Hello all, as I said in my introduction, I'm from Portugal.
I previously had a '93 Delsol, but since I ended up in this forum I just went crazy to "MUST HAVE EK HATCH" (Shame on you guys!)

Then I picked up a cool business and got this one.

Let the mod's/repairs begin.
Five minutes after the car came home, this one went in :lol:

The car has alota stuff to do, needs body repair, has dents all over the place and needs a new paint.

I've been up working on the car since the day it came.
Fixed rear bumper till I get new one (The current one is cracked)
Lubbed up all the bushings because they are from ES Master kit and they were completely dried out and squeeking like hell.

B16A2 Bottom and Head
ITR P73 Pistons

Looking good mate, do you know the power output with those mods applied currently?

Future mods section looks excellent, will be a topper :D

Thanks mate. :)
The previous one cracked or something so this went in it has no friezes (maybe wrong word, I think you can know what I mean) so I'll paint this one
I'm getting a genuine VSM rear bumper without friezes aswell. Only side friezes (damn this word doesnt sound good) will stay in the car

Thanks mate, the actual power output I dont know, but in April I'll dyno it.
Expecting 170-175Hp without tune and maybe 180-185Hp tuned.


All I can say is that the car is very "strong" has great low-mid range and higher RPM's are awesome as well, and way more linear than the DelSol.

Ah and brakes like shiat! I almost get my head humped into the dash :lol:

Currently I dont have Engine bay shots but as soon as I clean it, I'll get some. I think the master cylinder isnt the stock one (maybe ITR) as it seems bigger than the stock.
 
So hey guys, I got the EK painted and with some new mods

Here's a few pics I took yesterday
