so i sold my EK1 and got a EJ8. just liked the look of the coupe' abit better and wanted a lil upgrade. i've done a few little things so far; painting and such.
work to be done
coils, rota wheels, control arms, front lip/grill, camber arms.
cant decide on fog lights!?
im looking to do a b-series swap aswell, still saving up for it and trying to find what i want :)
will post as much as i can, will be diy most of it.:thumbsup:
looks like a tidy project. I used to have one of these too, great car!
Keeeeeeen! Hopefully will be seeing this beast of a Civic turning up to a few meets!
one day :DQuote:

How does boosting make it a sleeper?Quote:

And why does everyone love sleepers?
cause most ppl would never expect a turbo honda on the streets, not even most police :)Quote:

The shiny pipes will give t away more than a red valve cover though.Quote:
