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

I have a set of those chopsticks yo :P

Ha, my thinking exactly... best way to do it if you want to do it right the first time



Don't worry man, my build has been going for more than 2 years! I'm so frickin' slow in my old age lol - but i don't like doing all mods in one or two months, no fun to me, would just feel like a rush job.

But I think the guys on the forum would like to see another clean EK hatch build thread! And get some advice from them as well - they've always helped me out



As everyone knows, my suggestion is OEM all the way or quality Japanese parts> Yes, it costs a bit more, but lasts longer, looks better, looks cleaner and you can always part the car out one day and make most of your money back - so in the long run it's really much the muchness... you just pay more to start with.

Post a link if you decide on a build thread!

Yeah, Doing it slowly has served me pretty well so far. I might have to get a thread together, I'll have to check out what photos I have lying around from the process of building everything up. It would be good to log some of the maintainance and stuff I do to the car. As far as the rear lip goes, there is no question about the fact that I will be going OEM, I am just wondering how it would look if i continue the lip in black around the back. At the moment, the side skirts are finished pretty well by the mud flaps, so I am not sure. I am all for OEM.

EDIT: Put together a small thread on the stuff I have done to the car, it is Here

those chopsticks are cool!

anyway i did some more things to my EK today! - pretty much worked on the rear of the car and abit of the front.

1. Rear wiper delete and replaced with OEM Rubber Grommet
2. Removed rear wing brake lights and replaced with all new lights - because 1 burnt out so i decided to replace all of them and never do it again. btw they were so cheap 50c each!
3. Removed facelifted tail lights and replaced with OEM EK9 tail lights - also replaced all the globes/reverse lights.
4. Cleaned up corrosion of battery terminals
5. New Supercharge Gold battery!
6. Flushed radiator coolant and refilled
7. Installed new OEM ignition coil - car runs smoother now!
8. Replaced wiper blades with OEM - best thing ever!

did heaps today!

Fitted front & rear Buddy Club camber kits & while I was in there (front driver wheel well), took out the stock air filter baffle box thing & made up a cold air intake for it. Now need to take it to my local wheel & tyre place to get an alignment done tomorrow.

Forgot to add, replaced radiator cap as my current one was deteriorating and falling in pieces.

Riced the civic this weekend.

put LED's under the door handles of my 96.
have to admit, it looks pretty sick.

and with all the cars driving around with aftermarket lights at the moment,
this is one of the only mod's I haven't seen yet. (I know they would exsist on some model somewhere)

will post pics soon.

put some vtir seats, facelift model, so its got the much better pattern, makes a HUGE IMPROVEMENT! for the price instead of buying replicas or Recaros for that matter, well worth the investment
