Ek9 Ctr

[90LAN]

if that civic ek9 came from brisbane
it is a aussie shell with the ek9 parts swapped over
my mate worked on the car it was owned by a certain panel shop
just check the vin tags easy as
how do i know the guy who bought it came from perth

thanks for the info 90LAN

that makes sense the prev owner owned a panel shop, too $$$ to pay someone to respray the whole shell in CW colour and R&R everything else. He would have been able to get his workers to work on the car when the panel shop is not busy as well as able to write some/most/all of the costs off as shop expenses proivided the shop turns over enough.

for me that would be too hard/expensive excercise and the car is never a EK9 with the factory reo on the shell and forever a EK CXi or GLi on the rego papers.

just have a good look at it
the work is pretty good u wouldnt be able to tell the difference
by the way car sold for 21K

[EG30]

$21K well well worth it, a lot more desirable than a stock DC2R. I would been very happy with it myself despite being a replica.

for me to do the same it would cost $8 to $10K for a good clean EK to start with and a good donar car which wouldn't be cheap oe easy to find plus the labour for the R&R and paint and the rest.

there are lots of minor bits and pieces that has to be changed besides the panels to make it a real EK9, if you guys have noticed, CEK9's use a 5-nut rims compared to a 4-nut on the Normal civic, I know most conversion are done by using Spacers and converting them to 5 nuts... I've seen a few conversions from a EJ Civic to a EK civic in Malaysia, there was one that just used a Spacer, dropped a B16C, changed the headlights, seats, all the cosmetic stuff and another one did every single thing including buying the entire suspension set from a CTR, taking apart the entire car and re-welding it to EK9 standards and if you drive them both on a track, you'll feel the vast difference. Only after they did all that, it started driving like a real EK9.

and EG30, if you're really looking for an EK9, take the 99 one's instead of the 97's like the one in the picture, it looks much better.

well im running oem ctr 5 stud coversion and its as easy as 123 to change over!
im talking about this particular ctr as i have seen its tranformation
its not that hard to do if you have a complete ctr and a ek shell
just swap every thing over, but were not talking about particular cars in Malaysia that sound half arse dodgy using spacers are we?
if you can read between the lines the car used a oz shell due to the fact it was not a personal import so it could not be registered so the next best thing that could be done was to tranfer the goodies over!
