NIKH25 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yes I'm going to poly bush everything to start with, then coilovers, big brakes and b18 in there. Going to make it as light as poss without giving up the dash and door cards.Picking up tomorrow from Newcastle.I must be mad but the arches are solid! It's gotta be worth the travel.its a 1.6 esi. From my research I believe its the easiest swap going. Even the mb6 engine loom plugs straight in, I hope. With just a couple of extra wires to run.O thats the end of the m Remember the bits I would like from her don't worry ill let everyone be vultures before she goes. Think I may shed a tear that day!Think it's pretty straight forward mate, Jonnyricer did one last year:http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=7572Send him a PM if you get stuck, I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

Hopefully she gettin fixed up at the dealers expense.anyways I just drove my new esi 200 miles home. She's a beauty 19 years young and drives great. Very nippy little thing.Slight lacquer peel on one wing other than that its clean as a whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It does look very tidy mate. Nice colour too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not my first choice in colour but I'm getting used to it and I think it'll look nice if I have my rotas done in a anthracite or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Looks a clean EG there, I love that shape Civic! You on about the Rota's on the MB? I don't think they'd go on the EG dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 should be mint when done - I still miss my old Lsi eg - even that felt nice and nippy with 90 bhp or so (and light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 EBay bargain! Woop woop! Thinking standard vti wheel may suit it.swap maybe? Rotas need a refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
