Hi All


First off i would like to say hello to everyone.

Secondly, Ive been keep[ing my eye open for a EK9 Type R for a While Now and whilst browsing today came across this one Clicky

I was wondering can anyone give me any more info on this "Race Spec" Model. As ive googled it etc and found nothing about this run of 40 Model


Also does the price seem about right if its Kosha?

Cheers

As the description says the ek9 race base doesn't have:

No A/C
No ABS
Manual Windows

I really dont know what they mean with lightweight glass? it doesn't look like FAL or any other lightweight glasses replacement to me.

The interior is like any normal EK, this one has a aftermarket steering wheel, aftermarket shift knob and recaro seats, the recaro seats where installed maybe in japan or in the Uk, since the race base, doesn't come with recaro seats!

Photos of how the ek9 race base comes from honda,

The rear strut bar is not factory default.

For what do you plan to use the car? If you plan to use it as a daily drive, forget it, no a/c, no p/w and no abs, SUCKS hehe

Now if you plan to make it a track only car, you should buy it, you just need to add a roll cage and a good suspension and thats it. It has some nice aftermarket parts.

alright mate hello and welcome

i have been looking for an ek9 for ages that one you have found has been for sale for over 7 months, most mint ek9s sell in 2 weeks max, suggests to me that it is a bit over priced and claiming to be somthing it is not, last time i looked it was about £9k much better cars for less money out there mate

i had a deposit on an EK9 but insurance was a joke, got an Integra TR for the time being , getting my 9 next year sometime, fingers crossed,

if you need advice these guys know their stuff

enjoy
