Ah right cheers i can see it now in the pic above. yeh the NRG kit is brilliant and very well made but not cheap. I got the gen 2.5 kit for the ek but i think yours is the 3 generation one, which is the newest one they brought out. The paddles at the side make it look like a sequential lol...
great updates mate. Good choice of coilovers and Intake. Also love the NRG set up ;)
Quick question aswell dude in regards to your intake set up. How did you get rid of the air mass meter?
Thanks guys.
Richy- I will be back in a few weeks time mate so will give you a txt mate. was back in the weekend for a short while but was busy taking the exhaust system apart so completely forgot to give you a buzz.
The bolts were pretty much welded together so took a while to take them...
The magnex actually looks quite good there. I have heard one upclose before and they sound decent aswell. I would still change it for an N1 though. I just fitted my n1 with a spoon b pipe (baffles removed) along with a resonated 2.5" decat on saturday and it sounds insane. Probably a bit extreme...
Cheers again for the kind comments :).
Once its back on the road and mapped it will be getting tracked. It wont be a dedicated track car but would love to get on a few track days next year and maybe a trip to the ring in the summer.
Thanks ali :)
tbh even a standard ek9 is overkill for the...
Thanks again guys for the positive comments. :)
Yeh just had a quick look again and he isnt running any spacers but they are et 35 which explains the poke. This has made me even more gutted about missing out on the ones that went on ebay last week lol.
cheers gally. yeh the b pipe should...
oh yeh remember seeing that in the summer. looks stunning and is one of my favourite ek's on the forum. Love the backyard special bumpers but just a shame they are unjustifiably expensive. hmm I think that they are spaced but just a wide offset. Does sit nicely though on those reggas though.
cant remember seeing that ek Si. do you remember what the guys user name is? oem ek9 enkei's are et 50. Most reggas in ek9 fitment are 45 or 42. i have 42's and i need around 5mm spacers to clear the spoon calipers. the set i missed out on were 35 offset so would have been perfect.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Si- Im still not 100% sure about the tilt brackets yet but i thought i would try them to see what they would look like with the diffuser on the lowest setting. Im only after maybe 10-20 degrees of tilt if that. I hate the air brake look aswell.
Chris- The wheels...
Appreciated Gaz :)
Update
Got the recaro extra low rails meaning i could finally fit the seats.
Originally i bought a tomi makinin edition recaro to go in the passenger side but when a brand new jdm ep3 seat came up i bought that and decided to use it instead and just sell the tomi...
yeh deserves to be an ek9 tbh. Surprised its not with the amount of money spent on it and yeh turkish its a j's tilt bracket that has been cut down slightly. i like the subtle tilt tbh. Not a fan of the crazy tilt where the car looks like its about to take off though.
Best colour imo for any type r. yeh im sure i saw the one dunx was selling. was that not featured in a mag at some point? Dunx has imported a fair few ek9's over the years and most have been mint examples tbh. yeh always good to have another set of eyes check the car out but generally these cars...
Cheers rich. I was back the whole of last week but im back in Edinburgh now. Got exams coming up in the next few weeks so just trying to prepare for them atm. Will hopefully be back in Dundee, in a few weeks time though so will give you a shout when im through there mate. how you getting on with...
Cheers stevie. See you've got yourself an eg4 now aswell mate. Have you started on the h22b conversion yet?
Turkish- Its Japfest, which i think is sometime in mid may at Castle Combe. Hopefully im done with my exams by then as i have always wanted to go.
Faded honda badges are certainly not a...
Ordered a rear diffuser yesterday. Always loved the aggressive time attack look and should complement the look of the arc winglets on the front bumper too. Will be a hit or miss if it gives any improvement in aerodynamics as its not getting tested obviously but as a diffuser it should reduce at...
looks great pal. Not worth selling up imo. you can get a decent ep3 now for less than £3.5k and with the amount of work you have put into this one i would keep it and stick a k24 in it.
yeh most of the eg's and even ek's that i have saw in the uk suffer from rust eating away at the rear quarters. This is due to a fault with the way the water drains. His being an sir, is an import and i dont think it has been in the country that long and thats probably one of the reasons its...
yeh true but he did pay top dollar for it. more than what i would have been prepared to pay anyway. yeh they are great wee cars. Lighter than ek's and handle really well too.
Nice eg fella. One of my mates just bought a mint eg6 siR. Very cool cars imo. He didnt like the lenso's so he sold them on and now has a set of enkeis on it. Also that ek9 looks identical to another mate of mines lol. shame the guy wrote it off as it looks like a nice example.
sorry...
