Default silkyjohnson#1hater's EK is almost back! Pics inside...

So SilkyJohnson#1 hater decided to bring his beautiful EK on Monday to our shop JoTech Performance, to get his valves adjusted and his cams degreed. Couple minutes after he arrived we started working on his car. The EK was put on the lift and the valve cover was taken off unfortunately we ran into a problem as soon as the cams were about to get the degree, the engine wasen't turning. JoTech rapidly started looking for the possible problems, he found that something in the tranny was not letting the engine turn, so the tranny was taken off finding that the pressure plate was grinding with the transmission plate. The car got the degree without the transmission then JoTech put it back on and adjusted the valves, the motor was turning without any problems. Now the car was ready for it's first start after almost a year, Silky jump in it starting it without any problems (he looked like the happiest man on earth at the moment). So the car was already on and unfortunately another problem came up, the distributor was messed up, it was already late and we were not able to find one at the moment. So he wasen't able to get the car tuned that night . Hopefully Silky will be able to get a distributor this week to get the car tuned before Saturday.

Thanks for coming through and Happy Birthday!

Here some pictures for you guys to enjoy:

The wheels probably look tiny because the car isnt lowered like before in those pics.



An Si lip would do wonders on that car. That CF lip is HOT but it doesnt flow with the pearl white.

They look tiny because the car is not lowered since it went on a flatbed truck.
