Gusdolding Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi, I have recently bought a 1996 N reg MA9 which I really like, has been lightly modded but I'd like it as stock as possible seeing as it is the eco model (already very impressed with the MPG for something so old, has done over 200 miles on 20quid of fuel) It has some kind of cheap aftermarket induction kit installed. Does anyone know where I can source a stock airbox for cheap? Or if anyone knows any other models that use the same airbox, can't find on internet (seems pointless having an induction kit on the economy vtec-e d15z3 engine and the MOT is soon and don't want it to fail on emissions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As far as i remember the later mb2/mb3 civics used the same air boxes, so any d14, d15 or d16 air boxes will fit bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Oh, and get some photos of that MA9 posted!! Love the pre-facelift civic m's, and they're also getting rare nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusdolding Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Heres some photos from when I got it, started to refurb the steel wheels with anti rust paint but in doing so noticed the spare was noticeably smaller (the painted one pictured) Got an airbox for 15 quid in the end including the bottom section. Will post more recent photos when I get the chance as Ive since put some 90s Honda alloys on it which look much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a road car, they just look daft in my opinion. Drilling a hole into the front wing to fit them is just creating another spot for rust to start. I'd remove them anf ill the holes mate, would look much cleaner and tidier. The alloys look much better than them steels! Deffo an improvement.

Those look amazing, and really do suit our civics mate. Nice! Expand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusdolding Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Here it is after a bit of a clean as MOT in a few days (wheels really brightened up!) have noticed this pictured puddle in the spare wheel well, have dried it out but could not see any obvious point of entry, is this a common problem on M’s? Has anyone had to deal with it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
