My EJ9

[ShoeS700]

So i sold the golf and needed something cheap to run about in till i get back on my feet,

Originally bought for the missus, but thinking bout keeping it for myself.

1997 Honda Civic EJ9, 1.4, 2 female owners from new, 142k miles with full service history to 138k, mechanically really well looked after.

Typical Milano red fading to pink

Plans, well not really thought about anything yet, but if i do keep it mostly EK9 type R stuff will be getting put on.

Comments welcome

Looks in bloody good nick for the miles mate, I got one one these for my ex-missus, lovely car to drive. Look forward to seeing the transformation!!

Agreed for 142K on the clock. She looks top notch, the air intake pipe on them looks so small lol.

A mate wrote off his EK, so i grabbed some parts off it.


EK9 Replica grill, will be getting replaced when i get a job

Wolfrace wheels, not to my taste but certainly better than 13" steelies

Black tailgate, mines had a massive dent in it from when i bought it, i thought since its getting resprayed it will do for the time being.


also fitted some wind deflectors that i got for free from new kid


Poor quality pics sorry, took from my iphone

Yellow badge will be getting took off when i get my finger out

I guess the above never went down too well with meny people.... lol

2nd attempt

So today around 9am, phone rings, it was city link delivering the EK Vti wheels i ordered yesterday From " Mattharvey12 "So set about fitting them straight away and turned out to look 100x better than those pish Wolfrace wheels.....

3 of the 4 tyres are ok, but i ordered Toyo proxesT1R's today and they will be fitted on the 21st as my tyre fitter is away on holiday...... gutted about the wait

Also my mate Stub helped me remove the front plate holder, had trouble getting out the metel square things, so out with the grinder, and a temp fix with fiberglass. Getting touched up in a week or 2 when the colour coding starts.
