hope you like it so far guys and thanks for taking the time to look.
 
Looks like a tidy car, not a fan of the body kit though
 
Car looks very clean, i guess thats what you been upto since u had it, good job. Not 100% on bodykit but its not ott. If u like it thats what matters! Engine shot is money! Any interior pics?
 
cheers fellas, the kit does divide opinion, I really love a good OEM style ek9 but it's nice to be a bit different at the same time, I have toyed with the idea of taking it back to it's original form but it seemed a shame, but I can appreciate it isn't going to appeal to everyone.

the only interior shot I have is this one which doesn't really show much, other than the damage I recently received by someone who I think backed into it and then drove off in the night :(

C-West kit looks great on your car!
Too bad the TE37's are a different shade, would've been perfect if they were Mag Blue.
 
i think the wheels look great white give a nice contrast to the nh0

surprisingly i also like the kit. has a nice grass roots japanese circuit racing feel to it
 
Awesome, looks exactly how I picture a modded EK9 abused around the streets and tracks of Japan! Very tidy looking too which is unusual with a car of this style, you enjoying it?
 
Very nice 9, the kit looks well! Like u say good to be different without being too mad
 
if i'm totally honest the kanjo-esque appearance of it is probably what attracted me to it I think over others I went to view, but it needed a few things fixing as well which I over looked to my cost.

I was kind of expecting this to get a more negative response as it is definitely a marmite car and putting it in amongst an enthusiast owned crowd was a risk, but its made a nice change to get a mature response from a message board.

as it stands I've booked the car in for a full respray as the kit isnt fitted very well, and like i said someone has damaged the corner of the rear bumper and there are early signs of rust in the drivers rear arch on the lip so once that's done I'll more than likely start on the engine bay and get that tidied up.
 
Oh man, I still remember the night we picked this up, seems like such a long time ago now. Haha!
 
white on white with Takata harnesses looks good. Are you keeping the black wheel set up or is it just temporary?

it's sporting 16 inch te37's bud, the integra wheels are what came with the car but they were changed fairly early into my ownership.

At the moment I don't really have much to update, I'm still dragging my backside about whether or not it's worth having the whole car painted or not, in the mean time I've decided to take the carbon bonnet off in favour of the all white look to spice things up a bit.

Haha I know man, it's crazy, nearly had it a year already, it will equal the record for vehicle I've kept for the longest time.
 
Looks better with the white bonnet,

Seems to have come a long way since you bought it, :nice:
