It Has Begun.

My plan was to get the chassis/suspension & brakes in tip top condition before going for more power and it still is.

The EK9 really is superb out of the box, but there is always room for improvement.

Currently the car is rolling on Cusco Zero II coilovers, I have uprated the engine mounts and the brakes have the discs and pads have plenty of meat in them, so will wear these out before upgrading.

The next steps will probably be HAWK HP+ pads up front and HAWK HPS pads at the rear with standard discs.

I am also thinking of going for a Hard Race rubber bushing set. Need to look into this a little further first, but I am please with their uprated engine mounts.

So, after the chassis/suspension and brakes comes more power. I am going to go for a B18C, that's already decided. I will then do the usual modifications, such as full cat back exhaust system (muffler), aftermarket header and possibly an aftermarket induction system. Then a tune using the Hondata S3000.

So, the hording of parts begins!

I managed to put a deposit on a Mugen Twin Loop exhaust system today, which is due in from Japan next month. I did not want a system that was too loud when cruising, but roared on VTEC and after some research, the Twin Loop kept getting mentioned.

To say these now retail at over £1000 due to the current economic crisis, I have managed to get hold of one for less than half of that, which is a good deal in my opinion.

Here is a picture:
