Dunsys Civic

[Dunsy]

Thought i would do a Build up of the car as i don't think i have a proper "Build" thread

Feb 08

Placed a Deposit With John F for this EK9, Was due to leave japan a few days after i put down the deposit

Around 5 Weeks later it had Arrived 8)

The car had

Mugen Rear Strut brace
Mugen pads all round
Spoon Engine Mounts
mugen Twinloop and manifold
Apexi Panel filter
Spoon Coolant hoses
and a few other bits and pieces

It only took john 7 Days from picking it up Down south to having the car, MOT'd and Registered!!

So a Couple of "sick" days ensued and i took these photos

Then i went back to work and took some more

 

[Dunsy]

Car still stayed like it came for a wee while! i think my First "mod" was a set of borrowed wheels and a quick session at johns with the angle Grinder...Worked well

Then i started Doing Good Hours at work, getting some Money

Swapped my mugen twinloop for a spoon N1 - best mod

Bought some stuff for the car...Wheels, Coilovers, Spoon ECU, 300mm Twin Pot Accord type R brakes

Nothing much happened with the car for a while due to being busy at work.

Work went quiet, i got less money and Stuff started happening again

Firstly, a change of wheels. thought it was time for a new direction

and after buying some other stuff i swapped my wheels for a Rollcage 8) 8)

More to come soon!

Looks like this is going to be a cracking build thread man, keep us posted!

 

[Dunsy]

Nice dunsy!

300mm brakes?

 

[Dunsy]

300mm Twin pistons

Discs are just standard OEM EP3 ones and the calipers are from an Accord type R

Currently running standard Pads aswell, these and the discs will be changing in the coming weeks/months Lol

 

[Bon87]

Oh so are you running 16" wheels? I guess thats the minimum size?

 

[babyface]

loving the cage.. was thinking about this when looking on Tegiwa.
car looks better with the slips.. even better with the 16 jdm teg rims

 

[blinx9900]

looks good!!

Ive got 16s and they clear the brakes yeah, not by An awful lot though. Im not sure what 15s would fit, i think Compomotive MO's go over them and Team Dynamics pro race 1.2s beleive it or not haha

Cheers Ricky, i think i was pretty lucky with the cage, got a good deal on it

Nice ride.

mugen twinloop for a spoon N1 - best mod

Why is this, for the sound?

Surely there was no performance difference between the two?

 

[tico_ek9]

damn that's sexy! but that FD2 is badass in the background

 

[denward]

[NeilVtec]
