After owning and modifying my EK9 for a while now i thought i'd start blog so people can see whats going on (plus if i dont do it now i never will-the pics are building up!!)
this will be breef to get me started but you'll get the idea then the updates will be more detailed as they happen!
bought the car like this off a member (ek9cub) earlier in the year
i got it home gave her a clean,put in my headunit
from here i just enjoyed the comfort and the fact i had a normal car, and coming from a 106 rallye with itbs and a rollcage it was a joy to drive a comfy car!!
then the modifying bug came
sarted off by removing my air con that didnt work, making a cold air feed and removing the resonator box in the wheel arch
air con out
cold air feed routed and tidied up
installed an earthing kit
where did i go from here??
i got bored of the white on white look the wheels gave the car so when some 98 spec teg rims came up at a bargain price i bought them repainted them black and got some fresh toyo t1-r's on them
while this was going on i got my private plate assigned to the car and bought some seat covers in black
then i fancied a change with my rocker cover so i spent some time removing paint, painting swearing and came out with this
and thats where i stand with the car at the moment...well actually thats a lie
i was on the hunt for more power and after help from the forum and many different threads wihich brought up stroking the b16b engine.
thought about it for a while bought some parts and then after speaking to will (aka ek9turbo) i started to think about what i wanted from the car and started looking at my options.
in the end it came down to last weekend when i went and picked up b18c6 engine and box equipped with a skunk2 cam gears,stage 2 cams,retainers and springs, spoon high comp headgasket & hondata equipped p28 ecu
heres a sneak preview
im currently repainting the rocker cover and trying to source a lightwieght flywheel
all comments are welcome
