I do love EK9s, easily my favorite Civic.

Anymore plans for it?

Innovative Engine Mounts are in the process of being delivered to sort out the issue with jumping/hopping, this will either make the SPOON Torque Damper redundant or i'll get a custom mount fabricated for the new mount designs.

Awesome car, I love the bonnet, though I'm not a fan of the sticker in the back window, and while some people rave about the Mugen Twin Loop I really don't rate it, I prefer the less sensible systems.

Nice car though.

Ek9 is my favourite civic shape, reminds me of gran turismo!

Looking good in white too!

It's rather raspy on full throttle but abit dull around and general driving. But it came with the car so can't complain really!

I like Buddyclub Spec 2 systems

Me too, they are my favourites but there is not one available for the EP3 so I had a custom made replica, complete with a "silencer" at the rear which is a crafty and aesthetically pleasing way to bring the straight pipe to the tip of the exhaust. It sounds absolutely mental on VTEC, as you'd expect.

Awesome.

Love these cars.

Forgot to mention as well, the rear quarter window stickers are off, they were annoying me as well.

Big soft spot for the ek9, nice car

I really would love to own one at some point, plenty to choose from in Japan. If you dont mind me asking, what was it like trying to source a car over there, did you buy through an import specialist ? and how much did it cost to get it from Japan and on the road over here ??

Excellent little car, OP! How is it as a day to day car and is there really a dead zone as you engage third from peak revs from second?
