How many volts is that machine? Does it remove or lessen swirls?

[mattsrea]

How many volts is that machine? Does it remove or lessen swirls?

It is 125 Watt thats all i know. And it should be able to remove/lessen swirls if you use the right paste, i will recommend Meguairs Scratch X, it will remove swirls and light scratches.

Wow looks really good, I would like to learn a few techniques off you! I sprayed my front bumper then sanded it back smoothly, then clear coated it and sanded that back until smooth ( I used like 1500 ). I then proceeded to polish by hand but it doesn't come out as shiny as yours, are there any other steps?

Thanks um imo i reckon you would need to sand 1500 and then 2000 and if possible get 2500. I found 2500 gritt sandpaper at an auto paint shop to finish the sanding process off before i applied cut and polish. So yeah you would need cutting compound and then polish, i recommend meguiars for cut and polish. I tried using 2 different cutting compound and does not work as good as meguiars. It may be abit pricey but trust me its definately worth it.
Also buffing by hand is no where near as good as buffing by machine unless you really wanna give your muscles a good work out lol

very nice setup, i also wanted to install an ASR to the ek9, but it doesnt fit :( the holes for the sway bar on the EK9 don't line up like an ordinary EK1-4 does, complete fail and wasted money!
wanted it just for looks, i know some people say i don't need one, as the EK9 is already re-in-forced, but i do like the look of it

what my engine bay looked like,

until i installed the K&N FIPK on the car,
honestly, it's gotta be one of the best performance mod i've ever had on any of my car's,
quality of this certain product is amazing and it changed my car's characteristics and the way it sounded. i'm still smiling, thats how good it is!

http://s5.postimage.org/h3o237kyf/IMG_0065_1.jpg
http://s5.postimage.org/uw2gyubpz/IMG_0064_1.jpg

i'll post up pictures of the actual engine bay tomorow!

(ohh also installed a viper alarm system, no more stupid keys to open the dam doors!)

[ekx105]

It looks like its just mounted incorrectly.. like you've used the wrong hole for the bolt/screw. But ive never seen an ASR installed without the sway bar???

[PHO]

EK9's rear subframe was reinforced from factory. So the subframe is different to the ek1/4. ASR braces are made for non reinforced subframes, ie ek1-4. It wont fit on an EK9

[Spoon-Accord]

There no other way to fit it, those pictures are from ek9.org found that site after I bought the bar!

perfectly legal in vic, as its fine to have one induction modification :D

as long as the filter isnt oiled, which it appears to not be than its cool with the police

an for those who wanna cruise an meetup in vic, now is the worse time to do it lol... police blitz is on the way, time to lock up the car an take public transport haha

[stndrd]

Also if the pod/intake pipe is not secure you can get defected

[mattsrea]

really? I always thought an exposed filter would be illegal in VIC hmm.

[stndrd]

No its not. As stated above your are allowed one intake moficiation before you require engineers cert

[mattsrea]

Ah thanks for clearing that up with me

[eLtrix]

Matts you gotta polish me car one day :P

[mattsrea]

ahahah dude man im still a beginner! lol theres still some imperfections on the guards but its not that noticeable lol. Its mainly on the sides because i cbf taking the guards, bumper and all that out lol. Overall its a BIG improvement from before. Before was like a finished product with lots and lots of orange peel.

Thanks for that, will be getting a buffing machine soon. Did you clear coat it and sand it at all?

[mattsrea]

Thanks for that, will be getting a buffing machine soon. Did you clear coat it and sand it at all?

No worries buddy. Yeah i gave it 3-5 coats of clear (first coat being pretty light, last coat being pretty thick but not running) and then gave it a day to fully cure then i sanded it.

Got a wheel alignment and took RHS tail light out to see why it kept going out, only to lose a screw somewhere inside the body forever. -.-

Fitted up a blitz sandwhich plate with sensors, start it up first time, its not leaking, but oil temp not working, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Than i decide to take off the plate an redo the sensor as i think i didnt put it in properly... put it back in.... start it up, its fine but started leaking a bit, im thinking it must be cause i didnt put plumbers tape back on the threads to stop the leak wen i put the sensor back in the plate.. Fuuuuuuuuuuu

3rd time, take the plate off, redo everything properly, start it up and leaks more FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKK.................

Shattered!!! first time was spot on, maybe because i didnt fit the o-ring one the sandwich plate properly??? ill have to recheck 2morrw... fukkn drainer!

