Well as some of you know i sold my Ek3 and went and bought another EK. the whole 'stance' thing wasnt very practical as id be curbing my wheels and scraping everywhere,the main thing which made me want to sell the car tbh, was just money issues and wanting something faster, a quick convoy down to TOA last month made me realise how much i need a B series.

so these are the last few pics i had of my old ek3

^ saw it in pics at toa, so atleast the new owner is taking it on walkies :)

and onto my new car. some of you know i also picked up a b18c4 that was suppose to go in the ek3, but after adding up everything, it was better for me to just throw the money in a done up one :D the money and time just doesnt add up. and this came up, ive been dieing for a facelift for ages, not exactly the colour i wanted. but here you go :)

ive gone from the try to 'stance' to try to track. next on the list is lighter lighter and lighter. waiting on the groupby on ek9 forums for a carbon bonnet and bootlid :)
this car is amazing, took it to the snake pass last week, and i had adrenaline rush for about 15mins and i wasnt even over 5k revs... :thumbs: its alot more fun to drive, once i get more use to the car, il be taking it to snake pass again :)

this is the snake pass for those who dont know what it is :)

‪2008 Suzuki B-King 1340 onboard Snake Pass!‬‏ - YouTube

getting some work done, one of the wheel nuts were seized and it snapped in 2. was a bitch to get out, took about 2 hours, now i got a ****ed stud and chipping marks on my slips :( and also needing new sprak plug tube seals as mine is farked and its leaking oil into my spark plugs causing me to use ALOT of oil everytime i go into tec, so not had as much fun with it as id like yet..

got new black USDM headlights, fitment aint perfect. but gonna have a try DIY my own lights that i dont mind ruining now :D

thanks for all the nice comment guys :)

if you dont mind me asking, where'd you get the diffuser, i love that :nice:

well plan was to get my type r spoiler fitted today, but mm, i wont say anything about the seller yet as it needs to be sorted... disappointed is all i can say:angry:

diffuser is a universal one, i bought it off someone who had it on his MB6. also fitted it today with my chargespeed lip aswell :)

also had the battery box put in, and fake x bar (2 cusco pillar bars to look like a Xbar removed, as i couldnt fit my boot dampers on with them in)

the rear diffuser is abit stealthy and cant really been seen if your just walking around :) will be getting a front diffuser next month :)
