hello guys! im new to the fourum's i have wanted a ''9'' for along time now just was never into honda's as much but allways had a thing for the ek9's anyway i been on the look out for the last few months for a tidy RUST free 9 then i decided to go and import one as alot over here are rust bucket's
so a mate of mine in ''swansea'' have found me a facelift model all in champ white its got 1 owner from new no rust a mint body and a great base to start on witch all i kinda wanted the engine has gone around 85k not really boverd as i plan to swap the b18c in time, my plan at the moment as i still got a ''8 month driveing ban'' is the car will be valeted by myself every single nut and bolt will be clean as its dusty in japan engine bay etc then it will be getting locked up in my mate's garage for the last 5-6 months but till then i will be slowing picking up some goodie's witch i may need some advice on underneath.... anyway this is the ''9'' i have bought myself thanks for reading guys will keep you updated once back in the ''uk'' :secret::D

its got some ugly looking mugen twin loop backbox if im correct... but full spoon n1 decat il be getting, whats the best induction kit for these ek9s also im looking for some chunky track/road legal tyre's dont wont t1r's looking for some semi slicks if there are any road legal one's im all new to this so any advice etc would be awsome thanks sam.










these are pics from the auction in japan very dusty cant wait to get it back and give a good scrub :)
 
looks clean mate, should be able to fetch some good money for the b16b and mugen exhaust!

Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 seem a popular choice for tyres these days.
 
4x Advan AD08's & get some Bilt & Hamber rust proofing products.
 
Jesus. Try using some punctuation.

As above I can vouch for the Advan AD08s. Excellent tyres.
 
Cheers lads will look into them advans :) what would that b16 and mugen bring if i do deside sell them? and sagib im sorry i wernt the brightest in school! pmsl!
 
Im perhaps after a spare b16b. Forum rate is say 900 for a good one, ebay $silly. No idea if they ever sell for those prices (like 1500 quid)!!
 
thanks for the nice comments lads, im happy with it and i aint even seen the car yet be here around sometime in june, cant wait got a few lil plans for it carbon bonnet new tyre's new disc's what the best to get and race pads? the car will be kept in a garage and looked affter will get as much uk history as i can for future owner and will be doing a progress blog on here in around 6 months, so excited also where can i get a legit full spoon n1 decat system? and whats the best header or manifold to get for proformance with a good induction? thanks guys :D
 
Matt ek9 has a full spoon n1 for sale, any decat will fit it but he has the b pipe and the back box, sounds sweet on vtec!
 
thanks jess but i wanna buy all new u know where i can get from? aint the ebay ones replica's?
 
Will cost you a bomb new. Iirc the b pipe Is about £550 and the rear box about £400-£450?
Plus the decat will be way overpriced say £100
That's £1100 on an exhaust system you can get for about £450-£500 2nd hand.
 
I have a b18c6 going if your interested? Is my back up engine so don't really need it.
 
if you still got it in 3 months il be intrested mate okay il be on here anyway thanks pal.
 
More than likely, not really advertised it.
 
Plenty of exhausts out there ore free flowing than a spoon n1 system...... If money isn't an issue get a j's racing titanium exhaust had one best sound ever to come from a honda
 
thanks jess, what do u mean that there are better exhaust's out there then the spoon n1? thanks dunx il let u know, how good is this js raceing system? thanks.