So was bored at work today, holden didn't have any more cars for me to work on, and it was a nice day, so i decided to renew my faded and lightly scratched visors.

Wet sanding from 200 to 2000. Then using some 3M perfect-it to get rid of sanding marks and restore shine and colour.

Left was before, right was after. Was stupid, but i really wanted to see the result, so i skipped to the 3m half way. Ended up resanding it all so the finish was even. Haha

Can even see your reflection in it now! (right at the top of the visor in the pic of right side, can see some reflection) Reflection isn't clear, but its there :P

DIY mattsrea!

nooo i have no idea how to do it properly and i don't want any paint chips sadly ): Found some guys on firesport and theres one guy that does it for 30 a corner but sounds too good to be true since DT Panels does it for 70.

Inb4 chopped tyres.
LOL no!

hahaha is it? I'm on 15x7 +25 running on 205/50 Ku31s. My fronts seem okay only scrubs when i do full lock but my rears is like scrub every bump even though i raised the rears so it sits about 2.3" from factory

[eeko]

This was purchased

Guards were rolled and now just a slight touch of scrubbing.. nothing affecting driveability though

End specs are 16x7 +17 with a 205 45 16 Toyo Proxes 4's which have thick sidewalls.

I'll upload proper picture of the fitment on sunday.

Will take one tomorrow. Um none at front and 1 on rear (or maybe 2 gotta double check). Everytime i get onto driveway all i hear is the tyres screeeching onto my guards ><" Luckily i have that rubber thing that sits on the guards...

[eeko]

20mm?

nice fitment man, so much for slamming it ay... AHAHHA.. GL with the drive way, i had to resort to raising mine cause i finally caved in with the cat back sitting too low on max lowered ride height :/

With mine sitting on lowest setting on the coilover i only had about 40mm clearance to the floor with the cat back LOL

Im surprised u didnt go 16's, 16's jus look that much better on any coupe :P

ahahaha actually suprisingly since i raised the rears abit up, i could make it up the driveway without scraping my cat that much now (Y) only scraping my lip alot lol. But yeah yours was really low ahaha i think my lowest was about 80mm since it was only abit shorter in length to my galaxy s2 and their like 110mm.

And i was thinking of going 16s but then again you dont get as much variety as you do with 15s, more choices and options if you get what i mean :) And 15s isn't too bad when you see it everyday, you'll grow into them man.

Nice man what are they rota grids 15x8s? Did you also roll your guards?

[EKVTIR-T]

naice kenny


although I dislike rota,they look good on your car

Yea their Grids Classics. Never ended up getting a hand on a set of nice used wheels in the size i wanted so i had to get them new.
16x8 +20 with pumped guards

Ahh nice, is there a difference between pumped guards and rolled guards? I'm not familiar with all this rolling guards/flaring guards/pumping guards stuff. And where'd you get them pumped and how much? If it prevents scrubbing then i may need them lol

[viinnh]

roll is roll the lip
pump is pumping it after rolling it to "pump the guards out"
lipping is when you bend the lip outwards a bit after rolling
http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/420797_4169502609427_58196076_n.jpg

Yeah yeah i see it charles thanks man now i dunno whether to just roll the guards or pump them abit. Poking out by 0.5-1cm havent really measured properly but typically on 15x7 et 25 you would just typically roll them right?

Is it necessary for camber kit though? I thought camber was only needed on 8inch?

[TOm.C]

without camber kit i would of had to pull the guards about 1-2cms to fit, tyres are too fat :(

Not really? O.O thats a massive gap, i'm sitting flush on my front unrolled and i only scrub when i do hard turns or go over a bump fast. As for the rears, i'll be getting them rolled tomorrow and going to drop it and see how it goes. I'll let you know, might even have to pump mine, i just wanna avoid a camber kit ><

[viinnh]

just roll all four mat, 15x7+25 you wont need anything but dump it or just lower and roll.
roll the fronts before you munch your tyres and guards when going up drive ways, as you will be going on a angle and the suspension will compress therefore making your wheels and guard touch and munch. been there done that on all cars haha

I only rolled the rears Charles, the front i think i lipped it before i sprayed it lol didnt even realise but my front are just tucking and only scrubs when i do hard turns or go over a bump fast. Rears, so far so good, don't know if i want the rears to sit on guards, havent tried it yet, its sitting like '1 finger gap' at the moment.

