Clean Civic I use to want one of those Type-R's when I was a Honda owner.

Welcome to the Club Lexus.

Nice hatch. If I had one it would probably look similar to yours.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas! i really hope i get this gs this week because I've wanted one for so long. I'm tired of the same ol' same ol' with the Honda scene and I'm ready to rock something that's more luxurious and sophisticated.


and im already in love with Junction Produce haha

Did you convert the EK9 to a right hand drive? or is the pic just a mirror image. I have a friend that did that and it was a lot of work. My first vehicle was a DA6. did the all motor crap on a b18A, got it to safely maintain revs at 7200 (too much engine work to mention) No it wasn't an LS/Vtec conversion. It was strictly and LS motor with a lot done to it. Damn, I wish I still had it.

yea i think its dut's old hatch rite? Such a rare EK9 should only have a B16B. haha, a K20in a ek9 would be sick but!
We've got about 2-3 ek9's in Sydney.....I used to have a EG9 sedan

good luck with the GS, You'll love it and black is a nice colour.
