Poor EK So did I understand right you crashed it ON the Ring?

Love the ring pics!

Cheers

[Malkolm]

Wow! Nice cars! Too bad the EK4 died, it looked really nice and kinda JDM

Welcome to Hondaklubben!
Any future plans for the coup´?

[Nylez]

@buggs;

Yes, that is correct...
However it was not due to my own fault...

@Malkolm;

Thanks! Yes, the EK4 was a really nice car which drove fantastic!
However the coupe is a better more stable chassis on the track!

Futureplans... hmm...

Short-term (so i can race again next season!):
- Brake upgrade to 298x32mm floating bell discs with Wilwood 4-piston calipers
- Harness-bar
- QSP Racing seatbelts

Long-term (probably after next season to gain some extra horse-power):
- Port&polish the head, 3-angle valve job, high-comp valves, springs and retainers
- Buddyclub Spec IV cams
- Bisimoto V2 header
- Skunk2 MegaPower R 70mm catback.

And if i can find another daily-drive car, then i am going to build this car only for track-use.
So that would include full roll-cage, stripped out interiour, Lexan windowns, carbon roof, doors, etc...
But that is thinking far into the future!
