Another Honda Guy..

Re: Another Honda Guy..

I will sell you some euro tails from the states i rockd them way back in the day before i re did the car. there just sittin in my room they where in my car for 2weeks haha. Sohc model. Im either going to swap it or boost it. Yes all my carbon fiber matches. Seibon and Vis racing. Are great brands to work with

I'm going to have a look at vis's site.That's the best carbon hood that i've seen!The sohc engine is a good engine.Build quality is just as good as the twin cam.The only weak point in comparison is the con rods,so don't enter the red zone or pass 7000rev.I have a few times in the past and is still fine.I found the best engine oil is redline 10w/40.Also Bardahl is good stuff.
I forgot to mention the plugs.I'm using denso's irridium.
If you havn't already done so,try advancing your distributor a couple of deg.The standard is 16 deg. ,but when i checked it out with timing light,it was 14? It now is about 17.Don't go too crazy with this though and use premium quality gas.Unfortunatley,having a single cam doesn't give you much options for an adjustable cam sprocket.With the twin cam you can increase torque and high end power,but with the single you can only shoot for one or the other,mind you a good quality fast road cam would do the business! Don't go for a regrind though! they don't work well with v-tecs.Mugen or Jun's make great stuff,but at a cost$$$$$$.
You'll have no problems in getting hold of an edlbrock rebored air throttle valve.These work well on the D16Z6 engines.They will increase your torque a good bit.I would have done this,but this is not the states!

Let me know how you get on.

Re: Another Honda Guy..

yeah,i think they're called euro.Only trouble is that they are about ten years old now.The plastic is still clear,but the sides are the same as the original stock.being clear,you can see algae etc.I tried cleaning.not the best of results.that's life.Hard to explain.

You get much more options in the states for hondas.I wish it was the same here.

I like the carbon fibre bonnet.did you find it was a perfect match?

Is your model DOHC?

Re: Another Honda Guy..

A lot of nice stuff there!

My civic is a '93.I've owned it scince '94.

The paintwork is original(met.blue)
Wings west body kit all round.
APC (lexus style) tail lights.
Denji front headlamps.
Clear indicators,front and side.
Compomotive wheels,Re-powdercoated.Parada spec 2 tyres.

Whiteline antiroll bar kit,Eibach top antiroll bar

The interior is pretty much original.
I put in a guage pod with 2 led savage guages.A/F meter(as a guide only),and an oil pressure guage.
Momo steering wheel and momo gear knob.
I changed the colour of my instrument bulbs from white to green.I couldn't find replacements,so i used light bulb paint.looks fine.(i had to add a little blue to the green paint,otherwise they bocome yellow).

i tested the car on the flat,on a hot day with myself and another passenger,withn a stopwatch.It managed 0-60mph in around 7 secs with a poor start.Bear in mind that this model is the D16Z6,single cam.This little car is great on corners.there are not many cars can catch me on twisty roads!

Anyway,Keep in touch!

Re: Another Honda Guy..

Where??


Not on my thread..



Its A Del Sol Champ!

Haha, I can't believe I did that. I swear I know the difference...but my fingers must not

Nice Del Sol

They haven't had the Prelude in years, but even so, my 1st thought was "Prelude", and I've been a Honda owner for over 25 years!

Wasn't the Del Sol the model that replaced the Prelude?
