Re: new to forum, my hatch Welcome to the site!Your EK looks pretty clean.Your car doesn't look like it's lowered.Is your exhaust loud?Looks kinda big almost fart can.lol |
Re: new to forum, my hatch Thanks. It's not lowered yet, i'll be doing that probably after winter. I just threw that fart can on there to make it a little louder, since it's not that fast I figured I'd make it loud. I plan on eventually upgrading the entire exhaust for performance instead of just sound |

He wants to lower it in the future =) which I want to do too. Your hatch is indeed clean, I like it, has a lot of potential. Are you going to save up for a swap? |
Re: new to forum, my hatch Oh yeah, take your time, im just trying to fix the little things to keep it running and going good. Start talking to people and get connected, you will find such good deals from friends you make because they wont try as much to pull the extra cash from your wallet haha. <---I wear contacts, and dam my eyes get irritated sometimes. |
Re: new to forum, my hatch Tried wearing contacts.My eyes got all red and watery.So today I dropped my glasses while riding my bike ad ran over them.Epic Fail.Anyways B series is a good match for EK9's and DC2's.K swap is also good if you want more power.I don't think there's any clearance issues with the K swap into an EK9. |

I'd probably take whatever engine I could get for a good deal - which B series' seem to be a dime a dozen sometimes. |
Re: new to forum, my hatch Welcome and looks good man. |

Re: new to forum, my hatch I'm only familiar with the Type R B Series engine which is the B18C Spec R found in ITR DC2's and B16B found in an EK9 Type R.Those Type R engines will run you about $5,000-$6,000.A cheaper,but still powerful is the B16A (Both first and second gen),B16A5,B17A1,and the B18C1.Those engines should be cheaper than the Type R engines,but still have a good amount of power. |

Cheers. And b series motors have potential and everyone knows the k series are the greatest but a b series is a great swap for a ek. Cheapest you can get is the ls's which is the b18a1 and b18b1, then the next range would be the gsr which is the b18c1 ot the em1 motor which is the b16a2 bout the same as the b16a though its built alittle different cause its jdm and goes in the jdm sir's. But the most expensive are the type r motors which are the b16b, b18a, b18c. |

Nice hatch man. Don't hate on my fart can! I actually like my little fart can (not so little though) A lot of people are very anti big mufflers but I actually like it. In the future I plan on upgrading entire exhaust, probably magnaflow, to do something other than just loudness haha. But hopefully still keep the sound:cool: |
