Stage 1.6 | Part 2

Ok a little update on some more parts that I've been waiting to arrive and I managed to get a bit of work done in preperation for all the new parts that I will be installing in March time. Thankfully I now have a place to work inside without freezing my ass off on an evening. For the installation of the OEM fog lights I've had to cut away the plastic covering the holes required for them to fit, also the bumper was a problem in itself with the screws being completed rounded off, these were ground off and replaced with some stainless items for easy removal of the bumper in future.

Stage 1.6 | Lighting Upgrades

As I mentioned in the last post there is going to be some pretty kool updates coming around February time for my birthday. The following modifications will be taking place for the lighting side of the EG6 and aesthetics too. The focus is mainly for night driving on the country roads, so high power lighting will be used so I can navigate the roads at high speed safely and confidently. I have also purchased brand new headlights as having painted headlights really does effect the amount of light they give off.

Just a sneak of whats to come in 2010 in regards to the lighting on my SiR.

Winter EG6

Winter has been a pretty snowy one in the UK, had some fun times with the Civic trying to get around in deep snow, its not the best car. Even though mine has the TCS option it doesn't help at all, haha. Here's some standard snow shots of my Civic.

MCR VTEC | October Meeting

After signing up to the MCR VTEC forum recently being recommended to it by Gee it was time for their monthly meeting and drive that they organise. Gee had told me one of the previous one's he went to was awesome fun so I thought I'd come along and see what the deal was. Upon arriving there was a few decent Honda's kicking about, mainly EP3's with some light tuning, later in the afternoon a few more locals turned up in EG's and a fair few ATR's too all looking rather nice.

Part of the meet is also an organised drive along some local roads, a sort of follow the leader type deal, rather than just freezing in the car park stood around we actually get to witness and hear the roar of VTEC which I was very impressed with. Gee's White EK9 is rather quick since he installed the B18C engine from a DC2, you can find his blog here Project-Touge

Stage 1.5 | Refresh

Sweet, so I got my Sparco wheels refurbished and powder coated in Bronze finally. I'm very happy with the results, the finish is just awesome, the colour I chose wasn't an external colour so it had to be lacquered over to seal it in and to be honest it has a much deeper finish because of the lacquer now and almost a pearl effect at the same time. I would recommend powder coating to anyone considering a refresh on there old alloy wheels before purchasing new ones.






I also got round to completely removing the air-con system, this took a great deal of weight away from the front end considering the pump is fairly hefty. Not only is the pump heavy but the bracket it sits on with an extra stabilizing pulley and cushion. Total weight saved from this was | 12.3kg's.

Next to go was the rear seats and interior trim, this unsurprisingly lost quite a lot of weight from the EG, I removed the rear seats and brackets, rear lower parcel shelf, spare wheel, jack and tools. This all equated to around | 40kg's. Obviously this made quite a positive difference on the overall performance of the EG and I would recommend it to anyone who is seriously after improving the vehicle's characteristics without having to spend loads of cash on performance parts straight away.
