Wow thanks for the compliments Anon22,
I try to look after it and keep it looking in good condition :)

Good looking EK1 mate,
Those XXR wheels set it off nicely

Great looking EP3 Icebox,
The wheels suit the car well :)

@mocchi - Took it to Dubbo Windscreen Specialists when I was back home for the holidays and they did the cut/reset on the window for me.

Sure thing mate! The small bit of rust repair i got cost $ 100, then it was another $120 for the rear glass cutting and resetting.. I believe that a more visable spot like that near a rear wheel...

Hey everyone!

This is an update of what happened over the University break to the EK:

- There was a small spot of rust in the seal of the rear hatch window. So I had the glass cut out and then...

Wow excellent looking FD! Love to see more!

Thanks for that. Just wanted to make sure of what I did and if it could be improved.
10w - 30 next time I think

Hey guys,

Did a service of my car recently, changed the oil filter and did fresh oil.
As per manual in my car from Honda, I used 10W-40 Castrol oil. Its on the upper end of the temp scale...

Sorry for the long period between posts of this car build.
Money has been a little tight due to univeristy and those sort of things.

Im on my university break now so I decided to do a little bit...

Thats a good boost in power than what the stock motor puts out at the moment. Cant wait to get the project under way in the future.
Well thats not to much for the quality of a BB turbo that will...

Yeah stock motor is in good shape, only just ticked over to 100K and gets its service in 2 weeks when im home on uni break. Hence the contemplation for the little turbo set up :)
Getting a T28BB...

Thanks for all the good advice guys, its giving me lots of food for thought.

Im leaning towards either doing a turbo on the d series for some fun and a little bit more power under the hood. Or...

I agree with you joe.teg,
A K series would be an absolute monster to drive and use on the track. Just for the cost that I would have to do to get it to happen may be out of my league.
As I said, im...

Good ideas coming in guys,

Fraser, I didnt think about buying the integra VTIR damaged whole car for all the bits that I need.
Would even be better if i could pick up a rare late model DC2r...

Ah interesting choice there infurNOS, didnt think about a B20 style build up.. I do like the idea of uniqueish builds like d and b20's due to many ppl going the straight up b16/18 route. Since I...

Interesting options guys,
What are your reasons for these choices?

Assume that i can spend the money on the swaps while saving up. (probs not K swap thou )

Hey forum,

Im thinking about what engine performance modifications to do to my EK1 civic in order to perform great on the streets and for some form of hill climb/track events.

This is taking...

Yeah my vote is to go for the twin loop system.

Ebay exhaust would be loud as hell and make for a cop magnet.
And the twin loop sounds nice on a civic IMO

Hey everybody,

Update on the headlights.
Ive put in some 5400K headlight bulbs and they definately are an improvement in the lighting that I can see at night.
They also give off a white...

Put new headlight bulbs in, 5400K hi/lows ;)
Much improved night driving.

Thanks for the advice grifty,

Ill look into some Phillips bulbs in town tomorrow. Definately will improve the lighting for night driving :)

Cheers,
Steven

Hey everybody,

Sorry for the long time between replys, uni work seems never ending and time gets away pretty fast.

Thanks for the photos Jacob,
I appreciate the effort in taking the photos of...

Cheers for the ideas Peppy,
I appreciate the low cost mods for the car, sucks when money is low but you do what you have to do. im thinking of checking the wreckers around here and Sydney for some...
