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

[Riced_Civic]

What front sway are you using? Nothin better than a harness for track, feels awesome haha

running a EM1 front sway, yeah running with out a harness feel weired on the track, i dunno how some people can do it.

[sangyz]

you guys have a clue if ek9 front sway fit on ek1? or do i need to run em1 front sway? currently looking for sways for my car :] as i heard ek9 front sway dont fit on ej8 apparently..

[brandonek1]

i'm pretty sure you need ek9 front LCAs aswell. don't quote me on that though haha

[Riced_Civic]

if u have EK1 u need to change LCAs as i had to.

but every thing else should be ok em1, vtir and ek9 sways should all fit

[mugen_ctr]

Front ek9 and ek4 are the same diameter i heard.... if im not mistaken only differences is the rear sway bar

Im not sure of ek1 though, could be the same minus the rear swaybar

CXI are the only model EK that lca's wont work, GLI and up will

do you guys experience a 'noticeable' increase in road noise with lowered suspension in the EKs?

[t4orce]

More interior creaks from added stiffness.

nope, i guess depends on few things really, most notable the condition of the shockers, but tires also play big factor to road noise

you are closer to the 'road' ? lol

- sorry, had to.

true, i guess any profile less than 50 and it's not going to help and suppose with coilovers you can control the stiffness as well

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

So after all that trouble, turns out to be something simple... dangz

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

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

I Just run 4 foam filters, one on each of the TB's, the filter has an internal cage that sits on the bell mouths of the ITBs, 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

ready for the track aye good luck did you remove sound deadning yet?

Yeah sound deadening and carpet have all been removed from the inside :thumsbup:

So good to see your EM1 again Mike especially in track form.. You tow it up to Winton??

Yeah, I am borrowing one of my mates trailers, suc a pain that i have to tow it up there. But then at least I know I can get it home if something go's wrong, knock on wood

looks hot man.

should be getting some new headers for my EJ8 before Friday, WOOOO

thanks mate. Hey, I swear I saw a civic exactly the same as the one in your avatar the other day, down near Chirnside in Vicco. but says you are from SA.

looks good Mike, nice power from your EM1

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...

do you guys experience a 'noticeable' increase in road noise with lowered suspension in the EKs?

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
