Was abit bored today as i have this week off work, was doing much, so decided to do a basic oil change and top up all reservoirs (the usual shizzle)

After the oil change, thought give my EK9 a quick rinse up with some washing soappppppppp :D

Pics didn't come out too bad

Nice..Sense when did you change your exhaust...Where did the twin loop go and what you have..Hard to see..Also could you take a side picture from a distance..Want to see how low she is.
 
I really want one of those! how is it?? :D :D :D

also where did you get it from (price etc...) send me a pm mate if ya dont wanna disclose it on here,

cheers
 
Fujitsubo sits real well :nice:

Other than alot more noise, have you noticed any difference in power/torque over the Mugen Twin Loop

I was thinking exactly the same thing - someone has been doing some secret modding, or I haven't been keeping up to date with your build thread! Either way she is looking good mate! :nice:

I keep debating about getting coilovers - I mean the standard suspension is by no means bad and about 80% of my driving will be on the road, so I guess its just a case of whether I can put up with the bumpiness on the motorways etc!

Anyhoo enough blabbing,

EK9 is looking really nice. Id be happy if I could get mine looking half as good.

Best sounding exhaust i have ever heard, considering i am running a Mugen Intake, the crossover note in VTEC is EPIC!!!

I swapped it with my Mugen Twinloop, if your coming to the next South Mimms meet in early December, i will take you out in my EK9 if you want???

Sits better then the Mugen, ONLY think is it stains the rear lip :( however whenever i wash it- will have to Autoglym SRP the stains :D cars gonna be OFF-ROAD soon anyway and back on the road March/April time :secret:

Performance with the RM01A is improved, it seems to rev cleaner through the mid range (can notice it!!!). Revs seem to pick up a little quick....

A few subtle mods and the EK9 is a beauty to drive :drive:

It all depends what you want frm the EK9, reason i went for coilovers is i am going to track my car a few times next year, with a track trip up north, Nurburgring, bla bla, but you can choose spring rates to match your liking, i was going to keep OEM, but seeing as i have a Peugeot 306 as a daily driver i am not fussed, and out handles OEM. why not have both OEM and coilovers or just buy coilovers with your own choice of coilovers???

The dampening adjustment is so so fun to play around with :drive:

My bumpiness isn't bad, i went with the 10kg/mm Front and 8kg/mm spring rates :nice:
