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
Yeah, I got a few dents here and there and scrapes (from previous owner). It's something I'll kinda consider, just wanted to know a rough cost of it :)
Today i am fitting my new front and rear strut braces (upper), hopfully fit my new short shifter with JDM Type R knob, fit the interior back in (after i make a couple of holes in it for the rear strut brace) and fix my LHF speaker.
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.
Attachment 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.

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.

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
One more for good measure :)
Hopefully it's genuine. I noticed no Jasma plate :S

sometimes they.dont have it my spoon n1 muffler does bot have it but i thought all there headers had it :/ wouldnt worry.too.much though :)
good pick up on exhaust
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. :(

Its the nature of that design hanging so low
doesnt matter as stance is more cool than damaged header's
RM01A was pretty ordinary to me
Lol if you want loud go with buddyclub spec 2 I love it.... Mrs doesn't so much lol
Pick up my ek tomorrow
Just need to find a spot to park it
Take some pics over the weekend
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.Quote:

i got bc spec 3 and its loud ass!!
Haha shit thats mad! Get much attention from the po po?
I have never had any attention but Im thinking I may get some now.
PS LAN I haven't got any stance anyways so I'm resigned to being uncool.
Uncool FTW :)

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.Quote:

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
good job bro... finally sum1 pulled it off hahaha, was it hard at all? and hows the projection lighting at nite?Quote:

drove it all the way back from Rockhampton to Brisbane for the long weekend on a tank of fuel, good consumption I wasn't expecting with the B18CR whilst sitting on 3500rpm at 100kph

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 :)Quote:

lol l was tossing up to do it or not because of that reason, only did it as my new rims are arriving next month, wanted to try it out on these to see what it looks like before l do it to the new rimsQuote:

ye, l think the problem was that it didnt fill the guards up (should get some spacers just to see what they look like) should look good when the new ones arriveQuote:
