Then I had the problem with the former battery. It contacted the blow off valve and the hood. Additionally it was only tied by an old belt.

Wanted to go for a ride but unfortunately the car wasnt running smooth.

I think its the sealing between turbo and header. So I decided to renew it.
Found out its installed a ED radiator:-( So this needs to be replaced  some day...

Try to get it ready until the EE Meeting 2016!!

Love the BBS wheels and color, but not the offset...

Me neither - unfortunately these are BMW rims with 5x120 and I needed adapters...

The season is done and I put her on the road for a last trip on Oct. 29th.

I only did ~100km in 2016 due to changing priorities in private live. And I put her on a trailer on the trip to the  EE-Meeting...

Few things have to be done during the winter and TÜV next summer :D

Few pics from the last meet of the season in Hamburg:

Heater Unit
My former heater unit was broken on two tabs. The pre owner tried to fix it but he wasn successful.

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Found an EF3 unit and started to change it for mine.

Good brackets:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Theres is an obviously difference between both. The small japanese fingers require larger rocker arm levers^^ Left EDM, right JDM:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Some parts required the changefrom RHD to LHD:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

The only difference between both units is the scale on the upper right side:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Everything works fine again and lightens as OEM:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Nonsmoker package:

My car is a non smoker car so there is no need for the cigarette lighter. I was looking for an alternative and found 12V Power outlet from a 1998 USDM Honda Civic LX .

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

After the uddate from OBD0 to OBD1 we were on the motor power testing station (dyno).

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Result are 280hp and 310Nm.
Next meeting was the hondapower.de Meeting:

After thinking about selling the car I am at a point where  I think this might be a big mistake.

So at first I started to rearrage the "furniture" in my garage to get more space and to be able to start working on the car this winter

2 or 3 years ago I found that the lock of the glove box is chrome. I always wanted to have that one because I have multiple chrome parts in the interior.

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

After large search I found out the Accord glove box lock is nearly the same. I found one in the US from a 1988 Accord Sedan.

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

EE-glove box:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

Accord glove box:

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76

As expected both were not interchangeable. The Accord one was larger.

My very first try of plastic welding:

Then I tried it directly on the good parts:

Due to the cage I wasnt able to open the glove box so I really do not needed the chrome glove box lock^^

1991 Civic EE9 from Germany Update p.76
