Am I too old for an EK9


Not to old at all mate. Like the majority say please yourself, live your life and be happy.

Christ im hoping to have my first 9 by the time im 25, not thinking im to old for one lol. It has crossed my mind to save for a more 'adult' car but i know with a 9 i will be able to afford to fix anything that goes wrong, where as if something went wrong with a skyline say, i would be screwed lol. :)
 
Nope, never too old. A lot of people thought I'd move away from Honda hatchbacks and onto some boring, run-of-the-mill German car - nae chance, don't see this happening.
 
Just look at Gan San, Tschuyia and all the other best motoring crowd and how they love type R's. I'm 25 and I have owned RX8's and currently drive an RX7 but I'm leaving all the gas guzzling behind and am in the process of sourcing an EK9 at the moment

I did! :shocked:

Mind it wasn't quite run of the mill - 535i V8, carbon intake and cone filter, shotgun 3" back box and a remap. Well it SHOULD sound like a V8. :nice:
 
I got into hondas at 25, had my rotrex k20 ek9 at 28 and a k20 dc2 at 29

Now 30 I don't have a Honda though but thats because of becoming a family man and having 1 car that fulfills all my needs (m5)
 
Was just having this discussion with a mate if mine the other day. You guys truly discuss a lot of good topics. 32yrs old, going on 6yrs with my ej. Still dont care what others say.
 
I reckon your CE28's and spoon calipers would look nice on a '98 spec DC2 :nice:. Unless your simply bored of the Honda game.

The coupe shape could be considered a bit more "grown up" IMO.
 
In a word, no ! Enjoy your car mate dont worry what anyone else thinks !
 
^^^ couldnt agree more, i feel like this at times but then i drive my car and forget about it :)

Certainly isn't! I did consider an E39 540i at one point. I do have a slight V8 itch...

Spot on.
 
If you don't want to sell it and need something sensible, buy a nice daily.

Once I've got a secure job I'll be buying an E60 and when I feel like being a chav the EK9 will be there waiting.

The black one is mine I'm 25 the grey one is my old mans he's 62.
 
Wow, Father and Son. Love it very special that you share a passion. Car both look great. I bet you both get some fine Christmas presents
 
I had my ek9 at 34 the guys at work all took the piss as they don't understand they saw it as a old 98 civic

When I recently got my fd2 they still took the piss and could not understand why I spent almost 17k on a 2007 civic all laughing at me saying I should of got a uk fn2

I let a electrician at work have a go .. He was absolutely gobsmacked ... Got out and was stroking the rear quarter saying "what a car " what a car "

He now gets it :)
