Owned this for 2 months now. spent lots n im abit disapointed now. i brought it as i missd my last ek but it doesnt seem the same as i rememberd. unsure what to do. dunno wether to crack on, spend more money on it and get it done. or sell up and get a glanza which I've fancyd for 2 and ahalf years lol. anyway we had a lil photoshoot the othernite so will post them up when im home. c&c welcome

So heres some better pics, (im rubbish for taking pics so my best ones are stil shite carnt belive how different it looks in such a short period of ownership, looks/drive like a total differnt car :w00t: by the way sticker on the bonnet is DEFINATLY coming off lol Also put some skateboard grip tape on my pedals, works a treat and is cheap as fark :idea:

so abit of an update, I booked a week off from work before a sprint day i was going to so i could get all the bits put on the car and fine tune them while at the day...That didnt go to plan started on the monday and the car didnt have 4 wheels back on the ground til the following monday started at the front and EVERY bolt eaither snapped or was rounded by rust. after 3 days (yes 3 days) working on the front end i managed to get to the back (which i was dreading if it was anything like the front) to my supprise every bolt on the back came out without any probs at all :dance: but then we had probs getting the right brake hoses :frustrate and ended up getting some off a MG of all things anyway cut along story (7 days long story lol) I couldnt have done everything without Jake coming and lending a hand, so thanks dude :matrix: . after we where finnishd bolting everything back up, was time to bleed the brakes, bled them all, took it out for a test run....pedal to the floor...bugger.. jake had gone home by now so i was by myself, so re bled them and tryed again, nope, so then re bled them and tryed again...abit better. so one last time and was abit more to what i expected without changeing the prob valve or MC. anyway heres some pics Things that have been changed- EK9 Hubs EK9 Calipers (all freshly rebuilt) EK9 H/Brake cables DC2 wheels sprayed Renault (booo) Tuncsten grey Blueprint Discs Front/Rear Blueprint Pads Front/Rear new Ball joints new Wheel bearings new Front upper arms new Front lower arms new Drop links new Track rod ends Cyberspeed lca's MeisterR Zeta R coilovers Energy suspension RTA bush Totaly stripd bar the carpet No Sound deadening Private number plate on. Carbon Spoiler and bonnet will be added today aswell so will add pics abit later. thinking of spraying the interior (and engine bay when engines out) a differnt colour not sure what yet maybe champ white or a more in your face purple, not sure im off to a friends garage now to borrow his ramp so i can drill out a snapped bolt on the anti roll bar bush frame (doh) then everything is done and can crack on with the engine will get proper pics up asap

Well here I am FINALY doing what i knew i should have done a year ago always wanted a ek9 but never been able to own one due to being poor lol beggining of this month i had 3 projects. sold them all and done what i wanted, buy a reaaaly basic civic and re do everything it lacks. so set out to find a VSM or black ej9 or ek3 no joy, lookd at a few and they were all to much and mega scratty. then i found this lil ssb ej9, 98k, 2 owners, Non sunroof, non elecy windows, No rot other than slight on rear of both back arches but nothing realy. So im setting out with the intension of turning it into a well balanced car that i can use everyday but still go to weekend sprints and trackdays. Things I've brought so far are- Meister R Zeta R coilovers Buddyclub Red/Grey bucket seat B16a2 engine Ek9 Hub swap. Things i need to get next are- LCA's, SuperLow seat rail, Totaly overhaul hubs, B series alternator (as engine is missing one) Get engine in and running. Coilovers and seat are in the post as we speak Engine im picking up tomoz Hubs i should be getting next weekend. C&C welcome So, I've been a busy git getting parts togeather but sadly havent fitted anything yet gunna wait till I've got all the suspention orientated stuff togeather then put it all on as one job lot, saves having to keep adding bits on every weekend. so heres some pics of the things I've aquired in the last week. B16A2 Curently in bits, just need a Flywheel, Driveshafts, Engine mounts and Starter motor and im good to go, Bar things like water pump, cambelt kit, engine/gearbox oil, new clutch ect ect Loom (AKA scary tangled mess) anyone know if i can use this ECU as it is? or will it need a basemap and socketing? its a P30 and has ASH on the side? Now to my fav buys Zeta R's why do i have a set of 5 stud wheels hmm? lol Picking these up tomoz At work I've orderd new pads and discs all round and they are waiting there til i get paid again lol. Had to get some front calipers and carriers as you can see in the pics the front hubs dont have any. so searched around for a few days and got some fronts aswell Going to get both front and rear calipers recond at my work next week so all should be working shweet. Its amazing how much stuff I've brought/fetched in a week when 5 of those days I've been working so far spent over 2k :shock: and I've spent my months wages within 3 hours of getting paid....need to calm down but i carnt lol

You can agree with me though that its a form of motorsport recognised or not

As it says above any form of motorsport bud. so yes drifting is a form or motorsport...

Hi Guys, So Me and afew guys have decided to start a low budget forum that is predominantly for info on up coming trackdays/events and advice/help for anyone and everyone looking to get into trackdays or other forms of motorsport, from total noobs to circuit pro's looking to share/swap ideas and tricks It is a very low budget forum (COUGH free COUGH) and will only be upgraded if there is enough interest and use. I am currently adding how to guides to the forum and will be doing a full walkthrough and b16/18 teardown and install. So if your interested in having a lurk about or posting a few posts hopefully we will be able to get some events, competitions and prizes going. There will be a free BBQ in the summer but no date is set yet, will be posted up when everything is set.
