EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

[Marc_EE9]

B20 is on hold, again.

Time is passing too quickly with not much word from DNR. I have seen a few people have engines built by DNR, all were booked in after I was, but somehow I feel I keep getting pushed to the back of the queue, even though I've 'paid' for the work to be done months ago now. Still going to see if it can be done by the end of the month as agreed, but we'll see.

"Time is Money"

Check up on them to see whens yours going to get worked on aint no harm in asking

[Marc_EE9]

I have, and I do. He is currently moving to a new workshop, so the past few weeks have been written off anyway.
I've spoke to Daz this morning, hoping to get it there ASAP.

[Tahir]

Marc, you dont want to rush it mate.

But yours seems a pretty straight forward B20 build with not much machining involved so shouldn't that long.

Yeh I know, I'm not trying to rush it, and I know Daz won't, but I have some big life plans going on and don't want to have to wait another year and have £1000+ worth of parts sat gathering dust.

[EE9 CVC]

With somw luck Daz. Take your car in once he's in his new unit, that will work out far better for you.

[Marc_EE9]

Yeh thats going on at the moment, think he's nearly sorted. I still have faith, no matter what stories are flying about.

[Marc_EE9]

Bought a few bits over the last few weeks...

Inner CV bearings.






New ADL front ARB droplinks.




New OE track rod ends (£163, ouch!).




Refurbed rear LCA's with new Energy Suspension bushes.




Rear Cusco 'OS' strut brace (thanks to Dida). I gave it a good polish and touched up the feet, just waiting for a sticker to arrive for it.














And I picked up these today, for a very good price.

I will tidy them up, not sure to what stage though. I'm not a massive fan of them so I will probably just sell them on, but I'll get a tyre on the spare one and try them on.

I know what wheels I want, but I like a change every now and then. My top three wheels for 4G's are Watanabes (check ), Sparco NSII's (check ), and Mugen Weapon-R ( )

No other wheels are worthy enough to grace the hubs of the Speedboat.

your a wheel whore!




like me

[Marc_EE9]

hahaha i'm a bit of a magpie, see something shiney and want to buy it

[WELLZ]

Nice additions Marc!

I can see those wheels working very well.

[Tahir]

Nice rims.

You can never have enough sets of wheels for your car though.

I have my 3 dream sets (TE37,NS2,RNR+38's) and im constantly looking for more.

I was a big fan of Regamaster's but I dont think they suit my car now.

I'd love a set of Regamasters! I think i'll leave a set of those for an EK9 though
