Reminds me of my old one, stink how all the red ones paint is crap on roof etc

**boo bar** · 4th February 2011, 07:56 AM

The wheels look good on it bro

**Sunk** · 4th February 2011, 08:58 AM

Nice sneaky plate swap.

In the first pic after you mention buying spray paint, you can clearly see the sunroof for the first time. It looks tinted. Very tinted. Please tell me it is tinted and not painted.

P.S. Beautiful car

Yes wheels look mint bro.
Great too see you made a build thread. It's a shame you decided to remove the Vtec sticker from the rear filler panel. People pay good money for those. Love the sunroof man!
Ill get that spare seat to you sometime soon man.

should've figured this minter fairly original EF9 would show up belonging to a member on here. Good buy on this also just like the other black one that belongs to necsis. I would've never have thought that the new owner would've changed its look so quickly after seeing it for sale on trademe. I also spotted this outside the show n shine and it definitely grabbed my attention. Dtm Banzai's, 15x8 25p I assume? Looks good, keep up the good work.

**DCV1N** · 5th February 2011, 10:55 AM

yea 25p but now 20p with slide on spacers

On topic though, this is such a super tidy little car... pics really don't do justice to how clean and straight it is. Should be good watching it develop.

**Vader** · 6th February 2011, 09:40 PM

I miss my EF9. Very nice.

**DCV1N** · 6th February 2011, 10:52 PM

So took off the factory manifold today man that thing was stuck on well and bloody heavy so degreased most of the block that i could get to cleaned out the ports 21 years of carbon not to healthy for it haha pics yet to come and just waiting for new headers to arrive

**necsis** · 7th February 2011, 12:00 AM

Sounds good Matt!

**DCV1N** · 9th February 2011, 09:39 PM

Sweet got new headers on what a mission must of been for a EG or something just didnt want to fit so had to "Mod the sump" now fits like a treat and 10.5mm leads really make my engine look small haha

**Gudgen** · 9th February 2011, 09:45 PM

**mung** · 13th February 2011, 11:24 PM

ah the ultra tight fit of a EF engine bay... don't miss that at all.. ha

**Gudgen** · 14th February 2011, 08:03 AM

Neither.

**starlet** · 15th February 2011, 03:06 PM

You guys are weak, Ef engine bays are fine. Get ya head under things like late model audi / vw / bmw etc.

Got pics of headers?

**mung** · 15th February 2011, 11:21 PM

^if I owned a late model audi / vw / bmw etc it would be covered by full mechanical and service, I would not have to get my hands dirty!
