Nice place that, lots of space

I want a place like that to work on my car, no fun doing engine/hubs/subframe swaps in a single garage.

nice ef9 man. reading through the spec and thought i was reading my own spec for a min with the way you have the hydro conversion done, do you have a very shallow clutch compared to say a depthness of a 'standard' clutch?

Thanks. Clutch feels 100% OEM.

Time for an update. Up until a month ago i didnt touch my EF9. It was sat in my unit for about 7 months away from the winter.

I recently started work on it and got it back out just over a week ago.

Some pics whilst i was at it.

Original 96 Spec B18C removed, was going to build i high compression engine which i got half way in doing but lost interest lol.





Then on axles stands



Rust free sills



Kakimoto exhaust removed




Full underseal. Arches and floor wire brushed back and cleaner before undersealing and going over any bare metal with zinc primer (Masked of properly, so suspension components arnt covered in underseal)









Brand new TEIN superstreet coilovers




Rear LCA's, stripped painted and poly bushed



Teins fitted





As im running a Hydro box with only 3 mounts, i noticed alot of engine movement when changing gears and letting off throttle. I decided to fill the mounts but didnt want the car vibrating. Got some 60A Polyurethane and filled these up







Low millage 98 Spec B18C from DR.Japs



Genuine spoon flywheel



Brand new Exedy clutch



Greddy oil cooler sandwhich plate and lines



Mines ECU



Dropped in



Temporarily borrowed the Genuine TE37's from my CRX, wrapped these in my Hankook RS2's.



Tegiwa BMSC



Genuine Gathers rear speakers (Along side parcel shelf)



Thats about it really.

Done 600 miles in the last 10 days, been really nice with no problems at all
