    B16B IACV Changed High Idle

    Now i know how bad they get, this is a good idea. Bit of a pain to get off I find, you use an angled or flexible spanner? That said though this unit I fitted is in much better condition than my old one, I will clean my old one and give it a go see if that helps.

    B16B IACV Changed High Idle

    Hi guys, Never seems to be straight forward when it comes to me and my EK9 relationship. So for a few weeks now my idle has been very low during cold start, sometimes cuts out. I did my research and found that it was most likely my IACV, I wanted to take mine apart and clean it but was told...

    EK9 Alarm Requirements

    Hi all hope youre doing well. Was just a quick one, but when it comes to alarms for EK9s / Imports, I was lead to believe a Thatcham 1 was needed for insurance purposes? Its one of those where Im doubting myself now, what is the case as I need to replace my current alarm and want to make sure I...

    Honda Parts - Where To List

    Thanks Kipper noted, will give it a try and see how it goes. Its a damn shame cause say 10 years ago forums were none stop, Ive seen Sax-p die a death and it looks very quiet here too.

    Starting up my Ek9 after 3 years in storage

    I remember my old 106 GTi. I went through a fair few precautionary measures whilst it was in storage, the engine was just never right once I wanted to get back in it. Hope it goes well!

    Hi all, I plan to sell on both the EK9 Racebase and the Spoon wheels. Does anyone perhaps know the going rate for SW388s? Mine were second hand but in prestine condition. They are still in excellent condition, think there is a bit of pain flaking off on one of the rims. Will do a for sale...

    Yeah I may need to look into that, although Ive only started having this issue say over the last year or so. Multimeter should arrive by tomorrow, lets see what it says. I the battery on charge today, after 4 hours it was still charging so it was definitely flat.

    rushy_23 - 1998 EK9 Racebase

    Hi all, Been a while since Ive posted. I have plans to sell the car very soon, its a reluctant sale unfortunately as we have one too many cars we are juggling between and the EK9 is the car that serves the least purpose. The car is in as fantastic condition as it was when I purchased it. I...
