Hey !

I'm new on HT. My name is Nicolas and i live in France. First of all sorry if my English is bad, i try to do my best but you know ... I'm French ...

I wanted to show you my EK4 which is my 2nd Honda.

Before this one i owned an EK3. Here are few pics:





I liked this car but after 2 years i wanted to change for something a bit more powerful. Here is the EK4, the day i got it:











After a few months i installed an EK9 carpet, EK9 door panels, EK9 shift boot and ****:



More parts and more fun: ASR subframe + EK9 swaybar + skunk2 LCA



Then i decided to install EK9 brakes on it:





And finally, on the road again with its ITR rims:



At the moment, my head gasket is saying good bye
So i'm gonna start the rebuild of my B16 soon with some minor mods.

Hereafter is a sum-up of my current setup.

Thank you for reading me.

ek9 carpet is so sexy. good luck with the build.

 

Thx !

It's my 1st build, I hope everything will be ok.

 

looking good, good luck with the build.

 

Nice cars. No rear crash beam on the EK4?

 

Not on 96' 98' versions and I'm not sure if there is one on 99' 00' versions ...

I have an EK9 one at home, just have to install it ... like a dozen of other stuffs

 

looks great man, ek9 brakes was the biggest upgrade !!

why not get a b18 bottom end, build it stronger, than put your b16 head on it..?

 

I don't have the budget to buy a B18 ...

In France we only have B18C4 and B18C6 and they are just so expensive that it is cheaper to transform my B16 into B17 !

 

source a b16b ctr block, you can install a b18 crank

or buy my b18c5 usdm itr block, needs a rebuild so its inexpensive, and good for you since your rebuilding

 

The B16B is more expensive than a B18 ...

In fact I already bought a B17 crank and rods. I want to do something a bit "exclusive" in France. Most of people i discussed with, didn't know that B17 exists ...

 

nice ek!
