Stanced and Swapped EK

mattmagnino · 12-16-2011, 05:38 PM

Stanceworks,

Over the last year and a half I have built my EK hatch into the car it is today and it has gone though some major changes. I'll try and locate the pictures of how it looked before but lets just say it was not pretty and has come a really long way.

Ever since I was in the car scene I was always in love with the "stanced" scene. It's not everyones cup of tea but it was definitely something I enjoyed.

I also have a passion for racing since I've been helping out my cousin's race team Zima Motorsports

When the real modifications started everything kinda snowballed into the finished product you see today. The car still has future plans but I'm content with it as it sits now.

Specs:

00 EK DX Hatchback Model
00 GSR Swap B18c1
Semi-tucked
Hasport mounts
AEM Intake
Full straight pipe to Buddy Club Spec II exhaust.. yes it's extremely loud.
d2 RS coilovers
Blox F+R camber kits.
Blox LCAS
Beaks Bar
PWJDM 3pt front strut tower bar
Evo VIII Recaro Seat with Schroth Harness
Blox Short Throw
Seibon Carbon Hood
AC Schnitzer BMW e46 M3 front race splitters
CTR Grill
Full stripped trunk

Diamond Racing Steelies
15x8 +12 (with 5mm Spacer so at +7) on all corners
Camber reads
-4.8 front
-6.3 rear.
195/50/15 tires

This car is daily driven. Chicago roads are not forgiving but the car is still drivable.

Hope you enjoy.

If you have any questions lemme know

There's one guy that does it well, and that's Jake from Bethlehem. I don't know what your talking about

Anyways, I like this. I have a soft spot for white wheels, And I'd love to see some more stretch and a little lower, but it's really clean. Love the front end.

Minuki · 12-17-2011, 09:38 AM

Love the colour coordination here. Really clean too!

You should take your own advice

iamjohnisrad · 12-17-2011, 01:00 PM

thats clean as fuck. i would definately daily the shit out of this car. steelies are working imo

FittedDownLow · 12-17-2011, 02:54 PM

clean and simple but does look very cookie cutterish cool car none the less

SKOT · 12-17-2011, 03:02 PM

Works well. In my opinion

AR145 · 12-17-2011, 05:28 PM

Nice wheels, At least not like most people who got Rota's.

padraigmk3 · 12-17-2011, 05:29 PM

pretty tired of steelies at this point, but car looks good. All you need to do now is choose some stuff to really set it off and make it your own.

NickBlais · 12-17-2011, 05:31 PM

less decals, less tire, more low.

cobrawannabe · 12-17-2011, 07:57 PM

Do NOT do less tire, this car looks like a riot to drive.

There's something very special in the restraint you have shown with this car. It's probably my favorite Honda on S/W.

Thanks dude this means a lot!

I appreciate all the comments. Next year is going to be a little different looking at going more aggressive not stanced... maybe some 15x9 with a 225/45 and less camber. We shall see though!!

coolgraymemo · 12-18-2011, 12:18 AM

very nice!

Steinke · 12-18-2011, 02:02 AM

Simple and clean.
I have to agree that some nice wheels would def set if off nicely.

Jamil · 12-18-2011, 04:34 AM

white wheels do look dope, however the diamond racing steelies look kind of odd on it right now ( picture 4 ). your car would look a whole lot better on a wheel wheel with a different kind of face, mesh for instance. I do like it alot, apart from the DR's, b-series swapped ek's are always fun.
