Right so had this a few months now so may as well do a build thread and update it as i go
Got the car in november last year after swapping my old crx plus cash for it
Mint low miles example in black which i've always wanted and have said for 5 years i'd own an ek9 one day
Few shots from when i first got it

Then over winter while it was off the road i got a personal grinta wheel with yellow stitch in 330mm and a dual kit of the D1 spec bosses and some Titanuim wheel bolts to go with it from BoltsBolts (recommend these to anyone, proper baller looking)
Also won a mint red recaro Spg seat off ebay so fitted that along with a buddyclub rail

Just been having fun and enjoying it on the back roads so far.
Current mods are the wheel, seat, meister R coilovers and a 5zigen pro racer burnt tip cat back with decat
Also before it came out on the road i did a wire tuck and fuse box relocation which cleaned up the bay a whole load

Also had my dc2 airbox fitted that i've had lying in my house for about 2 years
Just this week i got my Stack gauges in the post as well as a single din blanking plate so hopefully get those fitted soon (oil temp, water temp, oil pressure)
Booked on a rolling road on the 2nd of june so will see how it performs then
Plans are for some 15x7 almighty grey regas, some AD08s, airwalker rep front bumper, tegiwa manifold and remap beforw winter then hoping to get a diffuser and a rollcage over winter as well as some harnesses
Not in a mega rush as i've just been having fun blasting about in it
couple of shots from the photoshoots i've done with the car

Car has been machine polished and gets washed and waxed pretty much every time i go for a drive in it haha
More updates to come when i get my stuff bought and fitted
