Honda Civic EK4
Discussion
Bit of a random one for me but had to do it. Had an EK4 back when I was 19, and loved every second of it, sold it on like an idiot and always regretted it. Since then I've had a fair few of the "better" ones, FD2 Type R (JDM import), DC2, DC5, EK9, Civic Jordan, all genuinely great cars, faster, rarer on paper, whatever you want to call it. But never quite scratched the same itch as the EK4 did, why I don t know maybe it s nostalgia although I had a civic ek9 at the same time as a civic ek4 sir, and I sold the ek9 maybe I m just backwards.
Anyway, long story short, finally caved and picked another one up. Proper mad how these have gone up was paying about £1,500 to 2K back in the day, paid £7k for this one. There's only around 30 left on UK roads apparently, which explains a lot.
Going to use this as a bit of a build thread enjoyed doing my e39 one last time so as I go through it, inspection, sorting a few bits, prepping for paint eventually, parts are arriving by the day just want to do this one justice this time round.
Will stick some pics up as I go. Here's where it's starting from/the standard petrol station shot on the way home:
Also documenting the build on my YouTube channel if anyone s interested in watching and critique is more than welcome, https://youtube.com/@itsmotodan.
Day by day I m having a dilemma, keep the mid spoiler don t keep the mid spoiler I think it s got to go and a different top spoiler as a replacement, also smooth the aerial or not, what interior, what little mods etc every day I have a new idea.
But yeah there it is same owner for the past 17 years, 138k miles, pretty much bog standard apart from some BC racing coilovers and and backbox.
Little sneak peek of what’s been going on I’ll do a full post this week I’m just about to go to bed, I think it’s safe to say I got carried away.
