My ek4 vti

[marv_ek4]

Hi guys, thought id start a thread to show you my ek4 i bought a few months ago. I have mainly been an old ford man but have always had a soft spot for Hondas, when this came up for sale at a good price I sold my 2l zetec Escort and bought it. It came with apexi springs, powerflow cat back, Corbeau seat,projector lights,carbon front splitter,cheap horrible wheels, 12 months mot and 6 months tax . Here are my old cars and the civic how i bought it...

Fiesta 1.8 16v

Escort 2l 16v

Civic

I then de wipered the rear, fitted jap style plates and bought some red rota gt3's ( not using them till they stop salting the roads)

I have now fitted some oem front mudflaps, tilted the rear spoiler, fitted standard lights which have had the backs painted black, bought a oem ek9 rear lip and painted it myself, fitted a brake bar stopper and a mugen front strut brace. I have also removed the whole air con system which has tidied the bay up a bit.

The car was bought with the intensions of it being a sensible runaround that i would leave alone lol. Next il be of to CAS in the new year to have a custom cat back 2.5" system made up to mate to a custom back box which im going to get angled

Anyways hope you like.

Cheers

[marv_ek4]

Cheers for the comments guys.

Yeah i miss the fiesta, was a great first car! the civic drives great, feels a lot safer and more comfortable but i did like the rawness of the old fords

Nice one mate! Changes are subtle but have made a huge difference, the lights were a must. Good luck with your plans

 

[marv_ek4]

Cheers lads.

Yeah i hated the lights with a passion!lol along with the wheels but they are winter wheels for now. Could do with replacing the front splitter with a ek9 one as im not feeling the carbon one tbh.

Thanks for the possitive commments guys.

Today I undersealed the car using my new compressor I also fitted a buddy club short shift along with new poly bushes for the linkage,not had a chance to drive it yet but the shift seems tight now.I have also recieved a rear lower brace which il proceed to fit shortly.

Cheers bud.

I went to see Billy at CAS last week as he came highly reccommended from my mate Ross. I got him to make me up a custom cat back 2.5" stainless system with a silencer in the middle, I supplied a back box and he went under the axel and gave it a nice angle Really happy with how it looks and I highly rate his quality of work! It's bloody loud now lol

Pic when I arrived home, I have also fitted the rear lower brace

Then I gave the car a clean using my new snow foam lance works well.

Getting there mate coupe bumper is fitted, so now on the look out for a front lip

 

[marv_ek4]

Went to the local scrappy and spotted a black ej coupe, I have removed the fornt bumper, bonnet (as mine wasnt to great) and passenger door (mine has been bent and the window dosent work) fitted the bonnet and the bumper the ther day, I still need to remove the door handle from the new door and give it a good polish then fit. Heres some pics after a quick wash.

It sooooo needs a front lip now though!!

Cheers
