Jimmys Ek9 - b20 to k20 s/c build

[Wazer]

Some more updates;

Strange parcel arrived the other day, just so turned out to be a biig brake kit! Nice early birthday present I must say!

Comparing oem to the new kit:

Fitted them up, and wow...

slight problem though, not all the bolts are the same length for some reason?? ( ended up looking like this.

But anyway, it's safe to say it clears 15" TE37s with NO spacers yo.

All front brake lines fitted, clutch line, tyres mounted - engine hopefully tonight If i get enough time.

Will be getting some m8 bolts tonight so i can properly fix the bells/disks together. Meh, you need to see them with full slicks on. They look soo aggresive :-D

Look forward to more on this as allways!

Little pic with the tyres on, also with them being 8" wide - they will stick out from the front wing about a inch odd.

**** me!!!

worth replacing the 4 bolts on the camber arms dude, noticed they were a tad crusty when i loosened them off to back off some camber!

looking good so far

oooft Waz, this thing is becoming a beast! Come along way since i seen it.
Hows it going up north dude?

 

[Wazer]

Cheers for the replies alot more to come!

On a 4 month course at coningsby at the min, trying hard to get the car down south without it costing me loads so i can work on it. Scotland is great though, loving it so far!

Im going back up this weekend with the plan to get the whole interior, sanded, primed and re sprayed then whole interior in. Got a few more pics to go up but internet isnt the best down here so will have to wait.

Front end is soo low with the stiffest dc2 subframe ever and the ohlins coilovers - could easily step into the bay when the engine wasnt in lol

JIM do some updates!

 

[Wazer]

Fair bit done this weekend, extended stud hubs swapped across, new rear pads in. Interior was being such a pain though! Got most of the cage sprayed but ran out of paint :-(.

Wings may need opening up lol. not sure how these pics have turned having uploaded them on the phone.

Mate, tell me about it lol - just hope i can drive it well haha. Will be getting it tuned maybe by my old garage, 4 wheel aligned and corner weighted. Still lots to do tho!

Edit: cheers ally, glad you like it! It was crazy with the noise it made at max chat, so unique

 

[terro]

Very nice build plan in the future to do the same

Got given a 5 day weekend so I travelled back up north to work on the car, got so much done - well chuffed with the progress i made!

Finished spraying the cage off

Then got to work on the interior, love the fresh champ white look!

Then rebuilding commences, enjoyed this part.. looms in, dash in etc.

Still need to refurb the spoiler baseplate etc.

New ecu came today aswell, aem series 2 ems for hybrid vehicles (kswap). Potentially could get her fired up this weekend!

Found these in the ceiling! Crazy looking lol.

shame i couldnt install shifter :-(
