Hello! ive just had my EK9 replica kit fitted, and the car fully colour coded, and both rear arches cut out and replaced, my wallet took a total trouncing, and it took nearly 3 weeks! but it was all worth it heres the pics:-

nice car :) not to keen on the front grille as if ur going for the ek9 look an ek9 grille would be the best option :)
 
I'm sure I've seen this out and about
where in Bristol u from mate?
I agree on the grill go for the ek9 one mate
what else u got in stall for it in the future?
 
Im from downend! hardly anyone likes the mugen grilles but i think they look amazing, evryone has the EK9 grilles, call me weird but i want something a little bit different :D :))

As for other bits, ive got to get round to fitting:-

- Momo corse steering wheel
- Triple air horns (with seperate hidden button)
- infinity 6x9's
- resprayed rocker cover
- password JDM yellow fogs
- Magnetic sump plug
- spray and sand down all rusty brackets

and im going to heatwrap around the induction kit and do a cold air feed!

nothin much really just little bits, i want to look at alloys next, i just need to have a big think and decide what looks best!!
 
needs lowering fella and some nicer wheels and your on to a winner
 
yeah it looks a little to high now! i dont want to lower it too much tho as i want it to be useable, i got fed up of having a low car with my old 2.2 civic!! it deffo needs some alloys tho!
 
Love the mugen grill mate nice to see one for a change i was gona get one but i never had £70 so opted for a rep type r grill.
 
yeah i was stunned by how clean it is! i nearly didn't recognize it was my car as it looked so different! after seeing how clean the bodyshop have made it, im definatly investing in a machine polisher after christmas:))
 
Mugen grill FTW! Looking for one for mine at the moment! Personaly I'd get the putter edge sprayed the same colour as you car it looks a million times better! I'll dig out an old pic for you to show you what I mean!
 
Very different. I like the grill black oddly. The cars sings you, and for that.........:nice:

Finally got around to spraying my cam cover and fitting my anodised bolts! its just in the garage getting the clutch/gearbox problem sorted and the cam cover bolt re tapped as it sheared off :nono:
 
Nice! Could definitely do with being lowered a little though.
Tanabe springs drop to a nice height without causing too much bother. This is how mine looked on Tanabe GF210s and KYB AGX dampers with standard alloys. Scraped my front lip now and again but it never caused me too much trouble driving.

looks nice mate, i personally wouldnt go for the mugen grill but everyone has their own taste, what type of wheels have you got in mind putting on the ek4?
 
hmmm! im gonna keep it as it is suspension wise at the moment methinks!! and just get some alloys, i was thinking integra style 4 stud alloys, but i need to have a good look around at what other alloys would look nice!

My cars currently in the garage again as ive got a problem with my brand new clutch, i think its a faulty one!:nono: and my mechanic has to file a warrently claim with the company so it dosent look like im gonna be driving it for a while:(
