EK9 "Wannabe" from Brazil


Thanks for the replies !!!
And yes, I worked on this car for two years, an did everything myself from zero.
I did the paintjob, redid the floor carpet, seat rails, all the bushing, the suspension, build the entire engine, the entire engine harness from zero, shaved the bay, etc ... So you guys can imagine how happy I am now. This is my son, my creation, I know every bolt and wire that run on it.
My goal is a trackday car with aprox. 300whp, so I still have a lot to do, but I'm happy with the results so far.
 
Looks brilliant mate, must be rapid. Really like the dash material, really unique :)
 
looks great mate, very nice car.

:nice:

love the flocked dashboard very nice touch, only thing i'd change is the wheel size. 16" MAX on a civic IMO but it ain't my car :D

It's a little big indeed, but is what I could find for a cheap price in here that looks good and could fit my Spoon calipers. My plans are 16 volk CE28N this year. Mine are kyowa's, and cost less than 1/4 of the volk. But I want the real deal.

Those are Kyowa KR206 17x7 offset 42 and the tyres are Toyo R888 205/40 R17.
It doesn't clear the monoblock calipers by less than 1mm, so I'm using a 5mm spacer. I'm thinking on swap it by a 3mm.
