Hi all! Wow i accidently stumbled across this forum... can't believe i've never seen it!

Here in Australia EK9's are very rare, i would dare guess there's at most a dozen in the country on the road, maybe less (used to see a few around, now all disappeared!). So i'm very glad i've found a community of other EK9 owners... :clap:

Well i'm the proud owner of a 1998 Championship White EK9... for about 7 years now! Can't believe it's been that long... was my first car and i don't think i'll ever sell her :nice:

Anyway, i'll post up some pics soon.

Hello, I had a 1993 one, I added a evo 3 turbo, and the car was very fast, I just added some more boost, from 8 - 10 psi to 14 psi + vpower fuel only . Great, fun drive, but I agree with SpoonCTR is fast on straights but at cornering / track, the car is very very slow.

hey rvm you've posted in the wrong section lol!:D
 
Haha yeah long time, can't bear to sell her... was my dream car since i was young and out of pure luck i found one by chance. didn't even know we could get them in Australia at the time! And can't afford a second car... a nice one anyways...

cyek9: from Melbourne, best city in the world! :D

Only mods are bolt ons... car is currently stock-ish after having an inspection a few months ago. But will be putting these back on really soon...
- Top fuel intake (used to run Apexi short ram)
- Custom cat back from previous owner (but have a J's Racing cat back to install!)
- HKS Hypermax coilovers
- 16" Advan RGs (silver at the moment :p)
- and few other lil bits n pieces...

Yeah, those are my white RGs... in storage after a wet n dirty winter! Same with the CF bonnet... Probably put them back on soon ;)

Oh, and the HKS Hypermax coilovers are amazing... perfect for street even on the bumpy roads here in Aus.
 
I'm loving your car! Very nice choice of parts. Welcome to the site.
 
Thanks for the comments guys... will post some newer pics up soon. And maybe some more of my friends' cars...

Yeah with parts you really should just put out the money and buy quality and exactly what you want first time around... so i waited and got most bits i love ;) This is my daily driver, so i don't go that hard on parts either... but of course there's always more i want :D
 
beautiful car! you should post photos on the photo / videos forum :)
