Yeah, It is opposite, but still fits fine. Holes line up perfect.

I don't even know if i'm gonna run it yet. just saw it, and decided to buy it.

All depends on what kinda signal i can get with one of those 'in-car' ariels.

Spoon n1 on the EK9 was enough for me,lol.

I'm torn about the exhaust. Either Spoon street,Apexi WS or Mugen twin loop.

Aggh, need wheels aswell.

They have gotta be priority at the min, as i need to give the RnR's back to previous owner.

What other cars have you built bar the black one? You must love this thing to spend £8k on it!

Black one was definately my favourite so far.

I've had an EJ9,DC2,EF8,EK9,AE86,EG4 and now this EK4

Thats what i reckon it'll cost to leave it the way i want it.

Man, Eight grand including the price of the car. By the time its painted,wheels, and suspension overhaul, i don't think i'll have much change. I didnt think it was too bad considering the EK9 was over £10k by the time it was finished.

I have to admit EK's are great project cars (y)

I have always loved ek4's/Ricky's EK - would love to get an EK in that blue, looked awesome in this thread!! :laughing:

http://www.reallymeansounds.com/forum/car-care/107837-fire-glaze-thoughts-pics.html

Ricky's EK is a really nice colour and the car itself is awsome, alot of time and money has went into picking the right parts from the interior to the engine and it shows(y) Ive always liked EKs and the one I own now is my 3rd, after owning a DC2 im back to the civic again!

It will be good to see how Jonny's EK turns out aswell
