Thought i'd create a build of my car.

I was looking for a Black Ek9 last year, however, due to the limited available, i requested Duncan (Fastjapcars) to import me one directly stock. It arrived in 31/07/07.

anyway, thought i'd share some pics :)

This is how it was when it was imported.

lookin hot as a m*tha f*cka as alwayz mate:nice: the black looks lovelly when its polished up.
 
Anyway, Have been feeling a little bored with the car.... no problems... Just the ownership of the ek9 was getting a little boring... was even thinking about selling up..... o_O however, everytime i drove it, i forgot about why and what even made me think about selling..!!!
So... i decided to sell my breathing mods :)... Spoon was getting a little tedious as ive had the same system for 3 years... on every one of my cars! o_O
Anyway, ill let the pics do the talking;)

Powerhouse Amuse R1 Titan titanium exhaust (so so light)

(Just want to say thanks to Livvy and Paul for the warm welcome, and for helping me install ;))
 
Throughout the time, i bought new headlights, due to the old ones fading out... tried and sold the spoon ecu, Alex brackets.. prob forgetten a few things.... even brought another n1.. HOwever, now it sits at its beast with the amuse breathing and i replaced the mugen cai with an aem v1... this was to improved top end rpm and a little change to maintain the interest.
Car is still serviced every 6k by TGM, replacing all 4 tyres, and all dash lights in the process...
As said, i have probably missed a few things, but im sure i got most of it.
Dunno whats next, but will keep this updated :)
Thanks for reading.
 
nice write up:nice:, any chance you may sell the other n1 you have brought???
 
hehe... gone to my lil bro unfortunately mate :)
Had it for 2 days o_O thinking it was what i wanted...
 
ha ha, ok, no worries,
had enough of my standard exhaust want some noise:nice:
 
Looks fantastic, what doya mean by a Full Body respray touch up?
 
when the car came in from japan, it had little car park dings and bumper imperfection... well at least i was fussy enough to notice them... so i took the car into a sprayer and told him i wanted it to come out close enough to brand new :)
 
oh yeh, During some time, replaced my original headunit, NGK HT leads and installed a Defi VSD basis Rev counter

Oh really, how much did they charge you if you dont mind me asking?

Also, did you get your alloys sprayed in Championship White?
 
The guy was my dads friend, so he quoted me a very reasonable price.
The wheels were refurbed during christmas time in champship white
