wanting to buy civic type r but.....

[honrat]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum. And i am nearly wanting to purchase a 1999 civic type r but the one that i've been looking has got EK1 registered to it.
Need your advise, please help!

Do you guys think it is ok to buy the type r which is registered under EK1 or should i just search for another civic?

The whole chasis is ek9 but the firewall is stamped as ek1.

Thank you and will be waiting for your guys advise.

Regards,
Honrat

it is just a ek civic cxi
with ek9 parts put on to make it look like a ek9
so its isnt a real ek9

just a replica

[Scott.QQ]

What sort of budget have you got? EK9 Type R's are marked up heavily in Australia in comparison to their overseas price.

buy a eg and b18cr it, cheap fun for under 10 grand. you will beat a ek9 also in a straight line

[honrat]

Thanks for the quick update guys.if it is a CXI then i rather get the vti-r.Eg's would be another option.
They are lighter and faster with those engines but i thought of getting the ek type r which has got a league of its own.
But rather curious how much would a ek type r go for currently.The type r that i was mentioning to you guys is going approx:$17,000.How much would you guys pay for if the type r has got the EK1 stamped to the firewall?

Regards,
Honrat

genuine jdm ek9 civic type r not a cxi with ek9 bits and pieces on it.

The car you are looking at might not even be a cxi.. might be a gli if it has power windows and done up to look like an ek9.
If you want to buy a genuine ek9 banana posted up the link to seeker's one or you can find another on carsales going for 24k.
17k for that car that you are looking at.. hmm.. really depends what engine it has - if c7 in it and it looks like an ek9 then it might be worth it because i reckon thats how much it will cost you to do up an ek1 to ek9 anyways and saves you all the trouble of looking for the parts - which is half the fun anyways goodluck

this.

[cdpfxz]

what engine does the cxi have in it? is it a b16b? If so then it MIGHT be worth the money.. it'd want to have something good in it to be worth that much when you can buy a real one for a few grand more...

Would be cheaper/quicker to just buy a VTiR and do it up.

[honrat]

Hi guys! the car has got a b18c7 engine.What do you guys think? Is that worth the price or should i ask for a cheaper price?

more than 10 grand.. the b18cr is already 6-7 k, unless he finds an eg worth 3k and he can diy the conversion.

to the op, what's your budget? if you plan spending over 20k then you could consider buying an EP3 (Civic Type R 2nd Gen) or a DC5R (Integra Type R 2nd Gen). at least they are newer..

you are getting ripped of paying that.

you can do a drive in and out b18cr conversion for about 6.5 k.

and eg gli is quite easy to find for 3 k. you just have to be patient and look.

trust me , i know atleast 4 people who have done this under 10 k, or spot on 10k

[outatime]

i dont have a b18cr. i'm basing those figures from the for sale thread and traders section

[hisoka]

you gotta look around for places that dont know honda or go to most workshops.

ofcourse traders on ozhonda are gonna sell for 7k, because this is were people come to look for the engine.

go to a import wrecker, you will find them to be around 5~6.

[02gzm]

Try a place that specialises in selling engines like QMR (http://www.qldmotorrecyclers.com.au/).

They had a few H22's and B16's quite cheap last month when I was helping someone else out. Might have a B18 or 2 now.

EDIT: or do a F20C conversion :P clicky (http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Wheels-Tyres-Parts-Accessories/Engines-Transmissions/AdNumber=W977239541189?BackToResult=true)

[hisoka]

that f20c sure looks nice

[EK1.6LCIV]

lol f20c

get a cxi, 5 stud conversion, coilovers, nice mags, i/h/e, seats, win :)

[hisoka]

lol thats enough for a b16a man

5lugs=1000
coilover=1000
nice mags= 1000, being genrous
ihe= atleast 1000 being genrous again LOL
seats= 1200. assuming his buying my recaros for sale :P

thats enough for b series

[honrat]

Thanks heaps guys.

Gee!this forum is great.

Now , i just have to look around slowly and will keep you guys updated.

Very much appreciated!!;)

[hisoka]

were is it ? post it up or pm me.

[MIVIC]

honrat might not want an eg or ep3? might be an ek type of guy.
in that case honrat.. if you have 17k to spend it is quite worth the b18c7.. because if you want to do it yourself you need to find the engine.. then find all the extra parts to put in the engine then change the suspension then change the exhaust.. the list goes on mate on top of that if you cant install the engine yourself that will cost an extra k + to install
but always ask for a lower price and see what you can get worth a try dont be scared.. tip: use any flaws on the cars.. dints eg to bargain down =D

[chauster]

im guessing ctr = ek9

lots of people get ek9s registered as ek1s for less of the problem.
if its a guenine ek9 for 17k thats cheap.
