EK9 out of budget lol

Possibly in the market for another EG shell if anyone knows of anything. Tin top, preferably rolling with all panels. Can be minus interior/engine etc.. Do let me know!

Long time no speak.. I revived an old friend over winter last/earlier this year that I’ve not driven in over 4 years. K24A3 K20A2 head/cams/vtc RBC K20a2 pump Tegiwa exhaust mani LA Fab 3” exhaust 5.8FD JDM 4th 5th 6th Completely rebushed, YellowSpeed premium comp Coilovers, usual smattering...

Managed to chip away at the list of jobs needed to get the red DC2 in for paint. - Front end panels/bumper/lights removed to assess front panel and inner wing condition, pleasantly surprised with no horrors to report. Very clean. - Corrosion around the rear vent cut out and replaced with...

The EK9 shell has sold. I'm hoping to buy a complete example next year all being well, I just cant commit the time and expense that the Yellow shell needed. I have now ordered the following for the EG6s built B18C which means its edging ever closer to completion: - Brian Crower BC0013 Stage...

Well.. excitement short lived with the EG6 with lots of faults finding their way through the paint after just 5 weeks. Gutted is an understatement. Rust appearing on the N/S/R arch, moisture coming through on the quarters and bubbling/rust/crazing appearing everywhere. Going back in soon to be...

Despite my best efforts to do so, I missed the opportunity to take the EG6 to Mimms on sunday with a misfire just creeping in at 11;45pm Saturday night to dash my hopes. That said, we did only collect the car on Wednesday from paint and got this far with it by Saturday evening, so I'll take it...

Had a welcome update from the body shop regarding my EG6 last night :))

Another outing! Nearly two years since we’ve been back to Cadwell. Had a mad rush getting these three ready for the day, all performed superbly. DC2 is phenomenal at the minute. With an eyeballed alignment it managed a 1:41.8 in the afternoon. I say “it” because it definitely humours my...

One day perhaps ;) White DC2 got some loving too. Hubs swapped, just some ATR discs to fit up front and throw some tyres on its new shoes

Sourced some oem 96 wheels for the red dc2. Couldn’t resist popping them on and giving it a quick spray down while I was de-greasing the bay this evening. It looks a million times better just for being off the horrid gold wheels.

EG6 still away at the body shop, hopes of taking it to Cadwell next month are slipping away with each day but I suppose as long as the final result is good thats all that matters! Received some goodies in the past week: New set of Enkei RPF1s in 16x8 ET38 courtesy of Mr Ivell at 6two1...

You too mate. It is indeed! Fingers crossed it'll not be too much longer before I can start getting somewhere with it.

EG6 finally away to be painted. Can’t wait for it to come back with its new look.

Small follow up, the red DC2 was due to go in for paint this week but I've a few more jobs I'd like to complete before it does. The EG6 is now going instead, due to be collected any day now. Completely stripped bar the dash internally, all seals removed where possible and the last bits of...
