The next things for me will be some Amber foggies, JDM visors and an EK9 shift boot. That being said, if any other nice EK9 goodies pop up, Ill see what happens.
I got some jdm visors pm me they will suit civic ek hatch or em1 coupe :) broQuote:

Cheers. Yeah, with this car it has pretty much been. Save up money, research and then wait a bit. So far I am pretty happy with the result.Quote:

I've been thinking of doing an EK9 rear lip in the same ABS plastic as the rest of the lips around the car. But I am not sure as to how it would look. At the moment it is all finished by the mud flaps.
finally source dc2 rear brakes with abs lines an plugs, cant wait till chuck em in.... such a relief now lol, one less thing to buy
Sold my EJ8 ! new owner just drove away - gonna miss it...

As everyone knows, my suggestion is OEM all the way or quality Japanese parts> Yes, it costs a bit more, but lasts longer, looks better, looks cleaner and you can always part the car out one day and make most of your money back - so in the long run it's really much the muchness... you just pay more to start with.Quote:

i started the car for the 1st time since November and bought some skunk2 Stg1 cams and cam gear for my build
Hmm feel like doing a build thread to keep track of my car and diary. Had an ek4 before and got my fulls and went for a type x. I'm back to ek4 again and will be sticking with oem and quality parts. No fakies!
