    I used to live in Japan during the 90s, and I saw EF SiR cars in the wild all the time. This thing is even more powerful than those back in the day. There's no way this wouldn't be fun. All it needs is my homemade sushi, for that total JDM feel. Haha

    Worth it???? That engine is beyond legendary, I would so argue the fact that that engine is probably the best maid engine ever in existence, and the track record speaks for itself. My opinion yes definitely worth it👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏

      Just got a EK hatch, never had one when I was younger, Gunna source a b18c and drop it in. Don’t care about power, I just want a easy car to restore and enjoy. I’ve already done the “fast cars” part of my life, just got my son an IS300 And he’s loving the hunt for JDM Altezza stuff.
      I was thinking of doing a k20, but I want the engine to be period correct, so a spooned out B18 would be nice with a OEM type R yellow and OEM CX interior.
      Looking forward to it, the EK I got is a 1 owner FULLY stock, so I think that’s pretty awesome too

    • @ambidexstress

      @ambidexstress  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Team Ghast no problem bro you should definetly post that install of grill on TH-cam and I recommend getting the 98-99 spec type r becuase the transmission comes with a 4.7 final drive but either one will work for you I’m going to be posting some new videos this weekend so stay tuned🙌🏽
