If Im honest, I'd take an EK9 over the DC5.....

 

[Christopher]

Agh!

Stop tempting me! LOL

 

[mini-valver]

Seriously! As much as I like the DC5, The EK9 is more my type of car. Little hatch that looks smart, rare, fast and has something special about it. Faster than the DC5 too

 

[J9HHY]

Each to there own, both classic cars in there own right! Here's some more pic's just for u Bjorn! Loving the Mugen too bud! The whole car was kitted out! The owner took it all off to sell all the parts, what a absolute waste! The car was XXX Hardcore p**n

That DC5 just looks like Paul Walker has tossed off on it. Really not to my tastes at all, lol....

 

[J9HHY]

Mini, before I bought my 172 I was looking at buying a EK9, they still fetch good money! Thats what made me go for the 172

 

[mini-valver]

I know yeah, maybe too much for what they are TBH but I farking love em....

 

[J9HHY]

Think you hit the nail on the head, get more fun to your pound for the RS. Lets hope the people who do own them look after them so we got something nice to buy at a later date!

[Englebert]

That looks w**k.

 

[Bjorn]

Meh, fair enough. If i could warrant spending £3K on exterior styling i'd buy the Mugen kit.

 

[Hoppy]

Think I'm in a minority of one, but I think EK9's look f**king woeful. Can't find a single angle that I like.

nope i agree with you there, horrible looking cars imo

me too, could live with the front, but the back - no thanks :dead:

Those Veilside kits ruin what is a pretty nice looking car.

The ek9 is not faster than a dc5

 

[mini-valver]

To 60, I think you'll find it is.

EKAYNINE.

 

[Waitey]

More of that p**n MX-5.

I'm considering buying it and putting my engine in it.

 

[Englebert]

Great page!

DC5 is marginally faster to 60 than an ek9, the ek9's 0-60 time which is always touted about of 5.7s is an urban myth. ek9's and dc2's are similar, again the dc2 is marginally quicker, as the b16 has even less torque than the b18. The ek9 does seem to be regarded as being the better handling though. So the ideal combo' is an ek9 with a b18 or k20!
