Traded my paint guns for this today. Needs a clutch but my friend said I could use his shop to do it. Should be a great daily beater. |

| Nice! Looks pretty clean, too. |

| What's the mileage on that engine? What was it used for before you had it? |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 18 2014, 02:24 PM | ||
honestly dont know the mileage, didn't look at it too hard  Heater works fine and thats all I really care about. Ill remove the valve cover to inspect the timing belt when I get wrenching on it hopefully this weekend. |

| B18 + ITBs, stat! EG6s have too much potential to be wasted on daily driving. Strip it out and get some stiff coilovers and an LSD. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 18 2014, 04:41 PM | ||
these cars dont last in Canada. the quarters are rotten on here. and probably the rockers . |
| Posted by: Banken Aug 18 2014, 07:28 PM |
| Strip, cut, weld. (And seam weld the chassis while you're at it). Its gotten to the point where clean EG6s are hard to find in Japan. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 19 2014, 05:37 AM | ||
Give me the cash and ill do it. This thing cost me roughly $300 and I want it on the road for less than $1000. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 Aug 19 2014, 11:27 AM |
| Nice find! I rarely see these guys on the road around, but then again it might be the area that I live in. Are you planning on doing anything huge to it sometime down the line? |
| Posted by: Seri Aug 19 2014, 12:01 PM |
| I see them all the time, but they're all ruined. By kids. EK9s around here are pretty clean, though. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 19 2014, 03:52 PM | ||
If I win the lottery then yes, paint it yellow and swap in a H22. But for now its going to stay as stock and reliable as possible, it means I can spend more time on the wagon and not worry about how I am going to get to work. |
| Posted by: Banken Aug 20 2014, 10:52 PM | ||
All you need is a couple hundred bucks in tools and a bunch of time. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 21 2014, 05:50 AM | ||
ill need heated garage space, welder, new sheet metal and the know how to build new quarters and rockers. I have tools but no space or disposable income for such a project. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 22 2014, 11:33 AM |
| So something might happen to this car. Landlord is leaving on vacation for 8 months and is trying to sell her car so I could potentialy have the garage.. If that happens ill be putting some work into this thing. Thinking fixing the rust, pulling the d16 to replace all seals/gaskets. Vinyl wrap yellow like the Spoon EG6? |
| Posted by: DeeezNuuuts83 Aug 22 2014, 07:10 PM | ||
But then you'll also want to swap out the front axles too. I've always wanted a Honda project car... an EG6/EK9 with a B16/B18 swap. |
| Posted by: Banken Aug 23 2014, 12:17 AM |
| I would suggest painting it for real. And an H22 would be overkill... an 1.8 would be enough if you get the weight down. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Aug 23 2014, 06:37 AM | ||
I've done too much painting over the past couple years, want to get some vinyl wrapping experience under my belt. H22's can be had for much cheaper then b18 swaps here in Canada. Still working out the details for now. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Sep 1 2014, 08:02 AM |
| Decided that I want to buy a sled this year instead, now I need to decide if I sell this outright or replace the clutch first so its driveable. |
| Posted by: Banken Sep 1 2014, 04:55 PM |
| Assuming you use a stock clutch (maybe just a plate and bearing) and can do it yourself, you're probably better off doing it. Being drivable makes a difference between a $500 car and a $1000 car. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Oct 29 2014, 05:29 AM |
| Back from the dead. Friend of mine expressed interest in building a track beater. Showed him this and he offered his garage to work on it. |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 4 2014, 01:52 PM |
| Let's see what we have here... -no dented, rusted and mismatched body panels -no speed holes drilled into the rear bumper -no Chinese BBS knockoff wheels -stock ride height -factory style muffler -no purple tint -no "Altezza" tails Wow, sir, I think you have found a winner! $500 is an unbelievable price for an EG6 that clean, running or not. Score! [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Nov 5 2014, 06:40 AM |
| Thanks. There is some pretty bad quarter rust on it. Planning to buy some ebay repair panels and bond them on. Going to see if I can do everything without welding to give hope to everyone on a tight budget. |
| Posted by: Spaz Nov 5 2014, 09:24 AM | ||
I see how it is. |
| Posted by: Banken Nov 5 2014, 04:13 PM | ||
Any repair you do cheap you do twice. Weld that bitch. |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 8 2014, 11:38 PM | ||
Oh, does Minnesota have the same problem with hood-rich wannabe street racers ruining otherwise nice Hondas? |

