    Best OEM Part Option for B16B Spark Plug Wires?

    Those are actually one of the three part numbers I listed in my original post! :) Are the P30-405's the closest I'll get to OEM B16B wires that are currently available? Same length and everything?

    Best OEM Part Option for B16B Spark Plug Wires?

    The NGK sets are fantastic! This may sound picky to some, but I'm trying to maintain as much of an OEM appearance to the car as possible, and the car didn't come with blue-colored spark plug leads. There are a couple aftermarket sets that are black, but I've heard great things about the OEM...

    Best OEM Part Option for B16B Spark Plug Wires?

    Hey all. I've got an E-EK9 in the process of being imported into the USA. Gathering part numbers and ordering things I know I will want to do when the car arrives. Goal: OEM appearance and performance. So the blue NGK wires are out sadly, as I know they're a quality product and easily available...

    EK9 Airbag Recall 4646 - What's the Process?

    Cheers and thanks for sharing. I suspect that your recall must be something separate than the Japanese recall, because the Japanese one effects cars from 09-1996 to 12-1999, not up until 2002. Also my car checks out "okay to drive" when I search for the Takata specific recalls. The Japanese...

    EK9 Airbag Recall 4646 - What's the Process?

    I managed to find some more information here: https://www.honda.co.jp/recall/auto/info/200123_4646.html It looks like any E-EK9, and GF-EK9 up to EK9-1201912 (Dec 28, 99) could be effected. In total, 44,943 Honda vehicles were effected by this recall. 3,976 of them are apparently EK9's. The...

    EK9 Airbag Recall 4646 - What's the Process?

    This appears to be separate (and much newer) from the Takata recalls. My chassis comes up as "safe to drive" when I use the recall search tool that ONLY searches to see if your chassis is part of the Takata campaign. So you are probably correct that our EK9's weren't a part of the old Takata...

    EK9 Airbag Recall 4646 - What's the Process?

    Thanks for the insight! Glad to hear you got the original wheels back. Just to confirm, were both of those cars (the 2010 Insight and the 2004 Fit) included in the 2020 recall or were they part of the earlier Takata recalls?

    EK9 Airbag Recall 4646 - What's the Process?

    Hey all. I recently acquired an EK9 and the car is still in Japan for now. Using this link here, I searched the chassis number for any recalls. A notification for recall 4646 with a notification date of 2020-01-23 shows up as "Not Implemented" for my chassis. This recall is noted for "Driver...

    EK9 and DC2 ITR factory brakes (rear)

    As someone in the same boat, I can confidently say yes. In my research, the EK9 and DC2 front rotors are both 282mm x 23mm (some suppliers show 281.6, this is OK) and the rears show 260.0mm x 9mm, on almost all parts. Similarly the calipers are also the same. I've been searching USA parts...
