my ek build

[lookin4civic]

I bought this car so that i could build from the ground up.I currently have a jdm b16a with an lsd tranny to go into it.Currently i am still looking for and obd 2 to obd1 wiring harness conversion if anyone has one. I have a buddy that has a color matched bumper and body trims to replace the black ones. Also installing a 2.5 " exhaust brand unkown to me at this moment(also my buddies just have to ask) and of course cai. Tint is also in the works as well as a skunk 2 short shifter and knob and a 12k hid kit(all ready installed).I have a set of 17 inch rims but i think they are too big and am gonna finish cleaning them up and sell/trade them for 15or 16's.This stuff i want to have done by the june meet in red deer. Next winter will come the brake swap who knows what else. Lots of time between now and then and probably change my mind a hundred time before then.

YOu should buy my rota track r's, they'll look like a million bucks on that car they're 16s

[lookin4civic]

i added photos of the hid kit....soo bright hard to see the car

[streethondas]

Quick do a retrofit for the hid before scat19 finds out your running them in halogen housing

[Mr_ET]

yes he will kill you unless you do a retro and tin your windshield to get his approval.

On a serious note that is a lot of glare... but I can see where you're coming from since the stock light output isn't great on our cars.

[lookin4civic]

yea and 90%of the driving i do in my car is at night and with the animals in my area it makes it way easier to see them thats for sure...as for a retro fit...i have higher priorities for the car right now but it is in the plans maybe...if i can find something i like. And there is no way i am tinting my windshield lol!!!! I like to be able to see and dont need a cop problem....probably not gonna tint the door windows for the same reason... as much as i want too!

Should be a good build, I also got a 99 Honda civic Si but black with a JDM B16A in it that im building too look forward to seeing some updates

major fail on that one

My mistake, carry on

Again another jerk off spouting at the mouth without knowing what he is talking about. If we were talking about an ef or eg you would be right however on the ej and ek (correct me if i am wrong) they have a deflector built into the housing to distribute the light whether its stock lighting or a hid kit. I have absolutely no problems seeing with this kit.

I have the same type of kit in my car ( 99 EJ ) and I would never go back to a regular or xenon bulb again, I did notice in my ( 95 EJ ) with stock housings the throw of the light from the hid's was crap but after swapping to a clear non ribbed lense with a deflector the throw was improved a 1000 times . I would have gone to a projector style but I don't care for the look of them , to me they are kind of ricer , just my thoughts .

the June meet is coming fast but I cannot wait to see it !

Thanks Badluck for the itr manifold....

HID lights in EJ/EK actually create a lot more visiblity, but you do piss off everyone who glances at the front of your car. Unless you do a retrofit.
My suggestion do it once, do it right - retrofit.

You bought a P73 ITR intake manifold or exhaust manifold?

If it's the intake, you will loose hp on a B16 engine
