Peachy says HI HI, some n00b questions

[Peachy]

Probably one of the best typed up threads for a noob thread. easy to read.

Thanks mate much appreciated . I made sure I did my research. Being a user on another forum for 6 years, I know how frustrating it is to read threads and *facepalm*

was he on P plates?
If you're off P plates it comes down to displacement IIRC.

Great to see someone actually call up instead of just going on here say.
Well as usual the laws sound very ridiculous in my opinion.

Hahaha yeah I figured I might as well get all the facts right cuz there's so much ambiguity on the subject... When's somebody gonna give me some reputations points hahahah :P:P:P

Putting a B16A in doesn't require any structural customisation. Uses standard engine mounting points.

Thanks for the information about the engine mounts, very helpful

When did you get your P's Ben?

Got my green plates October 2008.

his breeze weight is 1 ton. exactly 1 ton from honda civic 1992-1995 specs hatch.

Terima Kasih boss :P

Got my green plates October 2008.

Was that when you first got your license? haven't been on Red P Plates before that?

If you only got your license in Oct '08, the Power to Weight ratio law means nothing for you, your laws are more strict.

[.:Thrasher:.]

his breeze weight is 1 ton. exactly 1 ton from honda civic 1992-1995 specs hatch.

looks like thats a 1.5L Breeze.

MASSIVE bumpage!

Since all these questions about the EG Breeze my car progress and knowledge (although still limited) has been increased dramatically all thanks to my love for Hondas and the countless threads I've read on here from very insightful, educated Honda fan boys (is that derogatory?)
I still have the EG Breeze and I still love it, despite the fact that my girlfriend severely dented the quarter rear panel and passenger door. She took a corner too close and there was a big ass metal pipe protecting the corner of the building. Soft EG shell VS Metal = Metal Wins

Anyway, long story short, after that happened it was time for a new car. I had the usual n00b questions, DC2 vs DC2R, DC2 vs Prelude, DC2r vs Prelude Vti-r, DC5 VS DC2R, DC5R vs DC2R, EP3 Vs DC2R/DC5R etc etc etc. To no surprise, all these questions were answered by all you loving folk at Ozhonda and now I have a DC5R!!!!!!!!

Man this car drives insanely well compared to the good ol' breeze!!! I LOVE IT!!! I picked it up yesterday and today put RE002's on the front.

Anyway, big thanks to all the Ozhonda members out there who provide super useful information, you have made my car decision buying easier!!

Love Love
Ben

Hey there everyone ,

Just new to the forums, joined a few days ago and have been overwhelmed by the amount of information on this site, it's fantastic!

A little about myself, the names Ben, I'm 23, I'm in Victoria, based in Brunswick and have just got myself a 1992 Civic EG Breeze. Obviously being a 1.3litre engine its slow as dogs balls, but being my first car I'm still happy as larry to drive the little bastard around.

So here comes the n00b questions ........ I've done a few searches and couldn't find the proper answers, they've more than probably been asked 1000's of times before, but being a n00b on here I can't seem to find what I'm after so please go easy on me.

Firstly, I've come across the phrase b16, b18 on this site and assume that the number after B represents the capacity of the engine, ie: b16 is a 1.6 litre engine. Does this mean that since I own a 1.3litre Civic EG Breeze that the engine name is B13? If not, what kind of engine do I have?

Also, being in Victoria I understand the legality between modifying your car is different across states. I'm still on my P-Plates (Green) and was wondering what kind of modifications are legal in Victoria for my car. It says on the vicroads site that "Any engine modification that increases the power of the engine" or something, but it's so ambiguous, what exactly is excluded and included within that clause? Am I allowed to install:
- Cold Air Intake
- K&N Filter
- New exhaust
What other modifications can you suggest that will give my 1.3 litre pooper a little more pow?

Also, this question is most probably gonna make a few people *facepalm* but what the hell... In my civic, near the handbrake there is a switch thats just "on/off" - I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell it's for. I've looked in the manual and theres nothing there. Apart from current modifications on the car, it's just had its windows tinted and alloy wheels put on. Any ideas?

Found out that at one point in its life the car must have had neons installed and it was the on/off switch for it. Neons for me.... no thanks :P

The civic also doesn't have the rev display, can you suggest any aftermarket products that can show this? Please link me And if theres anyone in the Brunswick, Melbourne area that can suggest a good mechanic that would be great thanks a buncharino

I posted a wanted add on this forum, and literally 4 hours after posting the wanted ad, I had a new cluster installed. Thankyou OZHONDA and SuiJin for the cluster

So thanks a bunch for having a read and helping a n00b out, very much appreciated!!! Also, if anyone is willing to be a civic mentor for me and help me out with n00bish questions please add me on msn, my address is: benjamin_peach@hotmail.com

Much love all, thanks again

Hey Ben. i'm a noob too but i've had a eg breeze before as well and gone through 3 egs all different .. haha fun little cars..

my eg3 (breeze) had everything setup for track was just missing the engine , but i sold it off for $4000 to get my b series swap eg4.

as for your question about b series - that is a variant of the series of engines which Honda has made, they come in d series, b series, j series, f series, k series and maybe more thats all i can think off from the top of my head . they come in sohc (single overhead camshaft) and dohc (double overhead camshaft) as well as vtec and non vtec . your eg breeze is a d series, d13b2 (same engine as my old breeze) carby 1.3 L Non vtec. yeah i agree with you this engine is hella slow , but got me from point a to point b. Also from my experienced Honda have very reliable engines, my breeze engine never failed on me.

modifcations: yes modifications are usually illegal in most states .. but many people still do it. i myself have never been asked to pop the bonnet of my any of my cars (well any of my hondas) my old toyota cynos got its hood popped and it had a pod filter sticking out (not secured) cops didn't say a thing , just waned to make sure i wasn't running a turbo ( as i'm on provisionals) . You have 2 choices for better air flow , either short ram intake (short pipe to pod filter - go k&n filters my recommendation) , or CAI (cold air intake) - longer pipe which connects to pod filter , but pod filter is tucked behind the tyre out of sight. Advantages of the CAI are that it gives always cold air , however disadvantages would be water getting in and harming your engine. For my breeze i just had a pod filter mushroom pod connected to the carby. When attaching the pod filter onto your carby you can take the clips of your carby and removing the stock filter then clip back on your carby. As for exhaust, i wouldn't really bother , however better flow is always sufficient. You could get a straight through 2 " exhaust (any more and you'd be losing power). or a proper exhaust system made up running a high fly catalytic converter. My breeze was running standard exhaust piping with a x-force twinloop muffler attached, was very quite , but didn't sound stock. For my breeze i didn't really have any engine mods besides the mushroom pod filter. However my car had a nice set of coilovers which made the car grip really well and was just awesome for playing on mountains and stuff. I also had a c-pilar bar, blox lower control arms (polished) , function 7 lower control arm (polished) and beaks bar (polished underneath) .. kinda made a disco . I mainly did my car for looks seeing as i wasn't going to be racing due to no speed. Added a spoon duckbill wing (replica) on , front OEM eg6 lip, civic type r rear lip, wings west style side skirts, debadged, eg6 foglights (not wired up) , amber corners from jdm yard, 15" racinghart wheels in DIY green, headunit and 4 speakers (good sound was just missing the sub), blue led parker lights and installed remote central and alarm for easy of mind, as well as type r gear knob and type r style door trims. My car always got looks and was mistaken for a eg6 many times. Hope this helps, but those are the simple mods i had on my breeze which made it look nice and clean while a simple looking eg6 to others.

Hope this helps !
goodluck with your car

you know what your problem is you dont have a southern cross sticker on the back of your car, get that and your car should be good.
