Hey guys... ive owned the car for almost 2 years and taken as much care of it as i could, regularly washing and cleaning inside, servicing her as much as I could. Not in a rush to get rid of the car.

Its not a car that has been thrashed or excessively used, lets be honest a ek civic with a d16y isnt a car that can be trashed, its mainly used to get to and from work, get groceries or visit my mum.

I live in lidcome and work at rhodes thats a 15 min drive if that. I'm really looking at trading my ek civic for a s13/180sx or something rwd/driftable,(cash your way if need be)or EF civic + cash my way. Not really looking at selling the car to be honest, but if the right price comes then why not.

The car is extremely fuel efficient, unattractive to cops, and pretty good looking and fun to drive in a sence, never has given my grief, the reason for the engine change was because the engine was getting a little tired and old, and a d16 with at the right price came along, i couldnt say no.

However the car does come with a few issues, all body wise, little bit of hail damage, faded paint on the roof, someone hit the rear bar as it was parked infront of my gym a few months back no structural damage just the bar itself, paint is coming off on the roof, front bar and wing needs to be painted as they are aftermarket bits, im being honest with the car so please no bad comments please.

Ill post some day time pics up soon, just wanted to get this online before i change my mind

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
