after i sold the eg6, i had some spare cash to play with

i came accros this light damage mb6 vti for a absoloute steal and couldnt resist ;-)

75,000 miles, and 1 of the smoothest running b-series ive heard



so now im on the look-out for a 1.4/1.5 ek in white to drop the b18c4 into

still had some cash leftover, so i got to thinking of what to spend it on....

i made some 'purchases' and.........

Today i got home, to be confronted with this


























Inovative ek engine mounts









Full-Race T3/T67H.O. Turbo (garett GT37R modified by full-race)








FULL-RACE :-)

gonna start stripping the c4 out of the mb6 this weekend hopefully

well i had some time today so i started to strip some of the mb6

Bumper, headlights, wings, mud flaps, slam pannel, aircon





Seeing it all open like that made me think.........






:joker:





seeing it on the block has given me some extra inspiration to get things moving :king:

 

small update: a few more parts towards the build-up.

i had a set of Craft Square TC-F Carbon mirrors on eg6, and obviously when i sold it i kept them, as they are an expensive bit of kti,and not to mention the fact i bloody love them!





I was just about to advertise them for sale on civiclife when i came accros this

http://www.nengun.com/craft-square/corner-plate

Corner plates to convert them to fit an ek! or whatever else for that matter, for just £35 :-)
needless to say,they will be purchased

Another piece of the puzzle

Took a trip up to see jonny and luke at tegiwa imports on the weekend, and picked up a Greddy Oil cooler, with Earls Lines and Grex Sandwhich plate.


Also got a master cyclinder brace while i was there

 

^^^good parts...GL

 

Update : Big Part Of The Puzzle

Well i FINALLY found a white ek to drop the c4 into.
2 Owners from new
58,000 on the clock. (2700 when they bought it back in 2000)
tons of receipts
honda service history up until 46,000 miles
original receipt of purchase for £7,800 from honda back in 2000
3 oem keys including the all important RED key














Found it on ebay, and i messaged her to ask how much she would end early for, but unfortunately that morning her daughter had been driving it and had an accident.
So i messaged back, and said depending on how bad the damage was, id still be interested in it

post-accident



Bumper,wing,headlight was damaged. Flitch was ok though :-) purely panel damage. also just caught the rear arch too. i took the headlight of of my red ek so i could drive it back,as it was up in wilmslow,cheshire.
















Gonna start taking that lil d14 out this weekend if i have time, ready to drop the c4 in

 

Small Update:

and a brand new Sir Rocker Cover thanks to jonny and luke at tegiwa.



finally managed to find some time to get the c4 out the mb6 yesterday.



took the driveshafts out and disconnected the loom
and in no time she was out



i was well pleased....can u tell



me and marcus took a break and went to machine mart and picked up this





put it together, took the starter off, and the gearbox and clutch off the engine and bolted her to the stand



then i took the alternator and inlet manifold off and gave her a bit of a clean



put the manifold turbo and downpipe on to give me some inspiration to get this done





next on the agenda, when i get payed, ordering internals and a few other bits

 

Right, the list of internals

these a re what i have in mind

84mm Darton Mid's
9.0:1 cp pistons
pauter rods
oem micropolished crank
what do you experienced guys think/suggest?? this is my 1st build

as for the head, is my b184 head the best to use?? ive been offered a b16a head, which would be best??
and what valvetrain and cams should i get??

 

how come u didnt just build the Mb6? Those things are rarely modded

 

because its a 4 door heavy car, and the same bodyshape as a rover 400/45 which is a british company. they were both built in the days when honda was in bed with rover, and to be honest, who wants to drive a rover with a b18 in it???

 

 

love theturbo mani!!!! good luck on the build

 

engine aside for a minute

thinking about what to do on the outisde
plan is to facelift it,and then oem ek9 lip and ek9 spoiler






but seen a few chargespeed kitted ek's and they look badass :D
still think i prefer the oem ek9 kit but not sure on what to do yet
BUT MOST OF ALL, WHAT IS THAT SPOILER!!!
tell me so i can go buy 1!!!!

and the mag blue te37's are dope

 

^--- so sick! good luck with the build man. thats a nice-lookin turbo setup ya got there

 

^^^^ that is a Zeal wing , super rare and expensive
