hi people, i recently became increasingly bored of owning ford and have always LOVED civics (EF,EG,EK) and jdm cars alike, so i sold my mk5 fiesta and was on the search for a ek civic that i could turn into a mental beasty.
i can across this a 1998 1.5 sohc vtec ek civic with full service history and only 54k on the clock, theres a few parking dinks but nothing major, since owning it i have tinted the rear windows, tilted the spoiler, wind deflectors, gave it a good service with hamp oil filter, NGK spack plugs, NGK ht leads, oil change and a long arm filter kit and jap plates. i also spent a whole saturday clay baring, paint renavatoring, polishing and waxing made so much diference, when i first got it, the paint was SOOOO matt. i also gave it a realy good clean as it smelt like a farmers armpit and there was enough hair on and under the seats to make a poodle.
anyway heres some pics

when i first brought it-

future plans include Mugen or SiR lip, Carbon goodies, coilovers,uprated LCA's, Poly Bushed, strut braces, Cusco rollcage, b16/b18 which ever i can afford at the time, uprated brakes, itr seats, light weight wheels and a few other goodies.if i go with a b16 the main goal will be to get 200bhp NA. if i go with a b18 the goal will be to turbo it, it all depends on my situation at the time. only time will tell so keep tuned boys and girls.
Anyway thanks for looking and any coments or ideas feel free
 
Good start mate !

Will be a masssive inprovement when you get some wheels, lips and a grille on there.

Keep us posted !
 
Good little project....

A true 200BHP N/A from a B16 is no easy task however...

Bang for buck a nice simple B18C/C6 engine & box is the way to go:nice:
 
looks like a good start to a project, and its good to see you'v converted from the dark side that is the blue ovel, defo needs some wheels though.
 
im working on it people lol, ive brought some wheels now, some integra dc2 alloys hehe, should be nice, any sugestions on what coulor to spray them ect ect post it up. i will post some pics of the wheels up when i pick them up.
 
Anyway Heres The some pics of a few new bits ive got, Nothing Major Just Bits Ive Wanted Since Owning A Civic lol

Thanks dude, im happy with my choice of LCA just carnt wait to get them on now lol
yeah desprate for a new engine, still undecided on what engine though, i change my mind every week, need to make a decision soon on which one to pick though :nerv:

been to honda today and orderd my lca bolts...not cheap lol. im sticking to my rule of replace are you go though :))
 
ive been looking into b18, b20 and k20 swaps (i know everyone wants a k20 but i can dream lol)
if i go b18 ill always wonder what b20 would have been like if i go b20 ill always wonder what k20 would be like so i dont know lol i know ill be happy with any of the 3 swaps. the more i read about b20's the less i wanna do one tbh. b18's are looking a good option at the min :)
 
WEHEYYY :drive::nice::clap::D:drive:

FINALY Got the Coilovers and LCA's on.
I havent slammed it as of yet because i thought id let them bed in abit and see if there was any teathing problems and if there is its a lil bit easyer to get the jack under (even though i carnt now lol)
took it a test drive and its soooo much better they are adjustable 30clicks soft/hard so i set them on 10 front and back and its still doesnt bounce at all if you push down on the wing or boot, there is still 3inches left to go down on the coilovers lol all in all HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.
heres a few quick pics, ( before i get raped -as i said i will lower it down in a week or so) it does look abit lower than the pics tbh i think its the angle ive took it at doh! i also found a pic of my old fiesta i had before this so i added it to the first page of this thread lol just because i can :p
