Why did you buy an EK9?


always seemed to want an ek9 and that fact that they are so rare i had to have one in my life at some point. oh and the fact that a 1.6 produces 185bhp amazes me so i have a high reving car at 8600rpm and a high reving honda bike at 19000rpm lol
 
Im STILL trying to punt my old car ive been messed around twice!!!! Hopefully get there soon enough! I cant wait to get my EK9 got my heart set on it!!!!
 
Well all started when I started running in Autocross

imagine changing from a 280 hp AWD to a 185 hp car hehe
lol you have some idea of how i feel but not as much:D

i changed from a 320bhp awd for my ek9 :nerv:

ek9s are not fast cars but they come into their own on the bends:nice:

its just a pity honda didnt make them a factory 220bhp!!
 
Up until a month ago I hadnt even seen one in the flesh, after one test drive I had to have it! Just been for a b-road blast today, handling is sublime. My other car (mk1 clio turbo) would blow it to the weeds after 50mph in a straight line, it has coilovers but its not even close with the 9 for handling, and the EK9 has loads more feel, a drive to tescos is even exciting! Fantastic exhaust note, a car that has a major grin factor just sitting in it. Im hooked!

can i give your clio a go in a straight line???:nice:
 
i was looking for a dc2 , saw an ek9 12 miles away from my house for sale one lady owners
drove it and then said to my self i dont to drive my own car any more that was a saxo vts at the time
 
Some nice storys ..
Ek9s are just too special imo
if i was to get one, id be going from a 100bhp lupo, so nice step up..
