My ek9

[egshane]

hi guys i thought i would start a new thread in the build up section.

im just going to start from when i first got the car but stupidly i have got any pictures of it complety standard engine etc.

but i hope you like!

Well first of all i gave it a good clean and already had parts for the car before i even had the 9 thats how excited i was!

The first buy for my car was a j's racing rear strut brace, its just perfect does what its supposed to and does it very well and also looks amazing

I was in love with the look and the sound of my brothers spoon n1 when he had it on his DC2 so i had to have one, so i did i bought the n1 and b-pipe for a very good price

its just sounds perfect!

I also removed my rear seats and carpet and tools!
But need to paint the rear floor will hopefully be done soon!

I found a carbing 3 point strut brace for sale for a very good price so i needed it and when it arrived it is an amazing strut brace i was shocked at the weight and also the quailty!
Bought a mugen intake i personally bought it becuase i had money spare from buying the car and it was more of an impulse buy but im glad i did!

New box arrived one morning and it was my bride low seatrail after waiting months for it to be shipped here from japan, it was well worth the wait! one of the best buys i have so far!

Had to buy some spoon socks and spoon rad cap

Livvy had these for sale so nabbed them as soon as possible! ATM they are still being refurbed but i will get some pictures of them when they are done up as soon as possible.

the newest buy so far is some brand new AD08's in 195/55/15 i will get pictures soon but they are absolutly amazing going from parada spec 2's to these is like night and day one thing i will never try and save money on is tyres beucase they just make the car.


Parts ive bought so far are:

j's rear strut brace
Mugen Cold Air Intake
Carbing 3 point strut brace
Master cylinder stopper
Bride low seat rail
Decat
Spoon B-pipe
Spoon N1
Spoon rad cap
Spoon socks

Spoon SW388's

thanks again

the rear strut brace is amazing it makes the car feel alot stiffer and sharper!

sweet ride, you definately doing all the right things. How much did you snag that Mugen intake for?

i manged to get it for around £300

 

[egshane]

will are now fitted and will get some pictures up tomorrow

tbh im not 100% with them i think its becuase of the standard height of my car!

 

[tico_ek9]

Very nice car..Can't wait to see it finished

 

[egshane]

Pictures as promised!

i tried my first HDR pictures i think they came out ok! but i have orignals aswell if wanted

i hate the calipers at the moment so im going to be painting them black until i buy some spoonage

tell me what you think!

 

[Dannyboy205]

The wheels looks great, i never get tired of seeing spoons/ desmonds or slips on ek9s, its a win combination. Spoon calipers would look good behind there, what about yellow calipers though until you can get the spoons?

Or will they stand out to much

yeah i think yellow will look a bit strange im more on the subtle black look until i get the spoons

im waiting for so many people to ask if they are slipstreams

but aslong as i no they are sw388's

 

[Snaggletoof]

Lookin good bud!

I wish we could get the CTR here in Canada

 

[sifikat_10ek4]

Looks very good mate!

 

[LiamEk4]

looking amazing mate very clean i think just paint the brakes red maybe?

 

[MPower]

Mint example mate , beautiful

 

[Dannyboy205]

Ye i suppose yellow might be a bit lairy, black is always a safe bet. Are you going to buy spoon calipers then? as for the same price you could get as good if not better upgrades (accord type r calipers?) but i suppose you dont get the looks or name as you do with the spoons.

 

[egshane]

thanks guys!

with the calipers ive never been a fan of red and yellow your right will be a bit lairy lol!

im going to paint them black until i find some spoon calipers!
