?
davis fail.
hey guys,
ive done a bit of the diy but not all, ive been pretty confinded to my bed for the weekend being sick so i havnt been out much.
sorry guys will get it up asap
well i had a day of today and decided to do a diy on my lights

can't wait till it's Dropped with Rota's. it will make it look heaps HOT
Coils or Springs??
he said coils timmy lol, geeeez. you're such a spring man lol
Stop Spamming Kyals build thread Will
hahaha, springy timmy
springy chan
so kyal, im assuming the beaks is going in as we speak? lol
Dont get rotas man, they suck. :thumbdwn:
Some OEM 15s would look way better IMHO :thumbsup:
Up to you though ;)
latest, beaks bar... thanks to joel (stai) for installing it :D
http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/w...l/IMG_6759.jpg
yo kyal, get this moved to the build section?
No offense or anything, good progress but this is hardly a 'build' thread. Until some 'real' stuff is done, I think its best to stay here. High school mods such as lights, beginner bolt ons, and new tyres don't count. Otherwise most hondas on this forum would have a build thread of its own.
OEM fat 5s would looks great on this thing tho.
P.s. no hatred, just some perspective.
yeh i know, it will get there tho.. ive just been busy so nothing has really happened to it
but it will be getting an engine swap, new interior, is an ASR subframe with a sway bar and struts a bit better than a beginner bolt on?
altho i do have the money, im still just taking it slow
and im not really a fan of fat 5's, never have been..
Just got these yesterday
http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/w...tlede44e4e.jpg
yup your car wont go low.. i hope you didnt buy them to go low
if u did then you got gibbed..
the rears slam the fronts on the lowest settings has 1.5 inch gap... remove one the plates and it will go 1 inch lower..
Ride performance > being low
Makes corners a barrel of fun.
u need a rpm tacho lol
ive already got an oem one :p
just have not put it up
also i know these were not going to lower it by a lot, ive seen maxed out ones on a civic before so i knew what i was in for.. but im still happy, cant wait to get them in tho
also i thought the front go lower then an inch and a half? because my mate got hes to a finger gap, and they were still not maxed out
Nice car, whereabouts in Maitland do you live?
Ever seen a Blue DC2 getting around? Red p-plates ziptied to the number plate? haha
thanks mate ^ still a lot more work to do
umm i cant say i have.. defo one of my mates have tho, got our little honda clan going around maitland/ newy.. you should come one time
im out at wallalong, its about 10 mins out of maitland..
Yeah, ah ok wallalong. I know of it, have a friend that lives there but never had to go there before.
I live at Cessy but im doing my HSC at St Mary's, so im in Maitland a fair bit.
Yeah that'd be cool, i would like to do a few things to my car before it falls under the scrutiny of other OH members though. haha.
How are the teins going?
hahaha yeh i just put mine up stock as a rock, and started working from there..
teins arnt in just yet.. hopfully next weekend, ive got to get eg6 lca's before i can mount them..
if i was still at school, i would be doing my hsc too, but i left at the end of year 10 and became an apprentice draftsman :D
Yeah i tossed up doing my HSC or an apprenticeship, but I will be going to Uni to do Civil Engineering (Very exciting, will help me with my DC2R and 32GTR in the future :P)
I'd love some teins, my sussy is wrecked haha. Coilovers are next on the List after I/H/E probably go with some Ksports or something.
It'll be good to see the Civic with the Teins fitted, and some Rotas!
yeh, my mate that lives down in newy has the same teins i now have.. he recommended them to me.. being in hes car i think that are worth it..
hes got a silver eg, with shadow chrome wheels.. its a monster. b16a love..lol
a b16a is appealing, but i would probably choose the b18c over it :P
May i ask, why a h22a conversion? why not a b16a (cheaper) or b18cr?
haha yeh, well everything is really up in the air atm..
i think ive scraped the h22a idea now.. just being in one, all it was was WHEEL SPIN (change gear) WHEEL SPIN (change gear) MORE WHEEL SPIN!.. haha by this time the b16 was long gone
so now its down to a b16, or a worked d16
*do note the one my mates b16 he has in his car is JDM, and hes getting 96kw atw STOCK.. so its pretty impressive!
JDM B16A,
Joels's silver EG is a killer, Toda headers FTW. can't wait till that thing is fully worked..
Rory you should just come out sometime so we can meet ya.
who cares if your car is stock, it's a bloody honda and we love it. lol as long as it's not RICE, lol
we need a DC2 in the group..
Hey Kyal the teins would be sooo good if they were in b4 the JDMST on sunday
no teins this weekend, ive got no eg6 lca's..
might be getting a set tho.. so maybe next weekend :D
Wills BuddyClubs N+
your Teins
My gearbox
it's all bloody happening.
Go for the b16a.
Almost bought a crx with a JDM b16a, until i went to say i'd take it and he had hit a pothole with his Giant chrome rims and destroyed the front guard.
Well after the HSC i'll come out! haha, although, it seems alot of people are against the buddy club pro spec which is what im putting on my car, would you call that ricey?
but it sounds great, i have another friend (who doesnt own a honda) who'd probably love to come. He owns THE cleanest supra i have ever seen. he lives in Lorn. (its 100% stock)
and Your mates EG sounds awesome BTW.
No, buddyclub isn't ricy :)
JDM supra? hmmm sure, there a alot of supra's getting round now, lol
Im just glad it's only me and Rondy who own the DC5's lol (i have seen some round bout not modded, just stock and never driven in VTEC lol)
Also Treezy im pretty sure has the only white EP3R in the hunter, (dont take my word for it but i think it's true)............ all in all it's still a Jazz hahaha:thumbdwn:
sick, what coluor supra?
my girlfriend lives in lorn.. and im always around there.. so ive most likely see it
Its a silver supra, it has probably 15 inch rims on it, it has a wing on it.
it is immaculate, what kind of car does your girlfriend drive?
a Jazz is a Jazz :P speaking of Jazz's there is one going around/near Cessnock, its silver with a carbon bonnet and 15 inch racing rims (dont know what type, for some reason im leaning towards BC p1's but i cant remember)
does anyone on this forum own something like that?
and i have only ever seen stock DC5's getting around, although apparently there is a car EXACTLY the same as mine that gets around east maitland.
yeh there are a few red egs going around.. :| not happy..lol
and HAHAHHA danica, drive..lol she couldn drive to save her life..lol shes got like 16 hours on her L's and had them for nearly 2 years.. so she dosnt have a car
but im trying to con her into a honda. hahah :D
[QUOTE=and i have only ever seen stock DC5's getting around, although apparently there is a car EXACTLY the same as mine that gets around east maitland.[/QUOTE]
Hmm there is only 2 modded dc5's that i know about, mine is one lol
umm yeah i seen that DC2, it's tidy, i like it
Haha, fair enough. I remember struggling to drive manual when i got my L's, pretty embarassing.
My mate lives in the first few streets when you come into Lorn.
But yeah there are a few supras getting around, pretty beat up most of them.
and well.. yeah theres a few red EG's getting around.
Well it may have been my DC2, i used to spend alot of time in East Maitland.
my DC2 is a bit rough (paint chips, shopping dings and scratches), but i have seen.. a black and a silver DC5R around my area. Also my Ex girlfriend (soon to be girlfriend again "Love Interest" blah) her mum owns a red FN2R except she drives it like an old person, its so sad. (and no, i was never allowed to drive it :()
I'd like to come cruising with you guys, I'll have to get some more hours at work so i can get my Teg bolted up.
OMG i followed a Silver EG today, dropped with 16"s and a autobarn sticker, was a chick driving..
