[Englebert]

Indeed! Love the EK9, what wheels are they?

Lexus looks interesting but seems to be a visual copy of a Super GT car opposed to any real engineering going on there. The interior is a good copy but it looks to be a sat nav stuck in the dash lol.

Ok finally gotten round to taking some updated pics of how she currently stands. As the others on here were from various stages. Not brilliant but hopefully you get an idea of where she is going.

I know the wheels may not be to everyones taste being both small, and red , but I think they are a little cheeky...

And now the overnight bits from the US.... ta da.....

Above is everything, well except the exhaust centre section.

LCA's and tie bar

Backbox, to be honest it looks pretty well made, seems solid, with good welds. light too. All stainless and full 70mm. I think this is gonna be LOUD!!!!!. Does have a bung though.

gearknob, this is very heavy!

Any excuse to show the ARC kit again:

personally i'd try and pick up one of the EK9 Type Rx's (facelift models + year 2000+) seem to hold their value better.

Good point, they are bit harder to get hold of though aren't they. Anyway, DC2's are where it's at !

To add, nice EK9 you've get there, is it an Rx?

 

[Christopher]

WTF... Neil, you have a EP3 now? :S

 

[Gray]

WTF... Neil, you have a EP3 now? :S

previous owner.......

had it a little while been waiting for the right time, this will be daily whilst the clio undergoes proper track wh*ring

means i can spend less time on this forum.....away from the 140mph cnuts

yes mate it certainly is. ther are a couple of pics of my EK9 in a thread in clio discussion about my williams getting Written off.

they are a bit harder to get and you tend to pay a little more for them but will definitely hold their value better. From what im hearing, you can expect the EK9 market over here to become flooded over the next year or two with cheap and poor condition Ek9's, hence why'd i'd try and pick an Rx up.

DC2's are nice, i'll give you that!

 

[Nafoff]

LOL... under the radar FTW

Love it mate. What cage is it?

caged.....there a local company
