Hey guys, i've owned this ek for about 2 years now. Bought it completely stock from an asian fellow that bought it new from honda.

First week i had it, i started buying stuff. I kept the D for about 2 months before i cracked the exhaust manifold and gave up on that slow *** motor. So i bought a 99' B18b1 motor and a gsr tranny in plans to boost it. I think it was early august of 06 that i swapped the b18b1 boost in the car. and drove it for a month before parking it for winter.

Over winter, bought a fresher block and a new turbo. also bought some recaro knock-offs and a carbon hood. Then last summer i went thru another b18b1. Then i wanted a change, so i put together a ls/vtec with a semi built gsr head. That motor prolly ran for two days before a spun the rod. lol

Then i fully built a b16 bottom head with the same gsr head with more mods. Motor ran solid for a month before a dropped a valve. So, by this time i was running out of motivation, so i parked it for the winter.

November of 2007 came, and i decided to do a k20 swap. Bought all the parts over the winter, and send the shell out for paint in the spring.

the first week the car was bought, HID's, heliums and fogs were bought

Man, paint, five lug, and a K20- that's a build I wish I could afford! Amazing car

 

nice shocker haha NICE BUILD!!!

 

thanks man

 

good job man

 

saw your build man, looks sick bud! what are your upcoming plans?

 

went through all the trouble of painting the engine bay but did not take the time to tape anything off...

 

i didn't paint the engine bay, and my painter just got lazy i guess. i do have the 1" itr brake booster which i will change to. but im not happy with the engine bay, so im going to repaint and do a full wire tuck this winter.

 

WOW GReat JOB!

 

bunch more parts ordered, updates coming soon. thanks for all the comments guys

i really really really like this car, but u must do something about all that overspray on ur booster n other engine bay accessories...it would look 10x better!!!!

 

well i actually have the itr 1" that will be replacing the stock one, and the whole engine bay will be resprayed and fully tucked over the winter.

thanks for all the comment guys

 

wow, another cw ctr replica k20'd, so cliche.......JK! i don't care! it never gets old. great progress! oh, and leave the mirrors on to **** off every other ctr replica owners!

 

eventually it will be different than other ctr replica owners, funds holding me back cause im in school. i have the ctr power foldings, but have not painted them yet

 

can you please paint you brake booster?

the over spray in the wheel wells and in the bay kills it.
