EK1, C34 GTR Stagea
Hi EK9.org,

New member from Victoria, Australia.

First time venturing into the Honda (by choice). Drove my Dad's FD1 civic back when I was 18 but that was just so I could save my money for my own car; NA6 Miata.

Due to the whole situation in Victoria with lock-down and mandatory restrictions; my brother and I wanted to build a project car as a beater track weapon while keeping our other cars track-virgins (I drive a C34 Stagea with a GTR front end conversion and my younger brother owns a CT9A Evo VIII).

So here is our CXI EK1, bottom of the barrel, wind up windows, manual wing mirrors and rear drum brakes in all of her glory.

Game plan is to eventually make her look like this and funds permitting have a new heart!

Thanks for reading!
 
Hello. That’s quite a project you have in mind there. Moneywise: isn’t it gonna cost more in the end then just buying an EK9? On the other hand, this truly is a great project to do and sounds like a real mechanical adventure. Look forward to seeing the progress. Good luck!
 
should be easy enough , eBay grill - lips and rep spoiler and lots of paint and paint matching trims and mirrors etc. split the headlights and use a graphite grey paint on the inside. I used a Peugeot colour for my headlights.

for interior you can use lack interior vinyl spray loads of videos on it, mate even get some red cloth or van liner to re cover carpet etc.
