Cool 1 hour drive for me but will be a fun road trip XD

Hasport EKK2 and the budget K-Tuned header.
I've ordered a K-tuned level one package.


Ps new goodies in and new goodies soon to come:
ITR DC2 rearseating
full black EK4 interior
electric power window conversion and
a EK4 242 rearbrake disk conversion

ps going to stay 262 and 242 on purpose since im more of a dragger then a circuit racer.
262 in front so i can fit 13" slicks in the future.

Cheers,

Mitch

Im really liking the look of this. Seems be be the k swap is the conversion to have this year!! my friend has a jrsc ep3 and it eats gearboxes like theres no tomorrow, so I would pay careful attention to that side of things as you won't have an lsd as standard
 
Wow, nice work dude!

Thanks man XD

Thanks man. Yeah K-engines are very potential a friend of mine with a full stock EP3 and a rotrex is making 565 hp STOCK BLOCK!! thats insane!
He has a full Toda exhaust, carbonetics twinplate and LSD.

Going that way but with a quiafe LSD, DSS stage 2.9 axles and a custom 3" exhaust.

Does he destroy the gearbox(inner workings or housing?), axles or tires?
Most JRSC's make round 300HP have 2 friends here locally also with a JRSC setup. Haven't really heard em complain.


Small update:
Also fitted OEM facelift rear lights(don't have a good b4 pic; just a half b4/after) :

Seems I could better order new bearings and a speedo gear.
$30 in n allot of webshops in the states or €90 by a dealer in Europe..
So ordered from the states..

Also tried to find a solution for my 205/55/16 semis for daily and for same diameter and width full slicks for the strip.
Ordered these fenders today from VIS racing in carbon.
Hope I can fit em onto my EK:
