I purchased this for myself in December for Christmas, had it insured for the week then its been off the road untill i gain my 1 year ncb on my current Civic's insurance policy, Which will be the 24th of this month :dance:

The car was owned by 2 users on here, one of them "Aleex" the other "Ashley"

So far all ive owned is Hondas so its great to finally own the supreme ek9 :))
My current list is.
5 door 1.4 se 99 Civic in milano red.
Honda civic coupe 1.6 Lsi in milano red.
Honda CRX Del sol SIR. 1.6 Yet again in milano red :p
Then for some reason i had an silver SMX for a few months lol really dont know why.
After that was a EG6 SIR 1.6 92 in black, loved this car the b16a had a very aggresive pull.
Then my last car was a B18C6 EK3 in cypress green with s80 4.7 gearbox supplied and fitted by R-motion it needed a respray so i just broke it for parts and bought an EK9!

The car was brought back to OEM by previous owner, i was very impressed with the condition of the car, paintwork is near immaculate and the engine is still very responsive. The only things that let down the car is the front discs are warped and the front tyres are awful prada spec 2 :p im used to AD08 :nice:

Here are 2 picture one of the old owners took much better than what my phone can take :))




My plans for when i get it on the road will be. New disc brakes, is it worth getting OEM? Or any other reccomendations?
New tyres Yoko advan ad08 195/50/15 all round.
Sort the typical rear light seal leak out :p
Source wind deflectors.
I will probaly keep it OEM standard for now but if i get bored maybe in the future i might put some breathing mods on. I have a Mugen air intake and my old 2.5 custom exhaust with JDM 98 spec 4-1 header.
Was thinking about b18 as i have mine from my old car, but then EK9 is all about the b16b isnt it? people seem to much prefer to buy one with a b16b in so ill keep that for now. :nice:

Congrats dude :nice:

Seen this before, looks like a stunning example

Any more pics?
 
Very nice 9 mate, as for the brake discs I'd recommend mtec discs, there a good brand and they can also be got in drilled and grooved as well depending what your after.

Cheers man any idea where i can get mtec discs for a good price? ive heard black diamond are pretty decent aswell supplied by endless horizon.

Sorry to all you ek9 purists but ive changed the rocker cover to custom airbrushed "samurai champloo" an old anime series i used to watch. Little bit more JDM flavour :p

I used to watch Samurai Champloo!! Was pretty badass haha anyway! nice EK mate :nice:
 
I tried to buy this car and just missed out due to working away. I had huge plans to lather it in subtle Spoon Sports parts! Keep it clean and modest if I were you

Has had a few owners now but was meticulously serviced and looked after by the previous owner in Plymouth, he put it back to standard and sold it. Strong engine little
Smokey and drivers recaro is nasty but the shell was super clean and polished constantly
