So most of you will probably recognise this car..
I was after a mint example of a black ek9, and after aa lot of hunting I've finally got one! For the age of it, I'm pretty happy, although there's a few things I want to sort straight away!
so spec:-
1997 Black ek9
Meister R Zeta S coilovers
5zigen Pro racer exhuast
ITR airbox
and that seems to be about it, a fairly nice unmolested example
It's off to the bodyshop hopefully next week, both bumpers need a respray and there's a fair few marks/chips on and around the doors when someones tried to break in. Also a few scratches but the car's covered in swirls, so hopefully they'll machine out when I get the DA on her!
The wiring also seems to have been played with in the past and it got through and MOT with the ABS bulb taken out, but I want to get that sorted out rather than ignore it really. I'm also finding the passenger door a bit touchy to unlock so will have to look into that too!
Short term plans, source another set of alloys, purchase some good rubber and get it out asap on track.
Long term... we'll see how I get on with it, I'm honestly missing my other car! but K swapping sounds fun..
some pics with my other car, they'd covered 1300 miles between them that weekend so they're both filthy! Sax had just done a track day too and I think I might have upset my handbrake, not sure why her arse is in the air!haha
and a few shamelessly stolen ones from a previous owner as I haven't had a chance to get any yet
