why not?

my car is 17 years old man...

this aint singapore where u have to scrap ur car after 10 years

received this in the mail today....been wanting one for quite some time

Skunk2 Billet Battery Tie Down Black Series

basically the battery holder la... like this

this particular unit was bought directly at skunk2's HQ in US... my friend went there in June and brought it back..hahahha

puasa is over....so to my muslim civic brothers n sisters...selamat hari raya!!!

to non muslims...happy holidays!

drive safe!

no saman yet n insyallah no saman later on oso... coz ill be driving my sister's car for outstation travels..hahaha

cant drive my civic simply bcoz i had a f-ed up night last night... took the car out at about 3am for a quick rempit session on federal highway and while in 4th gear @ 7k RPM...my clutch kaputed...put it in gear and tekan minyak, absolutely nothing...

i can select gears so im pretty sure the gb is still good...plus when my car came out of the workshop a couple of weeks ago mechanic said he feels like my clutch cannot support already.

put in 1st gear... or any gear...release clutch..n nothing...car doesnt move n doesnt stall..clutch pedal feels like normal and all fluids are good...no leaks and no pump failures

was stranded at the side of federal highway for about 30 minutes coz couldnt find the number for tow trucks..plus there were groups of rempits going around....luckily none of them had the "robbing mood"

thankfully a police patrol car came by and i got them to help me out...but it even took them quite a number of calls to get a tow truck for me.

according to ex-owner...stock type r clutch


yeah...really thankful they came...if not..i sangkut there til dunno when

so i gave the policeman RM50 as a gesture of thanks...no bribing wan... hahahha...coz they made alot of calls n stayed n chatted with me til the tow truck came...which was quite awhile...


didnt sleep at all that night...went to my mom's place and only slept there at about 1130am.....for only 1.5 hours... so it was a very tiring 1st day raya for me...luckily it was a fun day...hahahahha

im using it...came with the car... reliable yes...but the spring is a lil hard. so when u press the pedal, it feels a lil stiff (for throttle cable....drive by wire wa tatau)

better to get the Skunk2 Alpha... for B series, pricing is about the same.

try n research the pricing for Skunk2 Alpha series.. dont bother with the pro series and compared with the S90... if its affordable then apa lagi?

chrome most striking???

at most it makes me wanna strike the car with lots n lots of anger

if its just the hose ur looking for can try looking for custom ones... perhaps using steel braided hoses?

dunno if this is possible or not for ur hose issues but should be ok i guess

"out of vtec"....wat about within vtec?


same here man..hopefully will be making changes too early next year

naaah... MPV too expensive...thinking of getting something cheap and more suitable for family use to carry me, my wife and my baby... a 4 door sedan

interesting... gonna keep this in mind... coz.... as posted above

actuallyyyyyyyyyyyy....planning on selling off the hatch....then use the funds for a cheap stock standard EG 4 door n K swap the bugger with K100 n paired with GAB SS

can use for family n bring it out on track days

would really like EK sedan...especially ones converted to virs... but that would mean no K....and i want that K.. best engine for track imho.. direct pasang, tune and jalan.. not much to worry about. truly is the best engine honda ever produced.


but this plan isnt gonna be starting anytime soon... gotta fix the clutch on the hatch and find a buyer for it first... n i aint planning on selling it cheap.

ive had my eye on the chevy nabira and citra. but not much feedback about them... but i see ALOT of citras on the road though not much nabiras.

but MPV may have to postpone

the espace any good? spare parts availability n cost? fuel consumption? reliability?

yeah i just saw some on mudah and that thing is blardy huge man... but i definitely cant buy that...for a few reasons

1/ wife will be driving the car most of the time...abit hard for her to drive a car this huge...
2/ a quick search on autoworld forum showed results stating that its unreliable

not fond of 5 lugs... rim choices limited and expensive

no problems with that...the hatch is actually a double duty car now too... whenever i drive that is.. the kenari is mostly for my wife to use...

which is why i dont drive my car around that much.. only on weekends and only to places where im sure the parking is safe... even then, i still take extra security precautions.

hes just pointing u to a place where ull get even more and even better answers.

the FD owners in this thread all senyap already... the active ones are the ones who are more performance oriented

all engines are durable... but at 306k...id recommend u open it up and do a simple overhaul... mebbe the sleeves need re-honing /reboring and new pistons to fit into the sleeves... check on the bearings etc.

good opportunity to upgrade to B16B pistons also.. then can do ur timing belt etc 1 shot.
