EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

like the subtle bronze in the cam cover mate looks the balls!

personally i think you should leave the lip black, looks amazing on this car

my fav VT for sure

[Marc_EE9]

You going to paint the lip white?

Nah, as no matter what paint I use, I'm almost positive it will not stick and crack/flake off. So I think I will get some white vinyl, but not for all of it, just for the bits I've covered in white gaffa tape. It looks a bit naff all black, and will look like a bit odd all white....

Rocker cover looks black

Turn your screen brightness up!

It doesn't look like that in person though, it's hard to get a photo of it.

[Tahir]

Definitely look OTT with front lip full white.

[Gizmo]

Shows the colour just nicely!

[Marc_EE9]

[Tahir]

Definitely shows the colour better there

[dida4g]

Very very nice.

Makes the battery look out of place.

[Marc_EE9]

Cheers.
I'd like to get a small Odyssey one, as this battery I have had for about 5 years and it's starting to fail even after changing the water and charging it. As I don't fancy a relocate.

[Gizmo]

Even having a Black battery, would make it look better. Maybe a cover?

[Tahir]

Or you could put it against the chassis leg and have it resting on the cross member well out of the way and still very accessible.

Like Momin did on his VT.

[Marc_EE9]

Yeah that was my plan^



Why would it look better black...?

I think it looks better white, looks almost hidden.

[Kains]

I think it looks better white, looks almost hidden.

I think I would prefer it in black, the white seems to stick out more ( in my opinion )

Why don't you just relocate the battery Marc ? You dont have to cut or chop anything original to do it and would finish you bay nicely. Although saying that induction pipe might look a little odd as it obvisouslly routed to go around the battery Might be worth a photoshop shop though ?

[Marc_EE9]

Meh.... I might.

Doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you lot by the sounds of it.

I decided against a Odyssey battery as they only are rated at 220cca, which is quite low. Most for our cars are at least 330, and my new Yuasa is 380.

Damn it Man submit to peer pressure

Yeah i've never been a fan of the smaller batteries fine for a track car but im not sure if daily use i mean powering headlights stereo etcetc its going to struggle abit
