thanks!!!

the plan is to get as much experience as possible
everything is done by me...

my first time to get a motor out... first time of changing suspension... s.o.


the colour is a brown with a nice copper touch!
what engine i will swap in that bucket... dont know... b16 or a gsr with the option to boost it...

first im trying to concentrate on the body work and restauration process!

does anybody know if 205/45 16inch tires fit without rollin'/fender flaring??
...and i cant decide wich colour i'll paint my wheels :/

cheers

there is no such thing as an EK coupe. He has the EJ8 and actually in the United States there is no such thing as an EK. the 96-00 usdm hatchbacks are called the ej6. the EK9 is the japanese type r and all other Eks were only released in japan

thank you sir

nope... in GER the ek coupe is called ej6 (sohc vtec ej8) and the hatches are called ej9/ek4
very confusin' :/

next few steps are cleaning the antenna hole and welding the engine bay for more stiffness in those crappy frontends!

thanks for looking!
