Alright Guys, Iâve been on this forum for a while now but havenât really made much effort to join in and get to no any of you lot so my name is Chris Burgess in 22 I live in Hertfordshire about 4minuits away from South Mimms. This isnât my first build or Honda I started of with a EJ9 were I dropped and B18c4 init and put ek9 replica lips and grill on it and then a fresh re-spray witch was my baby then from that I went to an EP£ again done a fair bit to that aswell was booked in to be turboed but I just wasnât happy with the car as it wasnât me so now I have got myself a well know and popular EK9 witch some of you may have seen in a FastCar magazine last year so Iâ not going to be able to take the credit for how it looks ha ha. Hope you enjoy it!
So this is my EJ9
Was upset to see that one go
Then on to my EP3
All the suspension was done on this coilovers, lcaâs, rear camber arms and a few other little bits. It was a great car to drive but just didnât do it for me so I decided just before I turboed it I would go forâ¦.
This Black EK9. I brought this car with things done to it already:
Volk TE37 Bronze 15" alloys with Yokohama Parada Spec II 195/50/15 tyres.
BC racing BR Series Coilover : Type RH coilover suspension.
Genuine Spoon Carbon Wing Mirrors with blue tinted glass
Techno Pro Spirit ECU - Vtec engages at 5krpm and revs to 9.3krpm, also more torquey lower in the range
Buddyclub Spec II Catback Exhaust
SPD Baffled De-cat
Tegiwa Imports Kevlar Intake Elbow
HKS panel filter and cold air feed
NGK Performance ignition leads and NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
C-West Vented Fibreglass Bonnet
Memoryfab S68 Carbon Bucket Seats in red cloth
Scroth 3 point Harnesses
OMP Steering Wheel
Tegiwa gearstick extender
Alpine I-pod compatible headunit
Black Side repeaters
Regal Auto front tow strap
So quite a good spec list to start on and this is how it looks before I put my own touch to it.
So that is what the exterior looked like when I brought it very clean and straight.
Iâve always wanted to be able to pull up to a meet and make my car get a bit of attention but never happens lol much be doing something wrong. So this is were im at so far havenât done much to the exterior as most of it has been done for me already.
First thing and good wash and polish.
Then was the spoiler tilt brackets
The one bit I can make a difference on is the engine bay as it was pretty much standard when I brought it apart from Spoon intake elbow and NRG ignition leads so Iâve been busy buying little bit to improve the look of the bay.
First was the rocker cover. Iâm going for the simple red, black and carbon combo as the car is black and the rear light are aswell so thought I would tie it in with that.
Then got myself some red hoses as the old one were abit grubby
I started doing a wire tuck just the headlights and fuse box and battery. Ive now got the fuse box in the glove box and battery in the boot. The only other bit of wiring I wasted to get rid of it the injector cables so I got this some people donât like it but I think it just tidies up the wiring.

Had to match the spark plug cover aswell
And then just little bits.
Red washers.
And radiador stay
