Mat's ride : new face

hi all,

a few weeks back, mat had involved in a small accident with a Toyota Unser.. his right headlamp broken, also the right fender and front bumper crashed.. and i think its the right time for him to feed his ride with a legit '98 EK9 face.. he got titanium headlamp and bumper with grill still attached for RM800.. believe it or not, the price will become pricier from day to day.. yeah.. rock the rare '98..


coming soon, Cikgu Fizi's rides! tungguuuuuu (lagi..)

modified muffler

hi geng,

since this muffler doesn't sound too loud and my neighbours never complaint about it, i've decided to continue using it.. until i get another set of brand new Spoon N1 muffler.. hehe.. due to the track-car-looks or sometimes people see it like ahbeng, i've done minor modification on it.. I never like that original piping design.. the muffler tip pointing upwards.. maybe it looks nice on other cars but not on EK.. sorry J's Racing...

once again, i give the responsibility to akub at Torque Gear Sunway to work on the piping.. the same person who made the extension on my Spoon B-pipe and also polished my header.. the original piping have been cut into several pieces and after doing some calculation and measurement, all the pieces were welded again.. see below picture.. after straighten it, i dont feel any different on the performance and also sound the same.. the argon welding cost me RM100 and i'm satisfied with their works..

before vs after

EK9 98 Grille

Halo,

Finally i got what i 've been seeking for a very long time.. the EK9 98 front grill.. damn hard to get this piece of shit.. rare and extinct species :) not like the-bersepah 99 spec.. since i'm a pre-facelift EK die hard fan, still put an effort to find it.. normally people sell it complete with the bumper with ridiculous price.. definitely more than 99 spec's price.. damn.. credit to cikgu who found me this grill.. he got complete set, sell me the grill and he keeps the bumper.. win win situation.. :)

as i have no budget for painting, i do-it-myself with spray can jerr.. save & affordable.. luckily its black.. no need to mix n match colour.. temporarily, ok laa.. waiting budget to paint the whole car (next 1 or 2 years hehe).. this damn grill completed the EK9 98 spec looks.. akhirnya sempurnaaa...

thanks again to cikgu.. he also own 2 doors EK.. also layan 98 spec gak.. he's a teacher (dah nama pon cikgu).. also part time halfcut runner.. his car will be in this blog soon.. tungguuu... (apekejadahnye aku merepek nii..)

previous grille.. local made (99 design)

have to remove the bumper to put the grill on complete EK9 98 (headlamp, bumper, lips, grille)

TYPE ONE

In 2001, Spoon opened "Speed Shop Type-One" across the street from the Spoon headquarters. This shop specializes in modifications to Honda's "Type-R" vehicles and other performance oriented Honda's which include the Civic Type-R, Integra Type-R, Accord Euro-R and NSX-R. However, Spoon has also modified non-R vehicles like the Civic SiR, Honda S2000, Honda Legend and the Honda Fit/Jazz.

Type-One is Ichishima's vision of how a Spoon Sports dealer should be. And that vision is the offer of a "complete tuned car, not just individual parts thrown in without consideration of whether they will work in harmony or simply interfere with each other." Also, Ichishima wants to make it known this shop was not created to sell parts, but to provide customers with Type-One's installation skills and know-how of Spoon products.
