    No and no. The original company didn't have the machine anymore, and they didn't buy one either, but they found a company which still had a similar machine running:

    Exactly. and in this page from the official japanese year 2000 EK9 sales brochure, you can see that all three models (TypeR, Type Rx and Racing version) were sold at the same time. so i assume not all serial numbers above 1361 are RX's. But it might be highly likely that many of the chassis...

    After owning my EK9 for so many years now, i just found out that my EK9 is actually not a standard TypeR, but an TypeRx special edition! I'm quite excited and shocked i didn't know this all the time! Let's look deep into the differences between the regular TypeR and the Rx version and how i...

    Recently a Friend of mine pointed me towards a facebook ad for an EK9 recaro seat in switzerland with a fair price. I was a bit sceptic and probably wouldn't have checked out after a 3hour drive only. Luckily i was in that area anyway and thought i'd give it a look. and long story short. I have...

    I was never a big fan of the chunky SKunk2 billet aluminum battery tie-down. Mainly because it was not fitting the "JDM" theme. But i had it installed for a few years now, since the original one started to have it's paint chip off in large pieces and the quality and fitment of it is really good...

    If you own an EK9 oder DC2 Honda, you know that the seats sides are one of the weak points of the car, which usually is worn out pretty quick and looks ugly. especially because it's the first thing you see whenever the door is open. I have been planning refurbish my seats since a while, but only...

    Indeed. lovely customer cars and a great personal collection :) On saturday i was able to pick up my EK9 from Renè's Paintshop. And boy does the car look goo! Instead of re-painting the hood as well, we decided to save that money, give the few stone-chips a simple pencil-brush-up and instead...

    One of the nicest guys in the "car scene", if you want so, must be Rene. A car guy with real passion and much of unerstatement. I know him from the earlier days over at the Swiss Hondaholics forum, but his career has brought him from his dad paintshop to being one of the most recgarded high-end...

    Facelift EK9 Mugen Pedal installation - help needed

    Hi guys. i wanted to install a new set of Mugen pedals in my EK9. I realized that the pre-facelift EK9 might have had the original rubber pedal pads as the regular EK's, but the facelift already got these "sporty" pedals. Now the question is: Are those easy to remove? I tried to figure out...

    Today i made a great deal. After getting my Datsun Dealer sign for my workshop, i thought it would be nice to get one from Honda for the Civic too, but really didn't want to spend a fortune. I put a Search advert online and then forgot about it. A few weeks later, while looking for someone else...

    When installing the new radiator and under panel last week, i realized that some of the bolts, screws and other hardware was either missing, badly corroded, damaged or wrong. This happens with most of the cars when many people do a lot of things with them over the years. No Problem, but i...
