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

Tonight, I re-assembled my front splitter setup. Was in pieces. Not much more to do now.

thought about a velocity stack to ur itbs? looks sooooo cool especially in anodized blue or purple :D

Velocity stack? i'm not sure what you mean? any pics of a similar setup to what your thinking?

I Just run 4 foam UNI-filter Filters, one on each of the TB's, the filters have an internal cage that sits on the bell mouths of the ITBs, this way the filter doesn't collapse. looks and sounds awesome, performance probably not as good as some other setups probably (hot air etc) but I'm not keen on running them without filters or with the plenum, plenum takes away all that great sound ;)

Thanks mate, can't wait to give it a good proper run. I still haven't driven it for more than 20m in first gear yet since i've had it back...

Yeah man, heaps more noises in the way of creaks, cracks, bumps, clonks and donks. Plus, being closer to the road increases road noise, but only slightly. The look is worth the slight discomfort :thumbsup:

extended headlight harness' and other misc wiring for tucking, just need to clean it all up and cover it in corro ^^

yea, i'm in SA :/ lol. whenever i see another EJ8/EM1 on the roads here i smile and admire

Hey mike, i mean trumpets/bell mouths, velocity stacks just another more technical term lol

Hardly see any modded civics around Vic nowadays, or maybe im jus on the wrong side of the state lol (northside), from what iev seen skylines/silvia out number us big time, for every 5 skylines, theres one modded civic :(

i guess you could say its the new bogan car, since there dirt cheap an every bogan thinks his a even more of a hard kent with a turbo (no offence taken to skyline owners)

Fixed my Drivers side door locking mechanism....Took it all apart, cleaned it, lubricated all the moving parts put it back together all good... Only to find my passenger door lock is playing up now...
Ah the joys of 10+ years old Hondas.
I figure my car realises I have put it up for sale and now its crakin' the shits in retaliation.

door lock easy to fix bro!

Was in the garage again tonight mounting the brackets for the front splitter and test fitting. Also removed the old un-used air-con cylinder thingy and also the window washer fluid bottle. Got my tires fitted to the wheels too, look phat :thumbsup:

ah yes, I understand, my ITB's already have really short but wide bellmouths on the them. my Filters just sit over them.

Yeah true, I barely ever see modded honda's in general to be honest except for DC5's and DC2's. I see them around a bit but never anything else. I see a hell of a lot of skylines around my area but only 1/7 are worth a second look. My area is packed full of commodores and Utes to be honest (complete with a southern cross sticker and chevy badge.......) every second dickhead has one and there are a lot of dickheads out my way haha Honda's out my area are very scarce :(

Installed whale penis intake, removed resonator, cut bumper and installed cold air feed. The whale penis intake seems deeper and louder than injen replica. Throttle response seems better too.

I heard awhile back running longer trumpets can alter ur power band, though i wouldn't know for sure as im not a engineer but seeing real race cars with long trumpets could mean something

Cars looking real good in race trim :) loving the canards an front splitter, have you thought of running wider rims or lower offset wheels to increase wheel track? just a suggestion lol still feeling ur work wheels :)

Is that a mini i see, lol, good ol mr.bean car hahahaha whack in a K20 in it, than its no slouch

longer runners mean more torque

Already running wider wheels and tires for track man, running 15x8" +36 6ul with hoosier R6 225 up front and 205 at the rear. My other wheels are the SSR's (not to be mistaken with work meisters ;) ) which are the 16x7.5" +26, so they would be great for track if they weren't so heavy... (possibly be up for sale soon too
, maybe)

Will be the first time out with this new wheel tire combo so i'm keen to see what difference it will make compared to my old combo,
the 15x7" +42 with 205 direzza 03G's. Should be a huge difference,
i hope.

Yeah the mini has been at undercoat stage for the last 3 years. My brothers un-finished project... Working engine and everything. Just needs a spray and a new dash made up and it would be pretty much done.

my 'N*Power' eBay headers came todaaaaaaaaaay :D! me so happy!! heres the link to my facebook album
