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...

Hi all, Ive had a nose around the forum but not found much in regards to my query. I am in process of sourcing a new EK9 bumper but need many fixtures and fittings in regards to nuts / screws / bolts / driver side arch liner. I went into Honda to order these bits assuming that I could just...

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...

Hi all, Im finally looking at moving on from "fast car" ownership, its long overdue, Ive done well to survive this long but time to face facts (hopefully just for the next few years until kids are a little older). Now I dont have enough posts on here to sell anything, so was keen to know what...

Hi all, Been a whilst since Ive posted. I still have my 1998 EK9 Race Base, but I've had back to back issues with batteries / car not starting. Will try and keep a long story short, I bought the car with a PC680 fitted, I am now on my 4th race battery and today after I thought the issues...

Hi, I'm not sure if there is a product out there that does this for the Civic, but I'm after a new shifter that could bring the gear stick position closer to me rather than the stock / low location. I can see there are a few angled extension, but I would rather an entire shifter that has more...

Hi guys, Wondering if you can help me. I am after a local garage which have a good reputation for working on my EK9. A lot of the places I used have now closed up and moved on unfortunately. Im after a place that takes pride and car working on all its car, and whom dont tighen wheel nuts using...

My missus is currently there for the week. She mentioned that she spotted what looked like an EK9 a few days ago. She noted an EK9.org sticker on there. Hi to whoever you are.

I've been eyeing up a few on on eBay, but if you guys happen to know of any Id like to get my hands on one please. Cheers Rush

Hi all, Ive always used traditional wheel bolts in the past. I believe I cant use the standard EK9 ones with my new wheels. I was looking at the following, any idea if they will be okay: http://www.part-box.com/product_info.php?products_id=6513...

Hi there, Have been a member of this forum for a long time but not owned an EK9 until December just gone. I purchased a 1998 Racebase model from Matt whom has a thread of this car on here. I believe it was imported by Dunx some time ago now. Before I unveil all, a quick run through of my...

Hi guys, Wondering if any of you have shots of a completely standard EK9 on aftermarket wheels? I have a set of Spoon SW388's I planned to fit soon, but feel they will look a little strange on an EK9 that runs standard suspension. I didnt want to buy any aftermarket suspension as I feel the...

Hi guys, I'm on the hunt for some replacement tyres for my EK0, so was after suggestions. From the threads I have already read and based on my own criteria, heres where I'm at: 1) Car is stock, standard suspension / brakes / bushes / mounts 2) Want a summer road tyre not slicks / semi slick 3)...

Morning guys, Will try to keep this short and sweet. I recently imported some wheels from Keith at RPMGarage (FYI extremely nice and helpful guy). Item was shipped some time ago, as I felt delivery would be in safe hands I didnt bother checking the tracking info or bothering Keith. Its been...

Hi there. I'm ever so close to purchasing a set of Spoon SW888's in 15x6.5 ET42. I'm currently running EK9 Racebase Steelies, which I believe are 15x5.5 and ET50? Firstly from my research I believe the SW's should sit a little wider due to the lower offset and the extra inch width? I plan to...

Hi there Searched the forum and found nothing. Have any owners ever invested and tried a lithium battery. Barley red top do some, apparently they provide similar stats to their lead acid "15" race battery. Messaging from my mobile so being lazy and not providing links, I'm considering one due...

Hi all, Not a regularly user of the EK9 forum, but recently picked up Stokes' 1998 Racebase. Its been garaged for the past month, only started a few times. Had to jump start the car 2 weeks ago, was a bit of a challenge due to the tight connections on the Odyssey Race battery and trying to get...

Not a regular poster but often browser the forum. Spotted a really smart EK9 (not an expert so may have been a replica) in Walsall this afternoon. Looked to be running race base wheels, may have even been a race base. Pre facelift front bumper. Looks extremely clean, no horrible...

Ive done a search but not found anything, so far I know the EK9 is 5 stud but whats the exact stud pattern (inc the spacing)? For example 5x100, 5x98 etc etc. Offset I seem to have found they are ET50? Cheers in advance, Rushy
