Stezie's Black EK9 Pictures

[stezie]

I bought my EK9 back in feburary as a rolling shell. I had an EK4 track car that was heavily rusted and was coming to an end of it usable life.

I was on the lookout for another EK4 shell, but came across the EK9 shell, it was on the way to the breakers, as I bought it off a lad who bought it to sell off as parts. Shame really as it was such a clean shell, no rot and of coarse black which is really hard to come by now.

I built the car back up, sourcing new panels and getting them painted. I reused the b16a2 engine and S4C box from the EK4, which is still a very fit engine. It has EK9 cams and head, dc2 inlet and ek9 ecu. ( the ek4 this engine came from was able to pass a standard ek9, ep3 and fn2 type r civics ). Now the engine is in a lighter shell..

I have a DC2R head and will be on the lookout for a b16b or b18 bottom end, and ill try to source an s80 box and fit the s4c 4th and 5th from a spare box i have.

I got my buddyclub P1 wheels fitted with a new set of AD08 at the weekend and then took a few pics.

I have an immaculate red cam cover, not sure if i should fit that or wait till i have a type r engine in. And I still need to get an EK9 interior in it, only have ek4 seats and clocks in for now.

Thanks. Running standard EK9 suspension, which is perfect for the roads about here, and useable on track. If a set of coilovers showed up at the right price id pick them up.
