Good stuff Russ. Been contemplating prepping up my EG for rallying now that I barely use it. I'll probably wait for a ready-to-rally Civic to pop up and save the hassle though. A while off yet, so...
The kms is a bit of a worry. I'm not sure what engine it is and how durable they are. The lude is a good car and would suit the driving... mainly country...
I like the look. I probably prefer the brilliant simplicity of the EG, but this might grow on me. If they actually imported them, I'd consider it as my next car.
It's very blue. I'd say a well designed paint job could address the proportion issues and bring out the best in the car. Could probably use a tasteful wing, 'cos there's something about the rear I...
Oh, I have to say one of the highlights of the race was in the first 20secs... Webber's overtaking of Raikonen... around the outside!! Brilliant move. It totally screwed Kimi, 'cos he couldn't get...
EG looks way better. I dare say it would come down to what rubber they're on. Good tyres on an EG really brings the handling to life. I can only vouch for the EG5, not EG6... but given the choice,...
I was making the same decision a while ago. I've been on the Bendix but they didn't hold up to spirited driving... fade after a couple of stops. OEM have been excellent. I wouldn't track them but...
What a stupid race, seriously. Worst race of the season. The camerawork was crap, the commentary was absolutely woeful!!! I couldn't believe how bad the commentary was, maybe they're both short on...
No sweat Andy, just want as many opinions as I can get to make a good decision for my driving and learn a bit about clutches and flywheels in the process. :)
My car understeered a bit when I had the old Michelins on it... bought a set of Goodyear F1 GS-D3s for $600 and suddenly BAM awesomely neutral handling! But my car is a hatch and I drive it pretty...
Actually, I quite like the way my EG VTi handles it... I can tell when it's going to crunch by only applying a little pressure. If there's resistance, it's going to crunch so I chuck it in another...
Oh no, dont make this about flywheels!!! I've just convinced myself not to get the TODA flywheel! What benefit would I get? Sure it would rev really nicely but when I'm hauling around my 3 lazy...
It's nearing 100,000km now and as far as I know it's the original clutch. I got the car about a year ago and the clutch was fairly worn then. It's not slipping in the higher gears yet, but it's...
Cheers Kyle, that's the way I'm looking at going. Just wanted to make sure there's no glaring reason I'd be stupid not to get heavy duty. Never driven a car with a heavy duty clutch.
My clutch is about to give up so I'm trying to decide Exedy heavy duty or Honda standard for the replacement. I've searched the forum for pros and cons and this is what I've come up with.
I've had reverse trouble on both Civics I've owned. Dont force it, just wait until it'll go in nicely. I find that if I put it in 3rd then reverse, it goes in without complaints.
