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

[DNYALL]

installed Fast line shifter and added a circuit hero on top to make it super high.

HAHA Awesome. Does it hit the Dashboard?

[Riced_Civic]

nope not even close, with my hand on it in 1st and 3rd i have a 2 inch gap from my fist to the dash.

ive also noticed that it has a shorter throw than the stock 1, i guess that helped alot.

[Riced_Civic]

took the rails off the seat to make it fixed to the chassis which lowered the seat by 2 inches.

[DNYALL]

so the seat itself (no rails at all) is bolted to the floor of the car? I have never seen that befor.

[Riced_Civic]

yep no rails at all, just a bracket so it bolts to the OEM holes

+ only took me an hour

[1996_EK_Civic]

haha n*power ftw! yea took us 2 hours we did it casually lol but yea... was your o2 sensor hard to get out the old headers? mine was a bitch had to use a very bigger DIY breaker bar (fence pole lol)

Monday - brought my 1996 EK Civic Sedan (stock other than KSport Coilovers).

Thursday - Got the windows tinted with 20% tint, ordered a set of 16x8" ET35 Rota RB's.

Friday - Painted the rear 'H' badge and 'CIVIC' badge in gunmetal metallic grey.

By the way guys, how are you finding the N*Power headers? They seem pretty good value for $160 delivered off Ebay - was going to buy a set and now I've seen you guys have just installed them. Much change in performance/sound? Hows the build quality?

No, actually the whole thing came off and went back together like a dream.
I was expecting the O2 sensor to be a nightmare but came off easy too.
we used quite a bit of WD40 to get the bolts off but other then that, it wasn't any harder then what you'd expect it to be.

Congrats on the new EK, (sounds like the same as mine


I'm liking it, weather was wet here today, so i didnt really get a chance to take it out.
but have noticed better response, not much different to the sound

and if anything else, it just looks awesome.

Yeah I wasn't expecting any real sound gains out of it - I was actually toying with the idea of getting the N*Power headers and then getting a 2" exhaust done.

But you are right - better reponse is always a plus and they look the shiz.
