Default Pics of my EK...hope u like it =)

Comments and suggestions welcome











Yes, I know, my engine could use a good cleaning, and my valve cover could be replaced or stripped. Any suggestions on cleaning?

Not really sure what brand CF hood it is, I got it for free from one of my good friends, actually up close, its not very good quality, and for not having rolled edges

Yep, those are JDM EK side mirrors

Those are Hayame cam gears

I have Koni Yellows, with some old 2.5" drop Tenzo R springs. I haven't really measured the exact drop, because the koni's are also slightly height adjustable.

i have a lot of suggestions, but i'll list just a few.
1. take off spoon stickers.
2. since you already have that black,silver theme going on - get a si-r lip, a black duckbill, and black wheels. disregard if you are planning to paint match (which i hope is the route you are taking)
3. clean your engine bay
4. get a heat shield for your exhaust manifold

also, any interior shots? or is it just stock besides the tach? ctr mirrors, poweradjusting or non? if power, how did you wire them up? powerfolding or non?

The engine is a JDM B18c. I believe it doesn't have 1 after the c because it is JDM. I also have a LSD tranny. I'm not too familiar on the specific stampings on the engine so anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

As for right now, I have Koni Yellows with some old Tenzo R springs, front and rear upper and lower strut bars, and front and rear sway bars from a 2000 civic si. Also, skunk2 front camber kit and ingalls rear camber kit.

1. Yes, I know...

2. SiR lip is on its way, I dunno if you can see it in the pics, but I do have a CF spoon style duckbill spoiler, and I am planning on possibly powdercoating the wheels. Anyone know a good place in So. Cal to get powdercoating done?

3. Yep, I'll be cleaning the engine bay later today.

4. I'm planning to get the JDM 4-1 header with the heat shields

The interior is pretty much stock. All I have is a 2000 civic si cluster. The CTR mirrors are non-poweradjusting, non-powerfolding...
