power wise, my vti was alot quicker than my ek9 QUOTE]
less power and much more weight?
Confused.
Have a look over in Ireland mate. They seem to be cheaper over there
both me and my friends vti's just had induction kits and a de-cat pipe, thats it. the one i had was well looked after but was drivin hard by previous owners and me it could beat ep3's no bother, its the only car i've regretted selling
but if i knew were it was, i would buy it again.
I believe you, BUT
A standard EK4 vs standard EK9 in a straight line. EK9 should win. If the EK9 has had a rough life it will be closer and maybe an EK4 could edge it.
However, if your was EK4 is consistently keeping up and beating EP3's it is far more likely that your EK4 had more mods than an air filter. Manifold and a map? Maybe it even a b16b or b18 in there
I completely understand that a well looked after car will have an edge on an abused EK9. But because your car had a reputation for being fast, I'd imagine it was because it was and not just that everybody else had poorly serviced cars.
Don't take this comment the wrong way, I believe what you are saying. Just I think that your car was faster than an air filter and decat, or you are a lot better at driving than your friends.
If you set your budget for around 5500 quid you should be able to pick and choose from the tidy ones out there.
Thats the rough figure I was thinking £5000-5.5k and then need some more to change insurance over :/
I quite like this ek9. Would probs take the Spoon stickers off but thats the kind of thing I'll be looking for
That 9 must have been dog then.

There's been a topic about that car, lack of info in the ad etc
I agree mate. Not even an EK4 that just rolled of the factory line could beat a dog EP3. No way.
Have you owned an ek4?A ek9 is a better car but the way some people go on about them on here its like the ek4 is **** compared to them.For the money you get vti's for these days you could buy one and b18 it and good suspension set-up for the same price you can get a facelift ek9 for or less maybe.Best bang for buck car out there is the 96 spec dc2,4000 is what mint ones with low miles go for these daysi know this has been said countless times in this thread already but im going to say it anyway
having owned my ek9 for a nice while now i can say that an ek9 is in a differant league to that of an ek4..simple.
i think barry85 explained what the ek9 is all about so ill rest my case
