Hey guys, this is my car! If anyone has original facelift floormats please drop me a message. I managed to get original trims to replace the carbon stickers + new OEM badges front and rear , the mats would finish it off nicely.
congrats on your civic r
Ok do you know Dane Gross??
For sale?
How much did you pay
Wow this thing is amazing, congrats to the owner!
This is peak Honda. The B16B is an engineering masterpiece.
Keep in mind that the "strut tower bars" (bars directly connecting the shock towers) are named that for a reason. It is basically purely aesthetic on double wishbone cars: They provide an imperceptible difference unless the car actually has a strut suspension. Sway bars are way more relevant for double wishbones.
Well looks like it comes from factory. I guess it definitely made a difference otherwise they wouldn't bother
@@radityaindera3442 "If it's done at the factory it can't possibly only be for aesthetics".
May want to rethink that
@@MrCarGuy how come it doesn’t really stiffen the strut towers a double wish bone suspension car? I thought since it’s a strut bar it would help strengthen the strut towers, but I would like to know why it wouldn’t cause a difference on a double wish bone car?
Not true at all
There's noticeable difference on old chassis' say from the late 80s early 90s
As the structures became stronger through the generations the bars do less
@@heyitsdurancitooo5212 Regardless of being double wishbone the strut tops still take vertical force which these bars stop and also box the engine bay
You can 100% feel it in the steering
I'm not arguing that it helps handling but steering feels much more direct
Stunning example. EK9 in champ white is just beautiful
Hey Derek! glad to see another legendary Honda on the channel. I was able to purchase an amazing R Honda from the 2000s based on your advice. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
That's really cool
This has been one of my dream cars forever. I had a 96 hatch with a h22 in it. I miss VTEC!!!!!!!!!
Great car, excellent video..
Shout out to Derrick for the great videos.
Big fan, keep it up
This is my dream car. I'm very close to throwing all of my money at one, but I already own an EP3 Type R (UKDM).
I traded my DC5 Type R for one 😉
The EP3 is a good car. The EK9 would be an upgrade from that but one that comes at a stiff cost. You might save some money if you just buy an NB Miata on the side.
IIRC the engine is called B16B and not C. :) Love the videos as always!
Yep!
Thanks
Pep
You're still alive and what a way to show that!
It's been VERY busy in the PCA office. We sold over 100 cars last month. It's a new record.
Great video. Going to be ordering a 97’ ek9 type R from you in the next few months. Excited!
Then you can be our second even EK9.
Hands down my favourite car all time, this car made me love cars in general, I hope one day I’d be able to own one
I was getting worried del boy good to see you back cheers 🍻 top vid.
That’s a great idea, bicycle cup holder hanging from the side console, I’m taking that idea 💡
Finally you return with a banger nice to see such a clea civic type R!
Beautiful find! I love the ek9. This video makes me wish I would have had a video made of my DC2 I just purchased lol
I'm just running in the 90s it's new way to bankruptcy 🎶 🎶 💀 😂
I prefer the looks of the sedan, sadly Honda never made a Type R version of it...
i'm a year late, But likewise.
If i had the money and resources, I'd love to take a coupe from the same generation, And make it into a Type-R as much and authentic as possible.
It wouldn't make it a true Type-R but it would give the experiene of what a Type-R coupe could be.
Which is an idea/concept i've had in my head for years now.
Looks like it is in great condition.
Nice
Been while since the last video but worth the wait , beauty of car them , I do think I'd have the dc2 but only because I think it's easier to find .
The legend
Insane car 👍👍🥇
very cool! can you do another video just walking the auction to see what cool stuff you can find?
I wish I could but it goes against the auctions rules. You have to find videos like that on channels that don't actually sell cars. Otherwise the auction houses might take our license. They don't mess around and it's really a shame. I loved shooting those videos.
Long time no see!
Hope there is a video coming on that Bora/Jetta!
Sorry man, it was only here for a lift up of the suspension and then off to the shipping port.
@ 3:44 did you hold the hood on your head while closing it 🤔😂
The holy grail
really nice car Derek! by the way is the jetta going to the dumpster ?( is a joke i only know thst those cars always have issues with the cooling system)
Those Jettas are awesome. 2800cc VR6 with a 6 speed manual. That one was only there to be lifted up for shipping.
Carpets are definitely aftermarket. Original ones are completely red. Still have a spare set 😅
Hey, I'm the guy who bought this car! Please get in touch with me if you want to sell them :)
@@ek9_civic_ What you do with the checkered ones?
You are right about sway bars. They are probably the best upgrade apart from tires. For the tower bars you are speaking truth. On a double wishbone car, you will probably only really notice if you are racing on a track but it's a cheap enough part that it makes sense to put on. Hence why many manufactures have them as factory on their cars with double wishbone suspension.
B16B Derek
Silver ek9 type r are super rare
Unicorn
Those look to me like Coco floor mats. Sisal, high quality expensive stuff.
8:50 did dude just casually ride by on Honda 50?
WOW!!!
1.6 litre B16b engine
a lot bigger unicorn is primera hp10 autech, but somehow no review:/
Sorry, most cars we buy go to dealers and they aren't shared on the channel. The Autech Primera was absolutely a gem. It's the best an SR20 has ever felt to me.
@@PacificCoastAuto no worries;p..just compaining to complain;)..i know everything about them n seen enough of photos n a couple videos..in essence primera p10 is more than colse to me as i still own a couple of them since 2002, so i know them to a single bolt.
B16B
i would like to buy one of thoes ek9, can that be shipp to the us
Not until they are 25 years old. They started in 1998 (a year after the EK debuted) so next year they will be legal. Bring a wheelbarrow of money.
Is it for sale ?
Looks like mad4motors car
3 more years until USA import?
yes (25 years)
1997 model can be imported this year
I have the real deal Mugen D-series header I need the real Mugen B-series header
Me too, I love those small little bomb!
