From VTI (SI) to a Type-R
- Thread starter Krossfya
- Start date
oem ftw
i wished i lived over seas so i can get all the good stuff 
Na man,, you guys got all the accesories,,,, the cruise controle not available in europe so i need also the wiring harnes,, the si/sir gauge cluster is way better red and white,,, europe VTI is fully amber..
might sell this one afterwards,
the only thing that is good are the side skirts front and rear lip where stock from the dealer. If it was ordered.
You guys can get some great deals,,, on parts and preformance parts, i think they just change the dollar sign to euro over here.
B18ctrb is hooking me up with some of the parts, cruisecontrole and cluster..
I'm thinking on installing the climate controle.,,
I have seen the tread on how to( with the complete dash removal)
, and i've seen the simple version...
But i have the vent lever between the two airducks so i cann't find no 99-00 with the lever in between.
has anyone installed the one with the lever in the middle is it easy or do you have to bend the steel or will the 96-98 airducks not line up with the 99-00 airvents.
I got this but with the lever in the middel of the airducks
Found this one in japan with the 99-00 klimate controle but the lever is not in the middle
This one also in japan,, climate controle 96-98 this is the one that comes with the honda navi.

Wel guys I finally got around and installed the JDM Ferio auto climate control..
Like someone told me when i was looking for info on the subject: someone had to be the first
i wasn't as hard as it looks..
you just got to have all the parts..:
just missing the temp sensor, but they are on the way..
-the auto climate controle console
-wiring harnes 2 pieces, compleet until the connector upto the centerdash blue 16 pin plug(96-98 Ferio civic)
-2 interior temperature sensor
-1 exterior temperature sensor
-1 AC thermostat original from Ferio Auto climate control
-99-00 climate controle Air/mix actuator
-the two corners from the bezel,,(from the hazard and rear defogger)
you got to use your own hazard and defogger buttons because
the switch in the back are not the same and they will not fit the JDM switches.
you have to carefully refit your buttons into those JDM bezel corners...
It is a snugg fit, it is a little to the right but
not really abvios.. only civic fans MIGHT notice a slight shift.
FULL auto
I just got the last interoir sensor and finished the full setup,,everything works

i love the OEM VTi wheels. thinking about importing some. haha. VTi front and rear lips look good as well.
change your wheels back and lower it and theyll fill the "wheel arch" fine. also, but some CTR tail lights.

The stock EK4 wheels are not sold in the US.
The sideskirts and front lip were sold in the US, but didn't come on any cars standard in the US. They might have been less popular here because they were only available for '98 coupes (the sideskirts are the same as any other coupe/hatch sideskirt though - just painted). Of course in the US the DOHC VTEC engine in the Civic came in 1999, so potential buyers might have skipped on an EX with lips in the hopes they could get an Si the next year instead.
If the OP wants cruise control, it looks like you can get some parts from the EDM market. For example, the same switch is used in the '99-'01 CR-V.
