Icon7 My new 1999 Civic EK4 VTi

Hey, I just bought this beauty today. It has 60.000 miles on the clock, and it runs like a beauty. It's a real rarity here in Denmark so I'm really happy that I got it.

New pics will come later.







Here it is next to my old EK3

Dude what a find! What a score! Out of curiosity what did you pay for it? What are your plans for it?

I'll keep the price a secret, but it was a bargain. My plans are to keep it stock exterior wise, and maybe get some white Rota Grids. Its condition is absolutely mint, and it's already a show car as it is.

I've now owned the car for 10 hours, and I've gotten 3 thumbs ups from people on the sidewalk. It's a stunning car!

Hell yes it is! Steer clear of Rotas! That car is to nice for knock off wheels! Not sure your taste in wheels but get something rare and clean to match the car!! Just my opinion! Any interior pics?!

I can't afford the real deal (Volk TE-37's), and Rotas is a nice alternative I think.

Here's the previous owners pics of the interior:

<--- Jealous.

Quick question, you say it's a '99, but I thought the '99-'00 had different A/C controls than that, they had ***** you turned, not tabs you slide. But I'm a noob, so forgive me if that's a really stupid question. I've been out of the Honda gig for a few years now.

Don't put rotas on it! It's perfect as it is. Anything might just throw it off.

Well I live in in Denmark and it's an import from Germany. The European version may differ from the American ones.

I always find it interesting that the European models have a different dash board, they have those large vents in the middle area.

Nice it also has a leather wrapped steering wheel, and the head rests in the back seats

Actually the previous owner installed the Integra steering wheel.

It has this wheel now. I don't have any pics yet, but it's like this one.

sooooooooooooooo jealous dude. would kill to snag a civic like that :D


i also think it would be a damn shame to put ANY other wheel besides the current ones on it. that car is far too gorgeous for something like rotas, or for any mods at all for that matter. keep it OEM yo!

Well, maybe you're right. As for now, I'll be keeping them as I can't afford new ones now. But we'll see.

Very nice! I wish we could get EK4's here.

I agree with the others, keep it oem/stock until you can afford some quality parts.

Oh and on the a/c its not the same, I was thinking the same thing but it looks taller than the usdm version. Maybe its just the picture but that thing is really nice, mad props to you sir. And put them rotas on it and show them that you can still make a car look good without a expensive name.

I like it. I noticed how right below the center stack it has a pull out tray and cigarette lighter,and the vents up top are definitely different than the 96-98, but more similar to 96-98 than 99-00.

Man, I've been cruising the car all day. It's such a nice slow rider. It's so comfortable. It has FK Coilovers and they made the ride so awesome.

I held back for some old people at a crossing and let them over. They smiled at me and waved and I smiled back. Then I blasted it off after they went over, and I could see in the rearview mirror that they stopped going and looked for my car.
The noise is stupidly arousing! It's so insane. I just love the roar it makes when you floor it.
The fun thing is though, that I ride this car alot slower than my old EK3, because I know this car has the power to go fast.

I also took some more pictures of it today
