***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[FRK202]

What it needs it wetsanding then a cut and polish :)

Yeah, my process was primer, wetsand(1000), tack coat, colour coat, wetsand(2000), clear coat, polish. Still not that glossy :(

[mattsrea]

After clear coat wet sand (1500 then 2000) then cut and polish. Thats the step your missing.

[FRK202]

Cheers, I'll try that and will post an update

Yo matt, same price it cost for your wheels :) got hooker up for such a nice clean set of super rare wheels,
I look at it this way, it cost more then an average wheel, but with money at hand I couldn't get hold of any other set that was available,
Great investment, will be a worthwhile catch

[mattsrea]

did you use paint stripper on plastic

I used some bumper stripper so i assume it was okay? Only applied one light coat using a small brush so it'll peel of the primer and the original paint. Was careful not to put on alot though because it was a china brand one my dad bought a while ago lol. Spent the other 1-2 hours sanding it with 80gritt sandpaper

Simpsons quote on a stolen honda badge "Whats the point of having a honda when you can't show it off"

[Spoon-Accord]

if he likes it then well yeh fair enough. thought he wanted an EK9 grill for that purpose.

but then again its his car, he can do whatever he likes

my 2 HK cents is get a EK9 hood badge and remove that shiny H looking thing :)

PS. Some douchebag reverse into my car and denied it... great start to the weekend!

With my type r lip installed, i have more clearance at the front :) Besides from washing the car and buffing the lip, i chucked my oem foglight covers back on, looks helluh alot better then before.

Thanks man. Coilovers are amazing. Very comfortable compared to the king springs. Probably around 12-16cms off the ground. It was lower, but i took it for a spin and scrubbed while driving straight so I raised it up.

Fixed the crack with locite superglue (works perfectly holds really strong) but cbf fixing the tab yet, will superglue it some other time i got lazy.

Right now its held up with washer and nut using oem bolts.
Ahh alright then anybody know what the oem bolts look like? If not i'm just going to get a bolt with washer.

Ohhh sheit son thats a good height for 12-16cm off the ground, are you sitting on the rears or is that just not on level ground? Looks good as though! Keep up the good work


On a side note, i agree with mugen_ctr we should have a get together before uni starts (i was planning on making one) but have no idea on locations :\

[viinnh]

Mount the lip on from the 2 sides then use self tapered bolts and drill holes randomly and screw it in everywhere. ThTs how I did it on my ek. Hold heaps strong and harder to steal as I used 8mm 10mm 12mm hex self tappeeed. Some Philips head and flat has. Some Allen keys lol

I was thinking of that because i have mixed screws (hex type, T10,T5 etc.) but i dunno about making the holes, should see my rear bar when trying to fix up my rear lip LOL, holes everywhere if i take off the lip :(
I'll have a look at it and if i cant i'll prob put 3 (one on each side and one in middle)

The clips are what the bolts are screwing into.

The clips are a u shaped silver metal peice, that clips on the bumper. Then you have the bolt that goes through the lip, and threads into the clip.

Undo one and you'll see what i'm talking about. You can always ask for 2/3 clips/bolts from him for you to use.

dw.. you'll hate it.

outside sounds great (like a track car and that raspy noise)

but on the inside however... even ear plugs did'nt even help

and before you go on a long trip, make sure you replace that axle back to standard. even panadol doesn't work *sigh*

are u serious? i had a spoon n1 on my s2000 with a test pipe and it was the best exhaust ive ever had, quiet in low revs and sounded great when driving with abit of spirit

then again my old EK was 130 db (3" stainless no mufflers, straight pipe axle back)

[willone1]

Welcome to the low kms club. My EK had 72,000 when I got it :p

Cxi or Gli?

It's Gli, yeah I was so stoked about the low kms, interior is immaculate and exterior has only tiny little scratches from wear and tear. I don't think the old owner drove much :D

Does everything feel, smell and sound brand new as well? I remember starting mine up for the first time, had that quiet new sound, it was like I just brought home a brand new EK back in 2000. Haha. Amazing feeling. Even the glass is so new!! Got an engine shot?

What are the plans for this car?

loll it was to late to start reving it! i took 3 pics LAN, and ill take the vid tommorow, so much effort tonight, i though it would be though much quieter then expected!

[MYEK9]

if im going to do the video ill do it properly! but i want to take it to mechanic tommorow to double check the system, even with the old system i was running, i found that i was hearing a bit of rattle noise at 3,000rpm but then it would stop once i hit like 3,500rpm ... i reckon it might be the converter, but the thing is i changed it another stock ek9 converter i had lying round off a stock exhaust, but still hearing this noise at 3k rpm ... you reckon it could be the extractors?

[MYEK9]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfWchHinMAQ&feature=youtu.be

There the next exhaust finally got back from the shop, the bloke that helped me said the noise i was hearing at 3k rpm was normal for honda's due to their reasonators and high RPM.. not sure what it meant, but yeah exhaust looking fresh and goes very well , pretty loud crossover also!

[baethos]

hmm. is spoon n1 supposed to be one of the better sounding exhausts? what others are out there?

