I have to agree with you here.
haha, definitely more cool!

[ericchoweg]

i dunno cf on black is sort of weird but a new hatch is warranted

hes painting championship white soonor or later

[streethondas]

Cf is so 2008 :drama:

Rust will be gone soon,but yeah I might be getting a new hatch that has no rust..

[NRGie]

streethondas do you work for delta by any chance? or around that area?

[streethondas]

^ yeah i just started working there :bigpimp:

[streethondas]

might be getting a k20.. how much am i looking at for spending on the hybrid swap?

600 for mount
1000 for kpro
tranny?

what else do i need?

[ericchoweg]

if you want to do it right you need a

dc teg subframe
a new rad
a proper header
axles
a decent budget for misc things that may come up

[streethondas]

why a dc subframe?

[ericchoweg]

Originally posted by streethondas

apparently for eks it bring the motor down to sit lower in the bay to fix crazy axle angles and binding i remember reading about it on nwp

[streethondas]

from nwp

If you want the most optimized setup you are going to need to change to a EG/DC subframe. Using the EK subframe will give you problems down the line when it comes to headers and intake manifold setups. The EKK1 mounts mount the motor too far forward and the EKK2 mounts center and lower the motor more, but the axle geometry is better. There is a lot of parts needed to make it work, do you currently have any parts for this? Also do you have the money to make this work, I priced this out last year, and I didn't have enough money to get it done, it's around 4000-6000, depending on what you wanna upgrade when you go forward with doing everything.



i guess this is what you read?

[ericchoweg]

yup thats the one

[streethondas]

might just stick with my b16 and rebuild it down the road

DO IT!

I/H/E cams and Kpro and blow away the build you were planning for the B.

Don't forget shifter with linkages, fuel system conversion, axles, etc. Many guides out there, even a dvd from a trusted source.

If I wanted to build the ultimate n/a FF, K swap would be the way.

Not everyone has money lying around to throw at their car all at once, some people have bills and other priorities that come before their car. Stop making assumptions...

[derek_k]

Holy, why are all beyonders so serious about everything, I don't think one of you have a sense of humor, anyways not the place to beef cause this thread isn't titled beef, if I knew you took every comment posted on this website to heart, I wouldn't have posted that

I have to agree with you, I pay all the bills at home and save up to spend on my car... So really takes a while to save up for the parts I want.

Btw did you get ur side mirror yet?

And Derek I have no budget set... I plan to keep the car for a long time

[streethondas]

Parked the car for winter finally.

Anyone know where I can get braided wire loom to rewrap my engine harness?

And finally decided to post some pic.

crank is getting rebalanced and also the new pistons an rod will be rebalanced as well.

[streethondas]

what did you fuckers think i gave up on the build ?LOL NOO ever since it snowed the ek has been parked and it was stripped! I have worked on the ek9 for hour or so everyday getting all the small things done..

heres some pic of the winter strip down and paint

[Deetz]

looks like it will come out nice, i like the fact you stripped down the engine compartment as well as you did

[streethondas]

Thanks deetz! Yeah I tried my best to strip it down completely.. Didn't take out the suspension stuff as I don't have alot of room.

Phoenix Yellow or Champion White? Leaning more towards the CW :dunno:

[Dodobird]

They're both suuuper clean but I'd honestly lean a bit closer to PY, just cause it's a lot less played out. How many people paint their EK9 reps yellow vs how many paint em white?

[streethondas]

^ that's a good point here's all the colors the type r offered

http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/6769/4rsjh6.jpg

[brownboi]

i would go with the phonix yellow, i think it will look sick on you ek ..
i like how tha builds coming along zee !

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I vote PY as well. Looks like the build is coming along nicely!

[Sentry]

Yellow!

[nykz]

PY! Maybe I'm biased cause I drive a PY ITR, but PY would look sick on a EK! :poosie:

[streethondas]

Idk guys I hate to go against all of you but I think that white would look more decent compared to yellow? If I was doing like a mad track car I would definitely do yellow just cause it looks so mean >:-( still haven't made up my mind yet:banghead:

[88CRX]

Phoenix yellow + white wheels.... game over.

[nykz]

http://ekhatch.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/yellow-ek3.jpg

[derek_k]

White, yellow is cool as long as it's not your own car IMO

[xplicit_sir]

I'd have to see yellow as well. Theres a PY CTR in Red Deer I see from time to time and it looks pimp.

[AutodreamMarvin]

I'm such a bandwagoner.

I've always had a hard on for PY EK9's.

I think yellow is taking over brah!

[streethondas]

Though about it last night and I think the yellow is growing on me :rolleyes:

[Sparx]

Do up the yellow Zeeshan, theres next to no cars here that are Pheonix Yellow so i say go for it, be different. Cant wait to see your car next season.

[Sentry]

Well... no Civics.

Reggie's car looked freaking awesome in Yellow.

[Sparx]

I know right, i only know of Reggies old car as well as 2 Legit type R's in PY, other than that its almost like that color doesnt exist in Calgary

Wrong...there is one "EK"...and one "EG" hatch in town that are painted Honda PY...

Nope...the "EK" is out all the time in the summer months...I pass it somehwere in the city on a weekly basis...

And the "EG"...well I peeped it at Walmart the night that Twilight Eclipse came out on DVD...so that wasn't too long ago...

[Sparx]

^^^^Is that Ronald Mcdonalds ride by chance?

[streethondas]

Thanks for all the pictures guys, and yes I have set my mind on doing PY :bigpimp:


Quick question should I get the paint from the honda dealership or any Autobody paint supplier?

[A3GTiVR6SC]

Advance Auto Color.... #420 28 street N.E. (behind regal auction). Always had a good experience there.:thumbsup:

Karim knows his shit!

[streethondas]

lol that where i usually go to buy paint... the guy who works in the back is really good friend from high school. The guy with the weird accent is that Karim? he's awesome always helpful

[ekguy]

It's really a sin that North America didn't get the ek type r...Such a beautiful car.

[Sparx]

Its a sin that the only Type-R that ever made it was the Teg. Every generation CTR was gorgeous and i wont even start on the Accord Euro R's etc...

[Myz]

Dig how the cars turning out Zee.
Can't wait to see it when the PY is complete.

On a side note, what is the actual color of your car right now.
I know its black but what exactly is the color called?

Back home we had Obsidian Black & another, the name of which, totally escapes me right now. :dunno:
It was kinda like a charcoal or graphite kinda color. Very cool imo.
But this is thread jacking so i'll stop my rambling now.:bigpimp:

[derek_k]

Don't worry man, I skipped out on the prop valve relocation too, it's so expensive for what it is, which is nothing lol

[jdmgt]

how come you did not do a mild shave on the engine bay??

cover up some of the unused holes..

I see you changed your sig, haha

What's the ETA on paint?

[jdmgt]

Usually you weld over the holes and grind it down to its flush should never crack

Build is coming together nicely. Looks good

[streethondas]

Thanks everyone and jdmgt I don't have anyone to weld the holes for me didn't wanna go through the trouble, I asked Derek_k and he said he just used bondo on the tower holes so i really didn't wanna take any short cuts cause my Autobody skills suck lol

If so, what was the difficulty level on doing so taking the shot at it yourself. (kinda a vague question)

[streethondas]

Yes sir I did do it my self.. All you have to do is push the wires back through the firewall an then feed them up to the glove box and then make a small hole like the picture below and bolt it down with w.e you wanna use...
