NeilVtec EK9 Build up


Must feel good to be so far along Neil. I bet you'll agree the feeling was soooo good when it started first time after and engine swap :nice:

You going to stop here or do you have more plans?
 
Cheers! it does feel good being so far along, but still miles to go yet!! Stop? is there such a word??
Still need some RCA's / New Gearset / Stiffer Springs or New Suspension / Lexan Windows (got a useful man ) / Roll Cage / / EK9 Headlights, Tbh the list goes on and on! Just a case of money and time as allways!

Just going to use it this year and concentrate on new stuff over winter! Only reason i ended up with the engine was because it was too cheap to resist :nice:
 
looks soooooooo good neil top work mate u know how much i love this car im jus gutted i couldnt bring mine down to see yours :( this will be a weapon on the track and nice to see u representing the vsm boys ;)
 
Looking good is it a B18C-R? What tranny do you have was that changed too, or are using the B16A tranny? Any new updates?

Its a B18C6 out of a UK Integra type R. Currently got a stock S80 Box on it, but that's changing soon!

Thanks for the comments and more updates should be here soon :nice:
 
looks great Neil, wish i had time or the moeny to spend on mine, im in dire need for some new wheels atm

keep the great work up
 
Serious amount of time and effort put in! Great build man! Car is amazing! :D
 
Nope! :(
I really want a set but refuse to pay £500 from honda. Tbh i may just DIY them, as much as i would love genuine ones. i would rather do it DIY than pay £250-300 For a set of second hand 11 year old honda civic headlights lol

Just keeping my eyes out for a set at a bargain price *fingers crossed*
 
ohh it didnt come with it? yea 250 odd qid for a set is abit £££ :( diy looks just as good though :)

am debating to facelift and spray black, or put a b18cr in :)

We finally got back home for 1:30am, Having to be up at 5:45am for Some sessions @ Mallory park with Welz.

Car performed so well it really did make the stress of the past 2months worth it, First session of the day was just getting used to the car, and getting held up by a fair of ***** that literally wouldn't let you past.
But the second session was awesome, i didn't see WELZ as he was behind me but looked like he was flying past everyone! myself and si passed the whole grid much to our suprise! Our cars are very well matched now so was good fun! Surprised me after seeing si’s recent power figures! really was a great day. I got some on-board footage from mine of me following si, Welz got some footage aswell, cant wait to see it!.
Here’s My On Board, Had to cut it short as youtube wouldnt let me have the whole thing!
