Yeah I know it's not an EK9 but read on and let me know if my project is worthy...
At weekend I went and paid scrap value for a EJ9 Civic as a little project with my missus; she joined me at the beginning of the year at Japfest in the passenger seat around Silverstone, she wanted to have a car for a play on the track and also learn to build a track car...
She didn't want to race around the track in her Seat Ibiza (who can blame her) and I didn't want her racing around in my DC5 (who can blame me) so that's where the EJ9 Civic comes in...
So onto the car, it's a bit rough I know;
Dragged onto the back because no runner due to no life in the battery and drums seized due to handbrake being left on for a year...
Missus taking the battery off to replace with a new one
And it runs!! Sounded rougher in person as I think may be a whole in exhaust somewhere
So plan up to now;
>full service on current D14 engine
>Coilovers, camber adjusters, control arms and other suspension bits
>disc and pads on front and shoes and drums on back
> oh and most important, new windowscreen
>full interior strip out
Plans for distant future;
>B18C4 or C6 engine conversion
