Picked this up off here a few weeks back... black EJ9 Sport.

Engine swap was dropped off to me yesterday, 59k with FSH, came with both looms, driveshafts and rad setup, just need a flywheel and clutch and o2 sensors.

I had already picked up a DC5 Buddyclub Shifter box and cables in preperation..

Rest of the swap parts will be ordered shortly.

This is my 3rd full K swap so pretty much got it down now!



 
Man you making want to start a thread for my k20 build.. Keep it coming bro
 
Waiting on K swap parts to arrive so in the mean time fitted my seat after picking up a seat rail for it 2nd hand.



I'll be collecting full Dc2 subframe LCA's and rack and complete 5 stud swap this weekend too.



 
Picked up complete 5 stud swap and DC2R subframe/rack/ARB and front LCA's.

Karcepts fuel setup too, features AEM FPR and gauge and Karcepts own biller rail and fuel lines...


 
Love black eks

Yeah always wanted one myself..

I really like facelift coupes in black too, we rcently built a k20 coupe for my son in EBP the shapre has grown on me alot, think one may be my next build.
 
Coilover fitting and new shoes... decided against the 5 stud swap so picked these up locally.

Need new rear LCA's as the bushes are all goosed.

Fitted some Spoon style mirrors, colour coded them and gave the EK9 grille a coat while I was on...

 
Rear LCA's sorted, heights adjusted and tracking done... 225 45 16 AD08's will be going on in preperation for the extra grunt! The Nankangs on the rims at the mo just wont do!





 
Parts slowly coming in... picked a swap header up used, looks in great shape.

Still waiting on all the parts from the U.S... fingers crossed its this week!

 
Hi bud,
I'll selling my exhaust shortly and have no idea how much to put it up for? If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay?

Cheers
 
Mines a full system made by solid fabs. Good condition as its been on track mainly.

I might split that's why I wondered what you paid for your manifold?
 
Started to strip the car down now ready for the swap... the mounts should be here this week so got everything ready to drop out.

Gave the DC2 subframe setup and ARB a tidy up so its ready to be fitted.


 
Got the Buddyclub DC5 shifter fitted.. still keeping the OEM centre plastics... I dont like the idea of cutting a massive hole in the floor like some do.. and the no cut shifter setup is abit pricey for my liking... I really like the look of having the shifter mechanisam on show. :)

 
Mounts finally turned up, so got the brackets in and moved the rad supports to suit the ep3 rad...



 
Got the DC2R subframe setup in and looped the rack...



My friend made a start on the rear inner arches which needed attention, cut out any sign of rot ready for the new inner arch panels which will be made from scratch by another friend.



Then finally today got the engine sat in.. :)
