Re: d14a4 idle problem

I replaced the IACV with a new from ebay and it works ok. In the meanwhile I also replaced the dizzy with a new one (not oem).

Re: D14 with D16Z6 gearbox

This is the gearbox I have on for a couple of years now. Quite different to the a8 one. Can't decide which is better.

Re: Civic Ep3 seats to EK

I swapped the ep3 red seats to my ej9. They seat much higher, so you lose the extremely low driving position, but you soon get used to it and i think it gives you more visibility throughout the car. Finally, I can get the back of the seat a lot more horizontally so you don't have the "sleepy&qu...

Re: ek9 suspension

Sadly, I couldn't get my hands on a fresh ek9 suspension so I found a dc2R which was in great condition. However, the rear shocks will not fit due to the different jdm wishbone and shock design. So, I kept the shocks and I used my old bilsteins sports which i had them revalved. The springs' height i...

Re: difference between stock springs

Believe it or not, for a couple of years now, I have on my ej9 the DC2 springs with bilsteins sport shocks which i had revalved. The ride is 1 cm higher comparing to the HnR springs. I was amazed to be honest. The car sits perfectly and the ground clearance is excellent. I have set the bilsteins in ...

Re: Chassis Reinforcement

I have been looking for some fender bars and a rear bar. Still don't want to cost very much. I can see that fender bars can cost from 130 to 160e or a bit more. Still I am not so convinced whether they could give a noticeable difference in handling or feeling. On the other hand the rear bar i think ...

Re: What's up in the work in progress

I have many things sitting around but don't have the time to install them. So I bought 2 d16z6 engines (one running well and the other for parts) from which I only swapped the gearbox. Finally, I convinced my self not to swap and to continue with the d14. So I have in the garage lying around the obd...

Re: d14a4 idle problem

I am still trying to figure out what is wrong. For the last 2 weeks it works ok. The difference is that I am using for this period of time 98ron gas and the weather is not so cold. I should say that I have cleaned the TB and the racv twice. It worked better for some time but the problem wasn't elimi...
