Item - Black Amethyst Pearl EK9

Price - £5600

Location - Peterborough

Condition - Good

Description - So its finally about time i started growing up, so my EK9 is for sale. Im in no rush to sell this as the new car probably wont be here until April.

About the car.

I purchased the shell from Livvy in August last year. It was a rolling shell in mint condition with not one spot of rust anywhere. It had a few scrapes on the bumpers but was perfect for what i needed.

It is the Racebase Model with No airbags, no abs & No Air Con.

It has manual Windows & tinted rear glass.

I had at the time an EK3 with a B16B set up which i was donoring into the EK9 as the EK3 was full of rust.

Since i've owned the shell it has had...

90% of bodywork issues sorted.
Fully undersealed

The engine has been serviced every 4-5k by myself using HAMP Filters & Good oil. (Probably Fuchs Pro S but i can't remember)

I will now list the spec & will notate any new/barely used parts.


Engine & Running Gear.

B16B w/ approximately 70k on the clock, no actual proof just verbal from the seller at the time.
S80 4.4fd Gearbox w/ approximately 60k on it, again no actual proof just verbal
OEM DC2 Clutch - Less than 2k miles
Fidanza Flywheel - Less than 2k miles
New Clutch release bearing at time of fitting above.
New Slave cylinder at time of fitting above

Suspension & Brakes.

Meister Zeta R Coilovers - Standard Setting
Hardrace Front & Rear Camber arms
D2 Gold Rear LCA's
Wilwood 4 - Pot Calipers
Grooved Disks all round
Hel Brake Lines all round

All above were brand new and now have less than 5k on them.

Carbring Rear Lower Tie Bar
EP3 Rear Calipers
Enkei RPF1 16x8 Alloys

Exterior

OEM EK9 Panels all round

OEM Tinted rear glass

Interior

Think thats pretty much it.

I will still be working on the car with the little jobs to finish it off prior to sale which include:

Rear Light seals
Painting Crash bars - Used the ones from the EK3 which have a touch of surface rust.
Painting suspension arms

Generally tidying up the little bits that let it down. I won't be selling this car until they are done.

great looking motor. GLWS, iirc tegiwa do good replica side stickers if your looking ones.
 
Thanks guys.

I believe tegiwa only do ones for white ek9's iirc they have different colours for black/white & silver...
 
I'm guessing your not interested in swaps/part exchange if you have a car on the way in April? Worth a shot lol
 
The colour is stunning mate, really nice car. My next car has to be dark amethyst pearl :bow:

GLWS
 
Swap you my k20 + rotrex + kpro, mounts, loom , exhaust, gearbox everything and some money

Keep it for a future project
 
Wheels are listed i believe. Car will be sold with OEM EK9 wheels.

Enkeis are going to a certain gentleman!

Sorry Sam bro, im coming out of the game altogether. I would actually love you to have it as i know it'd be in good hands then!
 
proper interested in this, so whats the deal with this race base model? i take it the shell was destined to be a race car? surely these would be the most sort after ek9s available?

Shell is the shame. Engine is the same.
It came with ej9 interior and basic wheels.
Just a low spec model :)

It was sold cheaper, so if you intended to swap everything out for track work anyway then it made sense :)
They seem to fetch about the same money now though.

This one looks lovely, :p
 
Was just a basic spec car basically with no creature comforts.

As listed above. This car SHOULD have had a red & black interior from factory. I have put the 1.4 interior in it as thats what i had from my EK3.

These were basically a blank canvas that you spec'd as you needed.

Thanks Jake :)
 
So freaking cool... Don't know if I should respray my 9 in this colour... GLWTS though
 
Thanks chaps. VR6 you say.... that i may be able to do something with. Brother in law loves his golfs.

Send me the details pal....
 
as much as id love a ek9, ive promised myself im gonna take a back seat for a while but keep my eyes peeled

gonna do the family thing with the vr6 for a while first and then see whats up!