| You're fine Spaz. You don't have a Honda being dragged from its leash by a bone stock D15 pretending to be race car. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
| Posted by: Spaz Nov 11 2014, 09:21 AM | ||
Doesn't change the fact that it's still purple.  But yeah, we do have issues with people ruining decent Hondas. Everywhere does because the cars are cheap and so are knock-off parts. |

| She runs! Need to borrow a timing light from work. Definetly needs new rotors, pads still look fine. Tried to unsieze the ebrake cables, soaked them with PB plaster and will try again next time, over $200 for both cables so hopefully I can salvage them. Button up some vacuum lines, sand the bondo and paint, new windshield and she should be ready for inspection. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Oct 20 2015, 06:46 AM |
| Needs 2 rear calipers as they are completely seized. Saturday it's being towed to a friends garage where it will sleep all winter and I will be stock piling cash until the spring. |
| Posted by: Spaz Oct 20 2015, 10:35 AM |
| Ugh, it's totally that time of year... The weird thing is, I've been ready for it for a few weeks now. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Oct 20 2015, 03:13 PM | ||
I wasn't planning on quitting now but I have to save up and spend some money on the wagon before the road trip next year. Its sooooo close to being done though, I just dont have the $200 to spend on calipers right now. and well I'm really considering priming and painting the whole thing, Ive always wanted a nice civic and I think this is the best chance I'll have unless I win the lottery or marry a rich cougar.

Yay!  Looks like Spring came a little early this year. Hopefully that will be the end of your brake issues. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Dec 14 2015, 08:08 PM | ||
Not the end but at least the most exspensive part is out of the way. |
| Posted by: Spaz Dec 15 2015, 09:50 AM |
| Threaded calipers are the devil. |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Dec 15 2015, 10:06 AM |
| The disc brake cube tool makes it a whole lot easier. Once you find a side that fits the best, it takes seconds to push in the piston with surprisingly little effort. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Dec 15 2015, 01:02 PM | ||
I have that tool and they were completely seized. Even with the calipers off the brackets, 2 feet on the brake pedal the cylinders wouldn't budge. |
| Posted by: Spaz Dec 15 2015, 01:19 PM | ||
This is why they suck. They seize way easier than standard piston brakes. Everything is easier with the right tool. Can't tell you guys how many times when I worked parts that people would bring in threaded calipers they thought were seized that I just grabbed the rental tool and twisted them back in and handed them back. |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Dec 15 2015, 01:41 PM |
| What would cause them to seize? Water in the brake lines? Ruptured boot? |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Jan 10 2016, 12:50 PM |
| Ordered all 4 rotors, fronts were $12 rear were $11 |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Jan 17 2016, 09:22 AM |
Rear brakes are in, getting the e-brake cable off the old calipers is a pain. Bled them until new fluid came out.

Got the fenders and bumpers at work to repair and prep them, car will follow suite when the weather is nicer. Ran it up to temp, runs pretty good, idle is a little funky but we still haven't tackled the timing yet. I already chose the color I want for it, $1000 for a gallon of clear and paint  |

| You do body and paint work on this and you're going to have to change the thread title. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Apr 9 2016, 08:25 PM | ||
Yes it's turning into a full resto  Its just once I fix something I'm like well might as well do this while im there, then this and that and well fuck it now I'm doing the whole thing! Might not finish this season but I want it to look nice and be able to tour a few race tracks in Canada. Can get KYB AGX for a good price through my shop, also Eibach and H&R, ughhhh this cheap project is turning really exspensive! |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Apr 11 2016, 11:50 AM |
| Things are looking good. Worked on it a bit yesterday and located a coolant leak. I think it's the lines that are supposed to go into the throttle body or idle control valve, also maybe found the root of the idle problem. I never adjusted the throttle cable after we installed the new engine and got it running. I'll be recording the painting process as well with my go pro if anyone would like to see something specific. |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Apr 17 2016, 09:29 AM |
| So the IACV had a block off plate on it while it was in the race car, removed it and now the car runs fine! Got started on the body yesterday, got the bumpers and fenders primed and started sanding down the quarters, they will need some more work to reshape them, also the doors are pretty bad http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160416_130930_zpsegz0xxmy.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 5312 x 2988. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160416_130930_zpsegz0xxmy.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. |

