Hey everyone,
My names James (no shit). Bought my EK close to a year ago now (Stock). Previous rides where Nissan EXA (2 of them) and a NXR Coupe. I moderate on the EXA/NX Club forums but after i went for a ride in a friends EJ8 i had to buy a Honda!
This is my EK to date.

Added a few essentials and soon there will be more to come!
My girlfirned just put a deposit on an EK4 so we hope to get that at the end of the week! (She too had NX coupe lol).
Cheers!

Private sale on carsales.com.au. It's a pre facelift cypress green. Has all ctr lips and wing, pioneer DVD sound system and a heap of other goodies. She will post it up soon I'd hope. Our mechanic is looking over it tomorrow before we settle the sale.
I'm very jealous of the B16A2. Lol.

Thanks guys : )
Currently the car has
- Mugen front lip
- CTR Rear
- CTR Grill
- Spoon CF Wing
- Buddy Club Coil Overs
- Intake + Pod
- Aftermarket muffler
- Black housing headlights (DIY)
Future plans
- GLi/VTi Dash cluster with Tacho
- I have a genuine momo steering wheel I'd like to put on
- BuddyClub Short Shifter
- EK4 seats (Ek1 are terribad)
- Colour coded bump stripes etc (soon)
- CF bonnet
etc... just wanna clean it up and get some of the essentials that the CXi doesnt have. When i bought the car I had under 6k and i wasnt working full time.
It's clear my gf has the power in the relationship (and i dont just mean the B16 lol)
One day id love to have a B16/B18 - but im not gunna lie and say i can afford it now lol.
