Huge work going in to this. Good effort!

Great work - I wish my Mrs took care of her car this well.

Me too, and she's never been keen on me using the dishwasher for parts either......

What bhp do you expect with all the mods?

[GregK2]

Love this, look forward to seeing more updates.

[Altrezia]

Love this - we used to have a Jordan and it was a good car.

I'd put the interior back in, but other than that you're doing a great job.

More females in the world like this please. In fact more petrol heads in the world like this please!

I must have missed this build on ek9.org...did you buy this of one of the forum users?

Fantastic build so far. Sorry if I missed you saying, but I assume a turbo is on its way, the return in the sump and breathers on the rocker suggest so

Lovely car. I really like the EK9 shape. Can't wait to see how it is after the work you're doing to it.

[Paraicj]

A lot of work done! The EK9 shape really stood the test of time well too. And that strut-brace is just a work of art...

[minerva]

That is just stunning. Great read from beginning to end, thank you. Will watch out for final results off the dyno when it is all back together.

It is prompting me to get off my fat asre....!

Wish I had the time to give my car the effort it deserves.

thanks
Yeh, detail myself. It's tough when you like keeping your car clean as much as you like driving it but I like to think I can have both function and form!
What teg did you have?

I had a UK DC2. Was such a fun car, in a very different way to my current CLK55. Sadly at the time it was my only car and the arches were shot so I binned it off.

In the process of going to 2 cars again so I can have one to play with and polish, the one to use for work.

What sort of power are you looking at with your engine mods?

[DanielJames]

Good to read all your progress in one go Nicole

[Megaflow]

Superb, always liked the EK9 Civic, why on earth Honda never brought the Type R version to the UK I'll never understand.

Are you keeping it n/a?

[lotusmad2001]

a girl that drives an EK....

how flippin awesome is that! Great thread, great pics!

[Nikko 40691]

Looking good, although I preferred your chalkboard 106.

Said Jordan reached the end of its life just last week!

I'd have kept interior and AC but I do like your car and the work going in to it.

[SeanEP3]

Love this car! somehow I follow It on IG.

I had an EK4 years ago, and loved it to bits, although I always wanted to have an EK9.

[VTECMatt]

I had one of the first in the uk, way back then, 98 iirc, absolutely loved it, modded mine too. Makes a great road car in road trim, the track mods spoilt the on road fun in the end.

Car looks great.

[Beedub]

theirs a white turbocharged one that runs around Birmingham and its insanely quick, like properly fast. Lovely car OP....

[jezhumphrey75]

stupid question but why spend all that money when u could just buy a k20 and stick it in?

[MuZiZZle]

It's okay, it needs lowering though.
