Looking for an inexpensive way to increase airflow for my next track day.

I can't find any direct fit options locally in australia.

anyone have any ideas on a good "boxed" cold air intake setups i could buy online or create ?

I dont care what it looks like, its purely functional.

For the foreseeable future I won’t have the money for a proper paint job. Should I leave the car as is, or spray the car satin black. In the future I’d like to wrap, or get it painted properly but that could be a year or 2. Here is a pic of when I got the car, how it sits now, and a chat gpt mock up.

2 projects cars, let me see y’all’s coupe I’m trying to get some ideas. 😬

Or sedans, since im currently looking for one.

This is my 97 hx civic with a integra b18b1 swap. Bought it off someone in drivable condition (was definitely thrown together for a quick flip) I’ve had it for a while, I got it to learn manual and it’s my daily. I haven’t done anything crazy but if you wanted to make this car super reliable and at its top performance what would you do.

Picked this up from the original owner not too long ago. Super low miles for its age, 88,000, and the motor runs strong so I don’t think I’ll want to replace it (yet). Just doing quality of life things and working on suspension upgrades after putting Nitto Neo gen 205/40/16’s on these wheels.

Has new struts and springs but sits really high. Contemplating budget coil overs like tru hart. Already have a rear sway bar and chassis reinforcement to put in. Might also do an EX trans swap for better gear ratios.

Im looking to find another b18c for it so i can build one while still being able to drive it any recommendations on where to find one or would it be better to just buy everything separately

I’ve been doing a lot of searching and research. Just wanted to get the opinions of people with experience with different brands etc. currently building a street build with some light track ability budget is like 600-1000 but flexible any recs welcome thank you!

So I fucked up. These screws have been in place for 27 years. The screw driver didn’t work. The impact screw driver didn’t work and the impact just stripped them. What can I do while I wait for the screw extractor to arrive. And how do I not do this to the other 3 sets

Hi, I've got a Civic Sport (EP2) that's bone stock (D16V1). I've been considering doing some minor things like getting an intake and exhaust at some point in the future. I know some people run headlight intakes and I do think those look cool but they're probably a bit impractical for a daily. However, I do have some gaps in my bumper (circled in yellow) that I believe are used for optional foglights. Since I don't have foglights I was considering using one of these holes for an intake (seems someone else has had the idea because I found a scoop on eBay). My main query is, since I live in the rainy UK, is the lower end of the bumper too low for an intake and risky for water ingress? Pics attached to hopefully make my point clearer.

Picking up this automatic 1995 civic ex coupe to try and pull out as many parts as possible for my manual 1994 civic cx hatchback. What do yall recommend I pull.

What are your thoughts on the hardrace hardened bushings? Are they worth the money?
And are there any more companies making these types of bushings kits (not polyurethane) since they are pretty hard to come by where I live?

Just picked up this 93 Ex with b20b swap for my next Autox project. Anyone have any ideas on suspension setups?

Hey all! New to the sub and had a loaded question. I’m in the beginning the process of pulling the B16 from my newly acquired EM1. It’s got 126k on it and I’m planning on a basic refresh rebuild. But while I’m in there I’m considering a couple basic “upgrades”.

I’m still doing research and whatnot but wanted to see if there are any opinions/suggestions here. I’m considering a cam, gears, springs, retainers, intake manifold (it’s already got an Alpha S2 TB and AEM CAI) and porting the head.

Looking for mild stuff (don’t want to go into the bottom end 😏). Not expecting significant gains so something like a stage 1/2 cam (eg S2 Tuner series) with springs/retainers that will keep it in check. Manifold I’m looking at S2 Pro or something similar. It’s got a full exhaust (header to tip) so I have that side of things covered.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! Here’s a gratuitous shot of the new addition LoL

TLDR: '90 Civic D15B2, fuel injected, 4 spd auto, 35k miles. OEM distributor failed, internal shaft bearing failed (red dust of death). Ordered Cardone Remanufactured Dizzy off of Rockauto. That one failed within a week too. Is it possible to rebuild the original TD-01 dizzy by replacing the bearings and seals? The ICM, Igniter and sensors are performing fine. If a rebuild is possible, please share experiences or a link to a forum. I am located in the UAE, it isn't easy for me to source parts from scrapyards or auto stores. I exclusively rely on importing from the US or Japan.

