Fitted some more trim peices

NOS Civic 1200 RS indicators. Much sleaker.



NOS DELUXE emblem.

Fitted the Compomotives, nice but cant wait to get the coilovers now. That will be next winters project.

COMPOMOTIVE MINI LITES

One hell of a cool civic bro!!
i had one too and its hondamatic too but its a 4 door i wish i had the 2 door one
by the way i wanna ask you something,can i put 2 barrel carburrator on a matic gearbox??because im an amateur on engine stuff like that hehehe

Thanks,

The 2nd gen civic S and the british triumph acclaim (2nd gen civic saloon) had twin carbs. With the manifold this will bolts straight onto any 1200 73-79 civic.

Here's another shot.

Ive since fitted some more new old stock trim etc.

Ariel and bonnet/hood trim peice that goes across the front.



H-O-N-D-A hatch letters and hatch lock.



Out with the old pitted chrome hatch lock and in with the new one.





Wiper arms, wiper caps and polished stainless steel wipers;)

looking forward to seeing this at the shows this summer

Thought i would share some pics of my Deluxe Guages install to my 79' 1200 RHD car.

First job is to recline the driving seat fully back to the lurvin setting



Then remove the steering wheel. Perhaps not a must for everyone but its essential for the more portly gentleman.



With the steering wheel removed and the seat reclined its time to adopt the dying fly postion as you lie on your back with your legs in the air whilst trying to undo the three 10mm nuts that hold the instrument pod on.

I then removed the speedo cable from the transmission and gently pulled the pod out giving access to the electrical conectors and speedo cable. Undo the speedo cable and pull out some more to access the electrical conectors and then pull them



Now its time to make a hole in the dash for the temp/fuel cluster to go.

Beyond the point of no return....



I drilled several holes.



Then i pulled on the edges until the rear panel snapped at its designed weak point. The "wood" effect crap was trimmed with a stanley knife





Test fit of the temp/fuel cluster, looks ok.



Thats all for now folks......

Really nice

Thankyou


I'm using an electric tach and i'm told the conection is there but i haven't found it yet. That said i haven't looked that hard yet. In any case running a wire to the coil isnt going to be that hard. I seem to remember seeing a loose blue wire in the coil area so i'll have to investigate.

I wanted to loose the hondamatic speedo guage face but keep my mileometer so ive had a few sets in bits..........



Very Happy with the results.



The plug for the temp/fuel guage i pulled through using a brazing rod. The power for the instrument lights comes in on this plug so it looks like i have to splice into that for power for the main tach/speedo units lights.

A quick test fit and it looks like it will be nice when its done.

Looking very nice

Today i arrived at ExhaustUK's premisses



They are the official exhaust supplier to Pimp my Ride UK



The guy spent at lot of time asking what sound, silencer and tip i wanted. They were very helpfull. Then it was time to had over the keys.

Up on ramps the car went as they removed the old system and designed and fitted the new.



Some of the work in progress









All mounts were tig welded in situ and the system is all 304 grade stainless.



All done



They tried a straight through silencer but it was too noisey so i went for a quiter one the only problem being it was hard to fit and sits lower then i would have like. Still the system sounds great, does not drone or boom and i now have no clanking and banging from under the car

My names Jay and ive officially been pimped

Got some more done today...........

Back in 73 in the UK poverty spec civic's came with no carpets, instead they came with fitted rubber mats. I managed to track down some NOS ones.



And so i fitted them today, smartens the interior uo a bit...now for the seats

Ive fitted them over the existing carpet

Seat came out and i discovered one of the rear seat mounts was broken, i thought it had started creaking a bit. Lucky i had a spare one



I removed the rear carpet just to have a look









All done. Just need to make a few adjustments and let gravity do the rest

I'm a huge fan of those rubber "carpets" in the first gen Civics. I wish I could find some since my carpet is balding, for lack of a better description.

Looking great cannot wait to see this in a few weeks

I found a new old stock centre console laying around in my garage so tonight i fitted it Nice to find one that's not got any chrome chipped of it.



It still has the green dot sticker on it which i assume is honda quality control?



Perfect Chrome



All fitted.

Awesome build thread!! Just read it start to finish... EN4 carbs are a great upgrade for these, bet it goes well now? Nice to see one tastefully modified and restored.

If you ever come across another set of floor mats, please let me know. I had a mint '74 Sb1 with a EN4 conversion, had the complete black jdm interior (plastics on the door panels even!), 84,000 factory kms, but the car got firebombed by some vandals Looking for mint parts to restore it with.
I've also got a EB3 Civic like yours with a ER City Turbo conversion

Love the ebs mate, good work with this one!!
