So here are the pics, hope you like it.

How it was when bought:

Engine bay needed a lot of cleaning, and some bits and parts.


Exterior:
Mugen Replica (bad one) lip, and CF HOOD that was all faded and didnt like the design either...




The day it arrived home for the first time (beside my old EK4)


First thing was to fit the CF Spoon style spolier, and change the hood for a OEM ONE



Then changed the Intake and steering system fluid container:



Then noticed that the fender colour wasnt right, and hated the fitment on the lip.
You can see it in this pic:


After searching a lot, found a real mugen lip for a decent price, so i bought it. Also wifey got a little scratch on the front bumper it and broke the replica lip I hated so i had the perfect excuse for buying the new one hehehe. and sending the car to paint.
Ended up painting the hood, fenders (changed them for new ones, case one of the old ones had some body work done to it due to som damage), front bumper, one door and lip. When it was finished noticed that the new fenders didnt had the side markers holes on them, so I left it like thet. Im planning to put them when i have some time.

During body work


Tried some wheels meanwhile but offset wasnt right.


It was about to go out...
Some samco hoses fitted,and NGK blue leads installed menawhile.
(pic beside my now former EK4)


First part finished, new mugen lip and paint. (no side markers - damn!!!),and front mudflaps fitted....


Then got some raybrig fogs...



Then my new wheels came (only set of these in my country)
MF10`s, 16x7 and +50 offset


Went to a little motor upgrade...
Spoon cams installed and BC cam gears, also new ring where fitted (little oil consumption before), valve guides changed and some little things..



Then changed the exhaust, spoon N1 i found. I gave it a little clean anv voila!!



Then, new calipers and other bitsnarrived: Spoon twinblock and endless CCX pads, spoon replica mirros, spoon radiator and oil caps, nology wires.
Installed those and the mugens, so here it is at his current stage

Now:








And one last paralel pic with my old EK.




Whats to come in the very near future (about to install):
- AEM EMS ecu
- Tune
- Subframe reinforcement of some kind (ASR or custom reinforcement if I cant find a OEM EK9 subframe)
- ARP lextended wheel studs
- Realign front bumber (never got to fix it right the day I installed the fogs)

In the Long run
- Nardi, Saprco or OMP deep dish 350 mm steering wheel
- EK9 pistons and rings to bring up compression ratio.
- EK9 oem rear seats.
- OEM EK9 a/c besel

 

Looks great

 

Looks real good

 

props on the complete swap-over looks sicc

 

I liked the EK4 better lol

 

Ek4 FTW.!

 

I luv em both! Good job man!! One thing tho..I really don't like that steering wheel But it's your car. I just wish I had some money to completely change up my car. What are your future plans for it if ya have any??

 

very nice

 

looks good i think it flows better without the sidemarkers but thats just me

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.
I also loved my EK4, i had it for 5 years, and found this.
I tried to keep both but had to sell the blue EK (was VSM originally) but after nearly a year had to sell it. Wifey, budget and no room to keep both toys made it impossible.

Luckily a friend bought it so i keep track of it.

 

Thats one thing im looking to change.
At the bottom of the first post are the plans i have...

 

CTR + Mugen MF10s = SEX

Nice work!

 

Why are you going ot get an ASR brace?

 

nice ek

 

Because running the EK9 22mm swaybar wasnt a good idea and my weak subframe has broken

 

So your telling me you bought a rhd car and converted it to lhd? Anyways the car looks great.

 

its illegal in his country to have a RHD car so it maked no sense to leave it RHD

 

That takes massive ***** to convert a RHD to a gay LHD. But I really like your car looks like you did a very legit job. But if you wanted to make a CTR replica I would have kept it RHD. Thats just me, I understand it's illegal where you live but I would have made that sacrifice and just picked up a daily beater.

 

nice build!

 

if im not mistaken, all the ek9 parts went onto the ek4 chassis? correct me if im wrong...but if you did convert the ek9 to LHD you got some ***** haha i dont thinki could get myself to hacc up a CTR

 

Nice. Love both cars.
