    Brake problem

    hi guys, just fitted my ep3 calipers and discs to my ej8 civic. I bled the system using a one man bleeder and the brakes were removed from my previous coupe so I know they were working good. I had a nice firm pedal but when driving the pedal goes down to the floor. I couldn't see any obvious...

    Ej8 b16a2

    Thanks mate. Exhaust sounds amazing! It is pretty loud but if your just cruising with part throttle it's not bad at all. Going to borrow a mates GoPro and gets some vids of the sound.

    Ej8 b16a2

    Hi guys, thought I'd start a build thread for my ej8 coupe that I recently bought. I had a ej6 coupe that I was planning on fitting a b18c4 into, but whilst browsing the for sale groups on Facebook I stumbled across this ej8 with some nice mods, local and cheap. Decided to go have a look, was a...

    B16a2 running issues

    Wee update. Rob came round to have a look at the car. Started it with the old plugs in and it ran fine, just a slight misfire! Tried some good plugs in that he had and it started and idled great. Just went back to it a couple hours later and straight away it was running rough on idle. Managed to...

    B16a2 running issues

    hi guys looking for some advice. Recently bought a ej8 with a b16a2 conversion done. Car started and drove fine on the test drive etc. It was then parked up for a few weeks whilst I sorted some bits out around the car. Had to jump start it to get started for taking it down the work shop to build...

    Shaving ek9/dc2 calipers

    I managed to squeeze 300mm ep3 brakes behind 15" rota circuit 8s, et38 with no spacers. Used a grinder to shave the calipers down and milled 2mm off the mounting point on the calipers.

    B18c4 into d16 ej6 coupe

    I'm not too sure mate. I kept the loom and ecu from the mb6 pk9 or something I believe. But after reading a few posts it seems to be a lot easier to use a facelift ek4vti loom as it's just plug and play and then get a p28 ecu and a jumper harness. Wanting to start gathering the parts as iv now...

    B18c4 into d16 ej6 coupe

    Hi guys, looking to put my old b18c4 into a ej6 coupe I have. I believe I need to use a engine loom from a facelift ek4/9? There is a facelift ej9 with a b series conversion breaking near me. It has a obd2a loom, is this the loom I'd need? I'm planning on getting a p28 ecu and will probably...
