what car are you going to buy....??
Thanks all for the warm welcomes.
Well. Technically its not a EK9, but its exactly like one. As original EK9s are extremely rare to come by in my country (There are more NSXes or F355s or whatever than EK9s here), the closest that I found was this with a full conversion. The man who did it literally bought an EK9 from Japan (Not road legal) and transferred everything down to the carpets to this EK3 (Road legal). EK3 was stripped to the bones then painted, sound proofed, wires laid before everything else went in. In absoluteness this probably costed more than a real EK9, stupid government policies.
The car is insane! This has to be the best performing 1.6L production engine in the world. Handling is awesome too, but I havent had the pleasure to try it out for real.
The car is pretty much stock standard except for a mugen-style air intake and spoon exhaust manifold.
I havent managed any real pictures, due to the weather and things getting dark. This one is from my camera.
Ill be hanging around asking questions, maybe contributing to some, or just to mess around alright. Hello again.
edit: jdmctr, nice to know there are some locals on this forum as well. How is you?
edit: Theres a picture.

I'm not bad mate, I'm in the UK (parents from Malaysia but born I'm in UK) more than I'm in Malaysia at least for the time being..hehe.. I will move back there at some point! Is it that difficult to have a genuine EK9 in Malaysia? Hmm.. that might put my plans in doubt then..haha.. was planning on taking one in at some pointJayH said:edit: jdmctr, nice to know there are some locals on this forum as well. How is you?
