Forgotten Magazine Cover Car is REVIVED!: Making a K24 EK Hatchback Street/Track Car By Aaron Gaghagen Our Project Red EK started out as Project Budget EK to be the 6th gen version of our Project Budget EG. The red EK had been sitting on the sidelines for years after being the cover car for Sport Compact Car magazine and the first J series swapped EK at Hasport. The plan was to be low budget, but that quickly changed with Carter making the decisions. Now it only looks like a low cost build from the outside. We will take care of that soon. For now, witness the journey to how the car currently sits. Like us? We’d Love Your Support!
