thought i'd stick some pics up of my mates civic, its something a little bit different, was never a lover of jap cars at all but this is a very well put together motor with nice individual touches.

ginge might like this as he commented on one in his jap thread

its a rebuilt B18 bottom end, B16 head, EK9 cams and double valve springs, lightened flywheel, exedy clutch, DC2 teggy LSD box, daiyama coilies, 282 front brakes, strut brace, c brace, ek9 steering wheel, rare blue DC5 recaros, spoon n1 exhaust, sumo filter, apexi ECU and some other bits and bobs i cant remember

pics...








car is now on the Rota GT3's with the blue lip, last pic is a bit old.

comments and feedback on something a bit different for passionford welcome

 

Thats looks great, love the look of these Civic's. Wheels look superb.

 

they are a nice touch, forgot to say it got mapped the other week by wayne at chip wizards, 195 bhp. 160 odd at the wheels.

goes rather well.

 

how well does it go against the newer EP3 Type R's ones? (think it's EP3)

 

havent had a proper play yet mate, i think it would be about level peggings, had a really good play with a WRX scooby on the M58, think he was more than suprised.

the EP3 run a K20 though, much more torquey than the B18's and obviously a bit more development gone into them, there 200 ponies out of the tin. we will see

 

Thats really nice i was never into jap cars till my girl friend got her VTI and i loved it, I'm surprised he's still got the air box on it cause you can't beat the v-tec raw.
some pic's no where near as nice as your mates.

 

B18 motors though are rev machines, really like them. Thinking of getting myself one of these possibly as well. Lovely car.

 

it had an AEM V2 carbon intake on when he got it, the airbox just looks tidier in the bay tbh

 

Thats nice.

 

Very nice mate, the colour of the lip and the wheel nuts go really well with the colour of the car

 

swear i saw this going down the strip at jap show on sunday? very clean civic luvly colour

 

not this sunday dude was out and about in northwich

 

Love it, ive always liked the look of these

Any videos of it?

 

none of it going yet.

ttt

 

nice one

Tell him to sort some in- car vids or something

 

thats fucking lush that mate

 

Nice car 3i gaz seen this at the southport meets last month..

 

good mate of mine has a turbo type r 327 bhp 290 lbs torque-its quite nippy.....
was up at motoscope a little while ago frs lads had a r/r day there at the same time,said a few of em were surprised

 

its not mine mate its a friends, the lad lives not far from southport.

what you drive matey?

 

Looks like an EK9 to me?
Whats the difference?

 

nice mate bet he loves it?

 

EK9's didn't come in blue, front lights are different as is the spoiler and grille I think

 

standard the ek4's have different cams, pistons, no lsd gearbox and a few other changes, can't remember them all as i'm not a massive jap fan.

EK4's also have a different spoiler and side skirts to my mates, it has ek9 headlights in you might be thinking of the facelift model with the different front end.

was out having a play in it tonight, takes so much abuse constant abuse and dosent miss a beat!!

think me and him built a decent motor.

 

Ah so the EK4 is kind of a basic spec EK9?

 

Ek refers to the shape. EE is 88 - 90, EG is 90 - 95 (ish) and EK is 95 - 99 ish

The number refers to the engine that it came with standard.

EK4 - 1.5 LSi vtec Eco model pish
EK5 - 1.6 Esi Vtec middle of the range number
EK6 - 1.6 VTi Uk decent model
EK9 - 1.6 Type R Jap model

I've never seen an EK7, or 8 but they may be jap spec models

 

just a 2.0l focus chipped and running cams etc.. hopefuly should be running in time for the meet on thursday..

Very nice car bud

 

Aha, it all makes sense now

 

Still no videos, im dissapointed

 

MCR vtec meet at the weekend, i will be passanger so will get some vids for you matey.

had a childish moment tonight and took the intake pipe off the airbox and went for a play down a strewtch of dual carriageway, VTEC noise straight out the throttle body is rather savage lol

 

Nice one, will look forward

 

Finall got a few vids today, nothing edited as of yet, just uploaded.

In car tec limiter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPIOYdKSSfM
and yes, it really does get that much abuse every day!

 

Sounds mental mate

Surely thats not 60mph(after all the wheel spin) in 1st gear?

 

it wouldent get grip in 1st, was rather damp and it was spinning the wheels, so jsut abused the rev limiter for som good VTEC noise

 

Would like to see in car of it setting off properly and progressively through the revs. Love it when they just rev normally then all of a sudden BAAARRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

VTEC has been set to come in at 3.5k as wayne at chipwizards said this would make it more driveable, so the vtec crossover isnt as apparent like on tegs etc...

but it comes on cam fooking lovely at 6.5k

 

So it's on the longer duration higher lift cam profile at 3.5k and this is meant to make it more driveable

 

This was parked in the LA Fitness car park last nite in Formby whilst I was there....still aint got a clue what the lad looks like either! lol

Thought I saw a hint of blue on the wheels when I parked up - looks spot on!!

 

hiya mate, me and 3i_gaz joined the other week! you'll more than likely see us in a black escort van as i hate parking in car parks! come and say hello next time as i woldnt have a clue who you are either!
