CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK
- Thread starter CHILD
- Start date
Thanks a lot
I'll have to take one. I've been adjusting the height and the roll the last few days to get it as low and also funtional at the same time. Had to raise it a 1/4" front and back and also trim a small section of the rear bumper so the tires can clear without increasing negative camber.
I just got an alignment done today thanks to a good friend. Just got my Toe set back to zero
They sound really good. nice and full sound. They handle some decent low tones but nothing to go crazy over. For the front, i had a couple of XS-GTX1640 6-1/2" 4-way speakers left from my last coupe that i threw up front. (Sony owns my life lol)
Sorry to insult you
but, any experience with Pioneer ? My hatch needs new speakers, Badly. I'm wanting Sony and Pioneer right now. Pioneer only because my only experience from them is just on a Head unite thats in the car now. Old school thing too, Super Tunner III. And you already know why i would consider Sony.Naw, haven't used any pioneer gear so i couldn't tell ya. Im not too much of a audiophile. What i've noticed from friends is that most setups seem to work best with matching brands. Its like they are tailored to work together (which makes sense) but i also know that's not always the case.

Is it wierd if I got a tingly feeling around my private area when I seen the final outcome on the drop?.... I hope not... When it comes to a clean honda ur like a God and that hatch my friend is ur 6lb baby Jesus.
YOU are spot on. Matching the brands gets you the best sound. I worked in car audio and home audio for awhile and mixing things up and trying to get a good sound system doesnt seem to work as nice as the alll matching brands. so far i would say sony pioneer and kenwood are leading...as far as quality goes though i would put JL audio out there for the best. they have great subs and amplifiers.then MTX Audio..
Hecz i hope this helps you!
the extent of my flushness. Dont want to be any closer than this.

Your car looks amazing. You have me considering Function and Form coil overs rather than Progress. I used Mother's Back to Black on my trim too. It worked pretty well for a while, but after sitting in the sun for the whole summer, the parts are back where they used to be.
S***'s getting real....
The FnF coilovers are good for a more aggressive drop over the progress. Progress is good but only for a very conservative drop. Pricewise they are very close, i got mine for 575 shipped through www.jhpusa.com.
and yeah i've read some reviews on the back to black, so i expect to reapply it periodically just like a coat of wax.
yes sir!
I'm just so in love with this hatch, you should have your own shop.
Did I just read through all 24 pages of this.... yes! Incredible. You make it seem so easy and effortless to save and build. Sigh... I need an EK..... I have been looking for one... just haven't found one yet...
