    99' Black EK1 Student Build DIY

    Hey all!

    First off my names Cam, I'm 18, I work as a trainee window tinter for MotorOne in burwood, and I've had a need for owning something JDM, hmm where to start?

    So got my License, saved my pennies, Bought a rock stock EK1 CXi, 5sp, 100Kkms, great shape, good base line for creating what I intended!

    After paying off my old man with what he lent me to buy the car, I started saving for myself, I read up on a lot on hear OH, and other various forums on what I should approach on first modifying my car, and with that info tried to figure out what would be best for myself!

    So started purchasing first lot of mods and have most installed!

    Installed:
    Beaks Rear tie bar
    Beaks V2 RSB
    Koni Shocks
    Pedders Springs all round
    EK9 Style front lip

    Purchased (not installed):
    Cusco Front/Rear Sway bars.
    Hardrace Front/Rear Camber Arms

    Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_0729.jpg  Views: 304  Size: 138.0 KB  ID: 23916

    I intend to DIY paint the wheels black as they are a cheap set of advanti's, Purchase a spoon style CF rear wing and DIY EK9 rear Tail Lights in the next few weeks, after that I'm not sure whether to go ahead and begin to upgrade flow, exhaust/headers + CAI, or to continue purchasing suspension and futher exterior bits n pieces.

    I need some Ideas and Opinions! cheers.

    Cheers, I'm Hoping to Build the motor Failry soon as i can get most finishing exterior/Interior installs done for cheap (ie. tint, electronics, Deatiling, Small dint repairs, panel re-alignment and so on!) once I've finished the motor this thing is gonna be as clean as possible! But thats Many Months down the road! Thats Exactly the reason why i spent that little extra $$ and bought something low K's and ofcoarse for the facelift as I porbably would have bought an EG instead....

    Yeah I wish I originally bought a stock facelift then put the engine in rather than buying a preface with a B16.

    There are so many little tiny things on my car that need to be fixed and it all adds up :/.
    Ye I like a nice clean facelift ek over an eg any day :P
