EK9: Optional Mudflaps and documents found

While the car is in hibernation, I’ve collected some stuff for the EK9 again.

First, a set of kind-of-rare Civic EK Hatchback mudflaps. They came with all the dirt from the previous owner, but after a bit of brushing it off with warm soap-water, they look quite good (See first photo).

What I didn’t think of, though, is the fact that they probably won’t fit with the TypeR’s rear under spoiler? Time to check my Japanese Honda accessories catalogue:

The Mudflaps were actually available, even specifically in TypeR colors like NH-0, but only the front ones. Which is also mentioned in the previous photo – That only the front ones will fit.

Then, I also got this Swiss 1996 Honda brochure.

Which tells you, you get all the chicks if you own a Civic Hatchback *lol*

Marketing was different back then.

The second book is a Japanese “crash estimation” book by JKC aka Jikencenter.

Their JIC Repair Times books estimate the time (and sometimes cost) to replace a certain part of the car in case of damage. This will be used by the workshops to estimate costs of a repair after damage / crash for insurance companies to see if damage is worth repairing or not, etc.
It’s probably not the most useful book but it gives you an idea how much time it takes to replace a certain part and has some nice drawings.

Stay tuned for another update, soon. I’m still working on those Honda Access strut tower bars and have collected some other stuff which should arrive here in a few days.
