can i swap a factory 2002 civic si stereo into my ek 96 civic ex, plug n play or do i have to cut wires. And are projector headlights nice or rice plz help me out

 

probably run into bracket problems before wiring.

 

Even my '98 EX needed a new harness for a '99 Si radio.

 

You can't put it in because of the shape.



Also, the plugs are completely different:



Sorry for the shitty pictures, single halogen bulb > photography.

 

As for the headlights .... that's your decision to make. I personally hate them .... but whatever, it's your car not mine.

However, I will say this --

If you have to ask about what's cool ... I'm willing to bet you haven't been the "killa" of any V8's. Ever.

 

V8s Beat by Inline 4s =s laughing so hard and Peeing my pants lol

 

I used to HATE projectors in imports, But when I bought my daily eg it had them and I guess they've kinda grown on me now, I actually like them

 

i have the stock radio and no anttena on my car.
i heard of an anttena to put on ur windshield. just above the mirror.
but i cant find it does any one now of another soulution.

I guess turbochargers dont exist in kansas?

V8s are nice, don't get me wrong....but people act like they are the solution to all their problems.

 

actually ive beat about 6 v8's in my toyota celica, which had a blown head gasket, and no intake whatsoever hah
mercury grand marquis
old impala
newer impala
old mustang auto 4.7 L
and a couple more

in my civic, i dont race my civic bcuz its slow(yeah ive never been passed 110 in it) , id only t-bo it if it was a dohc, though ive owned a t-bo'd crx and it was still slower than the mustang v8 ive had, not a big v8 fan, not to hate on all the 4bangers

by the way i only ask if its rice bcuz i get different opinions like everyday at school

Really U want to come down try to keep up with me Ill even turn the boost down

 

eran thx for the pics, i guess its not very doiable as far as how easy itll be, well i wanted a cd player oem cuz i hate aftermarket **** in my car,
all u other ****, thx for the help why would u judge people bfore u even know them, typical ricers

 

ur tbo gsr is prob fast but u prob spent more money on it then me buying a v8 which will smoke ur gsr off the line, i bought my 2000 mustang v8(sold) back couple months ago for $3800 only needed bumpers and headlights, so i bought some shitty headlights for $120 and left the front bumper off bcuz the oem one costs a **** load and im not a fan off body kits that look shitty anyways, so i just bought a ram clutch, exhaust, intake, and superchip from my brother and i blew anything in my way, now im not saying ill beat u but for $4500 u can try getting ur gsr charged and pushing 360 pounds of torque

 

Ya well in the import world Tq isnt what we worry about ya we already know are motors are small and wont make numbers V8s will but when a D series Turbo walks on a Super Charged Mustang its hard not to laugh and when I put Buses on one I cry cause im laughing so dam hard

 

O and I got the Integra GSR for 1000 as a shell and built the motor for 3000 and turbo kit for 1200 so ya im sure a mustang cost more

I completely understand wanting all OEM stuff.

This is my setup:



Prelude SH cd player with the dealership-optional Alpine 6-disc.

 

dude i never thought or will think a tbo'd d will beat a charged v8 stang anyday, **** a charged stang will get low 12 second 1/4 times, unless uve got a built engine in ur d ur not going to touch the stang, damn i feel like im representing all v8 wtf v8killaz

 

i like that, cd chger in the glove box im gonna do that, my cd chager is way back, i have to fish the wires and **** this is a good idea i dont even have to take all the stuff apart, bcuz u can prob see the back of the radio just removing the glove box,

wtf i noticed u got like pics of ur car everywhere, u got like a biogrophy on ur car or sumthing if u got more pics, id like to see the exterior

Here's the latest shoot:

Eran that is one sweet ride

 

i read ur article on headlights housing painting it black for ur typr r teg or sumthing well do u have to sand the housing bfore u paint it or just leave it chrome and paint it,

by the way badass car very clean, i like them rims, i dont really like the bra though but still nice

 

For the install, I took my glovebox down, drilled a 3/4" hole with a hole-saw (to run the cable), and then mocked up the bracket locations, and then just bolted it in. Doesn't rattle, doesn't skip, and doesn't interfere with the latch. Reads a lot better than most of the OEM head units too. It ignores imperfections and scratches that my CD player doesn't.

For you, if you're keeping the stock climate control, you can move the radio down to the lower slot and get the CX blockoff plate and dash pocket. I used to run that setup when I had an aftermarket head unit:



The part numbers for that dash cup:

77253-S01-A00ZA - Pocket ASSY., CENTER PANEL (black) - $10.12

And the blockoff plate can be gotten here:

$18 + shipping

Once you move it down to the lower console, you no longer have to worry about the shape, and that opens you to TONS of radios/cd players of different colors and design:

94-97 Accords
99-00 Civic
99-00 Civic Si
97-98 Prelude
99-01 Prelude
97-01 CR-V
etc.
