Will be doing behind front and rear bumpers this weekend.
i used hammerite paint, thought it would looker a lot cleaner them underseal.

Also clean engine bay up. Will be carrying on with this ready for japfest. Will remove most things to make sure I get as much dirt as I can out.

Also friend of mine was working on his 96 spec jdm dc2 ( lost the picstures) :(

picturs of engine bay will be uploaded this weekend :)

On the Sunday I booked it in at a friends detailing company for a full detail.
The car was off the road for about 3 years. You could tell by the paint work. Lots of black marks and lots lots of swirls.
6 hours later, Very pleased with how the 9 came out, he did a awesome job! Paint work now swirl free and clean once again. :).
Also ordered some new civic type r badges.

The car is booked in on the 1st of may for a couple of parts to be re-sprayed, front bumper, wheels, rear spliter and quater panel. ( paint chips around the petrol cap :( ). To be blended in to the door, just hope it's a good match. Trying to get the paint ready for japfest!
Spoon manifold.
Spoon springs.
Spoon shocks. ( plus set up)
Spoon final drive.
Spoon breaks.
Spoon strut braces and X bar.
Wheels. I can't decided at the moment so leaving OEM wheels on for now.
Thing spoon or rays t37's?
Hondata s300
Toda or spoon cams.
Will look in to changing engine mounts,
Drive shafts.
Polly push all bushes.
Later on in the year I will look at purchasing ITB's.

Hi guys.


A update is way over due, a lot has happened in 4 months of me owning the ek9. I was planning on doing a K swap next year but few plans have changed well I will let the pictures do the talking :).


The week before japfest I was realy busy with work and didn't have enough time to get the wheels done, So I attempted them myself.
they match was really good to fair. cant grumble :)






also I was on track at japfest, very happy with the 9 was going really well, was running standard suspension then but really happy, cracking day on track :) few pictures






after japfest I purchased a Hondata s300, was ready for mapping but again work let me down :(

so on the Saturday and sunday I was fitting my new inlet (dc2 inlet b18c) also wire tucking the bay.

next step was removing the power steering and air con. noticed the difference without pulleys. also fitting a non power steering rack.


all removed

next was some new rubber :D. loving the feeling of fresh tyres :)


next was restore headlights, really happy how well they came up.




Then on the sunday we went for a drive with s2ki owners, Friend of mine in the dc5 (dan) we where owning the evo triangle had a really good day :)



then got myself a AEM v2 and japspeed heat wrapped manifold, huge difference in power and response, was really happy.



next on the list was some innovative engine mounts, got myself the soild race red ones, all I can say is they where soild, hole dash was trying to jump out of the car! ha, again thou notice the difference. :) ( not a nice sound a 6 o'clock in the morning thou) ha




now to the BIG update. after a long think and choosing to move plans forward I made to big jump and decided to k swap the 9!!
Spec list so far
k20a engine with OEM dc5 engine wiring, new alternator, P/S pump, A/C pump, new head gasket, timing chain, spark plugs, one of the spark plug threads was damaged so tdi rebuilt the head. engine has covered 60000 kilometres before head rebuild.
hondata thermal gasket
new clutch k series OEM
ep3 gearbox with wave track diff (rebuilt)
new OEM clutch slave cylinder
TDI north custom centre section
hybrid racing k swap shifter box
" " uprated shifter cables
" " engine mounts
" " drive shafts
" " k swap harness
tegiwa k swap manifold
dc2 subframe
k tuned fuel rail
new oem 440 cc oem injectors
braided fuel lines + clutch line
walbro fuel pump
tegiwa k swap rad and hoses
All engine hose are samco
k swap throttle cable
AEM fuel regulator





mostly stripped down



few little goodies
k tuned k swap harness


dc5 clocks cant wait to fit them


still need a few parts but most of it is all there, one part I did miss out was inlet, When I got the engine the RRC was sold and there was a ep3 inlet fitted,
now the plan was the throttle body the b16b, so instead of buying a RRC or PRC inlet, I going to throttle body the k20 :D. I've had itbs on my previous cars, I love the sound and they look the nuts in the engine bay.

So guys that's a really quick overview of what's happening, more updates and pictures tomorrow. tomorrows job is smoothing the engine bay, weld up all the holes I don't need anymore then the 9 will be off the to the body shop for the bay to painted. :)

hope you enjoy. ( no pics of k swap parts yet, Not all of them are with me at the moment some are still on the way from USA. :(

Thanks again parry :)
