Honda Civic EG6 SIR-II

bit of a long story how it came about but basicly long story short missus is moving down here from preston and needed a car with cheaper insurance while saving for her holiday in Ibiza, and coming down here after various messers on ebay while she was trying to sell it,

in a way the civic brought us closer and helped get us together as we were best friends when we went all the way to Scotland to pick it up back in January, so the car always held a place in my heart being special to us both,

anyway at the time i had just spent £2400 on an engine for my 106 xsi at the time built by ricky p rpm, 16v running at power itbs etc..... in turn he did a shit job of the conversion i got peed off and decided the love was gone for building a car to fight against the hondas and decided me buying the missus eg6 everyone was happy i had an excellent base as ive always loved the eg's she got to still enjoy getting involved in the car and can buy it back, ive owned an eg before when toa was going, buit i give up on it as it was a little too rotten, this time me and the missus have spent good money and got a good solid base and even better its not just a uk shell with an engine swap its a genuine sir2 import with all the history etc etc...........

anyway its a little rough round the edges i want to go for perfection on this car so first real jobs a full respray inside and out in the same standard granada black again, full rollcage and anything that unbolts is going carbon fibre im looking to go along the lines of what you see on the net the spoon and mugen style eg's

15" E30 BBS to go on as i cannot reach a decision on the work wheels being so kanjo and oldskool jdm but for now im going to roll on the bbs wheels till i can decide.



old owner hacked the feck out of the dash with gauges and alsorts and even trying to bodge a douple din so i had to source a dash




also i ordered a RHD Aeriel blank and Dewiper bung from SimAuto so the car could be dewipered propperly



got myself subscribed to Honda Tuner as i love toilet reading lol



test fitting bbs's (already got plans for the colour of these they look ace photoshopped)




leese's new car

dewiper and aeriel removed








pal of rw developments starlet hybrid






rear tints removal and tidy the extra wires from the wiper motor that now isnt there biggest pet hate tinted windows nice rollcage in there on view soon

all glue shit removed from the windows and plastics cleaned up






made a start stripping interior out

That's a sweet looking eg you have there very nice

cheers mate

Nice eg

some updates as i havent been here for ages taken from another site

and im currently up to the point the car is slowly being stripped down, bumpers and wings removed wings waxoiled inside etc, full respray inside and out in the oem granada black again, side strips all painted and sideskirts painted in the oem paint so they look standard, any surface rust treated propperly as the shells only got surface rust fortunatly no rot which is a good thing, so there isnt going to be much more progress for a little while.

updates at last mrs is all settled so ive got back on and ive imported a few goodies from the states, car will be going for paint very very soon it will get there once ive removed sound deadening lol

im currently facing a driving ban after being caught out by unmarked police earlier in the year in my old project, so we could even be seeing a 300bhp eg6 next year IF im off the road till then my spirits havent been dampened i did have a perfectly clean licence but a spot of racing has probably used up all my lives in one go

anyway here goes
loads of goodies up for sale one of the days lol

random pics






currently stripping out and some removed







new dash STILL to go in itll get there and be one epic sir


bbs wheels fitted (just a temporary measure possibly repainted as i do like them but ultimatly looking for something cali/jdm to go on)



vented anger from ck engineering





test fit just to have a quick look will be a direct feed for induction and fitted much better when its really fitted after paint



oil and filter change with hamp and motuls finest




J's Racing/Chargespeed front lip imported from USA, and new oem stickers for after paint





as you can see now starting to build a picture of what im after, currently the car has a genuine Spoon rear spoiler but im importing a BYS one in, as the current is spoon im thinking of keeping both and being greedy lol, cant wait for this car to hit the road tomorrow im going to wind the coilovers down a little im thinking.

to be continued................

today had an attempt at winding the coilys down and realigning the front bumper and some of the subframe so that it all sat pretty again as a previous owner must have removed the front bumper at some point








decided to lower it some more but the rears are siezed solid coated them in wd40 and will have another go tomorrow also snapped a rear locking collar so could do with somewhere that refurbs hks hypermaxs

also trial fitted some wedsport tc05s( unsure if they are genuine either way they are temporary wheels untill the respray and carbon fibre bonnet, front wings, mirrors and boot, and a rollcage and then i will look at propper wheels )

also i used to have an ST205 Celica Gt4 that i robbed the Rays Engineering wheel nuts off before selling, so i tried them on they look niver than the black Works nuts.

mrs won me a pacman from blackpool for the civic so thats going to be the theme


removed the spoon spoiler for winter and brought an oem one so cover can scratch that



im in a club called L_R you have to have yellow headlights and jdm car to be in


and treats curtousy of the mrs, just need to get the front wings, bonnet and mirrors now.



removed Spoon spoiler for winter



brought a set of Work Serge's from Chopaholic on here





with wheel bolts in





test fit they dont fit over 282s but a set of spacers will sort it but im not sure of the offset????







was going to test fit the boot but ill do that when the rears stripped out more and i can disconnect the lights etc.....

starting to build up parts still front wings, bonnet, mirrors to get before respray, wheels are going the oem honda grey and all polished and refurbed professionally.

finally stripped the rear out at last
























then had a quick test fit of the boot which was a pain just to see if it fitted ok before having to put it back on

all inside now stripped soon i can start tidying wires and looms and go over all the connections as i go, also remove sound deadening etc

wiring on everything is a mess ill make a nice job of it re-route tidy in some copex etc.....

under the carpets i found a few jdm extras lol
