Alex's ek9


I prefer facelift over preface but on your car the preface is loads better. Oem over anything I guess, cars come along away, looks much cleaner now
 
here are some pictures of my visit to japfest 2, had a good time on the track and it made me realise a ek9 belongs on the track so i ended up stripping the interior to sell on to fund more bits







got home and carried on stripping the carpet and other bits of plastic



recent purchases

b16b engine rebuilt by sw motorsports with about 2000 miles on it



4.9 mfactory final drive

 
looks like this is heading in the right direction :D :nice:
where did the carbon bonnet go?lol

that carbon bonnet is now on saint matts ek9, i sold the bonnet to a lad and the money i made off that i bought all the preface bits i needed, and then the lad ended up selling the car to matt

my car needs a paintjob tho but im not gonna bother for the time being as i will be tracking it more, no point tracking a freshly painted car lol

went to telford to pick up some uk dc2 wheels and the car was so noisy on the way there but on vtec it just sounds mental!!! gotta find myself some semi slicks now
 
Good to see you found the love for this car again and getting some proper use out of it
 
thanx guys

the weight loss has made it feel a bit more lively, very noisey for motorway use but when it comes on cam it sounds mental lol
 
got things sorted the last few months-

engine changed
cambelt
rigid collars
gearbox rebuilt
new exedy clutch
fidanza flywheel
fibreglass bonnet

had to sell the final drive because it was for a vti

and the car ran very well at oulton park on the 24th of february 2015















now i will be the first to admit the car is filthy, i was considering a respray pretty soon but for some weird reason i find the car more appealing being dirty and have definately seen the car in a different light after giving it large on a track, definately these cars were made for the track!
 
Stuning '9! :) .
Were did you buy your glassfiber bonnet? Ebay? How does it fits? like oem or ?

I just prefere EK9, dosent matter if it pre or faceliftet! They are all just nice! ;) .. But no Mugen lip! nooo..
