I have pdfs on the JDM EF series somewhere. I think it includes a version that matches the Aussie ED. Will see if I can find it

That's not even mid-life crises numbers on a Honda :D

Given that my EF9 didn't ever have its B16A opened up and did over 300K kms... it took a bus to stop it from running.

I like what you are doing with this - I've always had a soft spot for ED/EF/EE Civics. Re the piping, if it's blowing a lot of oil into your intake, there's an internal leak somewhere, possibly valve...

Welcome to the PY club. Best colour IMO :)

I have a couple of sets of spare grey wheels - don't go white - they forever look dirty :D

I don't think so. Or at least not for another 20 years. The XU1 has Bathurst links from the 70s as does the A9X, GTHO and Charger. All built in Australia by Australian "icon" companies and are part...

I'm in the same boat. I sold my (genuine VIN) A9X Torana for 10K in the 1980s and thought that I was doing pretty damn well - now I wish I'd kept it!!! A guy I used to hang out with then sold his...

They should be able to colour match the paint, not just use the factory code. It looks incredibly lazy work and the fit on the panels is ****ing terrible.

I own the car but bought it minus the turbo gear. There used to be a feature article on it but the website is gone sadly as his work was...

PM DL001 on these forums - he's actually done all of this as opposed to those that theorycraft

200K kms on a high revving motor in a car which has probably been hammered at some time in its life. I'd want the price to be right and TBH, would always buy a lower km car unless I was familiar with...

You might want to check out ClubITR.com.au

Thanks guys - just walking around the car listing parts - my OCD has kicked in badly and anything with even a little scratch on the plastic is getting replaced :D

I'm really struggling to find parts numbers for my DC2R - most of the sites in this thread are US based and 'tegs are Acuras not Hondas. My VIN doesnt work with any of the sites either. Has anyone...

Ummm... no. I did a US order on parts (infinitely cheaper than buying in Aust) and went nuts buying things including seals, gaskets, injector rings etc as pre-emptive maintenance on a car with over...

I should have put in a caveat that it's not true I guess :)

You know, I'm pretty sure I said "Honda Australia" in my post :)

BTW, I buy most of my parts from the UK/US for both my cars - it's cheaper because no Aussie Honda/BMW-tax :D

For my DC2R I drop in Royal Purple 5-30 (45K kms) and switch to 10-40 if the ambient temp soars. Given that I change oil at 4 months or 3000 kms and that it's my weekend ride, the months come up...

You think that's bad? Honda Australia want 1300 bucks for a new ITR compressor.

Stuff that.

Finally put the Mugen baffled sump on. The original had been tapped for a turbo return line but when I checked the oil level I noticed the dipstick was dry (actually, there was 3 litres in the sump...

One of my friends found the same thing in her DC2

As an FYI for people thinking this is the way to go, from their FAQ:
:(

1300 is excessive for parts alone, but Honda Australia/Dealers are know to gouge massively.

When I had my Exedy fitted (to replace the brutal 6 puck Stage 4) I had to shop around as prices varied...
