Hey guys,
Just thought we should, once and for all, confirm or disprove claims as to what differences there actually are between EK9 and other EKs. One common myth (which until recently I also believed was true) is that the windscreen on EK9 is lighter. I've checked myself and the part numbers match those of other EKs, icluding EK2 shopping cart so that is most certainly just a myth. I'm going to edit this first post with a list of things as we confirm them to be either a fact or a myth. Just post what you think should be here and I'll add it! I'm particularly interested whether EK9 has faster steering, whether anyone has identified any seam welding on the chassis etc.
FACT
- Rear ''subframe'' stronger
- No insulation / sound deadening on bulkhead
- Front strut brace stronger
- Front subframe seam welded
- Rear crash bar lighter
- Rear seats mounted differently
MYTH
- Thinner/lighter windscreen