[MYEK9]

hmm. is spoon n1 supposed to be one of the better sounding exhausts? what others are out there?

There is high end brands like fujitsubo , j's racing , mugen and spoon , many others but cannot think of them, supposed to be good cause sound is low on low rpm , but high on high rpm! in person noise is very different to the video

[dorikin]

Thanks mate,

didn't buy the steelies off the shelf, don't think you can buy tho ? lots of time consuming involved, bought 15in stockies, bought 15x8 outer rims from another place, went to custom wheel repair/shop, got the center of the stockeis machined off, put it in the new outer rims and picked the offset. then, took it to spray painter and got it done in satin black.. wheel's spec = 15x8 +20, tyre's spec = 195/50

only drove back from JDM Yard yesterday, felt pretty good, nice and comfy for daily but the handling heaps better. should get bit better as the wheel alignment done tho

cheers

Nah I'm not depending on anything, it's just great cause they're all roadworthy. When I have enough $$ for some decent 15x8's I'll get some good sticky tyres to go with. And I'm always careful in the rain :)

it sounds alright for a cheap muffler, is that the 3" inlet? would there be any sound difference if you get the 2.5" ? Because they'd still have to mod it abit.

It's a 2.5" tip. It has a 3" inlet on the rear
Of the muffler. The shop basically welds on an adaptor that steps down to 2" with a flange to bolt into the stock exhaust.

I quite like the sound. It's quieter than stock at idle, sounds great in the low end too.

Likely to be the camera, doesn't sound at all raspy to me, at least not when I'm driving. The intake might interfere too.

Oh right fair enough i was thinking of getting one too but might have second thoughts because a dc2r is tempting. Either way gptta get one soon, mufflers got holes that were previously weilded for temporary use.

[Spoon-Accord]

Get an xforce twin loop, what I'm running ATM on my baby, quiet and subtle! Cop never really bothered or asked me about my muffler, maybe because its black

[90LAN]

Why not get the real thing a mugen twinloop

[SuperJDM.]

Lolllll! Because fakes FTW.

PS boys, I had one of these fake ones on my
Honda and it sounded like a farty asshole after half a year or so.

[mattsrea]

lol some people are on a budget hahaha, mugen twin loop are good but pricey, i might as well look for a dc2r muffler when mines gone if not maybe xforce twin loop.

[90LAN]

800 for a new x force twin loop is not on a budget
price was listed from a member on here

i thought they go off for about 500ish?

[mugen_ctr]

Because ppl would rather buy new parts than re-use old parts, think of why ppl buy rota's or seats for examples...

Anyways, forget twin loop, get a good JDM cat back, like Fujitsubo, kakimoto or Vision N1, they are just as quite if not slightly louder, all comes down to the muffler canister design, the center muffler an resonators, just cause its a cannon design doesnt mean it would b loud, food for thought!

[90LAN]

yeah i would buy new fake copy parts over quality second hand parts, every one has eyes and a brain to work out if the used part is still good or not

all the exhaust you mention are still loud

best exhaust would be a ek9 cat back

[ivseenwars]

Why not get the real thing a mugen twinloop

I would've got the real thing if I wasn't an apprentice making $7.80 an hour lol..

[90LAN]

7.80 x 100 hrs work you have your exhaust

[PHO]

Mmmmmm. Dp want ek9 catback. Only have the axle back so far

[90LAN]

i thought they go off for about 500ish?

i wouldnt know what fake parts go for
quoted from a member what he paid for one

[mugen_ctr]

fuuknnn LOLOLOL......for the money of twin loop, U can buy a new cat back from the US LOL, and anyways, if ya do ur research u would know mugens twin loop are restrictive Hence why none of the Ek9 boys in europe use em and also in the USA none of the ek/dc guys use em, an waste of money on a performance pov.... IF i remember awhile ago in a Honda magzine, the power gain was pretty much similar to oem vs say a straight flow cat back with a good oval muffler which had a power gain of 5 - 10 hp back to back on a hub dyno

Heres a few names for around $1000 - $800, Apexi WS2, DC Sports, and Magna flow just to name a few.... and forget mugen, just cause its from japan doesnt mean squat nowadays, better off getting a new cat back, would u rather a 5 - 10 year 2nd hand cat back or new cat back for same money?

i love how people quote things from what they have read and then try to make out they know 1st hand about it
have you ever owned a 5-10 yr old quality exhaust at all

no point arguing if you dont have any experience

[90LAN]

my 15 yr old mugen twin loop is still working how it should be too
it only made 1-2kws on my butt dyno but
so it makes it inferior to the examples you mentioned

[Spoon-Accord]

Honestly from my previous mugen twin loop (axle back) compared to my twin loop by xforce (axle back aswell) the xforce came out Much quieter for some unknown reason.

This is with an oem ek9 b pipe with decat

I'm uploading the video now of the xforce for you to have a listen
But the xforce I own is alot quieter then most people's, unknown reason...

[viinnh]

2.5" straight pipe whole way guys

[eren]

2.5" straight pipe whole way guys
what engine? , got a video of sound?

Real or fake,twinloop looks and sounds like shit
