Jamie_ EK9 K-Swap build


Tell him dont sell the fezza mate, run the lambo along side of it. 355 one of the best they made as a drivers car. Values only going up and up like you said.

Don't think he will let it go mate like you say was the best Ferrari before all the technology came in

Feels good on track as well pal

And yes the value is just going up
 
Small update

So this happened to me late at night my bottom ball snapped on I was so pissed off when it happened but **** happens, My dad the legend he is came and rescued me and my misses at 12.30 AM at night

The next day

Up early the next day to strip my mates EK4 sir down to borrow his hub and wheel as it being a 4x100 managed to get it on and get the car home to inspect the damaged and I was so lucky not to do any real damage just the wing thank god

Anyway had a message from @harvey j had a pair of wings going cheap so went to see him and picked them up

Just a random picture of the car

Got an MOT on my daily fiesta tonight so the EK9 will be coming off the road for some major work one being an engine conversion :)

Thanks for looking all comments welcome

Very lucky mate , could of been a hell of a lot worse.
Glad it's sorted now .
 
Car is now off the road for some work

Very hot yesterday First thing was to start stripping the car down ready to under seal the whole car before anything else

More to follow as I've got 2 weeks off work next week so should make some good progress

Ha-ha lee Same here mate been raining non stop since Monday pal

Hope it clears up as I've got 2 weeks off work next week
 
lucky to get away with relatively minor damage, seen a few vids of this happening on track to hondas and the results were not good! hope you get it sorted quickly.
 
So last Saturday i began to strip the rad out and all the other small thing out the way and got the engine out in one with loom still connected to the engine anyone after a complete EK9 B16B motor and S4c LSD box





Took everything out of the engine bay, headlight loom , fuse box , master cylinder , clutch master cylinder , headlights







Once the engine was out i began to clean the lower half of the engine bay and chassis legs and under Neath the car to underseal it here it is going on









The finished result of the underseal













How she stands at the minute




All comments welcome just waiting for some nice weather to continue on the car
 
Looking good! Engine bay brothers! Mine is empty too, you're a bit further along than me with regards to painting etc.
What's the plan with engine mods on the K swap and also Gbox?

Cheers sam , Yes mate seen your build coming along nicely , Little way from paint yet as i want to mock everything up and get it where i want it before it goes to paint

Engine wise will be an EP3 K20A2 motor with EP3 box for the time being until i get a DC5 motor and box to build it up with ITB's ect ect

Nice sounds good! My friend has a ep3 engine with manifolds and decat etc and makes good power around 240,
I rebuilt his gearbox with Carbon synchro's and he wishes he put an LSD in.
You will be able to make awesome power with an ep3 motor with breather mods, and and LSD will be awesome.
