Heyyy heyy hey!!
So as some of you may know I have just imported a EK9 through Torque GT, it has taken 9 months but finally here.

I guess this will be my progress/build thread :)

Here is my intro/import thread:

Anyway, some pictures we all love pictures right?
The first pictures of the car I had in Japan:

I also got to see the car when it arrived in Southampton docks:

Just before I picked it up from Torque they sent me a few more pictures:

I went to collect her on Wednesday the 11th last week and had a great drive home I was so pleased :)

I got a bit excited and picked this up from Simon at Hendy performance on the drive home:
woopsy!

The Spoon B pipe and N1 back box sounds great! not too loud as long as driven correctly but when you put your foot down god does it scream!!
I also fitted the Spoon intake elbow but have not got pictures yet sorry! :(

I got home and spent some time cleaning and fitting parts with my friend and her teggy.

We then popped down to see Simon again and get some pictures with the EK9, DC5 and his FD2.

We should organise some sort of road blast once I get the B16 in Alex. Would you be up for a ring trip next year? I've got some big plans for the EJ ;) drop me a text mate

That looks like a very tidy example, well done!

Also love the brand new spoon catback effort on the way home, Glad to see more enthusiasts joining the forum, look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Hopefully no silly low ET wheels and rusted panels coming from the old VW scene :p.

He does this he will be chased down, beaten then murdered.
 
Seeing as how I know where he lives, if he does this, I'm happy to organise lifts for bats and pitchforks :lol:
