I need a mint EK9, only problem with all these pics is even a tidy one will need about 10k + sunk into it to get it as good as the ones I've seen :(

Indeed! Love the EK9, what wheels are they?

Lexus looks interesting but seems to be a visual copy of a Super GT car opposed to any real engineering going on there. The interior is a good copy but it looks to be a sat nav stuck in the dash lol.

silver screen next to the steering wheel is a greedy boost controller.

Ok finally gotten round to taking some updated pics of how she currently stands. As the others on here were from various stages. Not brilliant but hopefully you get an idea of where she is going.

personally i'd try and pick up one of the EK9 Type Rx's (facelift models + year 2000+) seem to hold their value better.

Good point, they are bit harder to get hold of though aren't they. Anyway, DC2's are where it's at ;) !

To add, nice EK9 you've get there, is it an Rx?

yes mate it certainly is. ther are a couple of pics of my EK9 in a thread in clio discussion about my williams getting Written off.

they are a bit harder to get and you tend to pay a little more for them but will definitely hold their value better. From what im hearing, you can expect the EK9 market over here to become flooded over the next year or two with cheap and poor condition Ek9's, hence why'd i'd try and pick an Rx up.

DC2's are nice, i'll give you that! ;)
