ASR sub brace with EK9 ARB


To put the 22mm EK9 rear ARB on my EK3 chassis, i've to install these ASR sub brace.. i can feel huge different after installing this.. plus the bling factor.. :D

EK9 5 lugs conversion

Hi all,

After i've got my wheels and my AD07s ready, its time to put the knuckle on.. yes, EK9 knuckle.. with EBC pads doing their task to bite the 282mm front rotor.. actually i dont really need this big brake as my previous EK4 disc was already good enough to make my car stop whenever i want.. but this is a good preparations for future mods.. beside a real type R look..hehe

EK9's absorbers with RSR coils replacing my old suspensions.. this combination put my car a bit low at the front and make rear end looks high..

There are some reasons why i like this wheels over the EK9's..

1. Size - 15inch, 5 x 114.3, errr..55 ET
2. Price - a lot cheaper compared to EK9's.. yes, who's gonna buy these OEM wheels? hehe
3. Weight - believe it or not, it weighs 1Kgs lighter per wheel.. so i saved 4 Kgs in total..
4. Color - this is the most important reason.. its not WHITE! i just dont really like white wheels on black car.. Jambu siot..


Temporarily, i will rock these OEM wheels untill i get a set of Japan forged alloys.. CE28 / TE37 / SW388

or maybe a set of these..

2010 Projects

Hi all,

Its been a while since my last post.. exclude the 212 and new year wish below.. its a very busy year-end.. plus no mod ever done to my car recently.. let see whats coming up next year..

my priority project next year (if i'm not putting my car for sale) is chassis & handling which is very important for track purpose.. yes, next year i'm going to join Rynn and the gang in Track Day session at our beloved Sepang F1 Curcuit.. not to mention my car had a very disappointing handling setup currently.. below are the list of what i'm planning for the next project:

  • Energy Suspension PU bushing set
  • ASR sub brace with EK9 antiroll bar
  • EK9 crossmember
  • Skunk2 rear lower arm
  • Skunk2 front & rear adjustable camber arm
  • adjustable coilovers

yes it's a simple mod but i hope this will make my car ready for the exciting track day with bling factor..haha.. if this project successfully done, the next project will probably be Engine upgrade? or Aesthetically interior & exterior mod perhaps? or maybe ending up with a DC5 upgrade? just let me keep dreaming......

please leave ur comment guys.. your suggestions will be highly appreciated.. and keep the modding scene alive and fun..
