I have put this off for a long time, but have finally come to the decision to break my car. I have owned it since new and the current mileage is 133K but had a B18C and other upgrades in 2006 when the mileage was 108K.

I would sell the car complete but the rear arches need repairing, this was the only thing it failed on MOT, because the rust was within 12 inches from a suspension mount.

Below i will list briefly the parts i would like to sell first, as i don't want the car sitting around with loads of bits left. Feel free to make sensible offers, i am a mature enthusiast and all mechanical parts have been treated with care.


Front and rear seats
Interior plastics
Mats
Doors
Tailgate
Wings
ABS Sensors & Pump
Clutch and brake Cylinders
VTI alloy wheel with tyre

If there is anything you need then please ask. If i still have the large body panels end of play Tuesday, then i will take them to the scrap yard, i need the space.



ENGINE SOLD

B18C taken from a ITR in Japan with 28K on it, was inspected and full leak down carried out before stripping down and fitting modified head.

B18C Standard Bottom end

B18C Head
Ported and polished
Supertech stainless steel inlet valves
Econel exhaust valves
Adjustable cam gears
Hondaworks cams
Deutzwerks yellow Injectors

Custom Cam Cover
Lots of other tinkering

Engine makes approx 230HP and 160LB/FT, at present mapped with Apexi Power FC with vtec point set at 6600K standard redline. Not driven on high cam all the time, as car produces plenty of power lower down revs and covers ground very quickly. Does not burn oil, never bounced off the limiter and always warmed up gently. Regular Oil Changes with Motul 5W 40 Fully synthetic, Coolant system flushed and checked then re-filled with type 2 Honda Pre-mixed. This has been built as an endurance engine and suits my EK4 very well, in a 9 i think it would be amazing

I would like firm offers on the larger items before i sell wheels and suspension, as it's easy to push the car around.

All parts are avaidable from this car, so please ask for condition and prices. I will get some pics up of bits soon as i have interest.

Bodywork on this car is original and in very nice condition, been detailed when needed. So if you want to buy the complete car and do the arches then make me an offer.

Thanks For Looking

Will be back with a price soon, want a bit of interest on the other parts before i pull the Bumper off, the lip is a Genuine Vti-S
 
No problem, I just sent you a pm with my email address. Can you send me a pic so that I can get a general idea if the bodywork?
 
Interested in the rear interior if its black, I can understand if you would like to sell the other parts first.
Car looks very nice too btw.
 
Ball park figure on whole car?

And more pics including arches

Do you have receipts and paperwork for all the parts and work?
 
Interested in the rear interior if its black, I can understand if you would like to sell the other parts first.
Car looks very nice too btw.


The rear interior is black, i will let you know as i have quite a few interested in whole car.
 
good to see it sell but after money spent on this understandable your breaking to recoup money Keef

engine design/build/map/cost is more than what some peoples ek9's are worth on this car, not your run of the mill motor and way above league of majority of well known "so called" Honda specialists

what are you looking to move towards in future Keef ?
 
Thanks mate, Yes thats what ive tried to tell people that have shown interest, alot of them believe that they can go and buy a well spec'ed EK9 for the same money with this kind of performance and that will perform all day long. I don't know what to price the whole car at? the rust can be fixed, but it's understandable that it scares most people off. Makes me sad to think off selling, and feel crap about the fact our very good friend made this happen.

Only other option is to buy a rust free EK9 and reshell, but i am uncertain if that will still do it for me, i guess my age is messing with me.

I don't know for sure what i will move onto, Maybe Accord 2.4 and go see the guys at Race DNA about supercharger:D nice set of wheels and a drop and leave it there. But i keep thinking about old 3.2 Carrera's, and the fact Pez and Paul fettle them too!

Thanks for the kind words Um.



Keef
 
Yes it sure is, and anyone that knows Race DNA knows they are not just your average, The Cylinder head for example cost more than what most guys pay for a complete engine set up. Work of art, and attention to detail sets this apart, i wish the shell was not rusty as i would defo not sell. The car is such a rapid machine and can beat up much more powerful cars, could keep with my mates Toda FD2
 
I would really really hold off selling that engine + box & header, what a combination and the results say it all.

You will be hard pressed to find another engine like this.
 
They build some good stuff alright :nice:, may need something like this myself.
 
Hi mate whats the Lowest You would take for the mugen strut brace delivered to london and also you got any more pics and condition of it ?
 
Front strut brace would be £130 plus postage, i will get a quote today. As said previously i would like some interest on the engine and larger items before i strip the smaller stuff.
 
Hi mate how much Would you do the mugen brace if I was to pick it up.... coming from london you see also have u got any more pics to show condition of it ???

Thanks pm me if you like
