jon5698 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 It is nippy for a 1.6 N/A but it could do with boosting ;) there is not much there until you hit about 6200rpm then all hell breaks loose until about 8600rpm lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Just won a set of S2000 alloys on ebay for the bargin price of £20 with tyres only problem now is i need to find another set because i can only use the fronts because the rears are 7.5j wide ;) the bonus is they are only 12 mile from where i live, plus there is another set in manchester so i will have a bid on them as i am always working in manchester at least once a week.

Idrees Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Haha nice one man, get some pictures of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Here you go mate, they need refurbing as they are corroding a bit but there is no curb damage ;) if they fit they will be going Takata green, if they dont fit they will just be getting sold on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That will look awsome!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Went and picked the alloys up yesterday, the rears deffo dont fit lol. I am after another set to get the fronts off them. The tyres will be changed for a smaller proifile and the wheels will be painted. The ek9 is an amazing car but it is by no means perfect and does need modding a lot to get the best from it, these alloys are only going to be for shows anyway the standard ones will be on the car most of the time and i wouldn't say enkei alloys were shit.

Galliano Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 is it me thinking you payed jim a visit and they are S2000 alloys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 SO why are there tuning parts available for them? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Not a fan of them sorry.The EK9 was built to be a hardcore track car by Honda designers and engineers. Clearly you know more than them by having to change things.The only EK9 which was built to be a hardcore track car was the race base model which come without the all of the comforts eg the recaros aircon ect. I dont claim to know more than them but if the ek9 was perfect from the factory then why do companies such as spoon, mugen, toda, 5zigen, ect make aftermarket products for it? surely it would be pointless. And i am deffo not putting the wheels on, and Galliano i have no idea who Jim is and yeah they are s2k alloys. Oh and the car should finally be on the road by monday/tuesday depending if the dvla pull their fingers out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seed Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 How is this compared to 4efte? Which is faster? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 How is this compared to 4efte? Which is faster?Compared to a standard 4efte the civic will eat it, but if you get a 4efte with about 160-170bhp i would say they would leave the civic purely because of how much extra torque the gt will have.

Callan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 wow i didnt know type rs are 5 stud,looks CLEAN man,hows your white gt coming along?bte your old black gt now lives by me and is owned by a cap wearing limiter boucing chav:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lad who bought it off me phoned me up a few weeks ago because he cut through the abs wires trying to fit an hks fcd he wanted to know where the ecu was, it has just been mapped and is running 180bhp now. I wish i hadn't sold the car when i did i could have been still driving it until now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
