Ben builds another ITR

[Logger]

So 3 or 4 months ago a certain New Zealand new ITR came up for sale on here. Decided I had to have it so annoyed the owner enough that it ended up in my garage a month or so before I arrived home.

So it all begins here:



Andrew (Wingit) and Daniel (sgntporky) were nice enough to head over to Tauranga to pick it up and bring it home for me.

So I came home late one night in November and put the twins in the garage together for some playtime:


Quick spec run down:
Spoon air filter
Spoon TB
Spoon B pipe
Mugen Oil Cap
Bilstein/Neuspeed combo
98 spec wheels
Goodridge braided brake lines.

Shit I've just bought for it:

And some other toys which will arrive soon enough

And a group shot of the whanau:


Thoughts, suggestions, abuse?

Stock is the new mod. Don't touch a damn thing on it.

[trend.whore]

Thoughts - lol why have two

I didn't get that memo? I'll do my best

Thoughts - lol why have two

Why not?

[Brent]

Thoughts - I still like the black one better

[96ekciv]

Revert the yellow one to stock and never drive it. And let your mod frustrations out on boobaa.

[96ekciv]

Its one of how many in the country? If it was mine it would be under a car cover locked in a garage. I personally wouldn't touch it.

[LS/VTEC]

Thanks mate, yeah I was pretty stoked when I first saw it, it's sort of a present to myself for finishing uni

Yes, very good care.

[Dionysus]

Love it. Were there any NZDM CTR's?

[Logger]

Yes, very good care.

Back in your cage thanks Craig

But seriously there will be an EK9 sharing the garage with these two some day and that will definitely have a cage in it

Love it. Were there any NZDM CTR's?

Thought you might. And no I dont think there was, I thought the EK9 was only ever sold new in the Japanese market.

[slammed_integral]

nice car, worth what ever you paid

[Logger]

This turned up today:


So I fitted it:


Huge thanks to Mac @41 for the awesome deal!

[Peach]

thoughts - give me the black one and you keep the yellow one? Sounds like a fantastic idea to me!

Heh, only just saw this. Your persistence is impressive, but that'll all I'm going to give you sorry

Anyways, I haven't neglected this wee gem completely, even if it is hiding away in the shed feeling a little lonely.

So I bought some toys for it last week:

Some Digital Desisns 6.5" speakers for up front to replace the stock ones:


And some Buddyclub rear camber arms, as once I lower it a bit more in the rear it's going to need some camber correction:


Also I have a few more goodies coming thanks to Mac @41.co.nz

M & M Honda 4-2-1 single piece headers:


And a J's Racing Test pipe, no need for a pic as I'm sure you all know what they look like.

[Zombine]

Where are you getting those headers from? Feel free to pm me if you prefer

[Logger]

Read my post dude, Mac is bringing them in for me

[Zombine]

Hey I've never heard of Digital Designs speakers before. Are they any good? I can't seem to find any reviews of them anywhere.
