Ride of the Month,
April 2007

Mint:
Right im trying to figure out what to ask you first...
Ammar:
How bout "whats your name?"
Mint:
Hey, Who's doing the interview here?

Mint:
So how long you been working on this car now?
Ammar:
Well, i'd say February onwards.. actually, September 2006 onwards, The b16 was dropped in and transmission converted to manual. That was the first major mod apart from the wheels.

Mint:
So a wee while, Im guessing you already had a vision in mind of what you were aiming for?
Ammar:
Yeah i had all the ek9 bits lying about since March 2006. The plan was always to get it resprayed in starlight black and ek9 lips grill and spoiler fitted. The inspiration for painting it starlight black came from the trikmods ek9.

Mint:
Yeah? So like a clean 'JDM' look to it. So whats the future plans you got in mind for the bad boy?
Ammar:
Yeah clean jdm look was always the idea, and the gold rims just go perfect against the black paintwork. The polished lip gives it that something extra when your cruising along the motorway!

Future plans are to get the 300mm front brakes fitted, Skunk2 lca's and rear lower tie bar fitted, get the manifold back exhaust system fitted, oh and swap over the (11 year old) wind deflectors for the nice new ones!

Mint:
So what is it? an EK3?..
Ammar:
Heres the cool bit, its a December 1995 JDM EK3, one of the first EK hatches to be made

Mint:
Thats pretty random. Well all the best with the EK3. And nice one on becoming Hondatech's first Ride of the Month! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Ammar:
Why thank you very much Mr President!
And can I just say thanks to Gerry @ PerformanceTek & Imy for all the hard work, and Linz for all the discounted parts
