Does anyone have a list of parts that are interchangeable from the DC5 and EP3 to the EM2?

I was just reading up on it a lot and kinda curious... Tax return is comin' in and I was thinking of dumping it into my '03.

On another note... It's pretty lame that the Honda Fit has more upgrades and mods out there than ES1's and EM2's... Just saying. it bugs the hell outta me. And all Mugen parts for 1st gen Fits are 25% off right now and all used Mugen parts for 1st gen Fits are 50% off.... yes... FIFTY. mudderfudders man.

 

I've wanted to make a thread like this for awhile.

I'll start..
Dash Board,
Gauge Cluster,
Front Seats,
Rear Seats,
Door Panels.

 

Umm... Dash board? Not from an EP3, it isn't. The same story goes for the door panels.

This is from the Interior section of the FAQ's:
As for suspension components, see here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/rsx-suspension-01-05-civics-1715937/


Now, in regards to the Fit, you need to remember that the Civic had hardly any presence in Japan for the 7th generation. The coupe didn't exist over there, and since the car was becoming too large for their road system, it was a cast-off car design that marked the end of the Japanese Civics (non Type-R, of course). So, it was definitely not a money making chassis for Mugen or most aftermarket manufacturers, due to it's lack of appeal to the public. Thus, it received little to no aftermarket support.

 

From a DC5 they are, I should have been more specific, but it was just a quick post during a home work break.

 

This is true. I thought that I added a line up there pretty much saying that I understand why there are more upgrades, but I guess I forgot to put that in. I used to hate the fit... But now since there are so many options for them, its growing on me and im sort of thinking of getting one. 1st gen, of course.

 

They suffer from an antiquated drivetrain for motorsport enthusiasts, but there is decent aftermarket support there for them as well. I don't know of a company making a K-swap mount kit, but I do know that K-series drivetrains can fit.

 

I've seen a few k-swapped fits before. Pretty nice stuff... PRETTY nice stuff... real clean fit, too.

 

Hasport makes K-series mounts for the Fit.

 

Yeah, without funds... I haven't been doing much research towards alternative car builds.

 

EP3 parts:

Engine
Seats (rear seats will require modification)
Strut bar (rear)
Sway bar (with bushings)
Tie bar
Rear disc brakes (Acura EL will work, too)
Rear camber kit
Rear lower control arms
Steering wheel
Shift *****
02-03 Type R front emblem
Coilovers



DC5 parts:

Engine
Bushings
Sway bars (with bushings)
Tie bar
Strut bar (I have the DC5 GReddy on my EM2)
Gauge cluster
Dash board (with modification)
Center console
Seats (rear seats will require modification)
5-lug conversion
Hood dampers
Coilovers (with DC5 tie rods, and modification of the rear bushings)
Rear camber kit
Side-marker lights
Short shifter (including Revo SS)
Shift *****





Note: This is NOT a complete list!! And not everything is a direct bolt-on fitment! Make note of the size of your crash bolts for the front coilovers! If they are 14mm, you will need reduction washers in order to use coilovers with 16mm holes! Please do some research (or ask questions) before buying anything and trying to install it!

I kinda scribbled this together, so corrections and additions are more than welcome!

Some of these items have DIY's for installation. Please view the FAQ's for the links. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/faqs-guidelines-read-before-posting-2101211/

 

Thats what i was talkin about dude. haha

 

Question.... Will the rear lower arm bar for a DC5 fit the EM2?
http://www.kingmotorsports.com/p-296...r-arm-bar.aspx

What does one gain with this part?

 

Yes, it will fit, but its more a cosmetic piece than anything.

 

True. Unless you're putting on a rear subframe brace for the purpose of installing a rear anti-sway bar, there's not too much to be gained from the subframe bar.

 

That would be a "tie bar" and is listed in the "interchangeable parts" above.

 

Does anyone know if the 07 si 4 door civic seats fit the es1 4door? Im asking becuase I found a really good deal on a set and I'm tired of how the rsx leathers in the rear are not on properly. If anyone can please shed some light I would greatly appreciate the info before the buy. I'm sure the fronts fit.

 

EL Leather seats are a direct swap and fit properly.

 

thanks so much, im looking forward to getting them in now. I just got my 1st es1 today and im looking up as much as I can. and looking for inspiration

 

Do the rear LCA's from an EP3 fit? I read somewhere that they do, and i just wanna double check.

 

EP3 and EM2 rear LCA's are interchangeable, DC5 are not.


I've always wondered why Honda complicated things and rotated the LCA bolt pattern 33° degrees on the DC5..

 

Are you going to keep asking about parts that are listed above? LCA = lower control arm.

That's twice now. Ahaha..

 

damn. hahaha. must be a long day you know? hahahaha. i swear i looked at that list but didnt see it. oh well.

 

Another quick question. Do the sideskirts from a 07 civic si 4door fit the es1 and if so, is there anyone that has done it? Anything you have to modify?

 

I doubt they'd be a direct fit, 7g's have a 103.1 inch wheel base and 8g sedans have a 106.3 inch wheel base. Anything is possible if you have the skills for some custom fitting though.

 

true. I am just really new to the 01-05 civics, and i noticed they don't come with side skirts and realized that they are hard to come across. so im looking for possibility in other skirts. i know there's an "octane" side skirt, but i keep getting different pics through google, and they seem bulky when a clean look is all i want.