| All the big stuff is put together, had to order some trim clips off of ebay from china so I wont be expecting those for a while. Kinda low on cash for the moment (DAMN YOU BEER) so I gotta save up for a new windshield and a few other small things and she will be ready for the road! http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160528_132541_zpseen3gqgj.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: unknown. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160528_132541_zpseen3gqgj.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. |

| Nice! Always feels good when you get past all the big stuff and just have the little bits left. |

| Well she's home! Drove it yesterday, clutch and brakes still feel spongy even though they have brand new fluid, I'll bleed them again and go from there. Gotta fix that muffler too, its way too loud. Mounted the oil catch can as well. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160607_115608_zpsugh0w5hi.jpg.html http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160607_115754_zpsyvcoww4x.jpg.html http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160607_122554_zpswbqbcswr.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 5312 x 2988. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160607_122554_zpswbqbcswr.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160607_163017_zpsgowaxk6j.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 5312 x 2988. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160607_163017_zpsgowaxk6j.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160607_163030_zpsiaj4ptfh.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 5312 x 2988. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160607_163030_zpsiaj4ptfh.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194008_zpsyliqtkq1.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 2988 x 5312. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194008_zpsyliqtkq1.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194019_zpsxicz0wpg.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 2988 x 5312. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194019_zpsxicz0wpg.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. http://s1122.photobucket.com/user/lonely_driver1/media/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194209_zpstmf2ukpo.jpg.html Image size reduced, original size: 5312 x 2988. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l524/lonely_driver1/Teh%20EG6/20160609_194209_zpstmf2ukpo.jpg~original to view the image in its original dimension. |

| Nothing too much to report. I'll have the spoon reps mounted this week. The 14" enkeis will be used for winter duty and rally cross this Sunday |

| Took the Civic to rallycross last Sunday and had a blast. Couldnt believe how much grip this car has on the dirt and how easy it was to rotate with left foot braking. Since the course was pretty tight I just kept in in 1st gear and drove with 2 feet, now I really want a car with a DSG transmission. Was having overheating issues but have since fixed it, the ECT sensor was loose and not keeping pressure in the cooling system. Bought some Hercules or something rather winter tires for the 14"s Enkeis and raced on those.

| Awesome! How'd you do in class? The car looked pretty well planted and controllable, and your inputs looked fairly smooth for how slow of a rack the car has. Nice driving! |
| Posted by: Lonely_Driver Sep 12 2016, 01:20 PM | ||
Sorry for the late reply didn't see your post! As for my times I probably would have won my class if I was able to complete all my runs. Took her out to AutoX last night. Half way through the first run the motor blew, sounds like a rod bearing. Very disappointing was not expecting the engine to fail after only 2 events. Well now we have all winter to save up and wrench. We have decided to go for a B18b from a base integra. They are cheap and available. One of the things we hated on the d16 was the stock mounts and we didn't want to spend the money on them because they would not work on a b series motor when we upgraded. Since we are doing a swap we don't care about classing anymore. Rear of the car will be gutted. Going to look for some proper race buckets and harnesses. I installed that Momo seat last week but it was still too tall for my friend to drive. So we're going to remove the headliner and sunroof. Replace it with a piece of lexan or whatever is needed for safety. All in all this little Honda is costing much more then we anticipated but the fun times spent on the track and laughing between friends makes it all worth it. |

| Sucks about the motor but sounds like you've got the right attitude about it. It's the journey and the people you take it with that matter, not so much how much it costs. Hope the swap and the rest of the prep goes well. |
