Race Base EK9 "Progress thread"

Merk

Merk

Car  123D Coupe + MK1 MX5
Thought i'd make one of these as i've started doing a few bits and bobs to the ol' 9.

First thing I had to do was replace the "Red" H's on the front and rear as 11 years had taken their toll on the originals..

Old.

New..
(sorry not got a proper close up)

Next was a Broadway style mirror, most people get them to erradicate blind spots, but they've become a "must have" in the JDM world..

Also got a new air filter as the J's racing induction kit was starting to get a bit worn, but no new picture!

also have this little goody in the boot...

Gave the car a b**chin clean today as I won't be driving it til the end of november, paintwork still scrubs up OK considering the car was made in 1999 and I dont have a clue on how to detail properly!

Next on the list: Clear side repeaters, carbon spoiler and wing mirrors!

Thanks for looking.
 
Not got any just now i'm afraid and not going to be able to get anymore for another week or so as i'm away with work!!
 
15" Rotard slipstreams! However I fancy a set of BBS RS's come november time when i'm driving it again!
 
Pitty its gonny miss the. Summer pal. I'll give you my address and you can bluey me :D
 
LOL yeah man, but don't worry i'll have e-mail that i'll use to keep in touch innit, and every now and then probably be able to get on the ol' facebook!
 
Do I see this car at work? Glasgow way? If it's not yours, it must be a very similar plate!
 
Something inside me actually loves it more than Dolan yo's RS.

Why does the basicness put me off! :(

I love it!

Miss your face!
 
The basicness puts you off because you're a gay.

The more hardcore the better.

Needs red Pole Positions and an NSX-R wheel though! Get on it! ;)

I think you're right. :(

People could confuse you with me and therefore you are also gay.

I agree keep the orange repeaters.

Can you straighten the plate at the front up?

The sound is orgasmic!
 
I can vouch personally that i have never, ever been in a FWD car that goes round corners like this, and ive been in a few hot/rapid motors over the years.

Its looking stunning mate, when did you get that private plate ya pervert?x
 
He had it at the meat ya perverted spooner.

I love it, Dean's was sc'd wasn't it?
 
185bhp standard in a car like that is ridiculous!

sc'd that's just plain silly! :o
 
Cheers for the comments guys.

Gally, the plate is on straight, was thinking that myself when I looked at the pictures, looks a bit off but it's on straight..Miss your face also!

Danny, had the plate since last year, just took a few weeks to get it off the fn2 and onto the ek9, courtesy of my awesome Mrs!!

I didn't fit it mate no, gonna get another one though for the passenger, not cheap though! Have another pic from the side in my original thread on the car mate.
 
Been a while since i've put some more update pictures, for those that are interested, not gone into depth QUITE as much as Henry/Firas, but my EK has wanted for next to nothing, so everything that's been done is purely me being an idiot and spending money on it, plus I like pic whoring...

Anyway, some s**te I got for it not too long ago....

Blox, seem to be getting mixed reviews from various people online, but from what I can gather it's pretty much the exact same products as Skunk2, anyway, those are forged aluminum wheel nuts...

J's Racing intake off.. This thing is huge, as you can see from the size of my hand next to it, but it's only good during cold weather, at the minute with this heat we're getting, it's suffering from heat soak REALLY badly... So standard airbox is back in, with..

Pic of the wheel nuts against the black rotards.

Rear Lower tie bar (cheers Henry ;) )

Car fitted with new brakes a few weeks back, Accord Type R Discs, project Mu pads, these things can STOP a sub 1000kg car quite easily..

And my new favourite part...

CF EK9 Spoiler..

these pics are just me whoring after a good clean =]

Also smoothed of the number plate recess too, normally has two little "pins/brackets" sticking up for the plate to sit in, along with some weird holes at the top and behind the plate, assuming it was for jap plates to sit in... looks much cleaner now IMO.

f**king love the car you sexy marine core spooner!

That org sticker is s**t though!

First refusal to me when selling! ;)
 
Awesome.

Yeah, the little plate retainers are for the Japanese plates to sit in, since they're only fixed at the top.
