So i have been through alot with the ek. Went through the whole "replica" wheel choice.

XXR 521






Genuine Parts started to pop up everywhere. These were all purchased at different times. From the first few years of ownership till now.











Went through an engine swap, which my wife bought me for xmas (with a few headaches along the way)







I could count how many times i went on a tow truck with my hands in the space of 1-2 months







Bought some new wheels.
Work CR01 15x8.5 +13



They sat in the house for about 2years. Never ran them because they were too aggressive for the car. Bought them when i was into the whole "stance" scene. I will be getting another set soon, but less aggressive.


Most recent additions to the EK.

Got my hands on my fave wheel design.
Advan RG 15x7.5 +27



Next thing to cross off my "to do" list is a respray on the Ek. I will be going with either Championship White, Pheonix Yellow or some sort of Gun Metal Grey.


Well thats my long winded build thread. It has been compressed abit. Hope to catch up and meet the rest of CITR members at future meets.

Stay tuned for a few updates to come.

Cheers for reading,
Neil

Thanks! Still alot of work to go. Engine is standard, so i will be looking at doing something with that soon.
I wish i ran them too. Was sad to see them go without even putting them on the car. But like i said, the specs i chose was way too aggressive. Would have had to run alot of camber to make em fit. Would chew through a set of tyres each month. And be a massive defect magnet.
I will be getting another set of CR01's in the near future, probably in the same specs as my Advans.

Thanks mate! Still need to take it to a trackday. Been itching for one since day one.
RS3's are 195/50

Welcome Neil, car looks great!

Thankyou!

Congratulations on nearly 8 years of ownership. This year also marks 8 years of ownership for my EK.

Thanks! 8yrs and first car i bought. Hopefully another 8yrs. Haha
