Ek9 on eBay advise


Personally I think, when compared to any conventional car, the EK9 is right up there with the greats: helical LSD as standard which works brilliantly, strong gearbox, great stock suspension suitable for track and road and a fantastic engine that is difficult to get big gains from without a lot of money. Once you start to modify it, it takes away from this specialness.

It's great value for money as standard and without big money thrown at it will only get minimal gains in my opinion - for instance the EK9 rallycar used stock suspension, which was absolutely fantastic, until Proflex was fitted costing £3k. Big money for a small gain where the stock parts were brilliant and didn't really need to be changed.

When you buy a standard EK9, everything on it is fit for purpose (whether it's for trackdays, commuting or a weekend warrior) and there is no NEED to do anything to it from the suspension to the calipers. Even racing; add a bolt-in rollcage, performance pads, extinguisher, killswitch, good tyres and you have a competitive car from my experience at rallies.

Of course, people like to do things to them to suit their own wants, but it's unfair to say that the EK9 actually NEEDS anything doing to it, it's a brilliant car in its own right when compared to any conventional car.

Nobody is disputing the EK9's perfection from the factory but there wouldnt be a car scene if everyone thought the EK9 (or any car for that matter) did not need modifying and as i've said its down to personal discretion and opinion on what you change / modify.

My car at the moment doesnt need modifying as its just a daily to get me to work and back. When I get a 9 sure its capable without being modified - will that stop me?

Not a chance - I dont think the 9 is fast enough out the box for my liking. (a personal opinion that will influence my decision to modify it) so does that mean it NEEDS modifying? YES to suit my needs.

Hi every one just to let you know its my girlfriends car on ebay, my mate put it on ebay because i work alot of hours and dont get much access to the computer. shes only selling because we have bought a house and now have a baby and getting a bigger car. car has been well looked after but have not had money to spend on new wheels and other parts which were on the agenda. The car is not a dog as some of you have said. might have high miles but its been serviced regular, and mechanically sound. thanks
