Default Civic 1.8 VTI MB6. Need help on various issues!

3 months ago i imported a Civic 1.8 Vti type MB6 from Germany, I live in Norway.
The chassis is the same as a Rover 400, but everything else is pure Honda. Its amazing to drive and yes its speedy as hell. I have a video of the speedometer at 240 kmh.

Problem 1.The vehicle is equiped with a B18C4, same as your Integra GSR. I hva problems finding exhaustparts and have been in contact with Kteller, but i want to avoid buing custom parts if i can. So if anybody could give me advise on that i would be grateful. I want a deep brutal sound and as much juice as the motor can squese out!

Problem 2. The lugpattern is 4x114,3 but with ET55. The car is lowered 35mm and at the moment its equiped with 16" rims with 195/45/16 falken tyres. The problem is that these rims are boring, and i want a diffrent rim style. I like Konig rims. Konig Hurry and Konig MP3 are the coolest but will they fit?

Problem 3. Hood. The grill is part of the hood and doesnt look like anything else Honda produces. The car has 3 scrathes and bumps in the hood. I want carbon.

Problem 4. Styling. The only ones that sell styling to this modell is http://www.tss-tuning.de
Let me know if styling from other models will fit.

Problem 5. Cant find lexus lights for my car.







Thanks in advance

Sorry borgeolsen, but you bought wrong car to do any styling on it. Maybe you should ask guys from England here on H-T, if they have anything for your car.
Happy New year to all from Slovenija!

Looks real nice, like someone else said, looks kinda like an Accord. Leave it stock and slap on a turbo.

Do you know him and this is a inside joke?

If not, don't say anything at all if thats all your going to say.

As far as the parts, Japanese Performance has alot of ads which show parts for your car. Its an English magazine, if we can get it in the 'states I am sure its available over there.

Good luck and nice car.

sorry to break the bad news but the 1.8 vti market for both performance and stylings mods doesnt exist. we get the same question asked by owners here in u.k with same reply.

there simply is nothing available for you car or very very little. supersprint do an exhaust and manifold and thats about it. other than that your only option is have custom parts made but not cheap.

beleive engine is same as u.s gsr so best to just look into what engine internal mods can be done and build a little sleeper. there are superchargers/turbo's available which few guys over here have done but again in europe this is very expensive

nice car

Buy a custom header with a side exit =]

That will solve all your exhaust problems.

I remember seeing a thread about this yesterday. Some guy wanted to change his front end over to look like the original posters car. There was a link to a website that had that conversion, and that it was "bolt on." So one would think it would work backwards too. I'll try and find that site again.

edit-I guess if you want a carbon hood you would have to convert your whole front end to a USDM look. i'm still lookin for that website.

edit 2-Here is the thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=974129

Here is the website with the conversion on it
http://store.racerwheel.org/ab....html

I was thinkin of the wrong car.

I agree with you all on it looking like a Accord. That's what I thought when I first saw it. It's nice though. Nice engine.

seriously, its like a frankenstein. its got the accord tail lights and trunk. but the license plate bedding is sized for euro so its smaller. then adding a eg rear bumper. looks like and accord from the side then in the front its like a mish mash of an ek front bumper and grill style. then an accord headlight and hood. good stuff.
