Default turbopanda's sleeper EK sedan.. taking a bath.. :)



Seems like my integra gets more exposure on H-T than my Civic, yet I drive the EK more than my teg, so to balance things out, here's some pics I took today

The rims that are supposed to be on this car are the Enkei NT03's (the ones that are on the rear), but I dented the front rims by driving through a rather big hole on a main road the other night (nothing unusual for Thailand) so I put my teg's front set of rims on the front of my EK for now

Pics were taken at a gas station at 5pm, when the sun was setting. Most of the carwash places here are done by hand, and a full wash (with mild wax, interior cleaning, and engine-bay wash) costs on average, about 60 Baht (US$1.39) - i've never washed a car in my life since i've been in Thailand.. guess you can understand why

Of course they have better, more "professional" carwash places with cost a bit more than what I paid for (maybe $2-3 more), but this was around the corner from my house, so I thought why not This place does a damn good job anyway.. nice'n'shiny... u know, bling bling

Anyway, its a '98 EK Civic VTi-L sedan, came originally with a D16Y8, then was transformed into a very fast SOHC turbo, and then I got my teg, so I pulled the SOHC and dropped in a B20B with B16A head and did some *mild* modifications.

This is now pretty much my daily driver, since my teg isn't running perfectly yet. I beat the hell out of this thing everyday, pushing it to 9000rpm - I drive it like I hate it (235km/h for 5-10 mins flat on the freeway to university and back home.. something that I wish I could do in my teg without melting something in the engine!)

If they sold the EK hatchback in Thailand, then you'd be looking at one right now - but they dont, so I ended up with this, and shortly after I got it, they released the EK Coupe

I have lots more pics, these are just the ones I took today, so if anyone wants to see more, just ask









:: my friends/crew (whatever you wanna call it) that came along to wash their cars too
