I've had her for a few years now. At the moment I'm swapping in a B16A, together with 282mm brake setup, VTI strutbar, VTI lip.
Only exterior mods are lowering on Weitec coilovers, no more orange in my rear lights and the white Enkei's. Never seen those on a Civic before and still haven't till this day!
Mooooooh
Under the hood:
Got a CAI, 4-2-1 mani, decat and 2,5" catback. Way too much noise but that will disappear with my new exhaust system.
Rust
On both sides btw
Had this removed last year. There was almost no rust when I bought the car, but when I had it fixed it became apparent why it rusted so much: they had just put filler over the rust and sprayed it. Costed me quite some money, but hey, life's a bitch and then you die so enjoy while you can. Of course this will also help greatly when selling the car. Try to find a rust free EG
Also installed a short shifter, black Type R style knob and PU bushings, to replace the ugly chrome knob that came with it. With the new engine, there's a DC2 shifter on it.
Underneath:
In the snow:
270 b14tches, no rwd needed:
D16z6 estimated power (with estimated weight only):
Black = open
Red = with silencer
Green = with stock cat, no silencer
Few months ago my clutch or something attached to it decided to fail, as did both my cv joints. I decided not to fix them and swap to a B16A or A2. I found an A. Here it is:
Had to clean the whole engine...the seller did not secure the valve cover so a big part of the engine was covered in oil. Including the intake manifold, it was really dirty. I took it off to clean. Before:
After:
Not perfect but still way better.
Brake cleaner ftw
I decided to clean and paint the engine mounts.
Look at the dirt that came out of the cooling system...
Why did my joint die on me...no idea...
This is a very hand method of getting your ball joint loose. Get your wheel etc off and the joint nut. Jack up your brake disc. Put something in between your ball joint/LCA and hub, like on the picture that barely fits, as to realise maximum pressure. Then lower the jack. Had to do it a few times and then *BANG* off came the joint.
Toolsssss
Woops...had to jack up the car before the lift could get under it
