Hey everyone! This will be a slow build thread but I'll update it as much as possible.

1990 SiR EF9
-Barcelona Green
-AEM intake
-RS*R header
-Unknown exhaust?
-De-catted
-Possible tune? I pulled the carpet back and it's been hand etched "socketed" on the ECU. I'll look more into that later.
-Enkei wheels
-Meister R suspension

131,xxx KM
No rust what-so-ever!

The day I bought it:

Attachment 515674

Attachment 515675

Attachment 515676

Attachment 515677

Attachment 515678

Attachment 515679

After a good wash and wax:





The stock heater motor was shot so I replaced it. That was absolutely terrible! As you can see not much clearance to fit it in there:


Living in England the car is wayyyyyy to low for the roads and speed bumpers here so when I went to adjust the Meister R's that have been on the car for like the last 6 years. Found one was blown and the collars were completely seized on 2 others. Soooo I decided to get new suspension. Unfortunately, a lot of companies didn't want to send suspension to APO, AE (military post office). So I ended up going with Meister R's again since they are a local UK company. Can't beat that 2 day shipping.




Will update with pictures when I get them installed tonight.

nice ef9 mate, seems a lot of your pics are broken though so arent showing up properly

thescr33nn4m3

hmmmm they all seem to be working fine for me. I'll rehost them on imgur and see if that works.

dylspil

might just be me haha cool colour paint too, dont see that very often at all

thescr33nn4m3

haha could be, I've swapped around to a couple different computers and they all show up logged in or not.

Yeah I've never heard of Barcelona green before. From a distance it looks black but up close it's green. It's pretty neat. Your EF8 is amazing as well!

Pictures of the car raised up. I'm getting old and broke my back a couple years ago so super dumped cars with ridiculously hard suspension isn't my thing anymore. I feel this is perfect for me and the car.

Tried my hand at painting a valve cover today. I got all new gaskets for the valve cover and spark plug tubes grommets. Probably throw this on when I pick up my gaskets and heater blower motor resister.

Installed the valve cover that I painted. It didn't come out perfect, but it's better than what was on there. Plus, all new gaskets so it should stop the oil leaking into my spark plug tubes.

Welp since I'm waiting for my new radiator to get here I washed and cleaned the engine bay....