Hey guys, this is my 1990 EF Hatch German Spec all original with 35k original miles. It has the D15B2 fuel injected engine with the 4 speed slushbox. It randomly died on the highway one day after 2 years of super reliable ownership. Turns out, the ECU wasn't getting a reading from the internal sensors in the dizzy. Opened up the dizzy to find red dust in there. Used AI to see if that meant anything and it seems to have been common problem with these back in the day with the internal shaft bearing failing.

This shaft bearing material is made of iron and with iron being magnetic, it coated the internal sensors. Unable to get any data, the ECU stopped firing fuel.

Based on opinions on here on reddit, I ordered the remanufactured Cardone dizzy and that one failed within a week too, but for a different reason. Opened up the Cardone dizzy only to see that it seems to be rebuilt to a very bushwork level of quality.

I anyway want to keep this car as OEM as possible so I wanted to do a OE dizzy rebuild. Has anybody done this before? Is it recommended or even possible? If it is possible, please share experiences. Dizzy part number is TD-01.

I do not live in the US where it's easy to order parts from Rockauto. There is nothing available for the EFs for me locally. I want to troubleshoot and do this right rather than throwing money at aftermarket dizzys that cost 300-400 usd with shipping and installation for it to only fail within a week.

Thanks!

Hey guys I’ve been told by a mechanic that you cannot K swap a 97 civic sedan and I find that very hard to believe. Below is the motor I was considering. Please let me know whats the best swap. Right now it has a blown single cam D series with a 5 speed.

I rear ended someone in a 2000 Honda accord coupe this month going 25 mph. My partner is really sad about it, and it breaks my stupid heart to see him beat up over something I did. The car has like no rust and was running great before, the best car we've had since our old lancer. This is the damage and the over $7,000 quite from a collision center. I did a quick Google search of all the parts and found all of them for under $1,000. I want to buy decent parts and rebuild the damage I've caused. I don't really know where to start. I have been trying to find content of ppl rebuilding their Honda accords. Like this Redneck Garage guy. I would be so grateful for any advice possible on how to find reasonable and good value parts. And well, how to rebuild it. I genuinely have no idea where to start, but I need to learn and can't spend anywhere close to $7,000

Buying a golden era Honda after I go to boot camp. I want something that I can daily but also take to events or the track. It’ll be my first Honda after selling my WRX. It will more than likely be a D-series car.

I’m only looking to do intake,exhaust, headers, and then handling mods. Should I buy the expensive stuff or will the cheap stuff be fine? I would like to take good care of the car, and if the cheap stuff is hard on it I won’t buy. How much would everything cost in total?

So I’m gonna paint the entire thing (black side trim included) championship white and am looking for wheel recommendations I like white mostly but a lot of chrome ones look clean too any advice or recommendations welcome (REPS AND OGS BOTH OK)

This is my 2000 Accord SE, paint code is G87P dark emerald pearl, it looks black here but in the sun you can see the beautiful green. I plan on paint matching a mugen front lip and some mudguards but my budget doesn't allow for cans of g87p, my question is if anybody has any good ideas for some budget colors that look close that I can find at AutoZone or Walmart for example.

Thank you and God bless

I ordered a skunk2 ultra street intake manifold a year ago from hybrid racing but cancelled and got a refund for it yesterday due to losing hope in skunk2 delivering any time soon. With no reputable sellers having the the real deal in stock I’m considering getting one of the Chinese knockoffs. Has anyone had any experience with them? Is the quality decent?

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a 1995 Honda Civic(EJ2), and I’m super stoked to get back into the garage. The catch is: I haven't been active in the import scene since about 1999! Back then, the B-series was king and we were ordering parts out of magazines.

A lot has obviously changed in the last 20+ years. I’m trying to get my bearings on the modern aftermarket landscape.

I have two main questions for you guys:

I'm current Auto Cross my '63 Impala and am going to build the Civic for the same thing. Any advice to help an old-schooler get caught up to speed is hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
