it is indeed if people want more pics i can stick some in make a thread or whatever. such a fun car infact im looking for a s1 to save money with so i can buy a house.

 

[Curtis!]

Got this one aswell lol.

 

[Martin_172]

yep thats the one, still in the same spec really apart from new bilstein dampers all round as the old ones were getting a bit tired and a set of Advan A048 tyres, you would not beleive the grip it has with them on it lol

valve stem oil seals are gone on it too so hes got a full gasket and seal kit for it to rebuild the top end. its an awesome car, the dci 100 just about holds its own with it once im in 3rd lol

 

[Carbonraider]

Hi, what parts have you got left for the ek9 my mates got 1 and is intrested in what you have to sell. Since it jap your best Pm'in me details lol!

Cheers Cal

 

[Martin_172]

my mate is making a thread up on one of the owners clubs, ill get the link off him tomorrowi think its all still there for now

 

[bendee]

the tyres were defo needed i did mallory on the old set was so much fun trying to keep it straight it truely is a amazing little car and with the right rubber i have no doubt i sticks like glue just needed abit more power 120 brake was fun but just needed that little bit more.

 

[Martin_172]

yeah it could do with a bit more, the long term plan is to 16v it but for now hes happy with it. was a bit skitish for liftoff oversteer but now its extremely grippy, id go as far as saying it has more grip than the ek9!!

 

[bendee]

haha yeah mallory was comedy with the lift off oversteer they was poor tyres but made for some fun driving. tbh it wouldnt suprise me with decent tyres and new shocks it really is awsome i think the seats will have a part to play tho they keep you in positionalot more than the recaros as i have the same in the teg lol

it is indeed if people want more pics i can stick some in make a thread or whatever. such a fun car infact im looking for a s1 to save money with so i can buy a house.
