Re: WTB: '96-'00 EK Civic emblems

Sounds good - let me know when they're off, and we can talk then.

WTB: '96-'00 EK Civic emblems

I know you have them, and they're doing you no good sitting in a drawer or tacked to your wall. And you know what? I don't even care if the chrome paint on them is jacked.

Because I'm one of...

Re: ** The offical 96-00 civic 4dr thread ** PART 2

Not much to look at, for the moment. Plus, it's a non-Honda.

Should be firing up the engine this coming weekend, but it's a significantly lightened and simplified '92 Miata that we're building...

Re: ** The offical 96-00 civic 4dr thread ** PART 2

Finally took some quick pics of my '97 EK sedan. It's mostly been seeing some maintenance work, suspension bushings, and some mild bolt-ons. The wheels are 16x7" Enkei RPF1 wheels with a 42 offset...

Re: volk se37k +38

It's not lowered (yet), but my '97 EK sedan is running 16x7 Enkei RPF1s with a 42 offset (and 205/45-16 tires). At stock height, they're just about flush with the fender edges. Not sure if that helps...

Re: tire ?

What's your wheel width? That'll make a difference in tires, too. Gotta find out what that is before you can start determining tire size.

FWIW, my EK sedan is on 205/45-16 tires with 16x7 Enkei...

Re: 185/65r14 on 14x5.5 work? Ugly? Tips?

A 185 should be fine on those - not sure what the stock steel wheel width is on Hondas, but the EK comes with a 185/65-14. FWIW, the early Miata wheels are 5.5", and are factory spec'd at 185/60-14....

Not sure how much different the EG is from the EK, but I just put 16x7 wheels with a 42 offset and 205/45-16 Khumos on my stock suspension-equipped '97. They fit pretty nicely, and are just about...

Re: looking for a highflow quiet exhaust...help?

Just to add - I have a stock D16Y7 in my '97 LX, and just installed a Magnaflow cat-back (with 2.25" tubing) with the resonator and muffler.

My initial thoughts is that it's not much louder than...

The weather's getting nicer, and it'll soon be time for me to start doing the spring detailing on my EK.

Re: Humming Noise

Is it a constant, low humming that gets louder with speed? If so, you have a bad wheel bearing.

Re: LS VTEC losing coolant

Wow - that's a lot. If you were losing that much through a bad head gasket, you'd have some serious issues (or at least see it in the oil and exhaust steam), so I'm not leaning in that direction.

Re: Civic clutch problem

When you replaced the m/c & slave, and put new fluid in, did you bleed all the air out of the line? Sounds like there's still some in there.
