Pics of my Civic HB from Belgium

Very nice car, neighbour 
(I'm from The Netherlands, so....)
I like the car. Well done!
I went for the Wings West also, your Tuner II style was too agressive for me. But I like to see such cars. The Avenger front is great I think, but well.... that's a front bumper which is sold too much, so I went for Bomex Aero, with Wings West skirts, rear bumper and wing.
Do you have mods on the engine?
Too bad, you can't do engine swaps. Well, you have to live with that. Maybe you have mods like air intake, exhaust, headers, etc?

Ik ben even naar uw website geweest. Jaja, jullie nederlanders houden van power en dat merk ik meteen bij het bekijken van uw website. Die turbo dat vind ik het einde alleen in België mogen we zulke dingen niet. Het enige wat veranderd is aan mijn motor is een short ram directe luchtinlaat, een 4/2/1 DC sports ceramic header, Neuspeed bougiekabels en verder nog een supersprint kat vervanger en een inox Simota uitlaat. Hoeveel pk winst dat geeft weet ik niet maar veel zal het wel niet zijn zeker?
In ieder geval uw coupe staat er echt wel heel mooi bij en wat de crx vtec betreft dat hoeft niet veel tuning dat is zo al een prachtige wagen. Heb er al over gedacht om binnen een jaartje of twee zo een exemplaar aan te schaffen om terug in nieuwstaat te zetten en hem te houden om later als oldtimer te gebruiken. (Goedkoop om mee rond te rijden maar veel nieuwe wagens kunnen dan een poepje ruiken).Mijn HB houd ik ook natuurlijk.
Kom je op zaterdag en zondag 28 en 29 augustus naar AVBsports in Verrebroek? Dat is een jaarlijks hondatreffen waar jaarlijks heel wat Honda rijders op afkomen. Ook veel Nederlanders. Anyway bedankt voor de goede commentaar op mijn wagen en misschien tot in augustus. Oh, ja nog veel succes op het EK voetbal in Portugal.
And now back in english, see you in Belgium neighbour.

I am going to write the reply in English. Headers, Exhaust system, Cat. replacement and Air intake will improve it well. That reminds me of my previous car, a 6th gen hatch with and 1.5 iLS VTEC-E engine. Stock 115 bhp, after air intake, headers, exhaust system and cat. replacement it had 130 bhp. Stock 0-60 mph was 10.2 secs, now it was 9.0 secs. So it's improved and the overal performance / torque was improved.
That CRX VTEC you mentioned has also got an Turbo, it has now 235 bhp (on the dyno). Exterior changes are not being done, my brother improved the performance, the handling, etc.
I would like to go to the Honda Treffen show in Belgium @ AVB Sports, but then I am on hollidays in Canada and US. Would like to see your car IRL! Maybe some other time.
It's a pitty that you aren't coming to AVB because I certainly would have wanted to see your and your bro's car in action. I think they both would rock! I have seen a Vtec turbo in action a few times before (the red Integra Turbo from Fast Freddy, don't know if you know him). But I've never seen an SOHC with a turbo in action and you really made me curios. Perhaps if you're coming to a meeting in Belgium sometime you can let me know... I have a few questions thow. Honda engines are known for it's power and reliabillity does that change once you have a turbo? You don't have to but could you put a price tag on the turbo, installing costs and all included? And finally did your brother go to Race Wars in Zolder the 31st of may? Cause there was a smilar CRX VTEC from the Netherlands beating the hell out of stock Integra's ! Greetzahoffman said:
DC dave...you wouldnt be interested in a pair of tuner sides would you? i have full urethane authentic Wings West tuner 2 sideskirts for 96-98 civics that i payed around $400 for...they are very nice and are already sanded and ready to be primered and painted...let me know i can get pics..
i hate it when people try to boost their views on car domain by posting a link on a forum... post pics, nobody wants to rate your ride.
Nice hatch. I like the steering wheel, but I'm not digging the front bumper. Overall its a nice looking hatch.
It's nice you're asking but I already ordered my side skirts and rear skirt in my favorite tuningshop VTsports in Brussels. And since the owner is a friend and member of the Honda club I'm vice president of I can't do that to him. Another problem would be the shipping costs I don't know exactly where Greensburg exactly is located but I'm thinking it's a long way from Belgium in the hart of Europe. But thanks for asking thow!SiLvErCiV said:
Hey man, I tried to post my pics but all of them had to much Kb to post. I guess it has something to do with my cheap digital cam. So I heard from someone you could make your own little website on cardomain and use that link to show my car pics elsewhere. So I did that. But only to be able to show my car pics on Club Civic. I don't give a f**k about my ratings on car domain, hell I haven't even looked at them yet. I'm a Club Civic fan who really really wanted to post his pics to know what the real Civic Tuners thought about it, so go easy on judging me before you know what I'm about. Thank you.Silver-Shooter said:
Yeah, my car is pretty fast though, but my brothers CRX kicks ass! My sohc with GReddy turbo kit produces about 167 bhp, on the dyno is said 182,5 bhp and 230 Nm torque. I don't know if I should believe those figures. It only runs at 0.4 bar pressure. Just wait for my engine rebuilt.... :-) Than it would run @ about 280 bhp.DC Dave said:
the reliability depends on how much pressure you put it. I would have more power when I would give it more pressure. It will keep up with it, but I want to keep it very reliable for daily driven (90 km a day). So that's why it only runs at 0.4 bars of pressure). The B16a1 of the CRX runs at 0.5 / 0.6 bars of pressure. When I rebuilt it, the engine is much stronger, so 1.5 bar is possible, so I would put it at 1.2 max.
The costs, well in europe it's pretty expensive. Including GReddy echaust system, three GReddy meters, all turbokit parts (intercooler, blow off valve, piping, etc.) I had to pay about 6000 euro. That's including building it onto the car by a specialised tuner.
My brother didn't go to race wars, hmmmm I need to keep track of those events. Anyway, comming weekend I will be at sixflags, a big tuning event in Holland.
