My new EK9 Civic Type R

[DunsyEK9]

Hello all

Im on Nightshift security at the moment and its Dire, so i thought id join up on here (as recommended by a mate)

Thought i would show you my car that is currently on its way from japan.

(Thanks to www.privateimports.co.uk)

Its a 1998 EK9 with Lots of nice Mugen Bits

Mugen Brakes
Mugen Braided brake Hoses
Mugen AntiRoll bars
Mugen Manifold and
a Mugen Exhaust system

These photos are of the car in japan









For those who dont know much about these, they are the First "type-R" that Honda made and from the 1.6 Engine you get 185bhp as standard. They also come standard with a LSD and the handling out of the box is Amazing!

Anyway all comments welcome

What he meant was that any other civic type-r is poor in comparison to this one.

[DunsyEK9]

I presume he is comparing to the EP3

If so then yes...this is a real Type R

[Xenocide]

Oh wow lucky lucky chap. You're going to love it.

That is the only CTR in my eyes.

[coogy]

Quality choice sir. I'd love to get a passenger ride in one of these to see how it compares to the Teg.

[okgo]

The only one I would even entertain the thought of getting.

Maybe a white ep3 jdm though...

Great motor

Same...

Although I should imagine circa 6/7k??

[Baffled Spoon]

Love it! Fantastic car, a proper race car for the road

PS. the EP3 type-R wasn't all that bad (at least not when compared to the fn2 )

Another great ctr, although this is the FD2 rather than the crappy FN2 hatch we get here in the UK.

[JakeR]

yeah, Evo Loved it in their Ecoty 2007 spread... it whooped some very tasty kit. Practical too, 4 door saloon...

Why have Honda decided that we no longer deserve drivers' cars in the UK? There's only the s2000 left afaik...

Lovely car mate, have fun with it!

[dinkel]

The first time I saw and heard one of these was in Budapest in '99.

The driver pulled it all the way and the guy I was with couldn't believe his ears: "When does that engine effing stop!!!"

Great car mate.

[DunsyEK9]

its stops at approximatley 9000 RPM

[Saied]

Nice car. Very nice car.

Bet it sounds fantastic on 2nd cam with those Mugen bits on it

[quattrophenia]

THESE THINGS HOLD THEIR VALUE ALMOST AS WELL AS THEY HOLD THE ROAD TOO.

Looks good, always liked these!

Did you mean first Civic type-r made or first "Type-R"? Because Honda made the NSX Type-R mid-92 and Integra Type-R late 95!

Looks braw nonetheless! Bet that twin-loop sounds awesome!
