Thought I'd start my build thread...
So Wednesday last week I finally got to pick up my EK9 (after about 7/8 months of waiting) from Torque GT. And after an hours drive I was greeted with this!!

Such a fun car to drive, but so loud!! Between the Mugen/Spoon exhaust system, straight cut gears and the solid engine mounts its so loud inside!
Since last week and now I haven't done much other than give her a good clean, discover the rear light leak :( (new seals on the way) and fit a new rear badge and new type r decals to the side and back.

Lovely 9 congratulations.
I prefer the clean look without decals,
But i might add mine if i get bored.
 
Stunning example mate. Whats your plans for it? Straight cut gearbox???

Needs new discs soon, cam belt also at some point this year and a good service. That's my priority right now. I wouldn't mind hunting down the original wheels.. but I do like the ones that's on now.
Straight cut gearing, basically the actual gears are cut straight makes them a lot stronger, but louder, it whines like anything at 60mph+

That should explain I hope..
 
I understand the concept buddy lol. Just rare to get them outside of motorsport! Will take some abuse. Got a set of standard ek9 wheels here, if you decide to change give me a shout.
 
Lovely looking car,
I find it really interesting that this has straight cut gears, do you know any details such as who they were made by, ratios, or anything like that?
Plated diff in there as well?

No other information unfortunately.. would be nice to know what exactly was done but Torque didn't have the info. It has an ATS torque bias diff fitted
 
Doubt you'll see this but I am now the current owner of this car! Check out my thread if you see this! Bought in Plymouth as a rolling shell, now up with me in the highlands of scotland getting rebuilt.
