There hardly compatible cars, and a world away on insurance.

The Ek9 is rapid in terms of naturally asspirated cars, one of the fastest in fact.

If it werent for the purchase of my house id have bought the Ek9. Couldnt believe its an insurance group 20

what about a 172 or 182

 

[christian rea]

^ insurance isnt a bother ive got a traders policy

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Well get the 9, screw the GTi its no where near as quick and it wont rattle the fillings out your head

 

[christian rea]

what about a 172 or 182

limited to 1650cc til nxt year id like an ek9 but there ugly and pricey for what they are

 

[Martin_172]

EK9 is awesome, my mate has one, it goes handles and sounds awesome only thing i didnt like was the serious lack of torque but thats to be expected from a 1.6 that revs to 9k! lol

 

[christian rea]

the one im after is a 1.6. they have around 175 bhp 65bhp more than a clio but i dont no how they hold there value .

i was going to get a 106 aand 4 branch it and chip it with cda airbox and a cat back system

Dont take anything short of a Grade 3.5 if you get one...

Im a member of the forum www.ek9.org >>> Danny_B16B_R , alot of good lads on it that sure no there stuff

 

[Martin_172]

they hold their value really well apparently my mate payed around £7k for his and its 15yrs old or something lol! i payed that for a 4yr old 172!

 

[LMAN2K2]

get a 106 gti mate ive just sold my gti for a to get a 172 and the 172 doesnt feel that much quicker

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Similar position just sold my Saxo VTS for one and i disagree.

On paper its nearly a second quicker to 60, torque is superior lower down the rev range:S
