either '96 or '99 civic, wear & tear honda parts are too costly! i change all bushing.. stereng rack.. ball joint.. upper arm.. almost rm1.5k include labour!

local spec EJ, never hav B16 engine! onli EK4 & EK9 got & it's Original not convert. for ek3, ek5.. are single cam only, D-series!

EK4 Si is the only choice for u if u looking for EK 4 doors. its original manufactured in japan n equipped with b16a engine. but its kinda hard to get.
the other way is to get local EK (EJ) with converted engine to b-series.
i got one fren wanna sell his EJ with b18cr at 55k n 99 spec.. letme know if u interested,.

where's your friends location...and is he wanna sell it urgent...or he can wait? can i convert the D model head engine to b16 head? what i mean is from VTEC SOHC to VTEC DOHC

cannot. u have to do whole engine transplant. even the parts oso not interchangeable.
i think my fren can wait.

agreed with you Eddy..the most problematic in EK and very hard to solve unless you changedd all the bushing and the steereng rack part.:cry_smile:
