And DIY ek9 headlights and a detail

Looks sick as man, te's look really nice, is it the 15x8+25 one?
And what color did you diy the headlights? Black or gunmetal? Cant really tell because of the lighting.

[eeko]

Thanks dude... Yeah 15x8 +25

Umm got a grey that is pretty much spot on with oem ek9 ones, just not as glossy/reflective.

engine bay looks good, you're going to regret getting that gear knob lol. it gets really hot in summer and really cold in winter to touch

r u goin to boost da ek4

currently going over my options atm

k-swap is off the list (no A/C, there is but it is a big hassle)
Turbo the b16a (would be good for straight line, but i'm not sure if the block would take that kinda punishment on track)
B18cR(this is at the top of my list atm)
B20 conversion (if i can't find a descent b18cr then i'll get the b20 and stuff the block with goodies)

i'll be doing everything myself, so i'm saving alot of $$$$

i'm going to be entering Auto-x and hill climbs too, so my focus is handling and a little more torque/usable power)

I've just replaced the old thermostat,was so knacked it didnt even move
avid tuner mounts (62a) car rattle like a snake now
hard-race torque mounts
k tuned shifter with spoon aluminium knob
Removed intake manifold and throttle body, cleaned and polished the throttle plate
De-carb'd the engine (so much smoke,neighbours thought my house was on fire)
inner and outta tie-rods
steering rack adjustment (best mod/fix i've done ever in my entire life)


car goes really good now,engine doesn't lag like it did when i got her, engine mounts previously were knackered too (every single one was broken)



Rear mount was a *&^%$, did'nt have to remove the rear bracket to install the new mount which was a bonus



K-tuned shifter is the shiz,had an ebay special previously and it was a night and day difference. even compared to my old ek9,it just feels more fun and inspiring whenever I shift


here she is, all repaired.before and after



After





epic start to the journey,hope she does well in the upcoming months/years
I'm having more fun with this car then the EK9, with the EK4 I have to start from nothing,adding all the bits and pieces is bloody fun and satifying. But with the EK9, it was already done from factory,doesn't need any mods/parts. Reason why i sold white pearl, just got boring as there wasn't 1 thing i could do to it.

thanks for reading and comments fellas,you've been my inspiration to stay in the game(after all these years) and continue to hone/sharpen my skills

Boost it kenny, a b16 can safely make 160kw, 180kw on a more aggressive tune and 200kw on E85 all on stock sleeve and block easy, if u knw what parts to find u can usually make ur own setup for under 3k easy! or better yet source a 2nd kit for 2.5k and slap it on, and u b spanking those b18cr swapped ek all day long lol

and as far as track, dont worry about the block, as long as u have a air-to-air oil cooler and bigger radiator fitted u shouldnt have any prbs on track with a boosted setup, all comes down to how well u setup ur cooling system for ur car

[stndrd]

200kw with E85? I think you mean with 98 Barry :P

Kenny you are best of doing an LS/VTEC for good torque but still being able to rev the **** off it
