The wheels in question also come on EK4s in other countries too. They black ones are just painted.

I see, thanks. I figured they probably were available in other countries as well, but I just hadn't seen them before.

Howzit... thats SA slang for hello and no its not one of the 11 official languages... LOL

That Black FN2 CTR is mine the EK hatch is my Brother's while the Silver sedan belongs to my other Brother...

i've been browsing this forum for a while and when heeroSR4 told me he posted some of our cars I decided... what the hell...

we have loads of cars here, and there are some guys who import whatever they want even though it could cost double what a similar model will cost.

so this is my take... what ever you get make sure it has an "H" badge.

jayjona8732

sounds like a good time next time you guys have a meet def post some pics would like to see the differnt styles from out there you guys like to do to your cars

So how are the boosted Hondas there?...I wouldnt imagine emmissions being very strict .

darecanbonli1

Truth is there aren't that many boosted Hondas here I know of only a handfull, and only one supercharged FN2... There could be more. I think most peeps do ITB's,cams,zorsts and software/chips- or M3 throttles since they're farely common. I guess going NA is what it's all about. About restrictions, no the local "DMV" isn't that strict. Im guessing that as long as there's no visable smoke, it's all good. Although it must be said that the dealerships and manufacturers keep a close eye on this, but only on vehicles they sell and service.

darecanbonli1

Oops...I said "restrictions" I meant emissions...

Love the red EK

Man that is sad. But non turbo power is hella fun too. The m3 tb upgrade hmmm is that a cheap way to get a bigger tb?

hey guys.. im situated in Jo'Burg.. have a 96' h22a prelude.. looking for a honda car club this side (i know most of you guys are down in the Cape).. If you know of any i'd appreciate it i have searched the s*** out of google and nothing! LOL..

I bought my honda ballade 1500 elegance new in 2015. From new i detected a whining/humming noise from the drive train. It was most prevelant between 60 and 80 kph. After a 2 year struggle with honda south africa they replaced the gearbox. I inspected the stripped gearbox and found serious damage. The main shaft bearing collapsed which eventually led to the gears rubbing each other. The gears were chipped and broken with resultant metal in the gearbox.

After the gearbox replacement i found that the whining noise is still present but now over a wider range namely 60 to 110 kph. The noise stop as soon as you put the car in neutral. The car now only have 19000km on the clock

I would like to know if there is anybody else with the same proplem. I am taking the problem back to honda.
