Headlight Swap

After a little bit of thought I decided I never really liked the Denji Projector headlights to be honest. I set out to find a set of oem Civic headlights, bought some from a member off the CivicLife.net forum only to find them with broken brackets and totally filthy, but nonetheless I cleaned them up and gave them to my friend. He would then take them apart, clean them thoroughly and paint the top and bottom sections of the lights in a HT black paint to give them a more evil look.

Here are the results, the only thing I need to do now is paint the indicators in the same style.






Overall I'm pretty pleased with the result, I totally prefer the oem style headlights, next on the cards is a 50W HID kit for them as the standard bulbs are very poor after downgrading from HID's.

New size number plate

Decided I didn't like the size and shape of the import number plate I had on, I printed one off at work which is a standard Euro size plate and it looks much better, plus it gives better clearance for the radiator too which I prefer.




I also fitted a fire extinguisher too, not really sure why, I think it looks more like a race car having an extinguisher in the boot.

Clean Again

Its been ages since I actually gave my EG6 a bit of TLC. I thought I'd give it a bath and a quick detail polish so it could be proud of the paintwork once again. I wish I had the whole day to spend cleaning it because I know I could but the English weather does not permit a full day of cleaning without it raining halfway through or just after you've finished polishing. I managed to tidy up the engine and engine bay too, the VTEC solenoid has started to leak slightly so I got rid of the seepage and it looks much better now. We also gave Michelle's EJ9 a wash and a polish too so I got a couple of shots of them together for the first time. Be sure to check the progress of the EJ9 at http://project-ej9.blogspot.com/

Apologies for the utter rubbish photographs, my camera's digital view finder has cracked and I am basically pointing and hoping it captures what I wanted. Nikon D90 ftw eventually!

Service No. 2

Its about that time again for the service on the EG6, I've done quite a few miles with it since I got her so now its time to refresh pretty much everything to repay it for its reliability.
