Eye Bleach

It’s not fair to leave you tonight with those previous images burned onto your brain, some Championship White cleanliness to ease the pain til next time.

Pink Guts

Some of my favorite things in life are pink on the inside. I’ve been seeing this contrasting engine bay treatment more and more in the last year or so, maybe we’ll do a round up of some of my favs sometime this week. Sometimes it looks great and really sets the car off and sometimes it just looks like you didn’t want to paint the whole car. Other than the cool under hood paint that I’m digging on this EK already had alot going for it, Back Yard Special bumper, Spoon mirrors, and of course that turbo’d K20. I’d love to see the valve cover and maybe (juuust maaaaybe) the wheels color matched to the bay.

2009 Champ White CTR

Next year the euro Civic hatch will be once again be available in iconic Championship White Type R livery and will benefit from the addition of a limited slip differential. Why don’t “hot hatches” suit the US car buying public? So many small interesting cars out there that aren’t sold in the US.

Black & White

Good and Evil, Yin and Yang, Yada and Yada. Just a pair of oh so right hatches.

Outta Control

This EK has everything under the sun going for it, super clean body and paint, uber sexy wheels, offset and stance, nicely tucked K swap, and ballin outta control interior. It’s straight fire but manages to remain subtle and still stand out from the EK crowd at the same time, someone had a real vision when putting this car together and it shows.

Northwest Honda Tech Meet

Sorry for no posts the last couple of days, I was spending some quality time with my special lady who was in town for a little bit. We now return you to your regularly scheduled car porn.

A few highlights from the NW HT Meet

Real Deal

Super clean Type R from Scotland

The Icon

So where to start? I guess with what has become the most recognizable EK hatch going, the iconic Championship White JDM Civic Type R, the true EK9. Such a fun and in my opinion timeless little car, it’s what every humble american hatch aspires to someday be. It’s clean and simple factory tweaked cars like this that have helped push the JDM movement to the forefront of the current import tuning trends.
