    Newbie with a few very possibly stupid questions lol

    1. The Red Recaro's are one of the very distinctive points of an EK9 and are loved even outside of honda circles so it'd be a shame/sin to re-trim them, they make good money second hand so if you really want leather why not swap them for leather bucket seats. 2. The EK9 was the first Type-R...

    Super crazy fancy air intake!!!

    Cheers Ben, yea it is but 90% of the time the people who get rich off ideas aren't the people who actually created them, I looked into patent but they are crazy dough and you need to be be making it pay for itself which takes a hefty initial cash injection which I just cant afford. Cheers...

    cut springs

    Sorry pretty swamped here so cant go into big detail but basically this is a progressive spring, thats why the coils are tighter wound at the bottom.
