Dear all,

We can confirm that JAE 2006 will be at the same venue, East of England Showground. The date of the show will be 22/23 July.

We are currently in discussion with EoE to next years show and will update you as the information comes in.

not my style if i'm honest dude, but what a transformation
I've kinda grown out of it as well, was about 19 when i got this... i just turned 21, The kit flows well & I've made it as smooth as possible with no door handles, locks, side indicators, door stripe.

Engine is brillant, its a D16z6 (I imported a new one as the old ones head gasket was on its way out)
With a head shields Cold Air Intake & Twin 5in rage engine sounds awesome!!! When I am idle you can just hear it lightly mumble & cruising it low & deep but not too loud. When you put your foot down though its sounds amazing!

Plans to either get a Skyline R33 GTS, RX-7, M3 or another EG Civic & boost a B16 engine with full mods.

Only 31k? The cars just run it lol, They are well built cars... what plans have you got for it?
Also when you post your pic, go in advance post then scroll down to upload your images to imageshack, then use the second URL link. That way we get a thumbnail of the picture & then we can click it to make it go huge! Makes CC load up quicker as well!!

Sorry about the huge pic mate!

Yeah, my mum bought the car brand new and shes looked after it, apart from 1 minor bump on the rear, woman eh?! Cant wait to get the keys..2 months to go!!

First mod is a set of 16" rota grids in gunmetal/polished lip
JDM front & rear lips
mirrors, handles, etc colour coded
tints, nothin hardcore, just a light-medium smoke all round
lowered, just like 40mm or thereabouts
Through time id like a carbon bonnet but its not high on the list just yet.
full stainless system
Id love a set of CTR black headlights, they look ace
Some engine mods.

Ive wanted one of these for years so i'd be quite happy to keep it for the rest of my life, through time i'd like it sprayed a met. grey or even white and the engine swapped to a b16 or b18 as its only a 1.4 SOHC just now :(

Pics will be posted throughout the project.

Cool... nice car to start with... Keeping it simple is the key... I bet after a year or so you gonna want a B16 in there lol, my friend had the same EK civic, it also was a 1.4i SOHC. but for a 1.4 it was very nippy!!! Why not get yourself a CAI first, that should let it breath a lot better & make sure you keep the servicing going well.

Good luck with the project, just hope your mom don't reverese into any more lamp posts!

Haha well tough for them... everyone couldn't see the fuss I was making when I starting thinking about building this car... now they all understand! Even the girlfriend knows! hehe A bit of a shame I met her when I first built it... this cars a babe magnet, Make sure if any of you guys see me at the show, come say Hi! Just make sure you say your from CC :P

Good luck with the Civic... I've driven about 70 different cars, next week for EID I've hired out the saab 95Turbo (trust good car) I've drven CLK's SLK's, M3's on both E36 & 46, but the civic's have a personality none of them match!

Ohhh.. one of my mates just swapped his BMW 318is for a Nissan Sunny Pulser its a replica GTiR, but is pushing 289bhp... I tell you when he took me for a spin in it I was gobsmacked!!! Awesome!!! If only it didn't look so ugly I would have gotton one!

Oh yea sorry CAI = Cold Air Intake (You learn a lot on CC, been here for over 2 years & trust its an ace forum)
CAI also know as Induction kit... but the cold air intakes take cold air from around the floor point (where your standard box is) which is the coldest air. Induction is normally like an KN filter which get stuck onto the end of your Intake.
