mustve had a rock or something under there
Take my Ek1 to the Brisbane city council rubbish tips, found out my car with 1/4 of fuel left, weight roughly under 1100kg without me in it. With all the add on mods the car carry, I am surprise still weight under 1100kg.

What mods are on your car to weigh 1100? Gli or cxi?

I've always wondered, dafaq are those holes around the handbrake for? inb4 commo power window conversion.
What mods are on your car to weigh 1100? Gli or cxi?
Ek cxi
Jap spec B18c TypeR engine with 4.7FD LSD Gear box
Rx7 Fc front brake calipers conversion with 282mm brake rotors
Dc2R rear brake calipers conversion with 262mm brake rotors
Ek9 front strut brace
aircorn
recaro sr3 x2
Top fuel air intake,
Whiteline front and rear sway bars + rear subframe brace
15" aftermarket rims weight about 5.9kg each.
I think that all, rest of the mods, I don't think going to make any difference for the weight of the car.
Ps I haven't strip the car at all. The car still got the rear seat, all the carpets, Heavy rear parcel tray, spare tyre......etc.

Put a CD player in and while I was doing that discovered that there was a aftermarket alarm.
I had no remotes or key to disable the siren so it started going off as soon as I unplugged it.
Had to scramble to unbolt the siren and dunk it in a bucket of water to shut it up haha

Yeah mate full respray.
Roof and bonnet reprimed, dents removed, trims removed and painted.
Inside doors and under bonnet painted also.
I was going to do a engine swap then respray it(clear coat turned to sh#t which happens with all super sonic blue paint)
How ever it got side swiped so did the painting bit first
So insurance for one side $300 and the rest for $2500.
My mate does alot of work for me and I send a few people to him
So he looks after me ;-)
Lol want some work done ehh

Best username or sure! (I.e Honda) Buy it off ya? Lol
I'm going to install my new exhaust system tomorrow. The final piece arrived today. Spoon 4-2-1.
22889
This cost me $911 delivered from Japan. It is second hand but only used for a short time. Short enough for a small dent to be made though :/ but I saved about $400 off RRP so it's ok.
22890
22891
The rest of the system is made up of a brand new EK9 cat and a second hand fujitsubo RM01A catback. The RM01A was also only used for a short time. Cost me $960 delivered. The drawback was that the B-pipe section had to be cut in half to ship on Japans Postal service (EMS). Bummer.
22892
22893
22894
Going to HiTech Mufflers in the morning tomorrow. They will hopefully reweld the B-Pipe and fit the rest up. Will post back tomorrow hopefully with a photo and a video for sound :)
Car is an EK4 btw

AndreaCivic
13-09-2012, 05:55 PM
Thanks Lan :)
The installation went well yesterday. Unfortunately I was busy rushing around all day and night so couldn't get a recording of the sound.
First impressions were good. There wasn't any noticeable difference in sound on start up. But slowly creep away from a stand still and a nice deep note comes out :D
It progressively gets louder through the rev range but just before VTec the sound almost completely goes? Strange. Then Vtec engages and it's ok (a little fart can kind of sound) but it didn't blow me away.
I wanted the RM01A because I heard it was loud but it actually wasn't. And I wasn't blown away.
But anyway I'm happy overall which is the main thing.
Then something bad happened in Balmain. On the way home last night I went over a speed bump and heard what sounded like the header bottoming out :(
Then almost every second speed bump it felt like it was bottoming out :(
Checked this morning and yep it's been scraping. :(

Hmm yeah at the moment I'm just not driving it. Bash plate could be an option if I need to drive it as a daily again.
Heard the BC was really loud! Mine is loud enough for now but maybe one day, would love to race my car and a spec 2 would be awes for a race car.

Took your advice and raised car about 12mm at the front. This is as high as my skunk2 pro s 2 coils would go. The rears were also at their limit. I thought it was a good compromise.

Very excited now, Booked my Dyno tune at Revzone at end of November, turbo kit is all done minus the dump which is gonna b custom made prior to the dyno tune day :D
Im hoping the power figures be a conservative 120 - 130kw, an maybe 140 if the tuner says its safe to do so
Ahh good job man, you gotta take me for a spin once its all done! I wanna feel what a boosted D16Y8 will be like, may consider it for my ej when i get fulls.
good job bro... finally sum1 pulled it off hahaha, was it hard at all? and hows the projection lighting at nite?
And thanks man it wasnt too hard, just pretty hard taking of the lense and stuff other then that assembling it is all good. The gay thing is that there is only one H1 Bi-xenon HID avaliable and thats from where i purchased my projectors (The Retrofit Source) and bloody expensive!.
Also the projection is perfect, no scatter or blinding oncoming traffic and sharp cut off :)

What's your build thread under wouldn't mind susing out your turbo kit lol
Nice mate what ya use and how long it take lol
used tyre pen, you can buy it at autobarn, took (just for that part) about 20min lol, you might have to take the wheels off to do it as the paint doesn't come out when the wheel is on. don't know if l would white "bridgestone" or not

ahhh never bothered putting one up haha... but its just a kit i pieced together with a few custom one off parts, ebay was out of the question, an greddy/apexi/edlebrock kit was hard to come by, so custom kit is the only option :)

But how long does it last??? cant imagine the white paint lasting very long :/

Not really what i did today, but plastidipped the pods in the front bar where the foglights go (dont know what their called?) matte black to break up the blue abit.

You do realise you need the heater box & all other associated motors to make it work right?
This. single din is analogue climate control. double din is digital. Have to change everything from looms to ducts (vents are in different location, so the ducts wont line up to the vents) and heater core ect.
Unless you race car, and dont need radio ect and have heater core and ac removed.

better off changing the loom

i knows, just wondering what he meant by "vents are in different location"
i knows, just wondering what he meant by "vents are in different location"
iirc the ducting inside the dash will not meat up with the vents, if you look at a pic of a manual one you can see they are in different locations
i knows, just wondering what he meant by "vents are in different location"
On double din, the holes in the console where the air comes out is to the left more.
And I meant to say you had to change the white ducts/vents that direct the air from heater box to the vents. Then I realised that those white ducts are already apart of the heater box. So changing to the digital heater box will also change the ducts.
Heater box with white ducts:

Single din vs double, look at placement of vents.

haha i like the mugen lip =D i dunno type R lips are so common now a days, most facelift ek's now a days ALL look the same lol
When did you do the retrofit? Was it hard?
I got the mini H1 projectors of TRS (The Retrofit Source) for about $150 shipped. And difficulty wise, wasn't that hard, if you know how to DIY Black housings then you'll know how to do this. Its just a matter of pulling it apart, unscrewing the old lense out and fitting the projector and putting all seals in properly. Took me about 2-3 hours to do. Results paid off tho =D
Went to Brighton beach and done a quick photoshoot, couple days ago, retros looks good =)

Redone my guards and removed the shitload of orange peel on my guards and gave it a nice cut and polish using Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. Turned out amazing!
Before (Notice how dull the guards are)

Ahh well actually i used spray gun for my colour code and canned my clear (which was a bad idea hence gave shitloads of orange peel but mehh i was really tight on cash back then lol) but if you sand it back and use like appropriate cutting compound and polish, it will give out the same result :)
But yeah just as long as you make sure its smooth as hell before you cut and polish (if you plan on to) if you want that glossy shine :)
