Very stoked to see this! ^ Fitment is great in my opinion! It looks like you've been doing some work on the wheels? New hardware maybe?

Here are the J-Speed's which will hopefully be mounted over Christmas break.

Edit: I see there is in fact new hardware. Looking great!

Nice score on the parts/fins lobuck and those ex-c mesh look super clean.

MKI's look super proper on the ED!

Corrected.

Thanks, man I thought they were all EF's. Fail. I'm a Honda guy that went 240/SR, to Datsun, to 335i, then back to an EG. I was only into Honda for about a year in 96. You learn something everyday

No biggie! "EF" is commonly used to refer to that chassis, but that code was only used in the Japanese market. I try not to call my car EG (again, Japanese market when referring to the 92-95 3-door Civic), but it happens.

^ russ what wheels are those you posted in link? Any better pics?

phunhaus

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I think it's going to work really well for this little hatch. I've installed new nuts but the bolts have a rounded end so I don't want to replace them with any aftermarket alternative. I plan on sanding the rust down, polishing and finally clearing them as I redo the wheels.

lol, after I took those pics and reveled in the wheels being on the car I got bored and removed the headlights. They're already in the trash can!

Hey phunhaus...same guy from JDMU? I remember you had a clean build and chip on your shoulder back in the old days , glad to see you still around, nice hatch.

BennyB18C6

Weak as **** to be honest. They were only meant to be temps till I could import some much wider ones but the engine let go and all my money went on rebuilding the motor.

6.5J ET18 but I'm running 4x100 to 4x114.3 25mm thick adapters so ET-7

phunhaus

Thanks. I doubt it will ever be as clean as your hatch but we've got some ideas for it. the wheels are the first step in creating a Japanese-lowrider. It's not as hideous as it sounds but before we get too far in the customizing I want to get the car running and her some experience with it. This way if she doesn't like it we won't be so far into it.

Yeah, same guy. I still have that same EK hatch from way back when!

Nevertheless the car looks great!

Finding MK1's with larger widths can be pretty tricky and pricey. Of course they're littered on Yahoo Japan though.

Also, Adaptec can do adapters smaller than 25mm if you'd like to try to tuck a bit more tire.

Hay russ you should buy my hatch and throw those wheels on it lol
