Hey guys.
Ive not long bought my first civic which is an EJ9 in supersonic blue with a d15z6 engine.

Ever since my dad bought his jordan about 8 years ago ive wanted a civic and now my insurance is finally reasonable enough to make that a reality.

I bought it with alot of modifications which i still havnt had a chance to check.
The things i know about are.

D15z6 engine
Sparco NS2 15" wheels on Yokohama A drive(front) and C drive(rear)
V-maxx Coilovers
Stripped out everything besides dash and 2 front seats.
Front and rear Strut Braces.
Stainless 4-2-1 Manifold
Buddyclub spec 3 centre
Unknown very loud and raspy backbox (maybe spoon)
EK9 style grill
Mk4 Astra front splitter.

This is how it looked the day i brought it home
Tilted Spoiler

I decided that although i finally had the car i wanted, it was time to personalise it.

First up was the cheapest and easiest modifications.

Red brakes

Health and safety warning

Informative labeling

Incase your eyes are playing tricks on you

Next was a 150 mile 3 hour road trip to Dumfries for the thrones.

Trial fitting

These sat in my garage for a long time waiting for new brackets being made.

In the meantime i found an unrefusable offer on this beauty

So out came the old seats and any remaining interior and in went the Ek9 carpet

Took a bit of modification as the cutting under the centre of dash was not quite the same.
 
Around about the time of the carpet being fitted i also bought a kenwood stereo off facebook for £20 which turned the sounds from an old am radio to a proper hifi system.

After a long long wait i finally got the EP3's in.

Off came the sparco's for winter and on went my dads jordan wheels as his cars on axle stands atm.

^ Also relocated front number plate ghetto style

Spoiler was but back to normal at this time but its now tilted again.

My cousin's fiance works for a sign maker and offered me some carbon wrap for free so naturally i jumped at the chance. Heres what happened.

A few more random pics i found

This isnt what you want to see!

Then i soon realised parking here wasnt going to work....

Found this little beauty from a member on Civiclife and labelled accordingly

I decided i didnt like the H emblem and i wasnt paying £40 for a type R one.
So i removed the old one to find 2 little pin holes.
a few hours scouring ebay and i found this to cover them

Last round of updates for now until i find a money tree.

The engine as it sits

Eventually i got fed up with having no back seats and was getting major grief from the kids mother.
So this is what i came up with
IMG_0348.jpg


Few small mods using money i found at work

Anyone else get sick of being soaked when using window jets?
The best way to combat this and also nice cosmetics

MOT time and i had no horn
The steering wheel has been replaced at some point and the coil was not fitted so i had to improvise
IMG_0351.jpg


I bought this off a mate for much cheapness but have since been offered a swap for an EK9 Rep so it will be gone soon!
IMG_0346.jpg
 
Sick of dittery old bastards taking 15 minutes to cross the road!
Decided it was time to get it sorted!
IMG_0353.jpg


Also looking at getting this, anyone got or had one?

Thanks mate.
Got a few upgrades coming soon provided the money is still available.

Its my "on a budget" version of a nitrous purge :woot:
 
Bomex is gone!
Swapped for this

Not perfect condition and not the best replica in the world but it fits and its much lighter than even the duckbill was.
 
Il get better pics tomorrow in daylight.

Will be getting tilt brackets fitted within the next week too!
How much tilt do i need :damn2:

First of all thanks for the comments, i like to hear feedback :D

The "water pisser" / "Get the **** outta my way spray" is the rear window jet disconnected under the bonnet and pushed into the grill :D

Updates will hopefully pick up pace as the summer comes in.

The wheels in the first 2 pictures are Sparco NS2 15"
Quite rare now as they were made in the late 80's by CrimsonRacing for SparcoRacing.

They are about to get a refurb and should be fitted again within a month.

Its definitely an EJ9 mate.
The clocks are from an ek3 along with the engine tho :p (needed the right milage for the MOT or something)
