Hi guys, some of you will remember me from years gone by as I was a retailer on here. I've had a fair few Hondas but never actually had a Civic until now, so I'll hopefully be a bit more active on here. My last Honda was probably the best known car I've had, a K20 swapped yellow DC2 with "K20 YO" private plate, which I sold to get an Elise.
I certainly wasn't expecting to be back in a Honda so soon. I got offered this while I had my Elise. My intention was to sell or break this car but I fell in love with it, really brought back memories from when I was 18/19 with my old CRX VTECs and that savage B16 VTEC kick! So I've decided to sell the Elise and dedicate the EK9 to track use.
This EK9 came to me with a very good spec, well looked after and it doesn't need a lot spending on it;
Engine & Transmission
Unknown "Ebay" intake
Tegiwa 4-2-1 Exhaust Manifold
Tegiwa 2.5" decat
Mugen Twinloop exhaust system
NGK leads
Exedy OEM clutch
RPC lightweight flywheel
Tegiwa engine mounts
Tegiwa dual width Alloy rad
Tegiwa silicone radiator hoses
Suspension
Racing Logic Hyper Street coilovers
Skunk2 Pro Series front camber arms
Skunk2 Pro series rear camber arms
Skunk2 gold rear lower control arms (to be replaced with OEM)
Tegiwa gold rear lower tie bar (to be removed & sold)
Exterior
Tegiwa carbon fibre bonnet
Facelift bumper & wings fitted (badly)
Wheels & Brakes
OEM wheels with Hankook RS2 (road)
OEM wheels with Toyo R888s (track)
Ferodo DS2500 pads front & rear
RBP grooved discs front & rear
Extras & factory options
Air con removed
Within the last 6 months it's had a full service with cambelt, the clutch/flywheel, all new suspension components as well as new engine mounts. The best part is the previous owner paid me to fit the parts to what is now my car, so it owes me very little indeed! The plan is to fit a decent airbox as it just has some no-name open filter on it at the moment, get an S80 gearbox with a shorter final drive and strip it out with some fixed buckets and harnesses. Really don't want to change anything internal on the engine, I just want to have some track day fun for relatively little money
