This is my coupe. Not an EK9 Hatchback, but it's still fun to drive...I just wish JDM steering wheels weren't so darn expensive... well, JDM parts in general...

I will be getting it back tomorrow. It had to get a new motor so I figured why not a CTR swap? The CTR motor swap I bought cost only 200 bucks more than what a B16A1 or 2 would cost so...

My plans are to turn it into a Type R clone... I know it's going to need some work... but I am optimistic about it...
 
lightweight 15" wud but my first purchase but dats jus me nice tho there is a smooth line wit de coupes loads of em here in ireland most only 1.6ils tho
 
Thanks and I already have some 15"s on it already, this was taken a week before I got the new wheels... I would like to find some HX wheels
 
ek9's never came in coupe format

also your coupe is more than likely an EJ and not an EK
 
Dont worry mate your get lots of post's in time espically once you start adding your updates, the dyno looks pretty good for a stock B16B. I think an Type r styled coupe could look pretty good be nice to see what else you have in mind to make it that little bit different .
 
no replys beacaue its nothing unique

also get an OE bumper so to get rid of that mesh

also is that a sticker going up the side or is it a refelction of light
 
No the stripe was painted on... I want to repaint the car the green color as that is the factory color...

I think the same blue as BLINX's car would look better, have a look at the ROTM at his boosted EJ9. I think it's called Tahiti blue but I'm not 100% sure.
 
I did notice an improvement in handling... I took my customary back route home yesterday to avoid traffic, and this way has a lot of twists and turns. I noticed my wheels didn't slide as much on the wet as they normally did... It felt as if I were on dry pavement...
