This is only my second post on the site but thought I'd share my latest purchase with you guys.

Barcelona Green EF9 SiR, low miles, currently showing 94,000kms. I couldn't have hoped to find a better example to be honest. The car is immaculate inside and out. The bodywork is spotless, not a single ding or hint of rust. Underneath is so clean too, I've yet to find a rusty bolt. Was registered in the UK in May last year it's been hibernating in my garage over winter.

In terms of spec the car is mostly original with the exception of some Sparco Racing NS2's, Meister R Coilovers, custom stainless exhaust and a nardi wheel.

I have a set of Regamaster evo brites en route from Japan at the moment. They are 15 x 6.5 with a +35 offset so should look awesome. Also on the plans are:

Exhaust manifold
282mm upgrade on the front
Black Recaro SPG
Chargespeed rear wing
J's replica front lip
B18c/b16b cams and a socketed ecu

Have been toying with the idea of a b18c swap but it seems a shame to do that to a nice original car with low miles.

anyway some pics:





Big thanks to these trumpets for chumming me to get it too :thumbsup:

 
Welcome to the forum,
Always nice to see a genuinely clean example of a ef9, very hard to come by now, and quite rarely come up at the auctions in Japan (well there weren't many when I was looking for one)

I think we need to see more pictures!
 
Did you buy this off a 4GUK member?

Very nice car. I need another EF in my life :( So jealous.
 
Thanks for the welcome, I had been looking for a good one in Japan right before I got this. They do seem few and far between and are fetching silly money when a good one does come up. I got pretty lucky with this one I think. More pics will follow when i get it back on the road!

zPandamoniumZz I did indeed. This was Ben Walters car, one of the forum moderators. Great guy! This one may be available later in the year :secret:
 
Real nice.! The next car I buy is definitely going to be an EF9. Looking at clean examples like this one makes me want one even more.!
 
Nice one .....................looks great Ewan :dance:

Will need to get some pics of my new toy on here :nerv:
 
What's making you think about selling so soon?
 
Beautiful EF an i remember this being for sale over in ireland, i know the lad who you got it off

I also have a ef9 my self :))
 
Thanks for the comments guys! Ross are you still driving that banana a3?

B16mini I'm looking at e46 m3's. The EF will really be a weekend car so not sure how long I will be able to justify to the missus!

B18c'r Ek, yeah the car seems to have done a fair bit of traveling this side of the world and been used very little! Your EF looks awesome btw!
 
Haha, banana A3 is now the wife's.

Bought myself and honda insight mk1 for my commute to Glasgow......saving myself a fortune, even though my work colleagues think I've lost the plot!!

Also got a new toy....
