hey all... where this is my first build up never really bothered creating one before but i thought as i gotta bit of spare time why not?
i
ve had this car just under a year now, i upgraded from my ek4 it was upfor sale not long ago but after some long thinking ive decided to keep it.

its had various bits on since ive had it i havent got pictures of it all but i will do my best to show you the progress.

Here was the ek4 ..

after a while i got bored of the stock set up... dont get me wrong it was good ive always admired this care but i believe that there was more to get out of it. i went through a patch when i fought i didnt wnat the ek9 any more i wasnt somthing newer more modern :( and i just didnt understand why i didnt like it so much any more:angry:

to relight the spark i fought i might aswell mod it a lil and see what happens so i decided to put my d2 coilovers on and new exhaust and breathing mods on.
mugen 4-1
Fujitsubo Rm01a
Intake
decat

so the mods went on... the car was comign on well but i still fought it was underperforming when i was bench marking against other cars of the same caliber. i then changed exhaust again to and Amuse R1 titan

the car then felt awesom it was crazy how much diffrence it was, the noise of the car was out of this world:drive:!! but after all that knew what the car was potentially capable off, and the exhaust started grinding down on me cus it was so damn loud!!! so ive gone back to the fujitsubo great for eveyr day driving.

ive made a couple of new purchase recently, Volk te37's and spoon lower seat rail. the seat rail is very good i previously had edenz bucket seats in the ek4 and they had low rails and the spoon ones are practically the same making the driving possesion now basicly perfect very low and very flat. got pictures of the car in its current state.... took some pics today after a clean.

any way... thats all i have to show for at the moment!! but as usaul open to comments good or bad thanks for checking it out..
 
Looks great man, that green EK4 is very nice too. Love seeing EK's in the more rare colours. :nice:
 
Looks ace dude:nice:. How loud is the Rm01a with the the decat? Ive heard some say its pretty quiet at lower revs then lets rip/gets loud in vtec while others have said its loud throughout the whole rpm range?

Thanks
 
erm to me its a great combination of both low down rpm its quiet and it doesnt drome, when it hits vtec it has very distinctive tone not to over powering. its a lil louder than the mugen.. but to me its just right.

to all- thanks for the comments guys
