I've seen some of the pictures shadowz posted, and i liked the looks of those cars very very very much!:drool: i was always a fan of H/Bs. but anyways if i were to get an EK, which one would i go about getting. the dx, cx, si?? (im not sure if there is an si version. i don't know much about the model types, someone correct me if im wrong.) but anyways, those JDM civics, how much would it cost to do one up? i could work really hard if the costs are high. but i would love to hvae a "JDM" civic.

there ar no Si hatches
to go all out JDM is going to cost alot! mainly because you'll have to get everything from japan. and prices vary, so it's really hard to say how much it would cost

which model would you prefer to get. the lowest model? or the highest.
edit: cause i can always get a used up civic and get a swap done to it. and work on teh exterior after.

if you want something with AC from the factory u can pick up a DX, i think those came with optional AC(which is nice in the summer) *shrugs* but that's up to you, you can save yourself a tiny bit by getting a CX

it also depends on how detailed you want to go with your JDM EK project. if you just want a front lip, fogs c/f hood and jdm headlights it wont cost you very much, but if you actually want the JDM bumpers, fog lights and interior (including Glass) you will be forking out ALOOOOOOT of cash! so be ready for it!!
i suggest just doing up an ek, swapping motors and keeping the exterior classy and simple. that seems to be the thing that the kids are into these days.
edit: if you want true JDM i would suggest losing A/C and powersteering, you want that car to be as light as possible.

Why do people call clean imports "JDM" this and that? That term is way overused. Everything on those cars is available in North America, maybe not steeringwheels/console and stuff off the shelfs, bit it can be aquired. There is a Mugen distributor in the USA too(kingmotorsports). Amber sidemarkers and black headlight housings(maybe folding mirrors) are about the only jdm things I can see on there, and they could be american made too.

i would like to get the bumpers and such but that can wait because i could keep this car for a very long time.

Actually, 95 % of a jdm honda is not available in north america, by
any chance, have you seen a true JDM civic??? because if you have, you know what im taking about. bumpers, wheels, insturment clusters GLASS, tail lights (in most applications)
headlights ect.... are different.

I have never seen one in real life. Does "JDM" mean aftermarket parts available only in Japan, or parts that come only on cars as OEM parts in Japan only?

yup i agree, it's the little things that set of a JDM from a USDM car. and yes, even the glass is different. and although the some of the stuff 'can be aquired' as you so put it, it's not offered to the NA market, therefore it IS JDM

Traditional JDM stands for Oem parts however there are companys in japan like tein that sell jdm aftermarket parts.
Ekliptix
10-26-2002, 10:21 PM
ok, so why is a company like Tien considered to make JDM products when their stuff is available here?

Ok thanks for the clarification.
If I were going to do an Ek project, I'd get a base model and do a dohc vtec swap(exact engine would depend on preference and budget).

ITR motor
If I were getting a civic hatch my first engine picks would be a b18c5 (if I were to keep it stock), a h22a (stock again... maybe some suspension to compensate for the weight), a b18c1 (turbo, fully built), and my last b16a with a stupidcharger. Of course the turbo method is my favourite of them all :D :D :D

No man, you got it all wrong. You should be putting either a turbocharged Spoon engine with a MoTec exhaust or a SR20 motor!!!

Okay, I have a question.
Is there a way for me to get power door locks and power windows for an EK?
I know they don't come with it, but can i buy stuff to make power door locks? and power windows?
i think the type r has em, correct me if im wrong...the jdm sir ef9 has power windows and that was 11 years ago, so yes it is possible

yea but u'd have to figure out a way to flip the switches and handles around because the EK in japan is RHD so the switch that locks the windows, and opens both windows is on the right side of the car... not sure if it's easy or not

You can but its a long process you dont have to go through, just find a fully loaded DX and youre on your way to your JDM EK
Wtf was I saying.. holy.. haha you want the JDM civic steve? i think you should just buy a rex.. haha

and Van, my mom doesn't want me to get a CRX becase it has no room for anyone.
EDIT: and if anyone here comes by a DX EK for sale fully loaded gimme a holler.

Um, no it doesn't. The only thing the DX has which others don't is power steering, tach, and wheel covers.
Lammer: You could always try to look for someone parting out a 96-2000 Si coupe/EX sedan and buy their doors, and do some wiring.

The coupes/sedans, yes. But we're talking about the "EK" h/b. I nearly bought one, and there weren't any power options.
