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

[mugen_ctr]

Hopeless those big autoshops honestly... why couldn't Honda have just put a B16B is every Civic!

most of them shops dont even know that hondas even came vtec sohc, had to explain to them the differences an give them the part number for the correct order, some fine customer service rite there lol

[BIGTYM]

its sad but unfortunately its getting harder to drive modified cars on the street.

similar situation happened to me, i got TMU'd and that was the end of that.

good luck on the car mate, least you have a define purpose for it now

Wow John where have u been hiding bro.

So you got defected by the sounds of things. You still got the car or did you sell it.

[BIGTYM]

oh you mean highway patrol. anyway, sad to hear whats happened. you had one of the cleanest dc2. now im contemplating to just sell my car and drive a stock dc2r =(

Igor don't be silly. Keep going with your ek1 bro it's looking so good. If somethings happens with the po-po then think about selling it. But don't change your plans just cuz other people are getting defected. We can't all drive around in stock cars bro.

Damn the man I say. Modified hondas 4 life!!!

Today I officially canceled my rego and drove home from work on a day permit with no number plates. Sad day

I went to Autobahn to get my ITB filters. The guy came out and measured my trumpets inner and outer size, called uni-filter and ordered them, came a week later and were spot on fitting. Some of the people that work at big places like that are pretty on it.

Usually with clutches etc you go by engine code to order the right part.

Hell yeah mate, don't give in until you have no other option!! Your EK would be easy to clear if you got defected, you'll be fine man

Yeah it is def harder these days than it was, use to not even worry about it 3 years ago but I have been completely paranoid for the last year or so. just waiting for it to happen...

What does TMU mean?

[mugen_ctr]

Tmu = Traffic management unit, there pretty responsible for patrolling the streets, an are handy with defect notices

[Riced_Civic]

so mike what are the plans for the car, now that is un rego'd???

full track spec, or gonna sit on it and try find a way to get it rego'd???

[Alvis]

been following this for the last bit and just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in and say I'm sorry to hear about the defect DNYALL. Without a doubt your car would be more safe than some of those other sh#tboxes running around out there and no defect notice for them I'm sure... anyway, sounds like you prepped yourself and saw it coming sooner rather than later...

But I think it'd be a nice and fitting accolade for you to give OzHonda an official tribute thread with some of your cars pics in all it's great Honda glory

[mugen_ctr]

or video footage of ur time attacks

[tylerjames]

dropped the car off at the panel beaters to get my new front bar painted & door panels colour coded.
hopefully get it back before the weekend.

[Alvis]

Good to hear ur going ahead with the colour coding at panel beater mate - post up some pics when you get it back

Thanks mate Yeah Im keen to and will try get some sort of thread sorted out when i have some solid spare time

so mike what are the plans for the car, now that is un rego'd???

Man, i'm not gonna bother trying to get it rego'd/RWC untill i want to part out and sell. Eventually I ill part out completely and put the car back to stock (b16 motor, interior etc) and then try sell the car in stock form. I would love to go full track spec (welded cage etc) but hard to justify the extra money needed, now that I have a Mortgage to worry about.... Although now that i don't have to worry about driving it on the road, it does give me a lot more options. We shall see how far i take it, i'm not even sure myself.
