Mattes' Civic ED2 Sedan

Mattes · Mattes' Civic ED2 Sedan

Here's the story of my lovely ED2 Sedan.
I know the car since the delivery from the dealer.
I was sweet 6 years old.
My grandparents lived only one house away.
My Grandfather was the one who bought the car.
At the first time (2003) I don't wanted the car for me - reasons:
It is old! And it has automatic transmission... f*** gay....
But only one year later I began to love the car.
At the beginning of 2005 a friend gave me my first alloy rims as a gift!!!
6x14inch rims with 185/60R14 tires.
Only 7 months later I bought nice O.Z. Racing F1 rims (7x15inch) with 195/45R15 tires
Many people gave me very nice offers for the rims! Much more money, than I'd payd for these rims!
But I love the rims and they are not to buy Razz

Then I layed the car lower with H&R springs. 35 mm.
WOW! Nice effect!!! Shocked

After that I bought a nice sportmuffler - 2x90 mm Mohr exhaust - WOW COOL SOUND!!!! Cool

A D16A9 4-2-1 header I bought, too.
The middle exhaust is from a Civic EE9 - B16A1.
So, now I have the maximum power on my D14A1 powered ED2 Wink

But the engine is now broken Sad

The oil pump has break down.
Egally!
So now eventually I buy a CRX EE8 with B16A1.
The offer is very nice!!! 1300 Euro! Such cool! Smile

Some specs ('til 01st April 2008):
Honda Civic 1.4
1400 ccm
90 hp
double carburetor
automatic transmission

mods:
-H&R winding suspension
-EE9 middle exhaust (B16A1)

Smile

~Sp33~

Thanks, that silver CRX's engine bay is the cleanest i think i've EVER seen.

Mattes

Aaaaaaaaah! I'm in fear of my ED2!
Yesterday I was at the place, where the Sedan stands.
There's water IN the car at the windows.
Water comes in it at the rear center garnish.

And I can't park the car at another, dry place!
I'm so in fear!
I need HELP!!! Crying or Very sad

Type-S EF

I want that beat real bad!! its on my list of cars to own.

never heard of the garnish leaking. Where is the water colecting?
if its leaking around the trunk, make sure theres no leafs or debris around the seal, if its clean, you probably need a new seal.

Mattes

My rear spoiler today arrived!
The condition is truly first class!
WOW! I only have to paint it in same color, like my Sedan - B47M
Razz

~Sp33~

I'm looking forward to seeing it on there. Cool

BiG ChOr!Zo

best regards

Mattes

oh, I forgot my ED2 Thread Wink

Sorry, I'm late!
The guy who wanted to sell me his crashed CRX EE8 (B16A1, 150 hp, VTEC), has decided to rebuilt that car and don't sell it to me
That is really mad for me!!! Mad

Now I'm serchin' a "new" engine. But that's truelly hard to find such an engine.

Now came the guy to me, and said, that he have a friend with an EE8, too.
The car stand still since some months.
But that's equal for me.
I only need the technical parts to swap them into my ED2.

Smile

So: New hope?
I hope, that the friend of that guy says "YES"
Please, god, help me!

In the first moment, as the guy said to me, that he won't sell the car anymore, I was so frustrated, that I bought OEM fog lights from eBay Japan.

look at the pictures here:

And now I'm still waiting for the arrival of that parts and for the dimmer, that Clipse wanted me to sell Wink

Regards

ME-B-N-ME

nice sedan! oh and I want your bumper Very Happy

Mattes

front or rear?
What do you want with my bumper? Do you have not an own one? Wink

ME-B-N-ME

Rear Im looking for a rear 88-89 bumper with the long license plate bezel Very Happy

Oh and your tail cause there like the JDM ones lol

HRspec

You have a couple nice pics of your car there, well done.

Mattes

I don't sell my tail.
I have a 2nd Sedan. But I'm holding all parts, I can need.
It's everytime possible, that anyone can crash in my tail. So I have some parts Wink

Sorry

ME-B-N-ME

damn lol my search continues

~Sp33~

Have you got those foglights installed yet?

Mattes

no, they are at the tax station (is this the right word? Confused

)
And I have to pay taxes, when I get them.
That's not the problem.
The problem is, that the station opens between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
And I am on my new job between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
That sucks Mad

But, I think, that I'll get them next friday

regards

mitsubishiv5

sexy build. your so lucky you live where the parts are easy to get... help me up with parts. i got cash

Mattes

easy to get???
The most parts, which I have, I bought in the United States of America, my friend!
Some parts from Malaysia or Japan.
So, where can I get easy parts? Wink

~Sp33~

ThurmanMerman

mitsubishiv5

exactly. but i misunderstood then Very Happy

Mattes

were do I connect the blue wire, on?

The black wire from the left lamp is for ground.
The green-red one from the right lamp is with a connector on it.
I hope, that I have the right counterpart on my EUDM ED2 Smile

But: For what is the blue wire from the switch?

And: Are there any relais between switch and lamps, that I don't have?

Here some pics:

Am I JDM?

JDMRican

So Yours Is Automatic Also?

Mattes

'til now, yes!
But if the B16A1 is built in, then no longer any more Wink

For the B16A1 is no atm available...

~Sp33~

I read this thread before Mattes, but i didn't have anything to add sorry. My fog lights came already wired to my car (OEM).

Mattes

Thank you, Clipse! car

Mattes

hmm, the badge is bigger, than the space is on my light up garnish Confused

~Sp33~

That's because the sticker is for a hatch, and the hatch doesn't have the lines running through it, so there's more room.

Looks like it would still fit though?

Mattes

no, it's caused from the light up....
On my old black garnish the "CIVIC" badge is more uppon (is this the right word?)

well, I put it on.
I don't give a fuck about the measures.... Very Happy

~Sp33~

Looks good on there.

jkgonzalez3

does the car have vtec or is it just for show?

Mattes

JDQCIVIC4DR

thats looks nice havent seen vtec in person, only the special edition.

Mattes

So, new ideas in my mind....
I thougt alot of my "dream": B16A1 in a ED2....
But I got a little sceptic about the possibillity and much more: The easier way!
Shall I build a D16A9 from CRX ED9 with 131 hp?
It's much more easier to build in and a D16 has power all over the rpm and not only in VTEC-area...

hmmmm....

What do you think?

~Sp33~

Unless your doing 6k+ rpm, there isn't alot of difference in the power between the d16a9 and the b16.

There's alot more aftermarket support for the b series though.

Mattes

D16 has cheaper parts.... Wink

Mattes

*update*

A friend of mine from the south of germany gave me an offer to buy his D16Z5.
But I said, that I'll come between christmas and new years eve.
He said, that he wanna sell the engine faster.
hmm, so I start to search again.
And I found this ugly CRX only 80 km away from me.
550 € (~810 US$) shall it cost.
Should I buy it?
The seller says, the engine is in a very good condition.
136000 km it has ran

some pictures:

~Sp33~

Not bad, plus, you can part out the shell to recover costs.

I'd probably go for it if i had the room Cool

Mattes

the guy sold the car befor I had the chance to watch it.
fuck off!!!! Now it's sold.... I dunno what to say. I'm speechless
