Well its been a few months since I first got the FN2 and signed up to here so I'm a bit late starting a thread on here but here it is anyway

Well this is my 3rd Honda I've bought. The first being a 1992 Honda Del Sol Esi. Then I bought a 1997 Civic EK and I've modified that extensively. Which now currently runs skunk2 pro1 cams, mugen airbox, spoon n1, hondata S300, Blue DC5 Recaros etc, the list is endless.

Anyway, need meets old...

Very nice pair of cars you have there! Liking the EK also :thumbup:

Many plans for the FN like the EK?

So then the first couple of months I was good and managed to stay mod free, but then I crumbled.

Always had wind deflectors so these were my first purchase



Slight modification needed with the Team Heko deflectors (trim the very bottom off), nothing major which cant make them to be fitted in under 30 mins




At the same time I might have went out and bought some Enkei NT03's from Rarerims, cheers Julian :thumbup:
These are 17x8 with an 35ET offset and sit perfect in my opinion wrapped in some 225/45/17 Yoko's.



And when I fitted the wheels I sneakily fitted some Eibach pro-kit lowering springs too (Cheers ABP) and some Camber Bolts.

NT03 and RPF1's are my fave wheels, They looks awesome!

After fitting them springs, I knew it will have affected the geometery of the car so I would need to get it set up, but I also knew that I wouldnt be using the rear seats which would affect the geometry once I remove them so I didnt get it done straight away.

Anytime I need 4 seats i'm with the gf so we can use hers so its not an issue.

Firstly, took a few photos just for reference for when I come to reinstall the rear seats.






Out you come sorry little seatbelt clip


Labelled up the nuts and bolts into bags and Goodbye Honda accessories for now (They will be fitted back on long journeys just incase)


There will be more of the interior coming out at a later date but I had been pestered by so many neighbours who were interested in what I was doing with a "new" car lol so I was running a bit late for work and had to leave everything.

All cleaned, packed up and fully sealed so they will stay as good as new.


And what it looks like for now...





Total weight saved from interior was 45kg! along with the 16kg from the Enkeis is just about as good as fitting a gruppe m for power to weight ratio lol. 61KG Lost

yep lots, not as far as cams though, what a mess on with what mods/valvetrain etc are needed to support B series skunk2 cams for not huge gains over EK9 ones lol

Keep an eye out mate, theres more to come :thumbup:

Cheers bud, I think they look awesome, but their a pain to clean lol

HID kit post to follow but for now this is the motor as it currently stands.....

Lucky bloke,two very nice cars you've got there :salut:
Keep up the good work and more pic's of both cars please :thumbup:

Looks nice mate :thumbup:

Fitted a HID kit the other day, took the ballasts from my old Peugeot and ordered some H7 Bults from Hidsdirect.

Firstly, I cut the back bulb covers so the bulb cables and connectors would fit through
Using this...



to end up with this... (tidied it up before fitting)






Couldnt help but take a photo of my EK while in the garage



Then fitted them and placed the grommit into place (I know it isnt in the photo)

Then gave them a test out :thumbup:

Future plans

Brembo 4 Pots
Ferodo DS2500 all round
Front splitter (Tie bar'd)
Harnesses
Bride seats (Possibility)
LSD

If I get those done within the next year I will be extremely happy.

Just a few pics of the CTR

Top wheel choice :thumbup:

Don't do it. I will come and steal them if that is the plan. I love them, they were the plan for my one untill the evo 8;s came up at a crazy price.

Fancey a meet up some time?
