Default 1996 EJ6 Coupe build thread - from Germany

Hey,
First of all, sorry for my not perfect english.
I am Max, 20 years old and I am Polish, but I live
in Germany.

My first car was a Mitsubishi Colt (in USA called Mirage).
I still have it but I'm gonna sell it this month. My second
car was a very rusty EG4 Civic. Then I sold it, bought another
Mirage ('cause I had an accident with mine) and then I found
very cheap a EG3 Civic with 1.3l engine on carburetors.
So I started to build the Civic in Hellaflush-Style. It's not finished
yet. Now I want to sell my Mirage and I bought instead of it
a Civic EJ6 Coupe. Here some information :

- Honda (USA)
- CIVIC JHMEJ6
- 1998
- 150.000km (120.000km the engine)
- 1.6l engine (D16Y7)
- EK4 Airbox
- D16Y8 Intakte Manifold and Throttle Body
- USDM P28 ECU (not chipped or mapped yet)
- 4-2-1 exhaust header
- USDM front quarterpanels (without sidemarkers)

So I bought it in this condition :

























The clearance is not perfect, because the car had a Carbon trunk hood.
I have to fix it And I modified the tail lights to USDM ones. The inner
lights works now, too.



Then I modified the grill, 'cause I saw one good looking preface
EK9 and wanted to build it in this decent way. Because it will
be just my daily.



Here I painted the red cylinder head cover in purple (my EG hatch
will be this color, too) :





and I threw down the ugly BuddyClub rear bumper, which I'm selling
on eBay now.





And today I put on my 16" x 9J R.O.D rims on it with some Raceland
coilovers. They're not the best, but remember... it's just a daily. It's
not very low, but the car has to be suitable for daily use.















I hope you understand me and sorry again for my bad english.

The plans for the next time :

- Chip the P28 ECU and put on a D16Y7 map
- Facelift taillights (the red-white ones)
- paint the rear bumper (it has deep scratches :/ )
- put down the ugly stickers
- black Headlights
- some Foglights
- a CTR or SiR front lip
- rear Si lip

Regards

P.S: Here some pics of my project car 1995 EG3 Hatch :

I don't have TÜV yet. But with connections, you won't have any problems
with it

EDIT: And the EG will not be registered in Germany. So I don't have to bring
it to TÜV.

There it's very important to have a good suspension. The good thing is
that you don't have to "eintragen" every part you install on the car.
So I can put on Xenons, Eibach Ground Control, and other Stuff without
having problems with the police

The EJ6 will be just decent, and the EG3 Hatch will be in Hellaflush direction.
I will paint it purple and fit the wheels with more camber and offset.
