B18 ek4 build


Really like this car, the attention to detail, and the subtlety as well... Beautiful :)

And they are possibly one of the nicest sets of wheels for the EK and suit this car particularly well... :nice:

nice to get bit of noise back but this set-up is very quiet before vtec which suits me.

I did mine last weekend and took a tenth of the time I would hand polishing it :win:

i started the manifold by hand then got fed up!

left it to the local "polish polisher" and he worked his magic on it :clap:

it sure is,was looking to see if i had any pics of 2-1 end but cant find them.

seems a very well made manifold and i like the mid range on the 4-2-1 designs :nice:


edit: i stated FEELS manifold few posts back when its a MAXIUM WORKS manifold.
meant to be much the same design i read thats why i prob wrote that!

Feel's is known for the high quality parts...
I have heard that has a very good ground clearance too.
You have a rare item there mate:nice:
I believe with the new engine it will give it's max!
 
looking great as usual and its always nice to add a few shiny parts, exhaust and manifold came up so well too :))

I had the lend of one of those meguires DA buffs recently, they work very well and you dont risk burning through the paint and leaving swirl marks like the angle grinder style buffs
