I would like to introduce you my ’98 EK4 Magnum Silver.
Bought it at approx. 55000 km in 2002, it shows over 225k today. The engine was rebuilt at 155000 km : new pistons rings set, head surfacing, all news head joints.

Since the beginning, my goal was to make it as seamless as possible, keeping an aspect close to the origin.

Some minor modifications, we can say that it has the basics:
- 2,5” tri-Y header
- 2,5” adjustable test pipe
- 2,5” stainless steel catback
- Mugen airbox
- ACT St.2 clutch kit
- Adjustable pulleys
- MSD sparkplugs + NGK sparks 7
- EcTune Management (VTEC eng. : 4500 / Cut : 8700)

- Skunk2 Pro S Coilovers
- Advan RS Replica in 15 "ET 40
- Toyo T1R

- Front / rear lips + EK9 grill style
- 6000k Xenon Hi-Low

When I bought it :

June 2007, did some bodywork to erase his defaults for an almost 10 years old car :

July 2007, I want to give her another gift with the infamous Mugen airbox. The best intake I've ever bought!

A little cosmetic to improve this front bumper a little : laying of a SIR front lip + EK9 grill style :

And finally my coilovers! Very happy with my Skunk2 Pro S :

In the process, paint of the front lip and grill to match body color

But 17” rims being to big and heavy for 1.6liter, i decided to change the Rota with these 15” ADVAN RS Replica. Here is how she looks now :

yes my vtec engagement is at 4500 and fuel cut at 8700 RPM (with stock springs). I will surely looking for some ITR/CTR or Skunk2 PRO valvetrain for soon.
Before, i would like to replace my catback by a quiet one like FGK or Mugen :D

nice car but i would de-wiper the rear and tilt the spoiler slightly then it would be complete
 
Looks a topper mate ! :) really clean and tidy. I like what you have done with it also.
