My LHD EK9 Conversion

[Civic Zolee]

Hi All,

I bought an EK4 and converted to a left hand drive Civic Type R (EK9). I looked after all differences and I ordered almost all Type R parts. The conversion took around 3 years. The car has a powerful 212 HP/190NM B18C engine with 43k kms. I selected all engine parts in order to have an enjoyable and reliable streetcar with a lots of midrange (6k 162HP/190NM).

Nice build you have yourself! the car looks so fresh, you'd think it was a new car straight from factory! and in the best colour for a type r too!

Thank you! I was to preserve it and it has just now got a full polish and clean. It really looks like the same in live.

I brought it last week to a high class car wash and I heard that one of washings guy said it to his collegue that the interior was also in mint condition... I was great to hear about a 17 year old car.

Amazing! Love black EK9's. I have very similar to yours except mine is a pre-facelift

edit: where did you get the carbon look center console for LHD? looks exactly like the OEM EK9 except it's for lhd.

Thank you! I bought the genuine block-off clock plate and I brought to a company with the whole LHD center consol and they did this carbon treatment with the same technology as Honda does.
