They look phenomenal mate !!!!

Car looks brilliant.

I would get some of the Phillips 'silver vison' bulbs (think that is the name), basically they glow orange but are silver on the outside of the bulb. Makes a big difference.

Loving the car, looking forward to seeing it.

they look good mate

interesting gauge mounting too, better than having them stuck on the top of the dash.

Cheers,
Alex

Yes that gauge pod is really neat. Well done, nice mod.

After seeing a few EK9,s and DC2,s with painted calipers I decided to do mine. Most honda,s seem to have red calipers so being different I,ve gone for blue

I got the proper caliper paint from halfords and over the last couple of weekends I have been handy with the paint brush. You have to get the right mix of paint and hardener otherwise when it dry,s it looks almost see-through as I discovered on my first attempt :oops: I have to say i,m quite pleased with the results, :-D they were done with the calipers still on the car:-

After my first trackday outing and chatting to Alexb about all things ek9, i decided to look at induction kits for my car. I,d had good results with my skyline and the apexi kit i had on that so started to search the forums for advice on the honda. Several were mentioned on the ek9 forum but the one that kept coming up was the J,s Racing intake or "Whales dick!". Brand new these are around

If the intake noise is anything like my old DC2, that should sound quite amazing.

When are you next coming out to play on track?

Stu, in Vtec this thing just screams!! When,s the next beginners track day?

None planned but keep an eye on the relevant section Darren. The RAF dates at Marham would be a great way to get more seat time very cheaply
