EK's

[Turkish]

 

[chriscummins7]

pure p**n

 

[Firas]

some lovely examples here. Love the backyard special front bumpers. shame they cost about 1k.

 

[Nashy]

Bloody fantastic!! This will deffo be my next car!!

 

[aucky]

Yum

 

[jamesybear]

deffo on my list of cars to own/next car to own!

 

[Turkish]

If everything falls into place with the sale of my 182 and the tidy EK9 I've seen for sale I will be in one before the month is out.

 

[Firas]

good move turkish. Im sure you wont regret it.

 

[Nafoff]

very nice...
turk, you seen my workmates one up for sale? its only a 1.4 but a great start and ripe for an engine conversion

 

[Turkish]

Would be a bad move for me tbh fella. I'd sink minimum 10k into it if I started down the road of K swap, seam welding and JDM bling. At least if I pick up an EK9 I wont have the urge to spend money I don't have the second I collect it.

 

[cliobritt]

172 would smash them on the twisties...............

 

[Englebert]

Few nice ones...some not so good.

 

[Bjorn]

Love the candy red one on MF10's

 

[mat-nos]

some of those are sexual, some are questionable but each to there own and all that........

i WILL own an ek9 one day!!

 

[chris_p]

Oh dear, these have fallen into the CS bumming car list along with the Dc5, r32, m3 etc!

Looks wise, they're nothing special? Typical little tin jap cans, they do have some road presence in white though it has to be said.
I bet most the people in this thread bumming them hasn't even driven one! I haven't either yet, so can't judge them too hard as that's what they're all about. Low torque, good top end power, could be fun, could be awful...!

 

[Skinny]

Awesome.


Dude across the road from me got an EK while i was away. Really coming along nicely. It's going to turn into something awesome. Lovely to watch a car transform over time into something awesome.

There are some amazing ones in Cali with brilliantly executed and chosen mods.

As for the drive again it's personal choice but having driven one I loved it. LSD, double wishbone suspension, seam welded shell etc.

 

[Tombo]

i had a vti-s a few years back with the ek9 type r cams, inlet, injectors etc. so it went pretty much as the ek9 and i have to be honest, when it came into vtec it was an animal, i will be honest.... much quickker thank my current 172, only problem was the car was a bit of a sh**er!!
in immaculate condition these cars are beautiful and as for the honda engine 185bhp out of a 1.6 in the ek9.... mighty impressive.






some of my old junk

 

[jamboyscott]

just amazing i would love to own a ek9

 

[JCC]

Love EKs, exactly what I'd be driving if anything ever happened to the 200/the insurance got too expensive. Probably a coupe though.

 

[SteveS Cup]

I can't say one of those EK's does it for me... I'll find some pics of my sorta EK.

Can only be an EK9... no matter what you're running in your granny spec EK, it's just not a Type R is it!!!

 

[JCC]

Granny spec? Some EK4 VTIs would surprise you in your 172!

 

[JamesT87]

heres my old coupe

Enjoy

 

[JamesT87]

ooh and some interior shots Ek9'd all round yo

10K! Nicest cluster ever though!

I have a full project thread for it if anyone wants to see it?

Some would kill me... This just makes no difference imo.

Some of my mates are well into their Honda's... I appreciate them and love the Type R's... just not anything else for me though.

 

[SteveS Cup]

That Coupe on RX's with the Recaro's is lush!

 

[JamesT87]

That Coupe on RX's with the Recaro's is lush!

Cheers mate thats my old one. I got rid for my trophy kinda miss it lol!

 

[JCC]

That coupe is stunning James! They're just that little bit cooler than hatchbacks IMO.

 

[Firas]

Nice coupe man. What happened to the kevlar splitter on the backyard special bumper or was it a replica bumper?

 

[david_]

These are fine cars...I personally prefer EG if I would have to chose.

 

[Ian_182]

Some lovely cars and some shitters.I cant get used to some of the broken suspension stances coming out now.in the whole though some real nice efforts

I just wonder how drivable some of these cars would be on our roads.Its a far cry from calafornia...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

calafornia roads are exactly like ours tbh, some good some bad.

 

[Ian_182]

Must be a s**t ride then,Just the look people go for...

 

[cliobritt]

 

[WTFRage360]

[cliobritt]

[ch!ppen]

Couple of my mates...

Bobble's old EK:

Nick's Coupe, perhaps not to some's taste but he's owned this car longer than i've been driving and it's pretty epic some of the mod's:

 

[cliobritt]

could you ask where he got the carbon boot and hood please?

 

[ch!ppen]

could you ask where he got the carbon boot and hood please?

I'll drop him a txt in a minute pal... Will let you know.

Seen a nice EK9 (Possibily) the other day in Bristol.

Was blue, with all the EK9 body kit and even 5 stud hubs. Car check shown as a 1600, so it could be a VTi or EK9.

Had 2 lovely looking bride seats in red, fully stripped out and a cage. Was p**n.
