Well with work being so busy I've not had any time to find a front or rear bumper, how ever I did fit some new 16" wheels, and clear side repeaters. I should be ordering my coilovers in the next 2-3 weeks, after which I will sort the bumpers and respray :-) then towards the end of the...

I had an ST24 at the start of this year, and it was pretty quick, with lowered suspenion and 17" wheels and an induction system. The only problem I had with the car was the size of it, it would hang on in very high speed corners but seemed to lose out on tight slow speed corners. Just after...

OK, well I came back from walking the dog this morning (around 5:30) and I walked around the corner to my house, I stopped and looked at my car and the words of SlipCivic (Samuel?) ran through my head to the music by teriyaki boyz - tokyo drift (fast and furious).. and it wasn't something I...

Trust me the car looks a lot better in the flesh than in the photo's, as the photo gives it that extra chinned look. As for saying it looks "gey now", well that's cool mate, each to there own. The colour mis-match is due to the bumper still being in it's base primer as I didn't see the point...

The wheels are on the "to do" list as I plan on fitting some 16" white ones, and my rear Mugen styled bumper has been "lost", which I'm not happy about. I have fitted the long arm which lowers the filter down to behind the mesh on the front bumper, and I think once its finished, along with my...

Well today I fitted my front bumper with the help from a couple of mates, I also did the induction system, but only used the short pipe, as the long arm pipe left the air filter right by the mesh on the front bumper.. and I didn't want it to get wet. I also fitted the wind/rain deflectors, and...

I was going to buy some Ek9 wheels but understand the hubs are different, 114 and not 100. I just think the HUGE 17" wheels are to big and slow the little 1.5L down to much. So 16" will be the biggist I even consider. As for coil overs, I'm clueless as to what I want, adjustable rebound etc...

Well a few weeks ago I picked up a rather nice but tatty Frost White EK3. The car has the 1.5 SOHC engine, and has covered 121,000 miles. The owner before has used rattle cans to respray the bump side strips and the front and rear bumpers, but these are things I plan on fixing. When I got...

Just wanted to sign up and say "hi" as I've picked myself up a project EK3. I have a lot of plans for this car, and hope to keep you all updated with what I do. Cheers Paul

Here's my project EK3.
