converted to LHD, i would have preferred it to remain RHD to preserve it's originality but blame our government & politicians for passing a stupid law requiring all vehicles imported to the Philippines to be LHD before they can be driven on our roads. :nono: :angry:

anyway we will try to undo most of the damage of the LHD conversion, Honda released the Civic Ferio SiR in the Philippines which is a 4dr sedan with a B16A engine so parts from that car will be a direct bolt on to the EK9 to make a proper LHD conversion.

this is what the car looks like after i got it from the seller, will take new pics later, i currently am rubbing the paint to bring the old shine back, it's not perfect but it's a perfect candidate for a restoration project.

please help me save this marvel of Honda engineering, i need suggestions on what brand suspension bushings (polyurethane) to use as the stock rubber units are starting to crap out. i'm also going out to buy a set of rear brake pads, what do you guys recommend apart from the OEM brake pads? i just want a decent aftermarket brand for the rear as the front is already using Wedsport Blue pads.

blinx do u say that cause cause u drive on the other side of the road or do u say that as in its better to drive lhd. sorry if its hard to understand what i just wrote i couldnt come out with anything more understandable :D
 
i think what he means is it's easier to drive it since we both drive on the opposite lane in RP & USA. :D

i took the car again for a spin just now & there is a high speed corner that i know where i have run the CTR flatout on 3rd gear, this car is awesome! the car didn't even flinch & i can really feel the centrifugal force as i was going through the corner. even though the RE01 rubber is worn to the indicators it still has plenty of grip, i can't wait to fit the new RE001 tires & take this car for some touge driving.

i am now officially in love with this car, the only other vehicle that has excited me this much is my CBR600RR sportbike, first thing i will do is to upgrade the suspension bushings to urethane ones, i will do the engine mods last as i am a corner carver at heart. :nice: :D

hey pare! :D so you're a noy-pi as well. :nice:

i bought the CTR for P540th, original asking price was P620th, good thing was i knew the sons of the importer who brought the car in from Japan so the sons spoke to their father on my behalf so he gave the car to our offer, i didn't waste anytime so i withdrawn the money & paid it in cash & drove it home.

the car is now in Rizal in a town just outside Manila, i left the car in my brothers care, he will take care of the other things that will be needed to get the car back up in good running condition. i live in Nueva Ecija in a city 100kms north east of Manila, where do you hail from kabayan? :)

uhh the car was just imported from Japan & it came into the country around March or April & i am perfectly sure that no one owned the car before me (except for the first owner in Japan) as the disk brake rotors were all rusted over. if it were used locally the rotors would have been shiny at the least. :)

i saw another CTR same color as mine after i dropped the cylinder at the machine shop on my way to Caloocan, most likely it's that car you saw & not mine. :D
 
beautiful car mate! do you where the conversion to lhd was done? I want one but LHD so I can use it as a daily drive in my country :)
