No compromise Supercharged ek9 progress thread
- Thread starter Firas
- Start date
ARP studs arrived today.
D1 spec open ended wheel nuts. They are forged so should be good enough for the road and track but ordered a set steel nuts aswell for the Nurburgring trip.
Hopefully get them fitted in the weekend along with the diffuser, bleed the brakes and replace the rear trailing arm bushes.

Keep it up! Looks great!
Thanks guys.
Been busy over the weekend with trying to get the car sorted out. Managed to get the Arp studs in, braided lines fitted, All 4 calipers bled and the new trailing arm bushes fitted. will get pics up soon.
Been wanting a set of gauges for a while. Was going to go down the spa dual gauge route built into the honda blanking plate i bought a while ago but think that it looks a bit out of place so bit the bullet and ordered a Defi- din gauge. Three gauges fitted neatly into single din size with a flat glass face with all gauges angled towards the driver (RHD) for better visibility. They are exactly what i was wanting in terms of look (oem) and quality so cant wait to get them fitted once they get here.
Look like this fitted to an ek9.

lol Cheers man. Yeh they are a pain to fit. The bolts either side of the bush were the hardest part as they wouldn't budge and breaking them would have been a disaster as they go through the chassis. Used a blow torch to burn the rubber away and came out with a few taps with a hammer. car feels much better now so took the car for a run around some b roads and so far i am impressed with the BC coilovers. Big improvement over the Teins and the dampening is pretty good as well.

That Defi bank is sexual.
cheers guys. cd player was functional before the spoon b pipe and decat but now that i cant hear it its getting ripped out altogether.
Spent the weekend detailing the car with the help of a few friends. Big thanks to ben for machine polishing the car and to greg for letting us use his garage. cheers guys
moved into the garage
Job done. then it started to rain and i had to drive it all the way to the other end of edinburgh lol. At least we got rid of the swirl marks and tar spots.
Anyone interested in reading about this build can find out more in the Fastcar mag issue out on the 1/06/2011
