Matt's K20 CW EK9


More parts to add to the catalogue you've got.

Haha I know! I'm opening my own parts shop soon :lol:

Saving money now for a spare car & the tuning costs etc. then this will finally transfer parts from the house and onto the car!
 
Will be great to see it all finished won't it. Atleast you can still drive yours ATM?
 
Yeah man I can't wait to start! Yep still on the road and going strong :D
 
Yeah wish I could drive mine about. Miss it so much ATM
 
Yeah it's going to be rubbish when mines off the road haha!
 
Fitted my exhaust finally after some trouble with the decat not fitting due to longer header pipes.

Anyway, job done, it's on, sounds great & I love it!

Chopped the decat to fit and welded flanges back on.

Also took an onboard video of it, sounds great I think & looks good too but had to dim down quality rather than wait til next week for it to upload :angry2:. Various driving all edited together, VTEC & just cruising when stuck behind traffic :D

sounds nice mate should get an in-car video too :) love the effort gone into that manifold looks epic :D
 
Thanks :D yeah I could do, can't hear it so well inside as it's quite a quiet exhaust really. More the VTEC roaring inside lol!

Aye took a bit of elbow grease to get it polished up but well worth it :)
 
So not much been happening, just waiting in the wings until the new year to get this B18 in!

Meanwhile there's a few small things I still need so I got a Blox fuel pressure gauge for my fuel rail & a J's Racing oil cap to go with my cam cover.

Also need to get new Lost Motion Assembly for the head. I'm running Skunk2 Pro springs & retainers with Pro1 cams so should I get Skunk2 LMA also or OEM LMA?
 
Cheers lads! I went for OEM LMA's in the end as S2 have had some fail apparently. I've just been trying to make the build produce good power but with sensible mods that are proportionate to each other to try and make it as reliable as possible. I hope it will be... That's the only part I'm nervous about :nerv:

It is a very nice manifold! The pipe work on it is fantastic, real quality part.

Just been robbed £102 for a new door seal/weatherstrip to replace a split seal :( at least it'll stop the leak...

Other than that, not much happening except the saving of money to finish this build FINALLY! Been almost a year since I got the bottom end & rebuilt it now lol. Dragging like mad...
 
Bought a carbon front lip by Carbon Culture as I fancied a change away from my painted one which keeps cracking.

Must say its a top quality product, great fit too. Also popped my tilt bracket on.

Can only imagine how it will look with the sun beating off it. Bet the pics dont do it justice. Also what bulbs you running?
 
Thanks guys :) I kind of feel like I should get something else carbon though to match... Maybe a spoiler, I don't know really. I like the full carbon "Seekers" myself.

Aye the pics are from my iPhone so not the greatest. I want a proper camera but they're so expensive with lenses etc. it does look well with the sun on it. Will get some nicer pics soon in good weather.

Regarding bulbs - I run an 8000K HID kit. Can't remember the make. Was a bi-xenon kit off eBay. Makes a real nice icy blue colour without being too blue.

Fitted 4 new tyres the other day. Gone for a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE002 and they're amazing so far! Excellent tyres.
