So a few weeks back I went to pick up benno's EK9. It all came about quite suddenly... after selling my itr I got an e36 328 sport for some sideways action, but I've never had the same love for it as my hondas, so while browsing the for sale section I came across a silver (told myself I'd never own a white car again,such a pain to keep clean!) facelift and stroked EK9... PERFECT!

Since owning it I've put on some buddy club racing spec coilovers 16kg springs up front and 12kg at the back, a tad on the bouncy side on the road but should be immense on track.

I have a few other bits planned, but it's going to be a slow process.

from the advert and recipts that came with the car it's been stroked using a brand new integra crank and rods but using oriinal pistons. I don't think there has been any work done to the head. Are b16b and b18c heads different then? Also dyno graphs that came with the car show it making 196bhp.
 
benno's old ek9?

looks lovely, was also a good price when it was up for sale.
 
Not my kinda color, but she looks mint! And wtf, 16kgf/12kgr? Thats insane! :p
