Default ek side skirts on a eg

hello, i know this has been covered... but the site is all messed up and the search is not working, anyways i just bought a 92 hatch with a b16 swap in it, what ek side skirts will fit, i know i have to custom hang them, if i remember right ek hatch skirts are too short, and ek coupes are too long but can be cut down to fit is this right? the car is teal for now and going to go championship white with a spoon front lip, ek skirts, and a rear lip, with c/f hood, hatch and spoon wing. anyone know where i can get black recaro seats with red stiching?, what do you guys think?

also it's a b16a2 thats been converted to odb1, and I want to turbo it? what kit should i go with and what should be done to the internals? pistons etc?

thanks Tom
P.s
Sold my coupe for a pick-up and glad i'm finally getting a civic as a toy for once and not a dd

Ill do this in order.

1. The hatch side skirts from an "ek" will fit perfectly. no cutting and they are not short. just need to drill new holes.

2. check the marketplace for recaro's with red stitching.

3. as for the turbo. i know your gonna hear this a bunch but, it depends on what your looking to acomplish with it. look in forced induction at people's set ups and ask them how to protect your block and head from death.

Thanks, for the info, going to get some skirts tomorrow from the scrap yard they had some there a few months back so i would think that their still there. i get the car tomorrow and found some better stuff.. it's a 95cx not a 92 SCORE!!!... and it's a jdm b16a even better not a a2 like i thought

As for the turbo setup, i'm hoping i can find something in the Toronto area i'm from Sudbury so hopefully someone can help me out

actually ek skirts are too LONG! not too short and require cutting and mudgards to look complete.

sure you will probably have to cut them... but if you cut them up by the front wheels and source out a set of mud flaps you won't even notice you cut them ;-)

Sideskirts on the 2dr and 3dr are exactly the same. Same part number from Honda, anyway. You have to cut them to fit a 92-95 hatchback, but they are the right length for the 93-95 coupes. I believe it's roughly 4" you'll have to cut off, and it'll be off the front edge. Once the length is to your spec, you'll have to line it up to redrill most of the holes in the rocker panel. I'm not sure, but I think a couple of the holes line up, just not all of them.

Good luck

I believe its about 2 inches cut off the front and will need to mess around with the white clip cutaways too. but its possible.
