    I've got a set of Sparco rims that have very slim lug holes so I need to get some 'tuner' nuts for it, does any one have any recommendations for some decent/strong ones not just designed for bling? Thanks

    Mugen front bumper on facelift 9.

    Can someone confirm; if i wanted to fit the Mugen font end to a facelift ek9, I would need to replace the wings, headlights and bonnet to get it to fit correctly? And I don't mean to be rude, but if people are going to post and say "don't do it, it's not OEM++" don't waste your time, you're...

    Tanabe 4-1

    I'm starting to get some bit together for my 9, giving it the love it deserves. Dunx has got a Tanabe 4-1 for a decent price which I'm sorely tempted by, so just curious if anyone has any experience of Tanabe products as they seem to be pretty rare on UK cars and I'm struggling to find any...

    Hardrace buishing kit help.

    Firstly apologies for this being a bit of a ramble, I'm not very technically minded and I'm not all that clued up on how all of the suspension components interact. There has been a lot of talk the past few weeks about RTAs and other bushings, with the company Hardrace being mentioned...

    Honda Access / optional parts

    Despite using this site for over a year and a half I have only really just noticed that I seem to be one who has got mudguards on their EK9. Has every one else just taken their's off , or is it quite rare to have them? Second someoene posted a shot of their headlining the other day when they...

    Real cost of Spoon Stroker Kit

    There have been a lot of posts regarding stroking the B16B recently, and with Spoon announcing that the stroker kit will be available again in Europe I'm guessing a few of us on here will be going down this route. As far as I've been able to tell is will cost £831 - 10% for us ek9.org...

    Load rating

    Just a quick question, I'm still undecided about what tires to go for and I've noticed that nearly everything I've looked at (195/50/15) has a 82 rating, whereas my present tires (195/55/15) are 84. Will this make any difference, what is recommended for the EK9 ? Cheers Chris

    Wet weather tyre

    I know there are a lot of threads relating to tyre choices and I've read what feels like all of them and still not been able to come to a conclusion. I've just got my EK9 back from service and MOT and the only thing mentioned was tyres running a bit low, which of course I knew anyway. As...

    Service/Cambelt

    Hi guys, I'm sure most of this is covered elsewhere but I wasn't sure which area to try. I've had my Black 98 EK9 for 6 months now and it's just come to 60k so looking to have the cambelt changed as I don't think it has been done prior to import. I'm looking at getting a Toda one, has...

    Finally found one.

    Big thanks to Luke at Tegiwa Imports for finding me a black facelift EK9. Looks pretty standard apart from some huge exhaust system. Pics on the way soon. I cannot explain the child like glee that has come over me in anticipation of driving it !

    Anyone driven an RX-7 ?

    One of my mates and me are looking for something for the track. I don't want to use my EK9 when it arrives as I don't want to ruin it, and we've been looking to buy an RX-7. With prices now as little as £4k in some cases I'm thinking it would be a pretty good base car. Has anyone got any...

    J's Racing / Mugen sizes

    Can anybody tell what sizes the bore/diameter of the two induction pipes are at the end where the filter connects ? Basically I want to know if I could put the Mugen box on the end of the J's 'whale dick' to create the ultimate air intake ?

    Grade R cars.

    Has anyone imported a grade R i.e. a repair from Japan ? Or are you all more patient than me and waited for a better example to come along. I'm itching to get my 9 , but the only black one available is an R. Any info would be great.

    Del Sol Vti - spares/repairs/breaking

    On wednesday I started up the lil Del Sol getting it ready to sell to buy my EK9. Unfortunately the transtop took it on itself to break - not a happy bunny. As I don't now have the time to get this sorted I'm going to sell it as it is. It's a '93 UK Vti with a B16A2 with around 68k miles on...
