My EK9 Taxi

[JoSh]

Been meaning to put some pictures of my 2nd '9 up for a while now, but the past few weeks have been a bit hectic trying to get sorted in time for Angelsey on the 26th

I'll start a build thread soon with some better pictures.

Anyways here are the pictures, enjoy!

Yes! Certainly picks up a lot better.

Yer man, it's pretty difficult to find any bad points to the car inside and out! Specially for a 10 year old!

Bit worried about beating her around the track!

TE37 in white looks the **** on that car! Very nice!

 

[dalylimk]

spotless man well happy id say are you. is there much of a difference in weight?

 

[kaks_EK9Rx]

Suited for purpose

 

[nealt2000]

any reason why you've got the pillars still on the driver side?
looks odd that's its removed on one side and not the other?

At first I mis-read this - thought you said they were ****! I was actually thinking of getting them powder coated in black as they are intended for track. Just such a shame to do it to mint original set!

Erm well the standard Recaro's weigh about 18kgs with the seat rails.
Aircon weighs about 25kgs with the lower brackets aswell.
Passenger seatbelt + rear ones weigh about 6-7 kgs.
So yes with a car that struggles for torque 60-70 kgs makes a nice difference!

Suited for purpose

Haha yes! Man I forgot how LOUD, R compound tyres are!

any reason why you've got the pillars still on the driver side?

Very well spotted - hawk eyes!

I guess I just didn't want to remove the main seatbelt bolts, until I have some harnesses ready and the edges by the seatbelt are quite sharp, hence the reason I still have a driver's door card!

Trackday was awesome! I've got some video footage which I need to edit and upload.

Really impressed with how well the car went! The track is really good - not long been re-surfaced so its uber grippy and smooth! Where abouts in Cheshire you from? We'll have to get a North Wales 'mini' meet together soon!

i'm glad you enjoyed it, i'll have to go out there for a look over the summer

it sounds like your car handled it well too, i'm so glad for you as was gutted after your accident!

yeah, we'll have to have a little meet at Anglesey as i'm only based in Northwich so it's not too far at all and i love Wales too!!
