Alright lads/Ladies!

Im Rhys from the West Midlands, been a member on here for a good while now, always had a love for the EK9, think it was probably Initial D that got the relationship started!

So after around a year of searching I finally found the one for me, picked her up last saturday and the smile is still beaming from my face! Happy to say im the first UK owner as she has just been imported from the motherland, imported via TGT who i cant fault as they have been nothing but helpful with all my questions etc.....

A few pics of her :D.........

Sadly she is going to be stored away in the garage until those pesky gritters decide to pack it up for winter :(.

Few more pics i took today after giving her a quick clean ! (not enough daylight in these winter months!)...

Tucked away in her home :)
I believe that it is basically standard apart from an uprated manifold (unsure of make due to it being heat wrapped.) Also an uprated radiator. Plans are to keep it this way! (for now...)

Any advice/feedback welcomed!

Happy to be part of the club now :D

Rhys.
 
Very nice mate! whereabouts in the west midlands are you? I'm in the west midlands too :)
 
Very nice car, nice buy!
had seen this on Tgt's website a few weeks ago
 
:welcome: Rhys!......lovely '9 you have there :nice:
I had a quick look round it when I was down at TGT picking up mine a few weeks ago.....my lad will be gutted as he wanted this one! (not that the has the funds though), he was hoping I won the lottery and bought it for him ;)

Careful taking out those logs by that lovely paintwork :eek:
 
Welcome along mate, car looks great! Always good to have another local member join :))
 
Nice buy m8 ! Love it, she is special.
Welcome to EK9.org more :pics:
 
Cheers for all the comments lads! I'm from Wolverhampton. Haha there shall be no turbos/chargers going anywhere near her! never been a fan of boost myself, always had a love for the raw power of N/A!
Indeed DMEK9 i have told the old man to be very careful when loading up the basket for the log burner! I thought about it too so i stocked up the basket for weeks lol!

Few more pics i have! The plan is too give her a good clean up this weekend, get into all those hidden away areas, also take wheels off give them a good clean :),
