Honda
Model
Civic EJ9/EK3
Year

Description
My first car. Its a pre-facelift EJ9/EK3 civic hatch, almost entirely stock. Bought it for ca 1400€ + 100€ for a set of aluminum MSW85's as winter wheels. Somewhat rarer airbagless model. Has the 75hp D14A3 from factory, but the intake limiter gasket has been removed, which makes the engine identical to the 90hp D14A4.

Build Story & Project Info

Build Story
I've always loved jdm/japanese tuner cars and since my drivers license was coming up it was time to buy my first car. So i bought an old civic with pretty major cosmetic damage, luckily no mechanical or structural damage. My plan is to restore and build it similarly to a kanjo civic. Plans include D15/D16Z6 Swap, suspension revamp, chargespeed bodykit, repaint, custom livery, enkei wheels & advan tires, misc. Chassis upgrades. Maybe some light tuning and facelift conversion if possible. I was inspired by the style of the kanjo civics of Osaka and Nightride's "civic gang" builds. My goal is to build a fun, nimble, lightweight car thats best suited for twisty roads and racetracks rather than a high power, fast in a straight line type-build.
