Welcome and nice pics. I especially like the one with the see through aspect to it. 8)
i just sold a busted 4 door no real time or ZC in sight blah !
what a fun car to have
nice car 8)
Let me know if your ever in bundaberg again, bring the wagon!! We could have a photoshoot
~Steve.
It was originally japanese, then imported in the very late 80's so the owner told me. Its a 1988 Honda Civic Sedan EF5 RTi Limited. It has a d16a8 engine, im pretty sure its an identical transmission to the wagovan 4wd one.. and im not too sure about differential specs. The VC sits between the front passengers, but i cant tell you much about it.. Heres an underbody shot which may answer your question better
Oh, and the sticker that was slapped on im presuming was due to compliancing laws. (has to be english or legible).
Your projects sound awesome too, i'm working my way through the members ride section, so if its posted there ill come across it eventually lol.
Thanks again,
Steve.
you don't want to see his wagon.... looks OK at the moment, but is rapidly losing bits of sheet metal, and pretty soon will be losing a lot more than that
your VC is positioned the same as for the wagon, so it's probably the same... the aussie delivered wagons were D15B4 SOHC carb motors, but we're mating the stock 'boxes with D16A8 motors - just like yours has standard.
Loving your subtle photoshops too
No other stock D compares to the torque of the d16a8 though, im very happy with the engine
Was just wondering if anyone has a 6speed gearnob? Mines cracked
Let me know if you can part with it
Thanks.
More Rt family, def a rare item to have 8)
I havent taken Frank for a photoshoot for a while because im waiting for the arrival of my Tein SS coilovers to arrive. Since then though ive put on a set of Mugen Mr5's an EF sedan spoiler, and i also have found a few other bits and pieces
Dunno if im happy with the front headrests or not yet, might get them changed slightly. Will have more pics up with the mr5's fitted after i get it lowered
Nice ride and the mugens will look nice when you get them finished.
I am not worthy to be in the presence of such rareness! Just fricken amazing...didn't even know those things existed.
Also nice PS skills.
The seats are reupholstered with leather
Props for keepin it clean, mate!
Best sedan evar! 8)
How do you keep from turbocharging it?
More pics! Do you have the owners manual?
Shane
I dont know how much longer i can resist turbo'ing it. The owners manual is in Japanese lol.
When i purchased the car it needed a new front engine mount and a rear dif mount. Ive replaced both of them and the rear dif still kicks when you dont get the gearchange perfect. Ive checked all the other engine mounts, and as i said i replaced the upper diff mount, any other idea's as to what would make the diff kick like that?
Cheers.
Im actually taking my car to be road worthied today.. If it passes then i can put my teins on FINALLY. They've only been sitting in my room for about 3 months.
Anyway here's some progress.
So anyway, i gathered some parts together from friends with rotting sedans, and local junkyards....
Fenders:
And every other panel off of this car.. Before i stripped it:
And when i was done:
Then it was a matter of stripping the car down... and finally got the new panels on, with some primer too.. Cheetah style +10hp.
I actually really liked my car like that.
Goodbye old panels:
Some freakin huge lizard thing on my door:
And finally paint goes on:
And as it sits right now:
Still haven't cut the clear back yet, that's why the moldings are still off.
It's all progress though!
