B18c EG6 SiR-S.

Post by mattj »

Picked up this car as a shell recently, was been broken for parts, just managed to save it in time before it went to Honda Heaven.

It is a genuine SiR-S in Milano red, and has 62k miles on the clock.

I didn't take any pictures of it when I picked it up, but only when i'd put it back together and got it home. It had no bumpers on the car, no lights, and some nasty Concerto alloys on 2 wheel nuts. The original engine had already been pulled out, and most of the engine bay components, clutch line, fuel filter braket, washer lines even. Things along those lines that weren't massive issues, just annoying issues to sort when I didn't really need too.

Unfortunately, the previous owner caught his wall reversing onto his drive with the drivers wing and door, casing a bit of damage. i have a replacement wing, and door, in Milano red, though as usual they're not the same colour.

The front bumper is also beyond help. It's had a J's duct stickaflexed on, which has been removed. The fog light is therefore missing, and the bumper has sticker flex coated to it. I have an Eg2k bumper, with BYS lip to go on, but that's in yellow. The car will go in for paint with the new wing and door shortly.

I bought a set of fat fives the same day I picked the car up. I'm not, or wasn't, a huge fan of these wheels. They were the standard wheels for the car though, and the idea was to return it to a close to OEM as possible, with a few subtle mods.

Day I got it home:

I'd already decided by this point to break the Dc2, and pillage most of the parts for the EG. The Motor, box, suspension and seats were put into the EG, over the course of a weekend.

Image

Image

Image


The aircon pump was removed while the engine was out. The alt / PAS belt were both changed also. The water pump had been done recently, as had the cambelt. The engine milage from the DC2 is presently 91k, and the cam belt was done at 60.

Image



All done and back on the floor.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Once it was all running perfectly with no codes ((3 / 20), Previously had Hondata, and a separate MAP plug was hard wired into the interior loom, the engine one was linked out, so it was ignoring the one from the dc2 engine loom. Found it eventually, extended it and plugged it in, runs like a champ.)a few mods were done.


Original seats to come out. Very comfy, but a high driving position.

Image

Teg seats were wet vaxed

Image

Image

and came up close to new, not 100% though obviously, there is still wear.

Image

Driver's side out and hoovered

Image

Teg seat in

Image

Passenger side

Image


All back together

Image


Fitted a KPH / MPH converter. Driving as little as possible while still in KPH so as not to ruin the mileage of the car. (photo's blurry as hell, was cold and I was sat in the engine bay soldering lol)

Image

Found some OEM headlight protectors at a good price, so I snapped them up, cleaned them up and fitted.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image



Spec.

SiR-S standard trim.
Keyless entry
Zenkei interior
power fold mirrors
Charcoal colour bump strips.

B18c swap.
'mugen' airbox mod
ITR linkages / shifter
ITR gearknob
ITR shocks
Eibach 40mm springs.
ITR B pipe
EK9 backbox.

Unknown brand suede wheel.
ITR Recaro Speed seats.
Honda Access floor mats
Fat fives / T1R
OEM headlight protectors.

Plans are:

Steering wheel to be replaced (waiting on ebay postage)
eg2k bumper
BYS front lip.
wing / door damage fixed.
bumper / door / wing painted.

Probably more that i'll do, but not thought that far on yet.

Much appreciated 8)

As far as I'm aware the main difference are:

Keyless entry (small rectangular sensor on the drivers door handle, I'll get you a picture)
Momo 4 spoke leather steering wheel, and leather gear knob.
One off 'Zenkei' charcoal interior.
Anthracite (or close to) bump strips, as opposed to black.
Arm rest as standard

These are the only parts missing from this EG, that are part of the SiR-S original spec.

Unique ‘DOHC Vtec’ decals on the doors
Champagne coloured EG6 alloys


-Choice of three colours: Granada Black Pearl, Milano Red or Lausanne Green

Mechanically there are no differences. Despite what people tend to assume, the S didn't come with an LSD box as standard, though like the SiR, it was an optional extra. The SiR II did have an LSD as standard iirc however.

Today I changed the wing and the door ready for paint, as they were damaged. What a PITA. EVERYTHING was different. I took loads of pictures, despite being ready to set fire to the car, after removing and fitting a door by my self, not to mention the bits in between.

The Damage:

Image

Image

Image


Wing off. Wire tucked head light loom, in braiding for protection.

Image

Image

Replacement wing:

Image

Side skirt off, metal arches / sills :top:

Image

Image

Image

Stripping the bits from the damaged door

Image

Stripped.

Image

Door off

Image

The replacement door.

Image

Stripped down. In this picture I'd already replaced the handle mechanism, as the one on this door was faded slighty, and had a no fear sticker on it lol.

Image

As I said, everything was different. This is the lock mech from the SiR-S door (left) and the one from the door from a UK eg. (right)

Image

Plug differences. SiR-S left. UK car right.

Image

SiR-S door handle bottom. Note the small sensor above the lock. This is for keyless entry as standard on the SiR-S I mentioned earlier in the thread. Fly a** sh*t from 1992.

Image

The rear of the door handles.

Image

Differences in door looms. Uk car left. (CL / EW / Manual mirrors) SiR-S right. (EW / CL / Keyless entry / EM / Power fold )

Image

UK CL module left, SiR-S right.

Image

Bit of bodge found on the speaker loom. Not sure it required 380v rated terminal block, but none the less.

Image

Soldered, then crimped simply for protection.

Image

A well focused picture of the new door built up and fitted to the civic. If you've ever fitted a door to a civic, imagine how much fun I had doing this by my self.

Image

Shut lines, along with colour difference in door and bump strips. SiR-S standard are grey, UK / SiR are black.

Image

A picture of my shoe I took as I caught my phone after dropping it while taking a picture.

Image

Door all back together.

Image

Colour difference once again.

Image

All done. As you can see, it's almost impossible to tell the door is a different colour. Infact, this could just be the first photo I took, posted at the bottom to fool you.

Image

And the bumper I have to replace the one that's coated in sticker flex. It's an Eg bumper, with s2k vents blended in, with a BYS lip. I think I'm going to remove the black grill from the OE bumper and fit it to this one. I'm not keen on the large opening, it's not a boosted car.

I know all about stripping, rebuilding and hanging doors alone. Been doing it to the Barca green EF9, what a royal PITA.

I honestly feel your pain. I still have to swap the glass over, but I was running out of light and still had other things to do on the night. I'll do that tonight.

Today I picked up a Momo leather steering wheel to replace the tired suede one that was on the car when I bought it.

Said wheel

Image

The leather Momo

Image

And after some leather wipes

Image

New wheel fitted.

Image

Image

I also wet vaxed the mats at the same time I did my seats, but forgot to take an after picture untill now.

Before

Image

After

Image

I do have a full set, just once again forgot to take pictures.


As the car is going in for paint soon I decided it would be better for me to repaint the replacement bump strips now, as apposed to later in case I marked fresh paint in any way.

Masked up

Image

Keyed and plastic primered.

Image

Colour going on. Looks dark here, but it's fresh, has just gone on.

Image

Image


And all done..

Image

Image


This is a picture of the colour match. The piece I'm holding is the original bump strip from the SiR-S wing. I've never tried to get colours exactly the same before, usually I'm painting small pieces for detail, not to match them, but feel I've done quite well here.

Cheers mate.

Not the whole car no, the paint is actually very good. I'm getting the eg2k bumper painted, along with the replacement wing and door. I'm also getting the passenger wing painted as its got a scratch on it from the engine conversion. May also get the bonnet done just to keep to front end fresh.
