It looks cool, except for the Type R stickers on a non-Type R Kinda wannabe...

On the upside, the gauge pod looks really good.

thx for all comms

i see that my stickers are don't really appreciate and the fact i have painted in white the modlings!

i completely understand i like people whose say what they think

the base of my project was to create an Ek9 like so that why i have ad these stickers.

When i painted my car i had an opportunity to have a good price for the paint job
So that why i don't have the time to change my bumpers for an ek9 ones but in the futur it will be!!
And in France for ek4 96 98 it don't exist bumper without modling except for the coupe
we don't have the chance like the American to have bumper whitout modling


For the coil over il really love them i like the feeling there are not too hard it is just what i want because my road are far to be perfect. They absorb all the irregularity of the road perfectly.
one problem for me, the stiffness setup; In order to have some things good i have to choose the setup close to the maximum otherwise it is too smooth.It limit range of setup! I dont know if i'am understandable!!^^

I pay about 1000£ on Rude Racing

as always sorry for my shity english ^^

 

[KimKen]

Somes News! I have changed the driver seat by an Itr Recaro. It's just perfect compare to the OEM. I have a good driving position, And the support is good i didn't move in it!




Also I have bought a new exhaust

it's a Fujistubo RM01A.
The problem is it wasn't in stock to the fujitsubo factory, i thing i have to wait untill september to have this catback


To finish some photos of my last shooting

i know i still have the CTR sticker even if it isn't a real ek9

Hi dude, how is the performance of the Vibrant Header on B16A?
I have a stock B16A and currently I am looking for a suitable header which will improve the low~mid range torque...
I just wonder how is a header with 2.5" collector perform on a stock B16A, since most exhaust manufacture recommend 2" collector for B16A.
Please kindly share your experience. Thanks!
