001 - UNSH!TBOX (KAMM'S EK1)

Since I was a kid, my parents always taught me that honesty is the best policy. With that being said, these photos are from earlier in the year, but the car remains exactly the same, just less shiny (thanks to @madautodetailing). I bought this car at the end of 2021 as a purchase to fill the void during a rather challenging time in my life. It gave me something to focus my time and energy on.

My older brothers and my dad have always been team Toyota. My oldest brother had a couple of Z20 Soarers, his first car was an '80s MR2 with pop-up headlights, and most recently, there’s a Crown Majesta sitting on my dad’s driveway. My middle brother has owned a Z30 Soarer and the coolest car, a Toyota Aerocabin. The Aerocabin is a super rare, two-door Soarer that swaps its rear passenger seats for a hard-top, convertible roof. My dad also had a Celsior. I would sit in the back and press a button in the armrest that would fold the front headrest down and slide the chair forward—it’s safe to say my brothers were not fans of this. You can imagine the response when I said I wanted to get a Honda Civic. I liked the way they looked, and a family friend, Simon (better known online as Joydrive), had a really cool yellow EK, which I hoped to replicate. After many messages to him asking if “this one was good?”, we picked one up for just under $5k, with around 250,000 km on the odometer.

As referenced in Simon’s “Reviewing the Joydrive EK Civic,” I have a bottom-of-the-range, windy-window Honda Civic. It’s the facelift model (made between 1999-2000) and was in pristine condition when we picked it up—something that would change during my ownership. The previous owner had looked after it immaculately, and it was mostly stock, other than an Integra DC5 steering wheel, replica Integra blade wheels, and a Skunk2 shifter knob. It has a D16Y4 engine with an impressive 0-60 time of about thirty seconds, but it ran smoothly and was cheap to run as a daily driver. There were no "beans," a testament to its 88kw/118hp engine*.

I grew up around *Need for Speed ProStreet* and *Initial D*, so I had big plans, and after saving up, I started modifying it. The first thing was EK9 cup holders, as my partner at the time grew tired of holding my drinks between gear changes. I ordered some “angel eye” LED headlights and a rear lip from an online store and found an unpainted front bumper, white front lip, and replica EK9 grille, along with the personalised plates “EK1WA.” It was all starting to come together just as I’d planned—until one drive home from work when I rear-ended a BMW X5.  

I stand by the fact it wasn’t my fault; she was merging in front and stepped on the brakes abruptly. The bonnet bent upwards, and the engine frame was twisted inwards. I went to a wrecker and sourced a new bonnet, front left fender, and a new bumper to match (I had one from before, but it was bogged together, and the wrecker’s one was in better condition). After taking it to a fairly average panel beater, it was presentable again. Thankfully, it was mechanically sound, or I would have cried having it written off. You could say it was restored to factory settings. The old headlights went back on, the front lip wasn’t attached (I still have it—it just needs to be put back on), and it looked almost identical to when I first bought it. This was a hit to my motivation, and for a year, it sat as a daily driver, with the paint fading day by day until I got it detailed. This was the start of what I call the “un-sh!tbox era.” After replacing the previously crinkled number plate (the result of love-tapping a tow ball) and getting it paint corrected and ceramic coated, it looked like I hopped in a time machine and drove it out of the showroom.

I’m in two minds about where we go from here. After seeing builds like @hellokitty_assia’s Hawkeye WRX or @eurmum_kirby’s MX5, part of me still wants to see through the original objective of wrapping it pastel blue and adding the cool headlights, but I’ve grown to learn that less is more. Clean, OEM cars are equally admirable, as I learned from walking around REXNation’s meet last weekend. So for now, I’m 50/50, but I’ve re-found my passion and cannot wait to see where the road takes us (all puns intended). If you want to keep up to date, follow my personal Instagram (https://instagram.com/ek1wa). Again, a huge thank you to MadAutoDetailing, Simon/Joydrive, and a big “eff you” to the lady driving the X5.

King for a day

A short history of the Crown Part 10: Toyota Crown Majesta & Crown Comfort. Since the 1990s the Crown range has divided into 3. From 1992 at the top of the range a larger, V8-powered Crown Majesta (top pic) was added. Then from 1995, at the bottom of the range, the Crown Comfort was introduced to serve the taxi market (black car) but was also made available in a “civilian” version (white car). The Comfort was discontinued in 2017 to be replaced by the production version of the JPN Taxi Concept. The most recent 6th generation Majesta (bottom pics) which debuted in 2015 was discontinued on April 27, 2018 to be replaced by the new 15th generation Crown��
