Item for sale: EK9 Turbo
Reputation: Dale10ellis10
Price: Sold
Location: County Durham

Right where do I start here...
I've decided to put a for sale ad just on this forum for now simply for the fact that I'm no longer using the car until next year and it's tucked away in the garage and it's a pretty expensive asset just sitting there at the minute as the money could be used elsewhere currently due to just buying my first house. Even so I don't NEED to sell it nor do I NEED money it's simply just a thought at the minute. I change my mind almost everyday.
We currently have 3 cars and a van so there is really no need other than pleasure and a hobby for me to have the EK9 .. Don't get me wrong I bloody love the thing and I was desperate to buy another after my first 9' a few year ago, however it might be an idea to come crawling back in a few years once I'm fully on my feet with the house.
Many of you may know the car, it's been around for a couple of year and been through a couple of owners since the original build up. When I was in the position to buy an ek9 this time money was really no object and I wanted the holy grail of ek9's.. I was looking for anything from k20 to turbo'd to fully prepped track cars. I knew of this car a few year ago and absolutely fell in love. I managed to find it's whereabouts through Instagram believe it or not, it had passed through a couple of owners since its in excess of £20,000 spend was thrown at it by the original owner/builder. It actually wasn't for sale at the time and the guy who had it wasn't that keen on getting rid. He had it in storage and it was fully off the road. After many pesting messages we finally agreed a deal and I traveled down to Leicester to collect it.
Unfortunately it wasn't a credit to its former self and was in a pretty sorry state but I was so desperate for something mega exciting and had money burning a hole in my pocket. I saw potential and loved the way it drove and sounded. There was no doubt I was taking it home with me.. I did however pay well over the odds for what it was worth in that state at the time but I was just happy to get my hands on something and set about making it my own.
Over the next few months I spent quite a lot of time and money giving it a new lease of life. There would be no way I would ever build a ek9 turbo to this standard from scratch myself I couldn't throw that much money at an old civic essentially but with this the hard work was done it just needed a little love and attention.Anyway I won't bore you all with background story's etc.. Here's the link for a quick build thread I knocked together a few weeks ago so you can get an idea what's been done since..

- HPI clear
- 130,000 km's which is about 80,000 in miles so well under average
- No rust underneath and will show people underneath on jacks and axle stands if needed.
Its running 350bhp at the flywheel with 270 fpt @10psi of boost
Only runs on v power the fuel which it was mapped on.
Oil is mobil 1 10w 60
Really isn't for the faint hearted and needs to be treat and maintained with respect this is a serious car. It's really rewarding to drive and the handling is on another level, the steering is pretty heavy at low speeds and parking but it really comes into it's own and puts you in touch with everything going on underneath you, I highly recommend removed power steering for track/ fast road driving. Clutch is a paddle clutch so slow moving traffic can become annoying but that's not what you will be buying this car for. Its loud, very loud on boost when the screamer pipe opens. The 3 inch exhaust also helps wake your neighbours up when you start it up... non of this with bother you if your considering this car anyway it is what it is... still just about a road a car.
It's mapped very very well, the power comes in just right it doesn't just light up the tyres it just grips and grips and expels you well into the distance quite quickly. Rev counter seems to be a bit intermittent but not really bothered me as your too busy trying to hold on for dear life than to be looking down at the clocks.
I can provide videos of in car footage for serious long distance buyers wanting to travel.
This car is in really good condition and seriously needs to be viewed to appreciate it. However it does have a few battle scars, nothing major but it's not a show queen, it's a fast road track car and it's all about business.
In my time I've never had it on the track, I have intentions of quite a few track sessions next season if I decide to keep it.
I've only covered about 500 miles in the car since buying it, I really haven't had to time to enjoy it yet. I've literally just changed the oil and filter 50 miles ago. Oil on the dipstick is brand new. No play whatsoever in the turbo, will happily remove the air filter and you can check for yourself. Just had a new windscreen fitted along with a new seal due to a large crack, it took 4 different appointments and 3 different windscreens and seals before I was happy with what they fitted.
For serious buyers, viewings on dark evenings are not a problem, my garage is of a decent size and there's plenty room to move around the car and have a good look. It's been off the road for about a month now so it's not moving out the garage any time soon.
Currently on a battery maintainer in a nice warm heated and carpeted garage.
Please be aware I may have made a mistake in creating this for sale advert, I reserve the right to refuse the sale of this car at any point if I do see sense and decide to keep it which is entirely possible.
Currently toying with the idea of getting rid of one of our other cars along with the civic and buying an E46 M3 as a nice all rounder to fill both gaps but again thats just a thought at the minute.....
Feel free to ask any questions I'll have missed loads.
Cheers for looking,
Dale.
Im well aware I could break it for parts but as I mentioned I can happily keep this car should I change mind... my price is below ... its a bargain...
SOLD