Heres what the rears look like after rolled

Who'd you end up hiring to roll your guards, or did you YOLO it and DIY?

Any who..after much deliberation (and hesitation and putting it off) I got my ass down to the local wreckers (for probably the 5th time this month) and helped myself to some front mudflaps. $10 for the pair. That makes it $20 for the whole set front and rear flaps (got the rears first about a few weeks ago off the same car also for $10) Very happy! No idea why I kept putting it off to get them until now, maybe I just wanted the fronts for the sake of completeness. For some reason having just rear flaps on seems half-assed to me..

Um got some guy from Dandenong area to roll my guards, done an alright job for a reasonabe price. Didn't want to DIY because i'm not experienced and don't want to wreck the paint externally.

But yeah congrats on mudflaps man which wrecker did you go?

Nah, their Civic stock is shit. 2 preface sedans and the red facelift hatch which people jumped on and took apart pretty quick. That's all at the moment. I feel like going down again and grabbing spare screws, nuts and random tidbits that might come in handy one day when I begin to take apart and put back together my own car. Parts that people wouldn't really think twice about. But I'll keep a lookout anyways.

That looks good dude, cant seem to spot out any orange peel from clear, you used spray gun i assume, what specs of the gun nozzle and what ratio did you mix the paint? Thinking of spraying my bonnet next month, getting tired of green and black ><"

[quangsuke]

Mixture really depends on what paint you are buying. We used a 2:1 paint:hardener with 10% thinners.
Orange peel can also happened if your compressor is dropping pressure. None the less cut it
Back using 1500 wet and give it it a clear and buff it up.

Yeah rims are decent sized but fill out nicely. Will see what problems i run into when lowering.

DRLs bought simply to make car more visible during the day. Not Audi style, they are next to the number plate. Wired them up so they turn off when parker/headlights are turned on.

looks good as man, cant wait to see this thing in reality, i was going to get 15x8 j speeds but didn't want to attract too much attention. Might get another set of 15x8s when i have spare $$

[namtaro]

15x8 +25 with 205/50/15 gogogo... lowered no finger gap height... perfect =)

[mattsrea]

Would be more poke though woouldn't it? Prob need pumped guards with natural camber (or neg 2-4 deg) to pull that off. Havent seen anybody here run 15x8 +25 on 205/50s

THanks man! Would be nice if we could get a little eg/ek meet in the future. I reckon 15x8 are perfect for EKs. roll guard and lowering should be good!

[SuperJDM.]

lol 2-4" negative camber to fit x8 +25.

[mattsrea]

Yeah i thought so, looks good being the with 8inch and no stretch on tyres, idk stretch tyres kinda turn me off. But would require abit of work to fit them in, is it possible to just pull the guards out alot? Heard its possible to fit x8 +25 on natural camber by pulling the guards out.

[PHO]

I pulled around 2cm out of front guards before the whole panel started deforming a lot.

Just go steal one of nam's wheels when he's at tpnm and test fit. Haha

[mattsrea]

ahaha i tested axis og sand 15x8 +25 on my car and pokes out alot! Even on natural camber. And my rears were rolled as well..i'll consider getting 8 inch wheels later on down the year, i just want a lip now -looks at PHO-

[PHO]

Its my lip bitch. Go buy some ek9 style one :P

It pokes out cause you not low enough. More low = more kamber C?

[mattsrea]

lol i'll get one soon dw :P

And yeah thats true well my cars raised up as of today and will be up for a while, family car is down and my car is being used as the family car lol, so when i get family car up and running, it'll be lower then before :)

[90LAN]

15x6 +60 woud better on a ek imo

[mattsrea]

[SuperJDM.]

Never doubt the infamous Lan

[Frosty-Civic]

[namtaro]

[mattsrea]

Always wanted a black ek... I still dont get why people dont buy the 521's in this colour. Looks great...

Yus I am.

[mattsrea]

really? I never knew 521s came in 16x8s till i saw yours, smallest i've seen at US sellers in 4x100 is 17" ones. Taken the black ek for a spin yet? Hows the fitment?

Those pics were with the front jacked up. His car's full 4wd spec (like 2 finger gap rear, 4 finger gap front. Poking like a mofo all round. Lol

The 16's are Sportmax, 17 above is XXR I believe...

nevertheless, Eric should by my wheels :P Too bad he doesn't want to roll his guards at all for some reason...

Might go buy me some gramlights
