Good link for DIY Work!

Check out the tech section.

I have that site on my favourites. Some good information in there. I must get around to making that VTEC indicator I promised myself. Oh wait, I dont' have VTEC :( next year, VTEC here I come :cool:

You thinking about changing or Upgrading?

Yep this site is very good for tech info. I also have this site on my favourites...

You guys seem to be one step ahead of me :what:

Depends on what is cheaper/easier. I might just change the car or change the engine. My present car I was doing up for looks but I'm getting bored of that and I want power...power...power :D Gonna think about this over the next few months plus I'll wait to see how the CRV engine works for G. Could be the next big thing.

Nah, don't believe that. I'm still learning new sites everyday that everyone else seems to know about :bloated:

Spot the guinea pig :toothless

I know of someone who's selling a really nice '97 Civic Hatch - you might have seen it - it was the show car for pro-racing at the Motorshow in the RDS. Has a 1.5 Vtec Lump fitted with rear discs!
I'd buy it myself if I didn't need a boot - Damn buggies ;)

You talking about the white one with the carbon bonnet. Sorry not my style :uhoh: It's gonna be a good few months before I can buy anything. I still have to finish paying for my 00 car. I might stick with the saloon as they sold that in VTI and you don't see many of them.

Sorry not my style

Yea it's something you'll either love or hate! - I personally like it but that's me!
If you stick to a saloon, you'll also be able to transfer any mods you've done :cool:

I wouldn't call that engine a lump, implies a lot of power :p That engine is Hondas infamous VTEC-E engine, economy is it's destiny. 115hp but very hard to upgrade performance wise, I know, I had one. Anyone claiming it to be a beast, give 'em a slap from me :finger:

Yea 'lump' was a bad word to describe ;)
Did Honda make 2 versions of the 1.5 Vtec engine?
I had a 1.5 VTi Jap Import Hatch and I put it up on a RR with an induction kit and exhaust fitted, and it was pushing 130bhp!
Don't think I've ever heard of someone calling it a 'beast' but don't worry they'll feel the back of my hand :devil:

Well the 1.5 VTI was an EG Civic, you said this one was a 97 so it's an EK = VTEC-E

Yea I had a EG model alright.
Don't actually know what type engine is in the one for sale as it was originally a 1.4 and he got the 1.5 put in - could very well be the Vtec-E.

I doubt he put the VTEC-E, kinda pointless for all that work. He could've put the EG engine in, bit more work but possible

They also had a 1.5 (or 1.6) vtec-e in the civic concerto, 160 bhp and needed more then 10 sec. to 100 km/h ! This is no joke!
