abunai civic (present)

[abunai888]

Been here for a long time and finally i decided to make a built thread
show you gus what i have done to my car all these years !
All started almost a decade ago when i bought my first and only honda so far a cypress green civic ek3 ils with the d15z6 vtec engine.

back in the days it had an hks air filter,no name shocks and springs and an ugly trailer hitch.

gave the car a good clean up and throw the hitch hook ...

 

[abunai888]

kept cleaning the car deeply...
removing the rear seats and covers made a big differece in cars acceleration !

 

[abunai888]

then i tinted the windows
bought a richbrook shift knob
and fit that blue sticker on the clock

 

[abunai888]

ditched the airbags and bought a 350mm momo tuner steering wheel (similar to the nsxR ) with a momo hub
also added a tein strut bar in the rear.

then winter came up ...

 

[abunai888]

kept buying parts during winter and serviced the hole front end .
installed a xenon kit,new air filter since the hks was deforming and added more blue details

First day of summer bought a new pair of headlights that i painted the housings similar color to ek9 ones
and new front bumper that i also painted myself !
also removed the rear decals and rear wiper arm,motor.

Thanks man thats 100% true !
D15z6 was a really good and reliable motor but its power on the ek chassis wasn't ideal for me anymore
so i decided to go with a B18c complete swap !
With a help from a fellow ek9.org member he pointed me to the experts that made all the hard work !
The comlete swap engine,transmission,brakes,engine loom etc was from a jdm dc2 it came with a grouppe M's air filter and an HKS silent 60,5mm cat back exhaust.
Going from 115ps to almost 200 was a huge step also the oem lsd was AMAZING !

On first week owing the swap made a custom ground kit,painted silver the intake heatshield and hi temp black the header cover

 

[abunai888]

sand the wheels and paint them black i used 3 plain spray cans they still hold well on another car today
