Fake R - my first 6th Gen

[sloth_civic]

hello,

well i had a 4th gen civic and decided that i wanted a more modern car and i stumbled across this.

a 1998 "FAKE R" Honda civic, it has civic type R badges but its not.. however, i drove it and fell in love with it!! <3

i like that the previous owner put the effort to put type R badges so i am gonna take em off and put some new ones in the right place and get the red Honda badge for the front and back. ( i don't care what ppl think of that)

i don't know specs as i am not mechanically knowledgeable

i dont have any plans as yet, i have only has it for a day.
there are a few things i need to fix first (stone chips and busted hatch lock)

well here its is my Fake R

sorry bad picture

 

[sloth_civic]

yea lol, i dont see the point in having a strut bar on a car that isnt for racing but i like it so hehe

 

[Red_EG4]

They sure do things differently in Tasmania don't they? haha.
Just an EK1 by the looks of things.

what does that have to do with anything? driving on the other side isnt a performance upgrade, and its not exactly rare

Those fake badges gotta go...

whike EK hatches are very hard to find even here. I know a guy who flew from Chicago to Oregon to buy one and drive back, it was the only one he could find.

Deff paint that grill black again, but nice DD

Ok, lets stop calling it a fake R. It's nothing close to one except the tacky badge and something tells me you are going to leave them permanently.

well i was thinking about it, that's the kind of thing Tasmanians do, but i don't know i might take em off its not on my list of things to consider. i also did say in my first post that i was going to put new ones in the right places, maybe that gave it away that i was going to keep em :S

Bheims says: Wow thats a nice upgrade...def paint that lower insert black but

YES! defiantly, i will do that when i fix the little stone chips... its looks disgusting...

well i might drop, really unsure about it though, i have a steep driveway and i only just clear it now.... but i am moving soon so maybe ill wait till then.
you say a lip? noob alert!! whats a lip?

wow guys wasnt expecting such an amount of replies thx!!

 

[Shiznit]

definetely have to stop calling it a fake R...
taking those silly badges off would be the first thing i would do. next would be a drop

 

[AlexM]

Holy cow that thing is clean
