My Journey with a 7th Generation Honda Civic (ES) 2001

this ne ?

sorry that was a typo thanks to the mobile ads.

What I meant to say was this particular one was sourced from Bilal Gunj.

2005 would mean beige interior... Now I don't know if you'd be able to find that.

@uiv?

[intelosama]

yes beige interior, ur in karachi right ?

Unfortunately I haven't got around to doing it as yet - been very busy. But I've bought all, well most of the requires accessories. Now I'm in the process of executing some big plans which may imply that I wont get to do it altogether.

Man there are tons of guides available on the internet, this has to be one of the most popular diys ever! Also look through YouTube you'll find instructional videos there too.

You might need to do some modifications to the inside of the panel so do take into account the risks and skill required to do that.

All the best.

PS: I remember seeing someone having done this for a swift in Pakistan. @DrShaggy I believe. Seek his support.

I have seen too much on the internet but cant seem to find the necessary parts locally, especially the DAC. Thats why I thought if u had done it, it would have been a great help.

I will check out DrShaggy. Tnx.

I ordered all the cables, charger etc from Ali Express. After all the guides I went though I concluded that going for the DAC or processing doesn't really add much value so my plan was to keep it simple and go analogue through the aux cable. Everything else is pretty simple as long as you are ready to get your hands dirty.

Hope this helped. All the best and do share your experience

Thanks for the kind words

Jawad bhai absolutely brilliant work on the ES, looks pristine. Can you PM me the price for the paintjob please along with the color code. It seems different than the original 2001 ES charcoal grey and more like the revised grey that came in the 2005 civic, which looks brilliant! Also if possible price for those headlights.

Thanks for the kind words - I'm really glad that it turned out the way it did otherwise it would have been a very expensive risk to take. I hadn't noticed the color difference until now that you mentioned it, you are right, it does seem closer to the 2005 version - it's got more 'metallic depth' if i can say.

PM'ed you the details

[intelosama]

Thank you for the messsage. btw one advise, try sourcing some sound dampening material, decent quality and in bulk amount and sound proof the car, doors, floor, wheel wells, hood (if possible), roof( if possible but the risk is pretty great if you havent ever removed the liner.). The car becomes so so quiet it feels like any premium car like an accord or mark x. It will add weight and MONEY, but I felt the premium feel of the doors closing, the silence of the car, no road noise to be a BIG improvement in luxury if you plan to keep the car.

[intelosama]

@aus1 from where can i go for sound dampening ?

[intelosama]

@juadjee kindly pm me the details plz

[AusI]

@aus1 from where can i go for sound dampening ?

Not sure. There are a few people on the forum in the electronics and sound system forum who will be able to help you out. I got dynamat for myself so that was different.

[Taimur92]

@aus1 from where can i go for sound dampening ?

Some audio shops in khi have stinger roadkill expert bulk packs in stock. Check tariq road audio shops or Haroon radio. Also, Stp- pakistan also supplies sound damping material directly to the consumer in Pakistan. You may have to look up on Google 'stp-pakistan' and call them.

[intelosama]

@taimur92 thanks brother i will surely call them tomorrow.

I am also planning to repaint my car as it has got few dents, scratches and paint fading.
As per the pics i guess Yazdani is a good option as i have estimates from Toyota Southern, Central and Eastern, but all i want is the flawless work for my car.
So please share your experience with yazdani and suggest me anything further if possible.
