***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[1996_EK_Civic]

Put some stickers on my fairing today

aggressive much, looks good

i bought a strut brace and gave mine a vacuum

[SuperJDM.]

i think its the grill i honestly hate the grill it self and eye lids but i guess its a perfect pair

[mugen_ctr]

finally colour coded some blk bits still needa do the side skirts and she'll be done for cosmetics

[Alvis]

Those eye lids actually look good. I've always hated them on EK's but you made it work somehow???

Yeh Mugen Civic's car looks great One of the best EK sedans I've seen. Would love to see a Ferio/EM1 wing on ur bootlid one day - IMO that would really set the car off

Awesome Thraed!

Today I put some coilovers into my EK1 sedan



BC Racing BR Series coils with 32 level damper setting.



It took 3 1/2hrs,I fart arsed around a bit..lol,the install was easy,no tricks





Next is corner balancing then wheel alignment!

[Tai]

its too high !!!

still 4wd spec !

[beeza]

They are only a 45 profile tyre..I will get 50's next.

2 fingers gap at the front,1 1/2 at rear.It gives me a 110mm clearance at the front with the lowest point being the H Brace and cat,they are equally low.

So legally I can go 10mm more but the roads out where I drive wont allow for that unless I drive more carefully but I don't haha and will end up smashing something up under there.Every knock does damage,scrapes are OK though usually.

Bush roads...

The height will change when I get it corner balanced BUt I just can't go anymore really.

Cops are really targetting dumped cars and with this new knowledge,I'm playing smart,I wasn't even gonna get coils because there's is way too many po po on the goldy BUT I don't live there anymore!

I'm Bush 4 Lyfe! lol

[Alvis]

I think it sits sweet from a practical daily driver point of view - maybe lower if you were tracking it tho. How does it drive (i still have stock setup on my EK sedan lol)?

I was thinking about getting BCs a while back as I read some really good reports on them, but the one thing that put me off was the fact they're not ADR approved, so didn't want it to effect potential insurance issues etc.

But been told Tein Super Streets are ADR approved?

[beeza]

Yeah,like I said when i get a 50 profile tyre it will look better,that will be 4 months or so away,I just need that clearance.

Another (dark) shot.I'll get some after the corner balancing.

[Alvis]

Is it a pain to change the damper settings and height adjustment? They should have an electronic unit you can do it from in the car...

They can for damper, but no ones gonna fork out extra $$$ for a civic.

Seriously its not that hard to do it by hand.

And why would you want to add more weight to a D series civic?

[mugen_ctr]

cant really see the benefit of running low suspension on a daily, its annoying as hell going over bumper, im only running kings low, an the exhaust scrapes over bumps :S 2 finger gaps u would think it would b enough clearance but not for me, bear in mind im running a 2.5 cat back so that might also be the problem, lol

Only real adr approved coilovers are those such as bilstein and Tein since they are built for australian roads if im not mistaken, they cost a fortune though
