[raniti]

Been on here for awhile now. thought id share my eks progress. not much
in terms of engine/handling so far but it starts soon so here a quick run down
from stock to now.

So when I picked it up from the grandma in Shepperton



Then did some cheap ebay mods. grill and mugen style lip


For the 18th bday got a kicker sound system and exhaust



Some DIYs



Recaro reps and colour coded lip



The eBay grill wasnt doing it for me so went OEM. also got a duckbill and ek9 knob and boot.




Rear Lip and full colour code


Now, plans for the next 3 months
Gli Cluster

Rota J-SPL

Coilovers

[alanalan]

nice progress their, comeing along nicely ahahhas goodluck with future build

[anzai]

hey man car is looking good, i reckon coilovers first before rims, need to get rid of 4wd stance real soon!

just wondering where did you find your oem grille from?

[mugen_ctr]

If ur really wanting JDM look, dont spend money on rotas, go buddy clubs, ssr, rays or even bbs wheels, sure they mite be expensive but even 2nd hand will do nicely, but u do pay for what u get for, Rotas for USDM look

Colour coded grill looks so much nicer, get rid of that pod, its making ur car slower lol, airbox for better overall performance

Very clean looking car mate, I like it and nice DIY's

[pat88c]

nice work
you did the same mods i would if get a stock Ek civic hatch and have a great looking daily driver

i would keep the wheels you got rolling on it atm and put the coilovers in before the new rota's

[raniti]

I knew i was gonna get the same feedback about the height haha its not that i'd rather rims, just my dad is abit strict and wants me to wait till
dec when ive had my license for 1 1/2 yrs. cant complain helped pay for the car so yea.

The pod was on ages ago. p plater mod got over it tho.

and anzai, brought it off a member here just keep looking.
