new guy with a eg6 (updated with many pictures!)

hi, well im new, from far away, with a honda eg6 sir2. im looking around for ideas and good info. im looking at super charging and it seems the usa have the best super chargers money can buy.

other than that im just saying hi! il add a thread of my car a little later, but where do i put it?

cheers!

you can just post a pic of your car in here if you want, and welcome!

Pictures are good in here.

Well to start this off, i put a deposit on this car in july 2008 and waited for the whole import business to happen. these where the pictures i saw and received before actually seeing the car in real life. (scary thing to do as i like to have a good look around cars before purchashing them, specially for the amount of money i was spending)

for those who dont know. its a Honda Civic Sir2 with a b18c (integra jdm engine) indside.

after a long trip of getting back home at 4.30am on sunday morning (very tired as i had no sleep) i got it back to near where i live (stopped at a mates on the way home) i did have a problem on the way back though. the air con pulley snapped off but after having a chat to the bloke who sold me the car, he sent me a ek9 pulley so i can loose the air con and power steering.

and she dont scrub, i dont no how, but lets say she is low!

after having it for 2 weeks, i wanted to see how this would do at a drag strip, so i went with friends to one. i know i can get a quicker time (hoping) but i still was getting used to the close gears and what best revs to launch this from. the best i got was 14.3 quarter mile. before the day came i got a very cheap de-cat done for like $15. i got exactly what i paid for! lol (not great)

the alloys where a nightmare.

this is a little video of inside the car of a sprint i did. the temp gauge dose not work due to having the defi gauges with the water temp. i did not run this from cold.

well come december i was getting bored of the looks and continually washing the 10 spokes of the alloys so swapped them for some rota slip streams. crazy i know, but iv always loved these! also swapped for amber indicators rather than the clears.

also the latest part of the car is iv put new seats in to make my drive slightly more comfy than the bride bucket seat. evo 3 recaros. i choose these as they have the same style as the dc2 recaro's and iv already had the later style evo seat out of the 7 in a previous car. i think that these suit it and kind of match with the steering wheel.

well next week my car is going to a tuners, and getting a new de-cat pipe, dc-sports 4-1 header and my old management which was on a previous car is going on (hks f-con is) then a re-map. hopefully il find any problems and increase some more powers!

i have a job interview in 2 weeks time and if i get it, il be comfortable to looks at super charging this (for useable power) as iv had a near on 200bhp car fwd which didnt like grip though boost is alot of fun! but im looking at doing lots of track days so wanting that stable power through out the rev range.

thankyou for looking!

holy crap! soooo nice!

is that a combination lock on the boot?

i dig the hatch latch 8)
