EJ9 build up - B16 and lows
EJ9 build up - B16 and lows
So i picked the car up last Feb to use as a run around while i got cracking with my Lupo (1.8t build). Lets just say i got the jap bug and the Lupo never got done.
Anywheres, heres how i got it minus the wheels.
Fairly standard, 1.4 with manifold, box and induction, boring.
First got some cheap coilovers on there.
Interior was a mess.
Rolled around like this for a while.
I then treated her to some new wheels.
Schmit Moderline, 16x7.5 ET33 and x9 ET22. Sat quite nice.
Sorted out the interior with some Porsche 944 seats
Then came the good bit.
Had the engine in in a few hours. Non runner though. It went down to Endless Horizions for some bits to be done, new distributor, IACV and a map.
Got it back and swapped the wheels over again.
Then had a few photos taken for a little feature.
Now, that engine went bang. Big end went. So i sourced another block and head and the rebuilt commenced.
Spec of the car now.

Nice hatch, not really crazy about the 1st set of rims......kinda looks like a VW.
Seats are a nice toutch, but why go with U.S. head lights, why not the CTR's, i think they would go nice with the deep blue.
