First of all hi everyone. This is my on going build of my EK9. I've never done a build thread before but I've read plenty. This is my second Honda as my first was an EP3 (which has donated its engine for this one).
I bought the car in October for quite cheap from Portsmouth which is 7 hours from home in Cumbria. A very long day but worth it! Here it is in a petrol station
Here's a few when I got it home
I like the FN2 seats but I'm currently trying to swap them for originals if anyone wants to?
I bought this car in particular because for one it was yellow
and it had the following mods which I knew would sell easily
-Spoon N1 (which I am keeping)
-Spoon B pipe
-De-cat
-Otto racing manifold
-HKS induction kit
-New GP Sports coilovers direct from Japan
-Adjustable camber arms
-Ported and polished B16B with recent cambelt and Mugen headgasket
and the standard features on the EK9 that will be swapped for DC2 items
-Steering rack
-Subframe
-Front arb
-ECU
Here's a few pictures of removing the engine with my friend
My ebay engine crane with load level
Chained up
On its way...
Out!
The engine bay straight after
Before I started cleaning
During
Has anyone got any good tips for bringing up the engine bay? I've been using Autoglym tar remover which is doing O.k but taking a very long time.
Here is my recent order from Karcepts (shiny shiny) Brian was an excellent help and I would recommend them to anyone. The cat wasn't part of the order, I had him already
And here's my diff
After getting a tip from a guy off civic life to use WD40 and a cloth to clean up my engine bay this is how I got on
I was pretty pleased with the results
I've removed the interior and started cleaning/treating the rist inside the car. There's not much but it needs seeing to
Most of my parts have now come. I'm just waiting on my drive shafts, earthing kit, hybrid racing shifter box and my gearbox back from getting the lsd fitted. When the gearbox comes back it'll all get put together. Its taking a while because he's doing it in his spare time at work for a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol
I bought an Integra subframe and steering rack from r motion so here's that fitted with the rear Hasport mount.
I've removed most of the suspension parts and got them shot blasted from a local guy. They're to be powder coated next week in black to freshen up the underneath.
Finally here's my order. Clustmaster's stage 1 clutch, k swap full width rad, Hybrid racing shifter cables, radiator pipes, intake, EK9 swap loom, 12" fan, ultra light weight flyweel, tucked fuel line kit, full hard race bush kit, air freshener and t-shirt
I've been looking for seats for a while and have finally bought some. I drove to Tamworth on Monday to get these off a guy on Civiclife.
