My Civic Ferio

Post by HOCSA »

Ok, first some background as to the Honda situation in SA, in case you don't know. Hondas were built here by Mercedes-Benz from the Gen.2 Civic (we got sedan only) until the EPs, at which point Honda split from MBSA and went alone.

We got gen.3 sedans only, EF sedans only and CRXs (imported, DOHC 1600 only, no SiR), EG sedans only, EK sedans and hatchbacks only (the EK hatch/sedan were the first Hondas we got that had VTEC - they are now very valuable and sought after). Then we got EP sedans and hatchbacks, and now we get Gen.8 sedans and hatchbacks, neither of which you guys get (we get UKDM spec). Up until EP, the sedans were known as Ballades and NOT Civics, a name i despise and thus call my car a Civic. Because my car was made locally it has a sort of "random" spec level, but i am slowly converting her to JDM spec.

So here's my mods list and some pics ;)
Julia (that's her name) is a D16A7 - 1600 SOHC non-VTEC

At the moment my car is pretty much stock standard, but the few modifications I have made are:
Whale Penis induction
TYC clear side indicators
Smoked headlights (DIY)
Chrome elbow beadings on doors (DIY)
Centre exhaust silencer removal
"Candy" rear lights (DIY)
KoeniC 40mm drop
D2 Short Shifter
Custom front bumper (DIY)
Colour-coded exhaust manifold heatshield (DIY)
JVC KD-G720 USB head unit
OEM Honda 14" CRX Si rims
Bridgestone Potenza GIII - 185/60 R14
JDM centre console
JDM front seats
Rage SSX1 "Bush Canon" backbox
Ferodo Platinum brake pads
Osram "Cool Blue" headlight bulbs
"Autostyle" shoulder pads

This is when she was stock(ish):
