My new Honda Orthia EL2

[iOn]

Heard of these but never really seen actual pics of it. Nice ride I've been looking to get the center console from the Orthia

get the entire dash and firewall, etc. and do a RHD conversion =]

would be interesting to see if its all the same or could be done with minimal effort. well not minimal... but yea.

yea everything in the front bolts up (my firend yrs ago had an em1 with that front end converted for kicks) looked diff alright

easy way for us Aussie's to get a B20B half cut, rock on Kiwi import laws

did anyone else notice the trunk release or maybe hood release IN the door panel? Kinda cool.

looks like its for the hatch. that is interesting. it must be electronic...

or maybe not actually. lol i dunno. just seems weird to have a cable run that way... and you wouldnt really be able to take off that door panel if it was a cable like civic truck releases.

pretty sweet

It's an electronic release switch for the rear window. Civic rear windows open up also right?

The rear door has it's own handle.

The only cable release thing in the car is the fuel lid.

That wagon is a Honda Avancier. More like a gen 6 accord than a civic.

Also considered one of them, but the idea was to get something smaller and lighter than our previous wagon - 5th gen Accord SiR wagon.

and the hood... lol

there's no rear door release inside the car at all?

Convert that thing to manual and put a vtec head on then boost.

 

[dtgrowl]

i thought b20vtec was bad for boost?

Oh yeah forgot about the hood

The rear door has an external latch. No release from inside the car and no key hole on the rear door either. Also you can only lock/unlock it with the central locking.

The only mods this car is getting will be alarm and stereo. MAYBE some Type-R stuff if it's going cheap locally, but i just mean suspension braces or minor cosmetics.

It would also have to be a rare car, which it is not.
