EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

[merce]

My vote for silver.

It looks simple and it really works.

[Marc_EE9]

I'll raise the rear and stick the mudflaps back on tomorrow, should improve it. I think a dark grey might clash...

[M8NYG]

Gunmetal grey will look spot on

[Marc_EE9]

I did a little photoshop last night, and gunmetal doesn't look right on a white car.

think i'll stick with silver, just find a different shade.

[Marc_EE9]

Can't get an MOT until Thursday 22nd.

[EE9 CVC]

That sucks, nothing worse than wanting to drive a car and not being able to.

[Marc_EE9]

I should of rang up earlier to book it in. Never mind.

[Gizmo]

Thats because March is one of the busiest months for MOT's

[Tahir]

It may be the angle you have taken the picture from but they don't seem to suit your car, they look almost too big

Or it may just be my eyes.

[James4g]

mmmm dunno white could work but id go with a darker silver

[Marc_EE9]

This is the shade of silver i've gone for.

[SuperDOHC]

This is the shade of silver i've gone for.

That shade should suit well congrats on the B16B

Put some glass headlights in today, and also raised the rear by four rotations, which I would say is about 7mm. Might have to lower it a tiny bit, maybe back up two rotations.

Managed to tuck the throttle cable down out of the way as well. Not sure how that will pan out, should be ok.




I am left with a spare plug near the throttle body and a hose from the throttle body itself. I guess the plug is from a sensor...?
And what can I do with that hose from the m/c? is it filled with coolant? Do I need to drain the system to undo it?

[callum0892]

Isn't the hose from that you put the line on the hose from the servo to inlet? if so, it's a vacuum hose that you do need,

[Marc_EE9]

I know I need it, i just want to make it shorter or re-route it, but wanted to check what was inside
