Ive been here for a bit more than a year but never got to post pics of my car. I really wanted to build it a bit before posting it.
This car was built using an EK4 chassis and everything from a RHD EK9 that came with from japland with the roof and rear collision was put into this car. Due to local laws no RHD cars can be drived unless converted to LHD.
Only things missing are the rear seats (looking for them) and minor bits...

So here are the pics, hope you like it.
How it was when bought:
Engine bay needed a lot of cleaning, and some bits and parts.
Exterior:
Mugen Replica (bad one) lip, and CF HOOD that was all faded and didnt like the design either...
The day it arrived home for the first time (beside my old EK4)
First thing was to fit the CF Spoon style spolier, and change the hood for a OEM ONE
Then changed the Intake and steering system fluid container:
Then noticed that the fender colour wasnt right, and hated the fitment on the lip.
You can see it in this pic:
After searching a lot, found a real mugen lip for a decent price, so i bought it. Also wifey got a little scratch on the front bumper it and broke the replica lip I hated so i had the perfect excuse for buying the new one hehehe. and sending the car to paint.
Ended up painting the hood, fenders (changed them for new ones, case one of the old ones had some body work done to it due to som damage), front bumper, one door and lip. When it was finished noticed that the new fenders didnt had the side markers holes on them, so I left it like thet. Im planning to put them when i have some time.
During body work
Tried some wheels meanwhile but offset wasnt right.
It was about to go out...
Some samco hoses fitted,and NGK blue leads installed menawhile.
(pic beside my now former EK4)
First part finished, new mugen lip and paint. (no side markers - damn!!!),and front mudflaps fitted....
Then got some raybrig fogs...
Then my new wheels came (only set of these in my country)
MF10`s, 16x7 and +50 offset
Went to a little motor upgrade...
Spoon cams installed and BC cam gears, also new ring where fitted (little oil consumption before), valve guides changed and some little things..
Then changed the exhaust, spoon N1 i found. I gave it a little clean anv voila!!
Then, new calipers and other bitsnarrived: Spoon twinblock and endless CCX pads, spoon replica mirros, spoon radiator and oil caps, nology wires.
Installed those and the mugens, so here it is at his current stage
Now:
And one last paralel pic with my old EK.
Whats to come in the very near future (about to install):
- RMF replica header - DONE!!! 11/04
- earls ss brake lines
- Skunk 2 rear LCA
- AEM EMS ecu
- Tune
- Subframe reinforcement of some kind (ASR or custom reinforcement if I cant find a OEM EK9 subframe)
- ARP lextended wheel studs
- Realign front bumber (never got to fix it right the day I installed the fogs)
In the Long run
- Nardi, Saprco or OMP deep dish 350 mm steering wheel
- EK9 pistons and rings to bring up compression ratio.
- EK9 oem rear seats.
- OEM EK9 a/c besel
