Here are some of the first pics of my EK hatch. It’s not _quite_ on the road yet but it’s very close. These wheels are 1 of 3 sets. ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK2Medium.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK2Medium.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK4Medium.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK4Medium.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK3Medium.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/H22EK3Medium.jpg) ---

I spy a jtech building in the background. And a really decent lookin’ EK in front of it with the H22\* of course 😃 Gearhead’s favorite engine in the favored platform. ---

I’ve read all about the H2B’s and I see no purpose in doing one. It puts the engine at a stupid angle to straighten the axles and doesnt seem to provide benefits over costs…IMO. I’ll never run one. ---

Suspension install and Rear disc swap is done. JTech had to put on new brake lines and 2 new calipers (ouch). Next up is an alignment, I believe a little wideband tuning and a few random bits like new seats, putting the grill back in, screwing down the lip kit, etc. Almost ready for the road but I want to get an alarm from First Bass before I am parking it on the street. Luckily no I.C.E. but the CF hood basically says “steal me.” Pic of the Skunk2 LCAs, the KYB’s and the winter meat on steelies: ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/redEKwhites_002.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/97%20EK%20Hatch/redEKwhites_002.jpg) ---
