B18c Kanjo fast road EG4 project, rare parts build..........

[JDM Civic EG4]

Thought I would be polite and say hello! again, unsure weather I will be allowed to stay yet, but would like to! hopefully I can, but if this gets deleted, I can totally understand.

My names Rhys, I've been running a small unit, or trying to at least - building, breaking and dismantling Civic's and selling a few other JDM parts here and there too, I've now had to stop and start to clear my unit out due to rent inflation to the point of not being able to continue to pay the rent. I'm absolutely devastated over this, was going absolutely brilliantly and was looking at stepping up the game and importing and then eventually expanding on to a bigger unit. But for now, it will be back to working out the back of the house in our garage after the end of this month/next month


So I have 2 current projects on the go, one is active, the other is just waiting at the moment until next year. Trying to complete one at a time rather than try to do 2 at a time. They are a Captiva Blue 1993 Civic EG4 and a 1993/4 Civic EH9 (EG 4 door sedan, basically an EG9 without the B-series).

I've recently had to cut my cloth and sell my EF project, as its virtually impossible to try and do them all, so this has had to go, the chances of me ever finding a near mint, original, 40,000 mile EC9 to build again is slim, but it was a hard choice, needs must, this had to be done. All the EF9 parts I had been keeping back have also either been sold or are being sold

I have also recently broken a '93 Civic EG6 SIR-S, which was absolutely tragic, but had to be done due to the shell being rusty and badly corroding around key subframe areas on later inspection. Seemed strange scrapping it when im building an LSi shell up, didn't seem right, but needs must.

I am also a fanatic when it comes to rare JDM parts (and my wallet is broken from it! LOL), I have a small to moderate collection of bits and pieces (some you will see in the list bellow, others are not), always love helping other people too if I can if they don't know the rarity of a certain part or don't know who it was made by...etc.


Current and main project for now:

Project type:
Project Kanjo Civic, no low and slow, ALL go with a few scratches and dents and stickers in there. Function over form, every part to serve a purpose rather than for "bling" where possible.


1994 Civic EG4 (Originally an LSi)
Captiva Blue
70,000 miles
3'rd owner from new
FULL Honda Main Dealer service history up until my ownership

This is currently still in bits as I'm still building up, parts are ready to go on, but doing the under sealing and rust protection first.

Have some parts still on their way but 97% of them are here and waiting.

I am also doing all of the build myself and have done up until now, have stripped everything down myself, done the wiring myself and will be doing the build up myself and fitting everything on over the next few weeks myself. Along with the under sealing and anything else too! Only parts I cannot do is the welding/relocating the one rad bracket for the ARC full length rad, and the spraying of the tailgate, side skirts and bump strips eventually. These i'll be getting done.

Will have the pics flowing fast over the next few weeks as the actual putting together of it all will be taking place.

Parts are all sitting about in boxes and what not ready to go on now.....

 

[Rossco155]

looks like my unit haha loads of everything kicking about any updates?

 

[JDM Civic EG4]

Haha plenty mate, haven't bothered as didn't think anyone was interested after seeing no replies! LOL

Basically was getting it ready to remove the fuel tank ready to wash the underside down and underseal, more updates when the undersealing starts...............

Checking my exhaust fitment, very happy (ignore the rusty hubs their temporary hubs haha)......

Proper updates coming soon!!! Few more updates with the finished spec as well, had a few more purchases and goodies delivered!

 

[Matt-EK9]

Exactly the kind of build I like to see, Great list there looking forward to seeing it come together.

 

[Rossco155]

got anything interesting kicking about? pm me if got things to sell

 

[Topher-EK9]

Can;t wait to see those ITB's on the B18 mate, Real nice spec list too, can tell you chose each part individually.

Such a shame about the unit dude..

Thanks very much mate, plenty more rare parts to come eventually as well!

Plans for a Carbing roll cage and a few other choice parts too!

got anything interesting kicking about? pm me if got things to sell

I haven't mate really no, all my stock and rare parts I had as stock have gone now, I only have a few standard bits here and there and what you see in the unit kicking about, most will be scrapped...etc

I have SIR-S parts left, that's a about it now really. (

When I get a new unit eventually I will be back in the game selling rare JDM parts, and doing it properly this time!

Can;t wait to see those ITB's on the B18 mate, Real nice spec list too, can tell you chose each part individually.

Such a shame about the unit dude..

Thanks Topher bro! And the ITB's will be insane I promise you, will be running TODA or JUN cams or SS Works if i can get them but we'll see! All of that is planned for next year though! Wanna enjoy it first for a while before I start pulling the engine about again now.

And you know me mate, I spend absolute hours reading up and investigating parts! I spend every waking hour reading about rare JDM parts and general parts ...etc drives my missus mad but luckily as you've seen from facebook shes into her cars as well - she's getting an EP2 Sport next week too! haha

 

[JDM Civic EG4]

Also another small update - Have decided to go the full monty now, all front arms, hubs, rear trailing arms, TRE's and front subframe will all be powder coated. Subframe will be its own colour and the rest will all be a professional silver colour hopefully.

Might as well go the whole 10 yards like!

 

[tama666]

This will be fun for you. Congrats.

 

[JDM Civic EG4]

Haha hopefully it will mate yeah! It's been a while now since being behind the wheel of a Civic, my sedan came off the road and that was a good 6 months ago now easily, so you can imagine its been hell for me

Sad thing is now the winter is closing in, this will be out for maybe a few weeks, then put straight back in my garage and covered over until Spring. Damn weather and grit!!

Thanks mate, it'll pick up pace now that more parts and goodies are getting delivered!

 

[gorath23]

Already love the plans for the Kanjo EG!!! Wish you lived closer, I would have probably gone in with you on the Unit.

Its kinda strange seeing a build with rare/genuine JDM parts. Your collection certainly eclipses mine!

Did you keep the SiR grey rubbing strips for your EG4?

 

[R13ngy]

YES! this will be ace when its done. keep it up dude
