whats going on guys- well just got my ek about...2 weeks ago, sold my 92 h22 lude to pick it up. Car was in a slight fender bender before i bought it so it came with new hood/fenders- no frame damage though. Anyways has a 1.6y7 which im boosting soon, nothing special just a 14b turbo/hf mani/fmic lil things. Hope to keep the car daily driven, and after i boost im going to redo the interior. So far only done the "ctr diy" headlights, thats bout it. laterz

Welcome to the site dude, keep us updated with the progress of your EK!
 
been going through the board- most of you guys seem to be from the UK...i feel so alone haha.
 
nah man theres lots from the states :)
 
welcome! we have a lot of people from the USA dont feel "alone" hehehe, nice car dude! :)
 
thanks for the welcome guys. i really want to swap to a dohc setup...but boost on the sohc should be ok for a while- i reall wanna just go NA though- seems more expensive haha.
 
na IS more expensive. but then again going fast is expensive, i too am from the states, so cal. welcome to ek9.org, your prelude was really nice. i like it a lot, your hatch is nice too but it needs some love and judging buy the looks of the lude youll make the hathc nice too. and dont forget a boosted d is faster than a stock dohc so your doing the right thing imo, and you can always swap manifolds and run that turbo (though it might be small) on your dohc set up.
 
yeah i need to paint it, some local guy here was going to charge me from 800-1000 for a full paintjob, the previous owner just sprayed the exterior yellow, engine bay and door jambs and other areas are still the original purple color, DPK? or something. Right now i cant really afford that since im lookin for work- and going to school :(. But soon it'll get its fresh paint- just installed the ctr front grill- ordered the rear spoiler and than i need to order the front ctr lip to finish the exterior. Laterz guys
 
Im on jdmuniverse.com and i saw a thread about pixel cars. Started out with a yellow type r, and since im not a type r i switched my seats black, did the hood and fenders black to match lol, some suspension work and a muffler with the intercooler. I can make you one- post up a small pic of your car or pm it to me, lil details would help so it'll look more similar to your car.

If your talking about the reflection- i used photoshop. Just copy the normal pictures, flip it 180 than flip it horizontal, than set the opacity down a bit and blur it bro. if you need help pm me so i can understand what u meant. peace.
 
nice car n color dude...actually what color code for da yellow paint..
 
honestly i have no clue. the previous owner just resprayed the outside- door jams and engine bar are still that Dark Am..whatever Pearl (DAP). I thought it was Pheonix Yellow cuz its a "type r" color, and he had the type r front lip- rear lip- and side skirts...haha. But my friend said it doesn't look the same color. Either way- i'll be respraying it either Phenoix Yellow, Flamenco Black, Or Championship White.
