Hello everyone, new to the forum but not to the Honda's, thought I would post up a build up to keep track of my progress and share it with you lot too.
Purchased my EK9 on the Saturday just gone (28th) and here's what it looks like.

Here's my EP3 I just sold:


OEM spec: (bare with me as I am new to EK9's and extra's for them ect)
Facelift EK9 in VSM
ABS, Power steering
Power folding mirrors
Privacy glass
Wind deflectors
Drivers & passengers vanity mirrors

Current plans are:
Sort out oil breather setup, its leaking slightly. I want to route the breather pipe away from the manifold.
Give it a service and changing all the fluids and filters ect.
Fit my set of 4 AD08R's I have sitting at work.
Source a centre console and handbrake console.
Give the seats and interior a deep clean.
Fix the oil pressure gauge & oem coolant temp gauge.
Give it a full detail.
Fix new front and rear badges.
Sort out a few small oil leaks.
& a few other things.

I have a long list of plan till I'm 100% happy but I'm very OCD like that so it may never happen lol.

Here's some photo's which I took earlier and the start of me buying parts.







Here's the start of the parts:
 
Seen your ep3 for sale , very nice car mate
 
Welcome. Seen your ad for the wheels.. Can't believe how long they took to sell.

Anyway 9 looks clean mate. Look forward to more updates
 
Aww no way.... Put them up as reps and someone will snatch them off you haha. Nobody likes to buy genuine these days.
 
UPDATE:

Haven't driven in since good Friday lol, decided to take apart my oil breather fittings to get new one, the exact same ones are £130 EACH!!!!!!
So I went for Earls fittings but they are shorter, so I'm hoping to get new pipes this week but its hard when I'm always working.
I also discovered my catch can was full of oil vapour and it seems the top is full of thick moisturised oil so I'll be taking that to work and giving it a thorough cleanout.

Oh and on a good note my oil turned up, so I'm nearly ready to do my service. Just need to get a few other little bits and bobs.

Here's my chosen engine lubricant:


Here's a photo of my new fitting and the pipe which is now not long enough:
