Default My EK9 on Advans

This car was imported to scotland by privateImports in about april time this year.

after paying for the car and insurance i didnt have much money left so the car had to stay as standard as it came from japan



It came with

Mugen 4 branch manifold/header
Mugen twin loop exhaust system
Spoon Engine mounts
Spoon engine hoses
Mugen brake pads front and rea
Mugen braided hoses
Rear upper Mugen strut brace

Since then i have changed the exhaust to a Spoon N1 Full system with decat pipe
Also i had 98 spec DC2 wheels on the car for a short while




with the car still on stock suspension i am currently awaiting my D2 coilovers and i am also buying tyres for my new wheels


cant wait to get them fitted




will update after the weekend as they should all be fitted by then :D

**edit** i might have put this in the wrong section Sorry **

Well decided to scrap the D2 idea and went for a set of Cusco Zero-1's which i would highly recommend!

Also got tyres for my SA3r's and got them fitted, after playing with the ride height it still isnt as low as i want it but with the mudflaps scraping off Everything! i need to wait til i remove these to make it go lower

Thanks to Parker for the pics!

Stock wheels look better, imho.

Great ride. Awesome to land one with all those extra goodies, too.

Yes, i dont mind the mud guards themselves.. Just the fact that they are painted the same color as the car. And if you go lower, Just let the street wear them down

haha yeah thats what i have been doing so far but as said above im concerned about the paint on the lower wing etc if they flex too much...because they do scrape the floor on even the smallest bumps. :D

Main reason for not having DC2 wheels is it has been done before, not very much admittedly but it has...Ive never before seen super advans on an Genuine ek9 :D

Its different and thats a good thing
