Sp33 - Looks great man! How size amp are you running with it, and how much did it cost ya? Looks like a pretty good install, but shouldn't the sub be pointed the other way? :confused:

Try turning the box around and it should deepen the bass and make it louder. 👍
 
I only have the 2 pics that the lady sent me before I bought it. Its a 97 Base with 55k miles on it :)


Its stock and staying that way.

I'm not a first time Honda owner either. Heres a pic of my 95 Si before some lady ran into it


Edit: I kinda feel like an idiot but I cant figure out how to make the link in my sig. (bows head in shame)
 
Some guy came up to me in a gas station and asked me if I was selling my car... He looked really interested looking at the car like it was a nice figured girl or something... Man that was something new for me... I've been eyeing TLs and G35s a rare DB7, and a Lotus Elise like that... never have I expected my Integra LS with hub-caps to get that kinda look... :)

I guess I should appreciate my ride a little more... I would like a nice paint job (same color) and some rims though... The reflections off the curvy hood is pretty even with faded paint I admit... 👍

Hows that V-tec engine for this model btw... mine is obviously not one of em according to the manual... (Don't know much about the 'insides' of the car... I vaguely remember anything... nobody is a car guy around me sadly... any onlines sites or books I can learn these stuff?)
 
I think the GS-R has around 180hp and I'm almost positive that the Type-R has 195. And I'm also pretty sure that they both have leather seats. Not bad.

Edit: Can someone tell me what the difference is between an EG and EK? I know its a civic but I have no idea of whats the difference. I'm mainly a Prelude/S2000 guy
 
the only difference really is the body style/chassis.
This is an EK

ohhhhhhhh, a turbo'd civic, ahh imagine the power to weight ratio.


Boz mon: to put the link in your sig go to my post at the top of page 41, then hit the reply button, then all of the VB coding should be there and just copy it into your sig ;)
 
well yeah the hatch is different. The front end is different. The rear is different. Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the EKs came with ABS. And egs didnt.

Also there is a weight difference between both cars.
1993 Honda Civic DX HB MT 2178
1993 Honda Civic DX HB AT 2275
1993 Honda Civic Si HB MT 2326
1993 Honda Civic VX HB MT 2094

1998 Honda Civic CX HB MT 2295
1998 Honda Civic CX HB AT 2357
1998 Honda Civic DX HB MT 2339
1998 Honda Civic DX HB AT 2392
http://www.1320drag.com/online/showthread.php?t=2325 < Go there to see how much your car weighs 👍

The other difference is the engines that came in them
I think most egs came with the 103hp d16 while the hb vx came with the 92hp d15.

I'm not sure about the engines that came in the eks tho.
 
That d15 is a good little engine. My dad has it in his 89 CRX with 270k miles on it. And he still gets 35mpg.

Edit: haha I got it!
 
yeah I gotta say the d15 motor can take a beating and a half. My brother tried to blow his engine so he would be forced to buy a new one but the motor wouldnt blow!?!?!? lol:crazy:
 
ive got a D15b. its pretty mad, spins well. I prefer'ed the EG over the EK, something about the styling and the huge headlights that the Ek's had. The underpinnings of the EG's where EF componants too, so alot of the parts are interchangeable, and i reckon the EF chassis a pretty mad one :P

Gave me a laugh. :)
 
oh my gawd... ... ... That thing is hideous lol.

@srv2low4me: I put it the other way and i lose 3/4 of muh boot :/ that way fits uber better. I did wonder why people's put it the other way tho.. any reason why it makes it base-ier?

The peoples hooked all the wiring up for me and i did the braces and whatever for the sub box so it didnt slide around.
 
EG and EK are chassis/model codes I believe. If you look at the VIN there should be a JDM (if your car was built in Japan) and a chassis code for your car, which I believe is where you'll find that letter combination. Correct me if i'm wrong though, but thats my understanding.

@Sp33 - Basically it uses your trunk as a bass reflex (think of a bass reflex sub box) which bounces the bass off the back of your trunk and into the car. With your sub turned the way it is, its trying to push the air in your car instead of your trunk, meaning you hear less bass. Also, if your sub was turned around, and you had your back seat down, the room around the sub box would act as a port (like the port on a bass reflux sub box) making it sound even louder. You might lose 3/4 of your boot (I think you mean trunk :lol: ) but you gain so much more sound, plus theres also the chance of your sub hitting off your back seat, which could ruin the cone. :ouch:

Good idea with bracket to hold it in place. I use to have my two 12's just sitting in the back till I found it almost at the front of my trunk after a night of cruising, so I basically did the same thing as you. Then I built my amp rack, and now I have my 2 amps and cap holding the box in place. :sly:

EDIT: Woah, heres something that made my jaw drop...

