07blacksi09's EK-KSWAP build

[07blacksi09]

UPDATE: car is totalled but feel free to comment thank you

Its been a while now that ive wanted to do a k-swap on a Ek, but im very picky on the year and body work of the car. So i finally came across one that i couldnt let go and now shes mine...

right now she sits as she did when i bought her a week ago but as paychecks roll and time goes on this Ek will change and ill make sure to post every stage right here...ENJOY

The pics from the day i first went and looked at the car.



EXTERIOR came with, fresh paint (still trying to find what exact color it is),15 inch sportmax wheels with falken ziex ze-912's,yellow fogs,carbon fiber painted the color of the car duckbill and some kind of front lip which is prolly gona come off for a future mugen lip..


INTERIOR came with, s2000 seats and a rsx steering wheel which really won me over

SUSPENSION: skunk2 coilovers with more to come

the motor is nothing but a sohc d16y7 at the moment but that will be coming out as soon as possible

stay tuned for later pics

made a revised parts list and my total came out to $4,584.21 with a little extra stuff that i need to get from the salvage yard from a 92-95 civic....not too bad less than what i was expecting...when i do my FA5 partout ill use that money to buy my type s head and trans

Thanx...it takes alot of work,time,and money but when you take it for the first test drive it makes it worth more than any b series,h series,or d series....your automatically getting bone stock 160whp with the crappiest k series and that's the element k24a4 just think if you got ur hands on a type s motor
