Picked Her Up on 10th June!

got the cambelt changed that night as had no sticker or anything saying when it was last done!

and just been enjoying it since!

Then Me And My Mate Undersealed it, that wasn't a fun job! lol but needed to be done!

I also put on some facelift rear lights, which I think look 10x better!

Also fitted my Jazz Washer Jets!

Now Just waiting for my spoon lower seat rail and having my alarm fitted on 18th July!

[blinx9900]

[t_m_evans]

where did you get your rear lights from? and how much where they??

and what pin style are your silver talic bulbs? as a want to change mine!

 

[VTI_EG_DAN]

Cheers For the coments

yeh sent that decat back! as seemed really small! got a different one now!

brought the lights 2nd hand off one of the forums,

couldnt find silver talic bulbs that fitted the jap style plug, so I cut the end off the uk wiring loom that come with the lights, and cut the jap one off and swaped them over!

 

[lumek4]

nite mate. like the we cusco cage

Looks sweet m8, will have to organize a Devon meet again before the summer is over.

BTW what where the part numbers for the clear side repeater lenses, is a nice n simple mod.

 

[Colin89]

Very detailed work great to see it! It sure shows on the car well done!!!
Just one question what is the significance of the jazz washer jets?

 

[Bon87]

Yep, I have the same DECAT, way too small. Need to get another one :/

I need to do this ......

 

[VTI_EG_DAN]

Thanks guys!

yeh devon meet sounds good to me!

Part Numbers for the clear side repeaters are

33801-S2H-G01
33851-S2H-G01

They are off the HRV.

Yeh I know have this decat

Japshop Civic 96-00 DE-CAT

one at the bottom. it isnt fitted yet tho.

Last of the servicing is getting done tomorrow

Gearbox Oil Change
Coolant Change
Thermostat Change
Brake Fluid Change
Clutch Fluid Change

hopefully it will run right after the thermostat is changed, as at the moment its not heating up properly!

The Jazz washer jets shoot a mist of water instead of the normal 2 little outlets

 

[-WHEELMAN-]

Smart mods to start its life off on the right foot with you!

 

[babyface]

car looks lovely. loving the cage and the c pillar... looking for that same bar atm...
quick Q, could you send me the part n.o for the thermostat?

 

[VTI_EG_DAN]

Sorry I havent got it mate, as my mecanic chucked the packet away after he was done!

Just got the car back now, and it feels 10x better, ideling alot better now aswell.

The old thermostat was buggered and was open all the time, so the car was over fueling, so now hopefully will run better, and do better mpg.

The old gearbox oil comeout black apprently, so I dont know when that was last changed! but now gear changes feel alot better.

also the clutch and brake pedals feel alot better now after the fluid for them both were changed.

Got some rollcage padding on the C Pillar Bar now, as it was a bit dangerous for rear passengers!

Next on the list of things to do is fit the Decat and Spoon N1, and my Spoon Low Position Seat Rail.

Also going to get my wheels refurbed in Championship White, and need new tyres aswell! just not sure which ones to go for! as im bit straped for cash!

Added this today aswell!

 

[NZ_EK9]

Clean 9 you got there mate!

Any update on fitting the Spoon N1? Would be interested to hear how loud it is.

To babyface - Part number for thermostat is - 19301-P08-316

 

[VTI_EG_DAN]

not much of an update, sold the spoon n1 now, but do have a spoon lower seat rail, which I love!

also new wheels, got them as spare as my ek9 wheels are getting refurbed in cw, but now I cant decide which ones I prefer lol

 

[Kipper]

Such a clean car, but i would put 98' jdm dc2 wheels on
