Up for sale is my CW 1997 Civic Type-R EK9

The car was imported in 2008 by the reputable importer Duncan Crawford (fast Jap cars) and I’m the 3rd owner since it being in the UK. The car is fully de-restricted and converted to MPH.

Tax: 31/08/12
MOT:29/08/12

86800 miles

OEM parts fitted by previous owner:

Honda cam belt
Honda tensioner
new aux belts
new Honda thermostat
Honda coolant
Honda fuel filter
new ngk blue leads
Honda distrubitercap
Honda rotary arm
skunk 2 magnetic drain plugs
full underside clean down and full waxoil, behind arch liners, bumpers, sideskirts, rear interior trims removed waxoiled in behind etc.(used around 8 litres)

The car is in extremely good condition inside and out as people who have seen this car will vouch for. Since owning it I have done a few tweaks and added a few sort after parts which make the car stand out from the rest.

Spec list:

Engine:

Modified OEM intake with spoon filter and cold air feed
Seeker 4-2-1 manifold 2.5” collector
ACT lightweight flywheel
Tegiwa 2.5” de-cat
Fujitsubo power getter cat-back
Energy engine mount inserts
Magnetic sump plug

Transmission:

S80 box with 4.7 FD with 4th and 5th from the EK9 box
Cusco plated diff - amazing!
New OEM clutch fitted when flywheel was fitted
Magnetic gearbox plug

Chassis/brakes:

Nearly new Rota slip’s with parada spec 2 tires all round (front's getting low)
Meister R coilovers
Spoon rear lower brace
D2 rear LCA’s in purple
Ferodo DS2500 front pads *200 miles use
Hel SS brake lines front and rear *200 miles use*
Motul RBF 600 fluid *200 miles use*
Yellow stuff rear pads
Hardrace bush kit

MISC:

TRS green tow strap
Purple anodised D1 spec lightweight wheel nuts
Alpine flip up stereo with aux lead (flip mechanism is sticky)
Cat 1 alarm (unsure on make)

Also since owning I have had the car fully laser aligned due to me fitting the coilovers. It had Motul 5-40 fully synthetic oil with a HAMP filter 500 miles ago. Along with NGK iridum plugs and R synchro gearbox oil. CV boots were also replaced just last week as well as a nearside CV joint.

Bad bits:

Passenger seat has quite a bit of wear (previous owner swapped it with the drivers seat)
Couple of car park dings which I’ve noticed but are hard to spot on a white car 
Two manifold bolts have snapped off in the head due to them being seized. Manifold doesn’t blow though so I never bothered getting this done.

That’s every I can think of for now. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I can get any pictures you wish so just give me a holla!

Not in any hurry to sell really. Just testing the water as is, if it doesn’t sell then I’ll be returning the car to standard and selling all the parts on.

Reason for selling is I’ve been saving like mad for a year and a half for a house deposit and selling the car will give me the last chunk I need to possibly have a big enough deposit to go buy my first house 

Price is £6000 firm for now. Or £5700 with OEM wheels with two NEW PARADA'S

Thanks

This was my car a few years ago, i was the first uk owner and done most of the modifications and the waxoiling, spent a lot of time on it! was just saying earlier today how much i regret selling it.

It was a very clean car and still looks very clean.

just to note it also had a lot of new bearings and all new syncros and new seals in the gearbox (oem honda) when the diff was fitted,

hope you dont mind me adding this info!

good luck with the sale and hope it goes to a good home.
 
Iv seen this in real life a good few times and it really is amazingly clean. The gearbox is also amazing.

Although all your cars are clean haha, GLWTS man.
 
Thanks for all the kind comments :) Shame to get rid really but needs must at the minute. Don't want to have so much money tied up in a car
 
How come your selling up??

Just trying to get the little extra cash I need for my house deposit so selling this to release some cash.

Going to probably see if I can pick up a Jordan at a decent price :)

Nothing wrong with the car what so ever, if I can free up 2-3000 quid that's me sorted :)
 
Brilliant looking car danny, glad you sold it quickly.

hope sorting out the house goes well for you bud.
