i think i found my answer - a B16B. Can anyone confirm?
And for EK sedan fans, this has to be, and is my ultimate 4 door Civic. It took this bloke 6 years to get to this stage! A great article to read:

That is beautiful. But the man has to much cash and a little fixation on the Mugen gear. ha ha
Loving the full size spare set up
afaik ferio was b16a not b16b
b16b is in the ek9
Ferio is what they call the civic sedan in Japan.
They came with D16y's and b16a's.
B16B only came in the EK9 civic type R.
I'm sure they also come with 1.5 litre engines or is that just for the auto?
this is the bomb. awesome!Quote:

dude it's for the rear wing?
some times jap brochures show ABS and all that kinda stuff to specify which model it is
i dont think it's a mugen caliper
Ha yep yep, i wasn't inferring ABS was the brakes (I know it refers to some sort of model number for the wing lol) - but you can see the calipers are painted gold.... looks seriously hot...Quote:

And no ABS is not the model number of the wing, its a type of Plastic material.
WOW - those are one nice set of calipers :DQuote:

Yes, ABS is a type of plastic used for lips etc, but I'm not sure what it means in this case, because I have a genuine Mugen Ferio wing on my EK sedan (sorry eg5civic no rice here) and it's definitely fibreglass. As far as I know the Mugen wing and side skirts were both fibreglass (not sure about front and rear lips).Quote:

However, with the metal stands included it weighs 3.5kg!

Alvis where did you get the wing from?
I know they have fakes in the USA as well so hopefully you didn't get it from there
Yeh i didn't know EK4 were in sedans as well - wish I had a B16A under my bonnet lol!Quote:

I also managed to pick up a genuine set of the Mugen badges brand new in the packet as well :) But funnily enough the guy I bought it off (on Honda-Tech forum in US) actually lived in Phillipines.
It has taken me a year to get my car to where it is - all genuine Honda Type R or Honda Access parts from Japan and US - so if you're patient (and have some luck along the way) sometimes it pays off
Here's a link to some of my latest pics:

Original Mugen Ferio wing from seller:

Clean sedan, should of gotten EJ8 / no bumper strip front and rear bars.
colour coded strips look tracky.
And you definately need aftermarket wheels.
