I thought I'd start a thread showing these two. The fiesta I've had for four years now and it's currently undergoing a major transformation (more on this later) and the ek9 I picked up last week as a fun toy to keep me entertained while the fiesta is in bits still.
The civic was almost perfect bodywork wise - only a couple of tiny, nearly invisible, dents and a little laquer peel on the roof. Mechanically, I've had to sort a couple of issues already. The two inner CV boots didn't survive the 6 hour drive home. I also had to replace the front ARB bushes and the battery, but that was no bother!
Worst bit was the Gaz coilovers that the previous owner fitted. They'd run the car pretty much sat on the deck, scraping all the underside in the process. One section of exhaust is nearly battered flat!
It's back on stock ek9 shocks now, and in my opinion, handling much better for it on the road.
Couple of pics then (I will add some more shortly)
Ride height before:
And after:
I've got a bit of a to-do list for it, I have a bit of a busy spell coming up with work, but once that's out the way I'll crack on with both cars again.
I'll be making a new exhaust for it, along with the air intake and then tuning by Will @ RDT
I'll follow this up with pics of the fiesta later on
