I just made it out of 6mm MDF and some 12mm dowl. Smoothed the edges and then gave a it a few coats of spray putty, quick sand with 400grit then flat black paint. I'll take a photo and post it up
Actually, she ain't a coffee drinker. But she still needed something to put her water bottle in. I ended up making it in the same spot as where the original one would go, but the originals tend to...
Haha, nar, its just an EK. Restored because the paint was faded to pink and it was hit in a few areas and repaired. The CXi seems to be the base model with things like manual windows and basic dash...
Nar, no plans for the engine. She thinks its quick, thats good enough for me, haha.
The spare is still under there, the whole breakdown on the install is in the stereo section. Its hinged, so you...

We sold the charade we had as a daily runner and decided to get an EK Civic hatch. She took a real liking to it, and since it had been awhile since she drove something more sporty I decided...
EK's are easy. Remove trim, then 2 10mm bolts need to be removed. Then carefully twist the handle frame till it pops towards the outside of the door skin. This is the hardest part. Take care and...
Yep. If you look carefully, you'll see that I took a mould of the inside of the spare wheel. Luckily the spare sits upside down in the spare wheel well. So I was able to leave it in its position,...
PVC and Wood screws. Siliconed all the corners, top, bottom and sides from the inside to make 100% sure there was no leaks.
The rear of the box (nearest the backseat) has hinges that I have glued...
Just made a false floor and hinged it at the rear. Used the spare wheel's cavity for added box volume. Sounds great and works a treat. Still allows her to use the boot for shopping too.
Also, I don't think you'd notice the difference too much if you had the chance to listen to the 2 boxes side by side (unless you have a trained ear for this kind of stuff). Don't go using insulation,...
As the others have suggested, do all of the above. If all else fails, just get yourself an RCA filter. They are $20 from Jaycar and work a treat. You plug the RCA's from the head unit into the filter...
Hey gang
I just wanted to know if anyone has taken there EK1 CXi Hatch for a blat down the qtr and what times they ran?
Or if anyone knows what times this things ran when tested from new.
I agree with some of the comments on here. Blown HG that isn't mixing with oils, could be fine for years. The little tool that the mechanic used it to show you that exhaust gas (from the combustion...
The spread of the sound from a tweeter is very minimal. So they should be pointing towards a point that you choose. Whether it be your head or the centre of the car. I tend to aim both the tweeter...
Thanks guys. It look 38L to fill, and going by it having a 45L tank, I had a few more kms before it would have come on. Spewing, I want to see it come on. I try harder next time. Thanks again for the...
Hey Gang
I just want to know if anybody knows at what point the low fuel light turns on for a EK1 CX Civic. I ran it till it was well in the red and still no light turned on.
I've made a tutorial on pods before for another forum. I'll try to track down the pictures though as thats probably the hardest thing for me to find, due to it being 8 years ago
2MPRS, sure can mate. Although its not the best location for tweeters to be so much closer than the woofers. You will find that you'll get better sound with the tweeters actually further away than...
