Been on here for a while but not really posted much, just read the wealth of info really.
Anyway got myself a black ek9 a year ago after selling my wobbly Ep3 which i hated from the day i got it!!!!!!
This was it the week a collected it
Had bc coilovers and some other bits and bobs and was happy with it like that for about 4 months!!! Got bored of the lack of grunt and a trackday at cadwell hammered that point home with frustratingly catching focus RS' and M3's on every corner to watch the dissapear on the straights. So out came the b16b and in went a b18c4, paired with a t3/t4 garret and some other supporting bits. A visit to Ricky @ RaceTech later and a live map nailed 345bhp at the fly i can higjly recomend Ricky for the stunning job he did!!!!
Currently stands looking like....
Current spec is...
Completely stock b18c4 with 56k miles on it when installed
Blox intake manifold
Rc 450 injectors
255 fuel pump
Pfab manifold ceramic coated
Garret t3/t4 ceramic coated running 10psi
Pfab 3 inch d/p and system ceramic coated
Tial 38mm w/g with screamer
Apexi intercooler
Stock ek9 gearbox with factory LSD
Stage 3 competition clutch
Lightened ek9 flywheel
Mapped on crome by Ricky @ Racetech who did an killer job!!!!
New slimline fad and ali rad
New discs and mintex 1144 pads
Bc racing coilovers
D2 rear camber arms
Skunk 2 lca's
Beaks rear tie bar
Saga oil temp and boost gauges
Final gear auto 7x16 lightweight alloys (stupidly rare) wrapped in toyo T1Rs
Its got brand new bonnet and wings to go on over winter then full respray. Its going to be 90% track car so bigger brakes, stripped, more chassis strengthening etc so will keep updated as money and progeress improoves
