Why is the D16Y8 better than the Y1? From what I can see, the Y1 is also a SOHC V-TEC, has more power (2hp lol), more revs and a lower V-TEC switch-over... To me, it sounds like a better engine. As...
Trust me, I was in your exact position a few years ago when I first got my EK. But since then I have done a tonne of research and slowly formulated a plan. It has swung back and forth between a D16...
Yeh, helps heaps, thanks. I have learnt basically everything I need to know about the build from online (mostly Ozhonda :P), but I have a few mechanic friends and most of all, I am not afraid to...
OK, so I have been toying with the idea of keeping my EK1 for the next few years and investing some money in it to make it a really nicely modified Daily as well as a bit of track work.
I gave them a call, they were the same as everywhere else I have tried. They all have brand new parts, none have used parts (meaning I will have to pay for painting).
You might not find any in Australia. I bought an after market pair of black-backed headlights off eBay from America. Including postage it was $300 for the pair, so not too bad...

I think its only a matter of time till we see a heap of CR-Z's getting converted and modded. With a bit of work and lot more power, they are going to be some SWEET cars...
And as far as sound goes, you get what you pay for. I have a Kenwood head unit, Kenwood 6x9's in the back and Infinity 6.5's in the front. Is got great sound quality and volume, but to really use the...
Headers don't give you a huge boost, probably only 10hp or so, but they increase throttle response. I about to buy some D-series headers for $130 of ebay. They got decent reviews of the guys here, so...
I'm going to take it that you are talking about an EK civic? I have a EK1 (pre-facelift - CXi) in the Green, I love the colour now, am getting the whole car resprayed with a fresh coat of the same...
No, because your engine manages the input of fuel based on the throttle. The fuel only burns once its in the cylinders so how fast it burns wouldn't have any effect on usage. And if its more...
