EK9 in Australia?

[mcdare]

Hi guys, i'm wondering if its possible to purchase a brand new EK9 here. and how to go about doing it. I'm interested in gettin' one. thanks :)

[heist]

cant get them here...only personal import or rebuild

[danni_d]

well... i don't think it is possible to get a new ek9 anywhere mate.

u could only get second hand ones. but ek9's are quite rare so... good luck finding one.. and if u do.. hope u have the money for it lol.

and how do i know this.. i use to want an ek9 but i realised they are just too rare. and i found one going for 27k.. so screw that crap.. i rather get a jdm dc2r then an ek9. it's faster and cheaper as well.

[Nodachi]

it will be hard... unless u want to live in a coutry which has EK9 available and own the car for a car... importing though as personal import...

You could try the EP3 cause it's listed as available to be imported though SEVS, however the question is who could get it for you.
the price is also another issue, with EP3 and all the extra cost importing it, you might as well get your self a Type R instead..

[mcdare]

Do i get the EP3 thru an importer? Any specific ones in brisbane? I understand the costs involved but I still prefer the EP3 over the dc2R, and theres already heaps of DC5s running on the roads... might as well get something different. A conversion is too troublesome too.

[alan]

umm....u can't get brand new EKs anymore.
do u mean the EP3?

[ekslut]

You can't get EP3's yet either unless its a personal import. No one in Australia complies them yet, but they have been approved for import.

So unless you plan on living in Japan for a year and doing a personal import, you got no chance until someone does compliancing for the EP3.

[8100rpm]

[evilsub]

oh ? whys that ?

[Civic Type R]

Do what i did.
Buy a VTiR hatch.
Have an EK9 stripped overseas and import all the parts and drop them into your EK4.
Then import the engine and running gear (Integra type R is better and cheaper) and have that installed.

EK9 dont have sunroofs ~ yo!

I like your car :wave:.....id tap it

[**Ghost**]

ek9 is an excellent car, but a little overrated... buying an ek4 then spending extra money on that is th ebetter way to get a good b16 hatch imho

Hey man, you sure you want EK9 or EP3, you probably can get a 'new' EP3 from Japan, but EK9 very rare now in Japan to find one like new...

[spoondc2]

You'll have more fun by getting an ek4 and put whatever you like on it

my personal choice

Agree :thumbsup:

[DC5R8]

forget about it...unless u get a rebirth one..

[NogZ]

you'd be paying a lot just for the rarity of the car mate. If you were after its jdm status then by all means go for an EK9.

I'd like to suggest the more viable/sane options of
1.dc2r (faster, and still got the Type-R flavour :D ), or
2. if you really like the EK model get an EK4 and do what Civic Type R did

and as the post above said, EK4 gets a sunroof y0

[daniel vtec]

yeah get an ek4 and convert itt....tats wat im currently doing....it takes a while though...

[mini_s2000]

and don't forget that ek9's only come out in yellow, black, white, and red i think?

[Civic Type R]

The first gen EK9 comes in Cham. white.
The second gen EK9 type Rx is available in yellow, white, black and silver

yes agreed it does take a long time and effect to find all the right parts at the right price

[phantom_civic]

i know some that has a EK9 and its black. ^^

[Chi]

This one is for sale in NZ, might be able to import it.

Looks like you can buff the small dent out.

I am not quite sure why you posted that here. Are you trying to sell it?

There is no point in reviving an old thread just to post a car for sale - please keep it to the lounge.

[blu3illusion84]

get ek4 and turbo it!!
end of story :D

[dyljoy]
