Starlet-Joshy

Josh's Honda Civic Ej9 Build!

Hey guys and gals! Back with another car. In case people don't know I have owned 2 starlets,

and made the mistake of buying a golf at one point also lol! First starlet was blue, second red. Both

got written off and sadly I loved them to bits! But enough about my old cars, onto the civic!

Okay so i literally was lucky to pick this up, I was informed about this early and was able to book

having a look at it. It was up for £400, and for that price it wasn't worth trying to haggle. I bought the

civic on about 125k miles, 12 months Mot!, Electric windows, Electric Sunroof, and completely bog

standard. Ive always wanted a civic since passing my test, so Its great to finally own one. However

my dream still is to own a EK9! So until then im going to have to keep saving.

Over the time of owning it so far, I have fitted coilovers, Steering wheel, wheels, and stickers!

I was also on the UKSO stand at japfest ;)

When i only had time to fit the fronts

Couple of rough bits

Can also vouch at how clean this Glanza is! New owner would not be disappointed!!

Ej9 is the coupe usually a 1.6 sohc but some came with a b16 the sohc ones will do about the same money as an sr

The ej9's are mainly the 1.4 civic hatchback with a D14 engine,

The coupe is ej6 with the d16, or 1.6 sohc

Sold please lock!

Mate I had,

Exact same colour starlet,

Rota GT3's but all black,

And a Hks exhaust the same lmao!

This car is bringing me back memories of mine

Looking good though mate!

Description:

After a long decision, I have finally decided to sell my starlet. After owning this car for over a year now, and not really heading in any direction I am deciding to get rid of it! Some of you may have seen this car when I was on stand at Japfest last year with black wings. Since owner ship I have basically bought and then removed parts due to mind changing from incidences last year. The engine itself is great, I recently did a oil change last week, and since owner ship have probably done it about 4 times. This being just due to looking after the vehicle.

The body is the main downside to this vehicle, eg; The overall paintwork is faded and has a fair few marks in alot of places. There is rust on the o/s door, and a tiny bit on the n/s rear quarter. There is paint removal in certain places around where the drivers window had been smashed, and strong tape had been placed. Exhaust backbox has a hole, so is blowing.The car is also a Cat C, However has been repaired! I have started to rub back the bumper as was going to paint it myself, However haven't had, and wont have the time. The rear bumper would also benefit from a respray. There is also over spray on the n/s door which I will try to remove before sale! So overall the bodywork isnt the best!, But please don't let this put you off! The car is a great little run around and I literally have had no mechanical issues within ownership!

Front headlight O/s is pushed in slightly, however is secure, and beam could do with being adjusted higher!

This is definitely a ideal project/ Track car or even a daily runaround!

Cheers for the input guys some great advice and personal opinions!

My aim is to import one when im older as it will be fresh, Due to the amount of honda's currently being broke for parts, it seems the prices of them will only rise! If i had the cash i would probably have one now!

Engine wise. i'd be happy enough with the stock B16b however, future could plan for a b18c4 if i was desperate power! the 184bhp stock would be ample enough for track and road use for me! and my personal preference is to look after the vehicle and cherish its rare ness as it were, nowadays.

The ek4's don't have much appeal as ill always be wanting a ek9, just like if i was to mod my n/a it will just never be a glanza or the same as owning one. Its just a different feeling saying you own a ek9 and not a ek4 ( in my mind anyway lol)

Maybe even a few track times would be planned, but as i say i got a year and a half and providing the prices don't rocket i should have one then!

Cheers guys!!!!! :thumbsup:

Okay so just a general discussion,

I'm currently 19, and doing my 3rd year of hgv apprenticeship, so anyway I'm looking to save from now until I'm 21 and buy myself a honda civic Ek9.

I'm hoping to then get one freshly imported, and 21's a decent age for insurance!

My discussion is. Has anyone owned one?, driven one? Been in one?

I've been in my mates ej9 civic and a eg, but haven't experienced B series's vtec lol!

My minds decided to get one! But just thought I'd throw up a topic

Cheers, josh.

Okay so aqquired a few little bits now so thought i'd update! These include, stickers, wheels, glanza boot and bonnet spacers!

So the boot was located in surrey which is a few hours from me, luckily a bloke from my work, had to work over there so was able to go grab it for me!!!!! saved me some time this weekend! so beer tokens to him! ;)

Hopefully fit the boot, maybe give it a quick bit of paint unsure, the rear tint on the glass is peeling off slightly so will be removed! So glad it came with spoiler and number plate surround! also lights for reverse and brake light! all for £30 so bargain!!
