21, 0ncb, 2mnths full uk, pp - and I've been quoted shy of £1300.

Snap. You got me. :D

Nah mate, I'm opting for the EK3 (grp 10). It desires a little more power yes, but it's decent enough with good fuel economy for the first motor. Premiums on that aren't sky-high either. Hopefully one day I can get the big bad 9. lol Manos.

Thanks for the advice peeps. Yes, I've spotted a few nice EK3's on another forum for the same price range. Will be discussing a possible sale for them soon. What's the dif between an EK4 and 3 anyway?

Hi gents, just passed my test last month and fully set to be on the road now, but I still can't get myself an EK9 because of the insurance man and being a student for another year from Sep. I've opted to save my money then and get an EK3/4 for a few years. Been looking around on all the...

Kind of in the same boat as you mate and I've decided to put off buying one for a year or two. Most likely two as Sky Insurance say they'll give an unbeatable quote on the car but only after I've been driving for two years with NCB x2. Being a member of EK9.org helps that little better too...

Before I make a fool of myself, let me get this correct. The official stock B16b in the EK9 makes 185bhp? BHP here meaning the amount of power produced at the engine and available for use. However, like with all cars power is lost through the drive so a more accurate measurement of how much...

Thanks guys. I've got myself a 1.0L Micra lined up which is looking to be sweet on insurance from the quotes I've been getting. Hopefully come 2009, things will be better with getting the EK9 on the drive.

Just been ringing the phone bill up today getting quotes before I get an EK9 imported and I've read about the sad story in the for sale section and didn't want to be in a similiar position. So anyway, almost every company quoted me around the £5k mark, some even more. However, I was told by...

Lovely Rclub, almost fully briefed on this now. It comes down to the 96-98 being the first version and the later 99-00 having been given a cosmetic makeover the second version. EK9 I and EK9 II if you will. Thanks guys.

Hmm, I don't like the wider front grill of the 96-98 then but very much like the fog light placement area in the 99-00 and narrow grill area. Gives it somewhat a more aggressive stance! And since you mention indicators, I've noticed on some they're amber colour (like in the pic) and on others...

Thanks for the reply. With all differences being cosmetic, which one has the headlamps that have the dark housing, or is it all of them? One other question, the car in the forum banner @ top, that is the '88 or '99? Thanks.

Ok, so here's my first question of many. What are the differences in the EK9 models? So far from looking at almost every bit of information I can find, I figure myself that in terms of performance there isn't much if any difference, but cosmetic wise, there's a little. What are the chances of...

Hello guys, just signed up. Hopefully soon to be a proud of an EK9 and want to do some research in advance as to upgrades and other bits'n'bobs regarding the motor. See you around, cheers.
