maddriver garage??

Just means that the maintainance and motor oil probably 'cincai' already.
For 28K, keep looking for a more pristine EF. It's out there somewhere.

Owh on top of that, my budget is around 20-24k... :/

However that owner is willing to release for 26k. Not worth right for the spec he has for the car? Only downside is the body rust. :/ surface rust to be specific. And also a rust hole in the boot area. Owh well...

if your budget is around there, look for 20k price efs, put aside that 4k for repairs. Usually no matter how pristine, will have some minor repairs to do. Worse case scenario where after buying, gearbox synchros mampos. Not to mentions other maintainance when u start driving it around.

crome is a basically a software to make a custom chip...but the features are pretty good... almost as good as hondata. some even say that once u got crome theres no need for hondata... though i do agree to a certain extent and plan on getting crome very soon... i still have full intentions of going hondata later on....crome is just a temporary solution to my current lack of tuning..and my engine is in desperate need of tuning...especially ignition tuning

http://www.tunewithcrome.com/home.html

avantech is a honda builder/tuner based in sri kembangan.. very reputable and known to produce some really powerful cars. at the moment their most powerful car is an EG Drag car...B18C-R Turbo pushing out about 620wHP on the dynojet

wat else u should focus on when buying an old car.. .the typical wear and tear... also check the door hinges.. when u open the door...make sure it doesnt drop.. and when u close it.. the "hook" goes in nicely... to fix u need to replace the door hinges.. which isnt that easy to find unless u get brand new (if possible)...and then theres also the bushings...ALL bushings.. recommend getting a complete kit aka full car... around RM1k siap pasang depending on the brand u buy.

some Y1 and S1 have LSDs in them...but yeah... 4.4FD to me is the best all rounder. N3E is basically the B18C-R gearbox with a 4.785 final drive...id still prefer the 4.4 though...had a friend with B18C-R and 4.7fd... said ratios were too close..he still prefers the 4.4...n i gotta agree with him... best ratio for all...

plonking in ur own B18C-R...dont really need the gearbox if ur already on a B-series VTEC....basically just replace the old engine with the B18C-R and use back everything else including the gearbox....

one thing to take note.. gearbox transplants into EFs isnt that direct... EFs are built for clutch cable.. and everything after is clutch pump...Y1 and S1 bolt in directly.. YS1 requires some knocking to the chassis to make abit of space to fit the bigger gearbox housing. every other gearbox is clutch pump.. which means ull need to get a conversion kit.. either from cable to pump...or pump to cable..

and since u mention ur a student...i assume this will be ur daily runabout? i think i should advise u against getting a honda entirely.. B series may be reliable...but they do have their issues..and if its gonna be ur daily runabout, itll mean that ull be parking ur car practically everywhere... and hondas are getting stolen way too much lately...especially EGs n EKs.. EFs not much....but there has been a couple of cases that i know about.


ANY EF for 28k is overpriced imho....unless it has a K in it like i said..hahahahaaha

anyway... i got fake parts too in my car... but im super anal when it comes to maintenance..

i also dont keep service records...hahahhahaha

the car in the ad may not have many rare parts...but rare parts to me isnt wat makes the price worth it or not.. to me this car already has the B18C-R and gearbox...and OBD1.. me is liking that OBD1 ...but yeah...it really is overpriced.



stick to the H22A... going K is expensive..playing K is also expensive...i dunno the difference in roadtax...but a K20 transplant is gonna cost u about 20k... halfcut alone is already 14k cheapest i found...so forking out that much money to save on road tax, dunno if its worth it or not.



apa error code?


agreed... get a car for 20k, balance to repair etc....or mebbe a much better security system with GPS tracking n immobilizer as well.


maddriver's garage... look for a forumer here with the nick maddriver...hes based at the mines.....

Yeah its gonna be a daily driver... But im pretty into this particular honda... Im pretty sure it will be safe because im very aware of where i park the car and all. Previously i owned a satria gti. Its been awhile. Daily drove it no problems. So i think should be fine la as long as its not KL area. I don't mind small and common maintenance with the car... But big maintenance could bother me sometimes... Yea you mentioned B series should be reliable, but what are the possible issues that will come by? Let me know more man...

Added on July 9, 2012, 3:21 pmHmmmm. Guess that ef should be out of my list? :/

Added on July 9, 2012, 6:54 pmhttp://www.mudah.my/Honda+Civic+EF-16370644.htm

And is this EF good? Some of his spec:

Enjin b16a head b16a piston baru, seal baru, cam gsr, spring type r, hassport
mounting usa, arp headstud, wiring dc2 p73, meter dc2, seat crx EF8, linkage
EF8 bushing spoon, short shift jasma, tanabe sustec adjustable suspension,
gearbox Y1 LSD, clutch 6 kaki custom, works fuel regulator, tayar potenza
RE002. Dan banyak lagi...
Owh he also said 19k nego... Hmm only downside is no EF9 bodyparts and a set of nice wheels. Mehhh ahah :/

aduhhhh


Code i dint see it bro...but my technician told me is sensor..temperature sensor i think gonna be replace this sat...i took my car just now...after engine check light is gone only i start my engine...tested on highway engine check light on pop up again...

common problems would be IACV.. distributor.. VTEC solenoid leak... gearbox syncro....

n the car u posted looks good...me likes...hasport and arp...yummy.. looks as if it only needs an EF9 bumper and ur good to go... perhaps a J's Racing spoiler (i have a friend who sells this)... rims...subjective of course....

n perhaps get rid of that jasma short shifter

n can always shove in a B18C-R or B20B later on....

and for 19k...this would definitely be on my list.

how about this? look garang also



or honda ex/cb

Owh so are those problems common? Hmmm his chassis looks good right? Yeap only thing left is an EF9 bumper and respray the hood. Hmmmm alright i will go view the car then. ermmm my plans are to get a B16B block, S4C tranny, with ORC clutch and also the clutch pump with the assembly. Hmmm....
Rims im planning to get my friend's set of meisters S1 16x7. calculated cost for the block, gb and clutch is about 6.5k for hardware. Installation and everything should be about 1.5k... I think la. Hahahah.

Any advice on this take? Lolllll...
Owh ya definitely will get rid of the jasma short shifter And also about the J's racing spoiler, does it look good on EFs?

foung this



rm4k wiring n ecu kecuali gearbox saja xda. k24a odysey

Have a friend using crome, it's essentially like chipping your ecu, except the chip has your "custom tune" map inside.

Depends on how high you can rev your engine actually. I tried 9K rev limit B18c and 8k rev limit b18C. If you don't have 9K rpm, 4.7 will make gears feel short. In the case of B20B, 4.4 feels short for daily driving lol. I shift from 1-5 from traffic light at 1-3K rpm, takes me all of 10 secs. 2 secs per gear (light throttle, slow normal driving la)

For me, better he stick with non-hydraulic G/box, unless he can buy/modify in hydraulic gearbox since that costs $$$

But you also not selling your car. You'd be surprise how people want to let go their of car tend to ignore maintainance, and concentrate on getting it spray painted so it looks good only.

---

Added on July 10, 2012, 12:56 amOh ORC clutch. I'm not a fan of racing clutches for daily driving. I'm using Exedy Stage 1 organic also damn leceh already.
Meisters S1 is nice. Those thick lips are something I can only dream about since I did the five lug conversion to EK9. Cannot fit anything below +42 offset for my front end.
