In Japan and Hong Kong you could purchase a civic typre R in 1998-2000 in the EK4 shape. Very fast cars, 190HP I believe.

Are they available here?? If so, where?

The model you mean is the ek9 civic type r, a few have been imported into the country but are very rare. they come with 182 bhp. You can no longer import them into the uk as there is no model report available. i think the production ran from 97-00.

thanks

and 1.6 to boot

Roojai

Would jump at the chance to a own an EK9 in black.

flat4_ire

1000's of em here in ireland man

vanman

I've been out in EK9,mad mad car,sounds mental revving to 9k especially through a full Spoon N1 system

Really must own one.And a spoon equipped S2000

flat4_ire

not great in the wet tho, i had a dc2 98 integra type r in black with a few bits on her, great handling for a fwd and a lovely roar, different league than sti's tho man

Ralph Wiggum

a genuine ek9 spoon civic type r,

flat4_ire

yeah, what about them??

Ralph Wiggum

nice cars with a stupid rev limit

Ralph Wiggum

very fast for a NA 1.6!!!! with a very high specific output, low torque though which is always the trade off with high revving small capacity cars

flat4_ire

yeah 8900rpm, serious revvin alright, can be tuned to 250bhp n/a, not bad

Ralph Wiggum

no very good , never seen one in the uk.

got a good best motoring dvd called honda r boys(dodgy name i know lol) they race it against some pulsar n1 i think can't remember

flat4_ire

yeah its a pulsar n1,fast 1.6 engine like type r civic, pushing about 190bhp.. there are looooads of ek9 civics here in southern ireland, lots of white, a few blac,silver,blue and yellow is rare

HkTypeR

IIRC didn't they just make the EK9's in black, white and the odd yellow (very rare though)

Ralph Wiggum

i swear i seen a ek9 for sale on autotrader looked the real thing too

HkTypeR

be warned you do get alot of them EK4's wanting to be a EK9, simple really to change it cosmetically, lip (front and rear), spoiler and the grille.

Ralph Wiggum

this could be the case but it had a under bonnet shot and it was a B16 definately well it certainly looked the part, might of just had red powder rocker covers after wards LOL

Roojai

These are the two I found - they look genuine enough but one is a fresh import which is strange.

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=436100 12th post down there's a link to Pulsar VZ-R N1 v EK9 CTR

I know which one i'd pick though...

I also have the VTEC Club Best Motoring dvd which has the Spoon EK9 CTR which revs to over 12,000rpm IIRC

Ralph Wiggum

yeah i thought so the one with the green tacho needle, they change the tacho in the spoon,

which when earlier someone put 8900 i though i swear it was in the 10ks lol i watch it when i go home now,

the esprit civic is cool too sounds the ****, no faster than the spoon though on the track anyway, proberly eat it on the road

flat4_ire

no they were made in silver and red and blue too my friend

banny sti

iTrader: (68)

They were made in silver, black, white and yellow. Unless its a replica red and blue was never made.

flat4_ire

red and blue were made

Roojai

any evidence?

What to look for to ensure it's real....and please don't just put link to honda forums, I have em.

They will redline at 8200rpm, 5 bolt hubs, B16B engine, MOMO SRS 368mm steering wheel, a titanium shift ****, and carbon type meter panel.

How do these bad boys compare with the current CTR in terms of pace and handling?

Red was definately made mate, really not sure about blues though.

My friend has a white one with N1 backbox and D2 coilovers.
