Whichever has fuel
I've posted the car up before in the JDM thread but it's here if you want to see it.

Great! Me and the missus are looking to get an ek9 in about a years time, once our house is built... GARAGE FTW. and thats pretty much how i want the outside to look. sc'd k20 block, standard...ish
interior. Sorry for the hijack. car is minty fresh
Not much to update in terms of progress other than it's getting driven. One piece of s**t double din JDM head unit (which weighed a ton) is out and my Alpine in. Started ordering service bits in to give the car a good going over next month, replacing all the filters and fluids, coolant and a fresh stat and have a set of spoon magnetic drain bungs for the engine and gearbox on the way too.
Some stickers arrived this week too, no doubt Turner will give his opinion on where to locate them.
At some point once it's been detailed I'll get some some decent pics of the car up. Should have removed the rear foglight by then too. I'm pretty much decided this car is going to get tucked away over the winter to protect it from the salt, having poked around underneath it on a ramp for the first time properly today it's stupidly clean underneath and I don't want to ruin it by running it in the winter regardless of getting it undersealed.

Couple more arrivals today.
New bonnet and boot badges to replace the slightly pink 12 year old efforts on the car.
And "overnight parts from Japan" Spoon magnetic sump bungs ready for when I service it in the next few weeks.
The likes of Gally will be glad to hear I've bought myself a foam lance ready for when the cars been detailed to keep the car as swirl free as possible.

Trust me you can see the swirls/marring in the paint in direct sunlight and under streetlights. Ok it's not as obvious as it would be on your car but it's still irritating so it will be getting properly corrected.
I'm either going to repaint the wiper arms or replace them as they look a little tired too, I've already fitted the Bosch Aero blade style wipers which has made it look smarter already not to mention clearing the screen a f**k sight better.
It's on Tein flex with the EDFC kit (I need to connect the rear solenoids up to get it working though)
If you've not heard of EDFC shitty video to give you the idea.

Try owning a black car. Swirls just appear by themselves.
LOL cheers dude, but it's already going to s**t! Stupid oily marks (water under the lacquer, from stone chips apparently) are back, and it's swirled already. Plus I still don't bother washing it.
White's just as bad if you're not cleaning it though, it's bad enough having white wheels, yet alone a whole car!

Nice refreshing bits!
Spoon stickers need to be located in the standard locations.

Small 'Crane' on the bootlid and small 'Type One' on the front bumper.
Door 'Spoon' jobbies if you fancy them. I don't think I'd bother. They look a bit try hard, IMO.

Bingo, yeah.
Yeah, had a decent run in it again the other day after being stuck commuting and with the poor weather and it really does put a smile on your face when you get a chance to wind it up in the revs. The driving position is so much better than the Clio's as much as it didn't bother me as much as some people on here at the time.
Yup firmness only, the other benefit of the suspension set up on the EK is you can adjust ride height (mechanically obviously) without effecting the preload like you would on the Clio.
That's still very smart tech. Adjusting from inside the car is a superb thing to have. I know I sound like a noob but really hadn't heard of stuff like this fitted to older cars. Maybe magnectic dampers on TT's ect.. Or track cars with expensive suspension but not something like this.
Nice mate. I know most adjustable suspension kits you do the height and firmness by hand so it's rather cool.
Big difference between settings?
