prob a rebuild , wont be a genuine ek9, cant bring it into NSW

Really? I never knew NSW cant have an ek9.. poor bastards :P

Next time check the studs to see if its 5 stud or not.
I saw one here in boxhill a dark blue or black one (it was dark) n i just saw the CTR wing, i thought wata tryhard ek9! prob only a ek1! n then i checked it out closer.. had 5 stud volks, recaros and original red H badging..
Still could be a fake, all that can be put on any EK, but i doubt people would go to those lengths?

all of my friends have seen this silver 'ek9'
they are all honda fans and know wha the real one is like
they say this silver one has:
recaro interior
5 stud wheels
and yes a mugen kit

they have taken pix of it on their fones
but i wanna see the thing myself

What this silver 'EK9' doesn't have, and I'm assuming this is the same one that I see around Sydney, are the 'blacked-out' headlights...

isn't this the one from QLD that was for sale a while back??? it's the only silver ek9 i've heard of... and i know i got pics too

it doesn't got the "black" front light which geniue EK9 should have

**SiR JDM** · 10-10-2004 05:09 AM

I was thinking that too :P

**gelo** · 10-10-2004 10:50 AM

so does that mean its not a genuine ek9?

**Mitch M** · 10-10-2004 10:53 AM

YES i have seen the one

i did a quick loop around the block [he was on the side of the road] to check the amount of wheel studs .... i was greatly impressed

either he has gone to alot of trouble and expense to make this replica ... or its real ... i am pretty sure its the second option
