Thinking to save some weight through swapping my heavy standard battery to a lightweight race style one, looking for suggestions and advice.

Using the car for circuit and hillclimbs and driving to...

Finally got around to removing my A/C for a bit of a weight save, 13.25kg according to my calculations.

Just in case anyone is interested... some good venues.

Seat belts might have been changed to meet ADRs when your EG6 was imported so dates on the seat belts may not be the build date of your car. Mine were two years out. I found a production date in my...

Yeah, about two years ago in my EG.

Could it be the rear seat latch, you know the one you undo to fold the seats down, I had that in my MY12 Vibe S. Common issue apparently, free fix by the dealer. They just wrapped some cloth tape...

I was running 16x7 with a 205/45/16 but have gone down a size to 15x7 with a 205/50/15, mainly due to the fact there was really not much tyre choice in the 16 inch size. I haven't yet been able to...

1991 EG9, July 1991 according to the date stamp on the interior trim...

Not sure if there are any off the shelf kits for sedans but, I'm interested to hear some more about your car too... and your experience with preparing your Civic to compete in a Targa event.

My EG passed a VicRoads and an EPA inspection with a filter set up like that, legal as long as the filter is not 'oiled'.

Hey, how did you go?

Yeah, those lights look cool, I was going to buy a set from the local Honda dealer when I was in Japan earlier this year but the "other half" wasn't convinced as we didn't have a Jazz to put them on...

Hey,

Has anyone got and recommendations for a good set of street tyres (205/45/16)?

Good performance but afforable, they will be for street driving only but good grip for a mountain run once in...

15x7 +41 with 205/50/15

Black looks cool, can't wait to get mine, only one more sleep...



Kind of pays to shop around if you can, the first dealer I went to gave me the impression they weren't going to budge at all,...

I ordered a black one which was the colour I was after, I was pretty lucky I think...

Walked into a dealer today and ordered a Jazz Vibe S, got a deal I'm very happy with too... two weeks or there abouts to wait, I'm excited.

Here's another video (same day) from the outside loop...

I took the baby seat out of the car and went up to 'Haunted Hills' on Sunday, did the figure 8 circuit for the first time.

Tyres weren't ideal for the conditions... 3 year old semi slicks, a...

Found this in the Osaka Tomica Store yesterday... if only they made an EG9...

This would be up there... that's a 6 litre V8 from memory.

How would that work with something non-permanent like a bolt in cage?

Don't tell me you'd have to resigter as a 2 seater and then re-register as a 5 seater again when you remove it!

Yeah, I know, it's good to do an event where the little Hondas are consistantly up there in the top of the results.

Got any times for your DC5R?

Hot is after a track session, trust me they're going to get much hotter than any road driving you can do.