1993 Honda Prelude VTEC MT 2932!

I knew my style of Prelude was the heavest version, but thats insane! :scared:
 
Ah i see. Theres no chance itll hit the seat, i made sure of that. I think im going to keep it this way tho :/. I also realised if i have it the other way its more likely that anything in muh boot is going to hit against the speaker especially if its careless thrown in ( not by me ofcourse, but non-honda lovers.... well you never know ). Plus i dont like the sound it makes when it vibrates the ass outa muh 'trunk' ( :P ) lid. Kinda ruins the whole base-ing experience.

2932!! wow thats quite the heavy lol. From memory mines around 2150pounds. Or just under a tonne.

Ive been picturing ;);)

A new Ef sedan squad XD
 
wow they destroyed the poor little crx:guilty:
~Sp33~: Is that your EF? Looks clean. And is the lisecnse plate falling off?
The link you put to honda-tech has some really nice EFs these ones were my favourite from the first ones on the page.

Sp33 - If you want to get rid of your boots crazy metal slamming vibration sound, but don't want to pay for dyno-matting (sound deadening), simply take clear caulking and run a bead of it between the boot support and the boot lid. Use a rag to wipe off any excess so it stays clean looking, and it'll sound 100% better. It will also slightly deepen your bass since most of it won't be lost in the vibrating trunk.

I still love those rims you created, and i'm glad to see your still keeping your car washed.

DDMv2 - That first Civic made my jaw drop. If he were top paint that intercooler black, it would be the craziest, most under rated sleeper i've ever seen. :drool:

Dang I didnt even notice the intercooler when I first saw the pic.

On another note, my Prelude is amazing.👍
 
Boz Mon - The H22 is a sweet engine, and the Gen 5 Prelude is an amazing machine. Glad to see you enjoy being part of the Prelude family again man. 👍

The whole time I was driving the Lexus I would always remember getting home in my Si and wanting to go drive it more. Now that feeling is back with the 5th gen 👍
 
You guys know that the new accord 'seppo' has a 3.0L v6 with 255HP!! does the quarter in 15secs flat @_@ Too bad its so ugly. I wish the accord Euro got that engine. Its the much better handling and looking model.
 
hey do you guys think it would be a good decision to get an LS motor (140hp) and later do the LS/Vtec frankensteiner???
This would be done on the EG VX 2094lbs.
the reason I ask is because I want to know if it would be faster then a B16a all motor and with basic bolt ons. The Vtec head would ethier be a B18C5(type R) or B18C(GSR).
 
Sp33 - I've never even heard of an Accord Seppo, but it wouldn't surprise me. The V6 Accord here in North America comes with a 244hp V6, which is only 10hp off. What is a Seppo anyways? Wheres it sold? :confused:

DDMv2 - Cost wise, it'd probably be best to go with the B16A since the last time I looked on eBay the B18C VTEC head was going for over $1100. Add that to the price of the block, and your looking at total much higher then the price of a B16A. Plus, there are more add-ons available for the B16A, atleast in North America, so unless you want to pay for the high shipping fee's to buy parts from over sea's, it would be best to stick with the B16A swap. 👍

Atleast in my opinion.

The seppo Accord is our Accord (well, the US Accord at least) rather than the Euro Accord (our TL). The 255 hp is on the Hybrid.

P.S. I dont think our Accord is ugly :guilty:
 
lol :P you americans.

We think all your cars are ugly haha. ( not taking into account mustangs and vipers etc) But what where you thinking with that hideous tauros that we got!? Thanks alot guys! We have to look at that hideous contraption forever!

I just think its ugly in comparison to the Acura TL OR Honda Accord Euro as we get it.
 
whoa I dont check this thread out for a day or so and there is like a whole new page of posts!

Dr. jay: I agree with you that 4th gen's are a lil over weight, apparently at one of my prelude club meets, this guy with a manual third gen dragged of a non VTEC 4th gen ;)

SP33: well done on the sub mate looking good, I could so imagine you cruising around with the beats crankin and your ride looking heaps low cos of all the ladies in the back seat. Ya pimp :lol:

Boz Mon: Im glad that you now have a more enjoyable experience driving then you did when you were tearing it up in your soarer. Also your fuel economy will now be heaps better than your old soarer?

Also yesterday I got bored so I ripped apart my intake system to see how I could improve it with just the stock bits. Basically if I want awesome sound I just take the whole airbox off, that sounded mad! But with my pod filter being at the back of the engine, temperature wise it aint really drawing in cold air. So I put the airbox back on and only put on part of the intake system. Now it is still drawing air from the front headlight (nice and cold ;) ) but there was a lot of extra piping coming off the intake which lead to nowhere. I read on the internet that they are there just to reduce noise.... So off they went and now I still have the nice stock cold air intake but at the same time it has a much deeper sucking sound :sly: which surprised me how much of a change just removing a couple of pipes does :lol:

Pic:

the pipes circled in red are now removed

I will keep you guys posted on a new cold air intake system that I might be making involving some 3 inch PVC pipe....
