Hi all,

I just joined this website as I should be picking up a White 3dr hatch next week. I wanted something more specific to EG's so I'm on here too as well as Civic Life.

I love the style of Civic's over in America so I want to use some of that when building up my own Civic.

I'll post up pictures when I pick the car up and I'll be using everyones help to make her look tidy :)

Cheers all!

Got messed around with the white EG, so I picked up a silver one instead :D A nice little 1.5 Lsi. I have been told to do a Mini Me swap, could someone tell me what this is and point me in the right direction for doing it?

Thanks :)

Yep, I'm on civiclife alot, it serves its purpose but this site is far more useful. as for a mini-me, dont bother... just find a D16Z6 for sale if you want some vtec. I'm assuming you have a D15B7, its a very easy swap. If you fancy attempting it, Ill give you a hand, not many parts are needed :thumb:

Cool thanks :) Don't know what I would be looking for! How much you think it would cost to do, gains, etc? I've just been told by loads of people to do it but I'm not sure on the gain factor for the money being spent.

its just not very reliable, the D15 bottom end isnt built for vtec. people say its fine, I dont thinks its worth it for what you end up with... I bought a D16Z6 for £100 with a load of extra parts (but wrong dizzy). That engine had 130bhp when it rolled out of the factory, if you do in fact have a d15b7 those wer 102bhp and non vtec. I noticed a huge diference from a previous Z6... the Z6 is an awesome engine with the original transmission. feels way faster than 130hp... I cant wait to get my Z6 in my car, was hoping to do it next week but doubt ill be able to now which is ghey

Ahh right, sounds good mate. Will have to have a look around. Where can I see what engine I have. Will double check then, was sure I only had 90bhp.
