2000 Honda Civic EJ9

Updated: 11 Nov 2017

This is my ‘winter daily’, a Honda Civic Ej9! D14 engine, dethrottled from 75 to 90hp. It has 171 000km on the clock and runs perfectly. Checked it this week for rust, under the car only the exhaust rusts (exhaust leak) and it has a bit of rust all around but nothing serious.

1 day after I bought it, I started stripping it. The rear is completely empty, but I have to put the backseats back in since most of my friends don’t have a car or driving license yet -.-
Then I bought a Bee R rev limiter (Type H) and installed it. There is no guide on how to install it, but the wiring is the same as in the B16B (Ek9). My ECU and Bee R are currently lying in the footwell, as seen in the picture.

Bought some new wheels too, the current ones (winter and summer) are on ugly steelies with hub caps. You can see my new wheels on the picture, these are Autec Wizard with 195/45 ZR 16 tyres.

Plans:
The Civic was intended as winter daily, but maaaybe I’m going to build my way..
-decat coming soon
-need some new exhaust parts, since it’s leaking (only aftermarket muffler, rest stock)
-suspension (maybe AP coilovers, heard they use KW parts)
-fitment, bit of camber
-new wheels (yep, need some deep dish wheels for summer)
-racing seats, deep dish steering wheel
-roll cage
-clean bumpers
-usdm front light kit, jdm rear light kit
-stripping it completely
-painting it black (not sure tho, all black would be sick but the supersonic blue is pretty cool too)
-Spoon spoiler

Before you start screaming ‘uhh don’t stance it uhhh’: issa 90hp car with a trash engine. If I have enough money I’m going to engine swap (k20 turbo?!) it and make a race setup. But for now I can’t win races, so I will lower it and show up at some meets lol

Fun to drive tho, for now I don’t need more power. It’s cheap in insurance and has low fuel consumption. Perfect winter daily lol

Any name suggestions?

Call it “Slushy”. Or, for the meme, “Bluey McBlueintheface”.

Haha, or Smurfy

Damn boi, Slushy is perfect 😂 what a great name

Eyyy looks sick, we need to race my Tigra, your Civic and Artur ‘The Haferkeks’ Kempf ‘s Miata on the Ring one day <3

Oh hell yes! Next year? 🤔

Da haben sie einen nettes KFz gekauft!

Danke danke 😁 jetzt musst du dir einen Golf Mk2 kaufen und dann können wir ein kleines Rennen machen 😎

Why not b16/18 , k24?

Not sure about the engine yet, was the first engine that came to mind.

Violet. My dad’s Civic is named “Rumblin’ Rose,” or “Rose” for short. Reason being of she’s red, of course. So I think Violet would be perfect.

Another great name 🤔

Geil! :3
Diese Farbe vom EG wuerde super auf dem EJ aussehen :3
Beim swap wuerde ich eher einen B Motor nehmen (B16,B18,B20), das wuerde den Umbau bei weitem erleichtern! So weit ich weiss muss man bei einem K swap sehr viel veraendern.
Ich muss noch ein Jahr warten bis ich mir was zulegen kann :/ Fuehrerschein ist erst ab 18 in Polen

Danke :D ja irgendwie hat die farbe was..
Also der K20 war auch nur mein erster Gedanke, hauptsache was mit ordentlich Power. B16 wäre wirklich nicht verkehrt, fährt ja auch der ek4 🤔
Ja same hier, aber konnte schon als ‘begleitetes fahren’ mit meinen Eltern mit 17 rum fahren..

Amazing!😍

Thanks!!

The Blue Bomb

Haha great name 😂

I have a recommendation for the exhaust. Full Yonaka catback. Quiet but not too quiet. Really lets you hear the engine, not the exhaust. And not too expensive
