I thought about getting some EK skirts... I might have copy you! :thumb:


Im sure you know but for ek's to fit on eg's they require the front to be trimmed down in which case youll need mud flaps unless you want a cut off side skirt just chillin..your choice :lol:

I had a set on my sedan, theres pictures on here somewhere but this was my old car

Notice the rims? Same ones that are on my hatch :thumb:
That sedan is currently being k-swapped by my friend. Today the shift linkage was installed, once the ECU arrives that thing is running.

Tuesday going to pick up my new header, test pipe, 2.5 inch cat back to a stock muffler :thumb:
Also met a guy with a ex/si tranny along with a adjustable cam gear so my mini-me swap wont be a tooth off :woot:
Going to get a set of Tokico Blue shocks all around after the above it complete.


Once all of that is complete I will worry about the paint.

- Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:31 pm #301421 Stumbled onto a ex/si tranny along with a z6 block, so no more mini-me. Going to keep building the y8 head and throw it on the z6 block, y8's have smaller combustion chambers so i should get a little more compression along with the tranny i think i will be happy for what im paying.

Also car is being painted April 28th. Pearl white with cut glass and diamonds in the clear coat.

Getting everything fit perfectly and welded up, Me and a friend bolted everything at his house then took it to get welded and some fab to get some kinks worked out, alot cheaper than them doing it all..

- Tue Apr 24, 2012 12:16 pm #302702 Well going on the on-ramp to the highway the other day there was some asshole in a VW GTI behind me riding my ass so i took off, started spinning the tire (no lsd...) next thing i know the wheel is cocked crazy to be going straight down the road. Popped the tire, about a 1 inch gash on the inside. So as of now she is riding with the 2 steelies on the front.

On other news. My mother went to buy a new car and asked me if i was interested in her car before she traded it in. Its a 2004 chevy cavilar, just hit 100k shes owned it since it has 25 miles on it.
I kept the hatch on the road along with putting the cavilar on the road so i can still drive it when i want to. Cavilar is mainly a winter car, or when the hatch breaks or i dont feel like driving it (around town, clutch is crazy)

..2 days until i get my license back :thumb:

- Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:46 pm #302887 The hatch is out to kill me. The day after I got my 2nd car and I spiked the brakes for some guy who stopped short and they just sink right to the floor...master cylinder was replaced by me 2 days after I got the car so i know that is good, i re-filled it and went 1/2 a block and the brakes were shot again. Got tomorrow off so I will track the break in the line and a buddy has new stainless steel break lines that I might just do both fronts so I dont have to worry about this again. This is after my tire popped on the highway doing 65.

Day off tomorrow and I get my license back tomorrow and plan on driving the hatch at some point during that day so will rip the hatch apart early and get this fixed.

Heres a picture how the hatch currently sits with steelies on front and my 2nd car i just got, its just a reliable car.

- Wed May 23, 2012 5:32 am #305874 Update on the hatch was the steering was skipping and i just bought the secondary car so i have been driving around thinking the rack is just beat...ended up having my buddy check it and it was just the knuckle that grabs the rack from the actual column that grabs those teeth...so i tightened it back up and now shes good to go, got her out for a the first car wash in weeks..
