3.2 to 1.4! :)

[gotTHEshifts]

Hey there, well got this civic ej9 sport a few months ago and loving it! Did a few minor mods for now, got MB civic wheels on it and a new shift knob. Plans within the next few months are:

Change timing belt and all belts+ water pump
Eibach Springs
Ek9 grill (maybe)
Window tint
Paint wheels or get new ones
Jap style backbox- I am looking at a japspeed 4" backbox and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it, i found it on ebay advertised 40 quid cheaper than japspeed's website, so wondering if it is sketchy or not even though the seller has 99.9% positive feedback.

HONDA CIVIC 96-00 6th GEN EK EJ JAPSPEED STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST REAR BACK BOX | eBay

Well here is a couple pics of my ej9 and my previous car, 2003 Acura CL Type S j32 Vtec. 6 speed ofcourse.

My previous car

When i first bought it

Anyone know why my ej9 has the leather wrapped steering wheel, haven't seen another one with it?

Then I slapped on these wheels and shift knob

How does moving from LHD to RHD feel, as well as on the roads?

 

[gotTHEshifts]

RHD was really weird at first I thought I'd never get used to it haha. As far as roads not much different feel just takes getting used to at first. Only major difference was 3.2 DOHC to 1.4 SOHC haha, but I need to build up some NCB since I'm 22. Always been a Honda guy and the Honda's here are wayyyyyyyyyyy better.
