Heres a quick timelime of my EJ9 so far. Not to everyones taste but its turning out alright for the budget i have.

This is how i got it, minus the wheels (was on VTI wheels).

How its currently sits, not running. Need to find a new engine loom and rear engine mount bracket, and then its done.

Not a bad turn around considering i've have it nearly 2 months now!
 
Very different from most ej9`s! Roof rack looks so USDM nice car dude!! :D
 
Thanks for the comments. Coming from the VAG world i have tried to keep that theme going, especially considering all of my wheels are Compomotive's.

If i can find a loom this week, engine will be running this weekend. Was dyno'd at 161.9bhp before being taken out of its Del Sol. Should be good for a while! Will be buying new tyres for the Mono's that i have (first couple of pictures), and spraying these gloss black and bringing the ride height up a bit as its stupidly low at the moment. Then i'll be looking for an LSD box.

Also forgot to mention, i'm trying out a 2Step unit prototype for someone, this should be up and running after the engine runs.
 
dont like those black wheels at all, looked cool on the first set though!
 
haha how did u manage to put in and take out the engine the passenger side? lookin good tho! something different

Click to expand...

They're vti wheels, only on to make the car easier to get on and off ramps. The first set are sat in my garage waiting to go on.

Engine was very hard to get in the car haha
 
After a cock up by Honda, this still isn't on the road. Aiming to have the engine out on Saturday again to finish it off.

Mean while, fitted this.
