Finaly took the time to make some updates to this topic (see page 1 also).
I've had the 9 for almost 2 years now and still lovin every single bolt of it
The last year I've been driving it every day (as my brother crashed my other civic() and I'm gettin to know it better and better in corners and such.
In the mean time I've been on the track with it, and boy I was amaaaaaazed with the handling!!
However It's always a strange feeling though. I really want to push it hard, but at the same time I realise that it took me so much time to find a nice EK9, and that it's so rare here (i think i'm the only one in my country wit a 9), so I defninitely want to keep it in one piece (I want another one for the track! )
Mods I've done on the car so far:
- Mugen twinloop catback
- Mugen airbox
- Ferodo DS2500 pads (front and back)
- Spoon magnetic drain plugs
- Spoon Engine & tranny mount set
- MFactory shifter bushings
- MAXIM WORKS 4-2-1 header (pretty rare stuff )
- DEFI Din gauges (amber red)
- Pioneer MVH-8200 headunit
Things on my wishlist:
- New recaro bolsters
- Potenza RE11's or Yokohama ADVAN AD08 tyres
- Spoon calipers
- suspension upgrades like coilovers, new OEM bushings and if necessary camber kit (still doing some research about which set would be best for me. I would love the car to hang a bit lower, but I like how the OEM suspension feels and handles, so I want something that comes close to OEM handling!)
