EDM Civic coupé 1995

[stefan]

Hey there guys,

I'm new to D-series.org, mainly to catch up some reading on tech.
My name is Stefan, 23 years young and living in the north-eastern part of Holland.
November 2004 I bought myself a 1995 Civic coupé LSi with the D15b7 engine, manual.
Earlier cars have been an Escort, 2 Civics ED7 (D16z2), 2 Toyota Starlets, and a 89' CRX ED9 (D16z5).

My ride

- D15B2 (LPG killed my headgasket, another engine was cheaper)
- multipointswap (left over from the killed D15B7)
- stock D16Z6 4-2-1 header
- testpipe
- stock midpipe without muffler
- Tenzo-R Venturi style stainless steel muffler, 2.5" or 2.75" inletpipe
- WAI with home-made airbox
- chipped ECU, just had some base maps put on,

[Bouli]

Welcome hehe

[stefan]

Thanks for the welcome guys, unbelievable how much knowledge is to be found here, only a handfull of people in the Dutch Honda-scene seriously know things, and here everybody seems to know it like the back of their pockets haha.
Lots of reading-hours ahead, I probably have to pull the plug out off the phone, and shut down MSN Messenger ;)

[chrisellis211]

Looks good!! :) Def changed for the better

Chris ;)

[stefan]

More recent pic... added some amber corners, IMO a big improvement over the clears...

Unfortunately, I didn't use heat resisting paint, so the paint is coming of the valvecover a bit.
I díd use a heat resisting paint on my D16z6 valvecover, in a less in-yo-face color.
I'm thinking of painting the tube between airfilter and throttle in the same color, leaving the airbox black.

EDIT:
I removed the H-logo on the VTEC cover myself, on the yellow v.cover I removed everything myself, but now, I'm regretting it, it is a little over the top IMO.
A/C was removed a short while after taking this pic btw, awco over airco (All Windows Can be Opened, sounds better in Dutch though, ARKO over AIRCO)

[sage]

nice the recent rims look the best my thoughts..

[myHonda1]

supa clean! and welcome!

[riva]

I like the wheels too.

[replica]

Interesting seats...don't get them in the US

[94CivTLC]

wooden airbox ftw yo! hahaha

hey seriously tho :TU: for giving the civic a better home and a second chance at a de-riced life! keep up the good work and keep us posted
welcome mofo!

@ riva;
Standard at a Renault Clio Williams, also, 5 lug though, the Colin McRae version of the 1st or 2nd type Subaru Impreza.
Magnesium, light weight, very very rare, even in Urp.

@ Replica;
Standard in the 4th gen Civic h/b, only the 1.6 sohc non-VTEC btw.
The 2nd gen CRX has alsmost the same seats, only thinner, more support, and unfortunately, CRX stitched in the back.
Edit... we only have a DOHC D16 (ED9) and off course the B16 VTEC (EE8), the EE8 has worthless leather seats, I really didn't want a set of those...
I owned a ED9 before this car, and I'm still craving for the feeling the ED9 gave me...
Too bad those cars are sooooo prone to rust here, and both the DOHC D16 engines suck more than some industrial vacuumcleaner...

@ 94CivTLC;
Wood FTW haha, still have to do some work on an improved, sheet metal one.
Wood sucks, but it still isn't falling apart, so überghetto is the path to follow till I got some time away from f*ing school...
