Default PROJECT: Carnival Yellow EG6 rhd

My Spoon eg6 build







Updates and pics pg 10-14-16-17


Hey,

Im Kenny i live in Ireland ive been a member for quit a while great site.Ive decided to start a build thread for my new eg6 civic.

This is my 7th civic in 3 years including EK9,EG6's,EK4 but i have decided to keep this one and build it into something.Ive always preferred the eg shape to other honda's.I live in ireland where im a mechanic in a Honda dealership which is great because i get a 25% discount on all parts and that helps alot.


the plans for the car are going to be to fill the car with quality JDM SPOON parst.Engine will hopfully be K20-R from a DC5 integra type r but this wont be until i finish the exterior and get it looking as i want it and when funds allow its a expensive conversion but def worth it imo.in the past ive done B20,B18,B16 conversion and im pretty much done with the B series want to try K :D


It took my agent in japan a very long time to find this car for me as they are extrmly rare in this colour and especially in this condition as yellow fades big time in japan.And i also wanted one in standard form so i could make it my own.

so the car is:

Honda civic eg6
Carnival Yellow y-53
124klm
comes with fog,armrest,gathers speakers
full yellow super rare eg6 interior
Honda alloys
and thats preety much it stock just how i wanted it

as much as i hate bright colored cars, i'd rock the **** out of that. i love the non-generic colored interiors. i'd jump all over a green set if i could find one

ABS might be a pain, for tucked the bay, if you were interested in doing it, otherwise it's great. Also LSD and TCS, is a good plus
