My names Mick and i'm from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia (for those of you who know/remember Steve Irwin "the crocodile hunter"....I live near his zoo!)

Anyways, I'm new to EG civics, but not new to Hondas or modding cars in general

I sold my latest toy (a Mercedes C180 Kompressor) to buy a house (and keep the wifey happy), but she allowed me to get myself another car. Unfortunately, i had a budget and it had to be cash. The upside is, i scored this awesome example of a civic. Its a 94 EG4 with a d15y7 (sohc 1.5l non-vtec), but i do have plans to drop a b-series engine in the bay later on.

- Tue Nov 06, 2012 1:08 am #319267 I couldn't work out why the headunit wasn't working, so i pulled it out. Pretty sure it needs to be wired in to work! I got to wiring up the unit and got thinking about the speakers. Luckily i checked them because they looked like swiss cheese!!! Next day at work, i had a play with the soundboard and chose the ones i thought best suit the application. I would love a set of Focals, but i feel i can push the $$$$ somewhere better for now ;)

This weekend, i'll give him a service as i'm not 100% sure of when it was last done

Cheers mate! I'd love to do a K swap, but they're still waaaaay out of my budget. I'm sure a b18 or b20 will do fine ;)

Yeah, they are ROH rims. They were common before the massive JDM boom and now everyone wants the jap made gear....including me :D
