Burny Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have been looking for an EK9 for quite some time now and managed to get my hands on this 2000 plate RX with 102,000 kms on the clock, roughly 80,000 miles. Im very impressed with the ek9 it is by far nicer to drive than any car i have driven before I bought the car because for a 1.6 they dont half shift and they're well known for their reliability and bullet proof engines. The mods on the car when i bought her:-Tanable Concept G 2.25" exhaust system-Skunk2 inlet manifold and 70mm throttle body Modifications that i have already carried out are:Meister R coiloversAdjustable decat pipe 2.5" and Lower Control Arms5Zigen manifoldFound a Blitz airfilter in the garage to temporarily put that onShe's lower than this now this was taken just after we fitted the coiloversOther mods that i have planned:-Mugen airox-Hondata S300-New rocker cover, B16A2 rocker cover on a B16B is not cool!-Spoon N1I have misty headlights that i don't think can be brought back to life so going to be on the lookout for new ones, the front bumper is also stone chipped so going to get that re sprayed along with a full mop and polish on the car.Eventually i will also be purchasing a set of JDM wheels, unsure yet - you know the score though, Enkei/Rays/Reggamasters/Sprintharts etc. Couple of pictures before she was lowered Thanks for looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil pump shat it lol.There is a lightweight model available too mate, generally the RX came with all the optional extras so was slighly heavier such as air conditioning, elecric windows & folding mirrors etc.Ouch thats unlucky, fingers crossed this one will be fine she doesnt use any oil anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan507 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I looks Good buddy. Although. I'm Pretty sure the Type RX is the Lightweight version. IIRC it doesn't have A/C or a Radio and a few other bits BUT they were optional extras. The RX is suppose to be around 50kg's lighter than a standard type RThere is also a Motorsport version, similar to are poverty spec Glanza. It had the type R chassis, engine, brakes, suspension but came on steels. had no radio, a/c, abs, power steering, keep fit windows no recaros ect. which made it much cheaper then the normal type R.

Even though these were optional extras on any EK9 apart from the one you mentioned which was a lighter more affordable version :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
