ali_legend Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Hello all. Been off here for a while now so thought its about time I came back to show what i moved onto from the starlet and to chuck up a build thread. I have a 2005 NHB Civic ep4. Had the car for about 3 months and its done be very well so far as i brought it for the economy (53mpg averagely) . Anyway enough talk here's some pictures 1st off all to let you guys know an ep4 is a diesel When i first got her, I put the wind deflectors on though And then it snowedInterior Snap. Fitted my vibe cbr12 sub and kenwood KDC5051u headunit Next on the list were 6000k HID's from Hedley StandardHid'sNext a little edit on snapspeed on iphone and the goodbye kiss when the starlet went Next on the list was lowering the beast (Springs are prosport 40mm)BeforeDuringAfterCouldn't manage to lower the back as the lower strut bolt was begin a cu*t to get off so Drongo gave up Right next i decided to get a debadged front grill, excuse the white marks under the headlight, i did a restoration to the lights to get rid off cloudyness and didnt clean up loMight be able to spot the aeroblade wipers in this pik tooThis morning i decided to carbon wrap my interior door handlesBeforeAfterWell thats all for now. Any comments and ideas are welcome. Edited April 4, 2012 by ali_legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 looks cool bro are you going to make it look like a type r rep? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I do like this shape of civic, was so close to buying an ep2 a few months ago. What are your next plans? Remap. Sure theres more power hiding in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) looks cool bro are you going to make it look like a type r rep?Well plans are type r backbox to go on, Type r rear bumper, Type r spoiler. Lol might change rims too as ive found out the ones on there are same as type r but 16" and type r's are 5 stud and ep4's are 4 stud, also they are very very very rare and worth about £350/£400 so after some rota grid drifts ;) Decent progress mate. My mates sister has a blue one. Never any hassle with it and alwasy says the mpg is good There coming into a decent price range aswell these days .Yh man nice cars. Gives me very good economy as i commute like 80 miles a day. lol And not too expensive either for a 2005 ;)I do like this shape of civic, was so close to buying an ep2 a few months ago. What are your next plans? Remap. Sure theres more power hiding in there.Same plans as what i said to ishaq matey, Remap takes it from 105bhp to 130bhp and 162lbs torque to 220lbs of torque so very good gains just have to pay £300 for a good map lol Edited February 20, 2012 by ali_legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Louis Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is that carbon dipped im guessing? looks good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yh man carbon dipped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louis Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 How much did that set you back? bought carbon wrap for the interior of my glanza but there's no easy things to do, think dipping would be the way forward! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 As said on FB it looks really nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 £80 mate for both. The dial surround needed dipping twice because of its shape Thanks jadders ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Right guys not a massive update but as a few of you know someone fucked y rear bumper up and did it blue! My brother decided he would spray it black for me while I was In notts for the week. So I know have a BLaCK CTR rear bumper also decided to wash the car, 2nd time since ive had it Black bumper ;) Loving how low it is on the front Lemme know what you guys think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Is this the 1.7 mate? Get a decat and remove the DPF if it's got one, then get it mapped. Should go pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drongo boi Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 looks good pa liking the carbon interior bits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yh mate 1.7cdti. What's a DPF mate? And I can't find a decat for it. Custom is the only way I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Diesel particulate filter. And a turbo back exhaust with decat would be sweet, our Leon whooshes on idle and chatters on lift off (Goes a lot better than out old Leon without the custom exhaust). Bumper looks sweet and it's settled nicely too! I'd be tempted to say even keep these wheels but in a darker anthracite! And save for Grid Drifts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Now all you need is the ep3 spoiler or rep one so no work required and the bodywork will look mint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Yh brought a type r spoiler and ep2 backbox to go straight on so soon will look even better where is the DPG and what does it do? Edited March 3, 2012 by ali_legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) DPF is in the exhaust just like a cat, but I'm not sure if this will have one or not. Basically you more or less want a straight through exhaust except for the back box.On the intake side, standard air boxes and panel filters are usually fine until you start going into big power.What's the intercooler like? (I assume it has one).I think these have a GT1749V which should be good for 150bhp? Edited March 3, 2012 by ste91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yh the turbo is a Garret GT1749V and good for 200bhp. Not a clue on the Intercooler tbh mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
