My EG4 VEi *Getting Comfy*

haha yeah i was looking between yours and the pic, they look the same, think the red works really well to be fair.

what was your original plan with the wheels then??

Thats exactly what I did lol, had 2 windows open side by side lmao!

My original plan was to just go powdercoated all white, similar to how the red EG has them. Just thought clean and simple was how I wanted and tbh I still do but you can't deny that the red wheels with white car looks bloody awesome!

yeah i think it would look nice either way, you hopeing to go about the same lowness as that one ^^??

white on white, nahhhhhhh

rock the red and polish

Hey guys, well not too long got in from work and while i'm waiting for my gf to arrive home I thought i'd grab a couple shots while the driveway was empty lol. The car looks pretty clean in these pics (probs due to the relatively high ISO) however the things actually rancid and providing dry weather i'll probs give it a good clean the weekend!









Did an oil change over the weekend using a hamp filter and 5/40W Fully Synth so i'm pleased that's out the way now aswell as a couple other bits and bobs just tatting around with it lol!

I've also got a couple of things awaiting to arrive through the post for it such as Coilovers, Amber front indi lenses, Raizin Voltage Stabilizer kit, GRP sticker and JimmyUp sticker so when they arrive i'll be looking to get that lot on Also need to drop somebody a PM on here about a couple little bits lol!

Also had a quick play just on Photoshop how I want the exterior looking. All i've done pretty much is a bodydrop and ambered the front lenses, that's because that's all I pretty much want to do to the exterior bar possible wheel colour change too



Plus, it's payday end of the week

smaller rubber...de mudguard?

Yer I would like smaller rubber eventually. I'm quite liking the look of what 175/55 gives so will probs look into that eventually. I will have a look into the de-mudguarding. I don't think they look as offending as other cars so don't see them as much of a problem just yet lol!

Hey guys, welll payday has come and gone and things have slowly been trickling in.

Coilovers turned up the other day as did my Raizin kit. Fitted my Raizin kit Friday evening so all is well and good the cars still got the slight hesitation although it's pretty minimal so isn't no major cause for concern

I haven't got around to fitting my coilies yet, should hopefully have them on ready for the Tegiwa day! I'm also waiting for a couple of polybush items which I would like to change along with the suspension change so can't really undertake the task until they arrive anyway! Also had through the post today my Amber indicator lenses and my lower front strut brace I also had some Gameboys come today that I won on ebay, the lot came in a Royal Mail sack, it felt like Christmas had came early



My lenses, brace and coilovers Got the lenses fitted earlier as it's only a two second job really I'm happy with them and the fit is pretty good tbf! I also sprayed my outer grills on the front bumper black the other day which I just need to tidy up the edges slightly where my masking skills have failed me lol! The strut i'll probs look into doing when I come to do my coilies (Think that day will be a LONG one lol)

as gay as it may sound....anychance you could measure the lenth of the coilovers before they go on......i have a cunning plan

Good stuff!

get those coilys on mate

Yer man no worries, i'll try to remeber to do it when I reach home from work today bud!

If it's dry this weekend I might see if I can undergo fitting the coilies providing the polybushes arrive. I bet getting the old LCA bushes out is a absolute pig isn't it?

What are the Raceland coilovers like dude?

seen this at the last meet, very clean eg man.

Hey guys, how are we??

Well, just a quick bump on this, been doing a few little bits and bobs since my last update on here.

Since i've had the car I haven't washed it yet lol! But tonight it got to the point where I thought I had to do something as it was driving me mental lol! So rather than dig out all my own pressure washer I drove to my local petrol station which has like garage jet wash areas. I took my own bucket, shampoo and mitt and used their gun to rinse it all down while using my own mitt to give it a good wipe down, can't believe how dirty it actually was when I was running my mitt across lmao! Ideally does need a good polish n shiz but I don't think i'll bother until the arse end of Christmas now lol, just keep on top of cleaning I thought i'd grab a couple piccies while I was out...

Doesn't know what to do with a few Suds on it! hehe








I know it doesn't look gleeming but believe me, compared to how it started out it looks f*cking concourse now lmao!

As you can see a couple small things have changed.. I've got my Amber indis fitted, painted the lower out grills (Still need to tidy up the edges a little), fitted my white steering wheel and fitted my slightly larger full tin rear spoiler.

I've still got my coilovers sitting in the garage awaiting to be fitted. Also have a spare set of rear LCA's now which have had the old bushes pushed out and i've started fitting the new Energy bushes i've got. However the LCA pivot bushes seem too big for the hole, has anybody come across this with Energy bushes before? (Will make a dedicated thread in the apropriate area)

Along with that i've still got my front lower strut brace to fit aswell as swapping my throttle body over for a larger one from a D15Z6. I bought it second hand as I suspect the TPS is possibly on the way out on mine. The replacement came with a TPS which i've tested and appears to be all good , I took the Throttle body with me to work Friday and had one of the guys clean it up for me on their Ultrasonic cleaner Started out like so...



Not too bad but could always be cleaner So after the cleaning came out like so...



While it was dismantled I replaced the Anti tamper screws with proper bolts and also replaced the O Ring for the MAP sensor. So at least even if it doesn't cure my slight hesitation It should run that little bit smoother being all clean n spangly

So there we go! More to come such as going lower and new seats!

Should be fitting these tomorrow!



Picked them up from a friend this evening who had them spare after swapping them out ofr a set of 'Lude leathers. They are absolute MINT not a scuff, rip nada! Got em for a pretty good price too So tomorrow i'll finally be f*cking off those rancid colour stocko seats I currently have thank god!

Also with MASSIVE thanks to Saifskyline (Nice meeting you dude, your EG RAWKS!) I got a set of dark grey rear seats which I fitted in today, to go with the new 'lude seats I'll probs have em folded down most the time anyway but should I need to rock more than 2 up at least i'll have decent looking seats all round with just the rear seats alone you can see a massive difference! Just nice to look in the window and not be greeted by seats in a dashing shade of vomit!.....

Ill have the stocks mate.. cool update !!!

Mate where's that badboy carwash?!

You got it dude haha! Great for weather like this so you don't need to bother getting your own jetwash n stuff out.

Your more than welcome to the stock seats Powelly, have you got some seats in yours already? Reason I ask is that you'll need the outer rails from what seats you currently have to go onto mine as i'll be using them to fit the 'lude seats with. They just unbolt anyway so no faffing around

yeah I know... Im thinking spares always handy to have a set of spares..im in no rush mate ... just let me know when ur over our way again..or vice versa can come to you..

Im still waiting for Ned to sort me out them MB6' seats..

Out with sh*tty old



in with cooly new





Me likeys them Just need to do something with the doorcards now and obviously give the inside a damn good clean! Then i'm happy Lol, Pacman ghost looks like he's just been caught in the act of something naughty lmao!

Very nice update mate,

you can pull the door cards apart and reupholster the crappy grey look with some fresh fabric

I know the ones on mine were in bits when I got the EG so the come apart and go back together easily.
