Went down to Bamber bridge to pick up my ej9 just before xmas and now think its about time to start my build up thread as theres been a few changes. I bought it from a young boy who couldnt insure it, previously it was owned by three woman drivers. the mileage was high but it had a fsh and just had a full head rebuild in late 2008, first honda ive owned that hasnt burnt oil.

heres a pick from when i first bought it and let the updates begin

When i got it home the first thing i did was put my new rota GT3's on

and put the coilovers on at the same time

I got some import plates, plate tilter, type r grill and mugen lips which totally changed the car, i put these on with my coupe front bumper and my smoother rear bumper.

i also added ek9 headlights that i got from ijwhiteman a while ago . I then got a ek9 spoiler from jock and painted it and put that on, de- wipered and de badged the back.

You picked up your B20 yet ?

I work just around the corner from overtons so could maybe pick it up for you if you wanted ?
 
Not picked it up yet . Its the full engine you get from them. Away to go phone them and see how long it takes them to get it out and how many they have got . Cheers man
