EK4 and EK9...
wats the differences in them 2?

as for interior, Civic Type R(btw whats ur name..*insert here*, pls) and myself(nic) have mentioned much

engine is b16a and b16b respective both 1.6L

if you are in melb then you will get more luck searching for an ek9. otherwise be contented to go for the civic vti-r(ek4)

this can go on forever with the difference....maybe you should do a search on WWW -some research....readings.

unless someone here indulge you with every single info.

in short....read this

can you kindly tell your friend hes a bastard for me
I wanted that dash !!!!!!!!!!!!
Im buying the centre console.

So far i have got EK9. momo srs steering wheel, red carpet, red floormats, CF gauge bezel, titanium shifter, and the CF centre console is in progress.

My EK4 to EK9 conversion is getting there :P

all i need now are the red armrests and recaros :wink:

Hey "Civic Type R", Sorry for that mate.
But i must say it looks cool and it was in really good condition...heheheh
.....but yeh me and eknine will help you out
if we see any cheap ek9 clusters floating around.

Maybe we will meet up some time see your nice type r conversion aye!.

[eknine]

Sypherg, he is in perth bro!)

unless he drive down for my post conversion preview<laffz>

[Civic Type R]

hehe yeah thanks heaps guys for the support ! much appreciated.
I trust you are talkin about the red armrests at the window controls. Yeah i'll take them off you if you dont want them. Thing is tho, i think they're glued to the vinyl trim door skin.
but anyway, i will have all the items arrive in 2 weeks and will most likely start ripping out the whole interior then. However im still waiting on the red carpet so i cant start anything until that arrives .. :roll:

Ive done it before for a previous car show as i had my window smashed in by a nice brick one night. So i had to remove the seats for the vacuumer. Fun job tho

All i need now are red recaros. I have a contact in Japan who looks after me really well and he can get me a pair cheap. But ironically im also tryin to save for a property ive just bought...

but yeah, id love to catch up !

wat are the chances of me getting a Type-R civic.. in NSW?
and how much chu guys reckon dey retail around?

or if not imported and how much?

[bennjamin]

just do it like everyone else does...

import a Ek9 from Japan...either written off or whatever...

buy a Ek shell...and swap all teh bits from the JDM wreck into teh shell !

Voila ! Instant civic type R !!!

Thats how ANY exist to my knowledge in Australia...a legal loop hole that still can be acheived :P

Its basically a "legal number job"... :wink:

I will definitely go for the coupe, partly for its look as it comes with type r bodykit standard. The weight difference between h/b and coupe is actually not much, can check it at www.drive.com.au and u find that the coupe is lighter than h/b. And the h/b comes with sunroof standard which reduce it's chasis stiffness, but can't really be bother unless u drive on the track. One thing u might want to consider is aftermarket mod, which is harder to find for coupe as it does not exist in Japan.

[Civic Type R]

Umm just for the record, NO civic Type R come in coupes or sedans

The only R's are:
Civic Type R - Hatch
Accord Type R - Coupe
Accord Euro R - Coupe
Integra Type R - Coupe
NSX Type R - sex on wheels

and the hatch is lighter than the coupe too. Only VTir have sunroof standard. :P
