Damn you and these clean EG hatches! That K swap will be nuts for sure. Subbed! -
Love both EGs, they're so clean and stock bodied. Love the stance and wheel/tire choice.

Right haven't updated in ages! Alot has changed!
First of all I now have another eg a red/pink one due to insurance issues, Changes in policy's and young driver I couldn't get insured on the ESi, have to wait till im 21...
So the white esi has now gone in to hibernation for a bit! Don't worry its not the end, just keep on reading!
And now have an 1.5 LSi auto....
Don't have any good full photos of it, but you can get the idea from these few on how hideous it looked! Got it cheap so didn't really mind as I also had parts off the white one I was going to put on it to make it acceptable to drive!
First things where to get rid of those wheels, and wack the th monos on it!
Note the height! Tried to keep it at a sensible height with out having to roll the arches!
That lasted all of about a week! Haha
Then it turned out I had to put the duckbill spoiler on as it just didn't look right with out one!
I then rolled like that for a few months! Until Recently! You'll see at the end of the post!
Moving on To the white EG
First things where to buy some larger dishes for the BBS's so now gonna have the 8j up front and the new 9j at the back!
Just having a test fit to see the fitment, maybe gonna add a 10 or 5mm spacer to that will see when its done!
Started to get a bit of a wheel whore!
Yummmmm Dish! Need to get the polish out for the 8j though!
After these bought a meister R Big brake kit! slight difference haha! You'll see why ill be needing these!
So the big project is going to start now!
Stuck a deal to grab up a k20 cheap which includes pretty much everything needed for a swap! So the white EG is now going to be k20'd while its hibernating!
So will be picking that up on the 14th of this month (payday) then things will really get going!
Can't wait to have this back on the roads again now! Gonna be one hell of a beast!
Now back to the Red one!
Last week picked up another set of wheels!
So you can see where this is going!
Booom!
Needs a respray to get rid of the pinkness, hopefully will be having that done soon along with the wheels being resprayed white!
I did however get some issues, as needed spacers to clear the calipers on the front, so put 5mm on there. But then thought the rears looked a little lost, and I only had 10mm spacers which then meant they rubbed a bit! And being a daily didn't really want that all the time!
But fear not! Got the archer roller back out yesterday! Rolled the lip nice and flat! and its all good now!
Sheds not big enough for the both of them!
And here is the fitment now!
Also did some little touches like black badges and smoked corners
Not sure on the smoked corners though, i reckon smoked ambers would look the tits!
Smoked spare set of rear lights aswell but didn't go that great so going to do them again!
I reckon the smoked light would look good on freshly sprayed red when I get it done though so just gonna leave it!
Seriously need a splitter though aswell!
So yeah that's it, ill try and keep it up to date from now on! Especailly with the K20 project starting soon!
