Default 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.

I then treated her to some new wheels.
Schmit Moderline, 16x7.5 ET33 and x9 ET22. Sat quite nice.

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.

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.
