This EK9 Civic type R was sourced to special order for a Finnish customer wanting a top quality
high spec EK9, that would be registered in UK, so it would then be easy to import onward to
Finland as an EU import. The customer wanted an original car originally, but then began to change
his mind as he planned lots of modifications. So we sourced a stunning example with well chosen
performance modifications already fitted, thus saving him a bundle of money in the process!
The Type R philosophy is not about building the most powerful, or fastest car for straight line
performance. It's about creating a car that provides a well-engineered, but exciting driving
experience better than available elsewhere! To offer this, every Type R needs to have certain key
characteristics: Racing pedigree, pure lightweight focus on handling with no unnecessary weight
or equipment. Going fast is part of the Type R experience, but not everything. Equipped with
double wishbone suspension, the Type R has very strong levels of handling in addition to
performance in gear change quality, braking, steering and handling. Also of course, there's the
engine - Much like a racing unit even in standard tune. 185 bhp from a 1.6 litre engine is one of the
highest specific power outputs of any n/a production car ever made!
Because of the above attiributes, styling and driving dynamics, the EK9 Type R is considered by
many Honda enthusiasts as the ultimate Civic. Make no mistake - this is a far superior driver's car
than the UK built EP3 Civic Type R. The Japanese have never really got to grips with the EP3, but
have done extensive work in producing tuning parts to make this serious pocket rocket even more
balistic... This is the wildest FWD N/A car ever made and was only officially sold in Japan from
1997-2000. No other countries received this top machine. Factory Specification: Lightweight spec.

Mirrors, Fitted Mats, Privacy Glass on the rear, Rear Spoiler, Double wishbone suspension, etc.
Includes the following high spec modifications: Ohlins Coilovers, Buddy Club P1 alloy wheels,
Zero 1000 induction kit, Samco Radiator hoses, NGK / Apexi Racing ignition lead set, Apexi
Power FC ECU & Commander, Fujitsubo Exhaust (Cat Back), Close ratio gearset, 2 way LSD,
Pivot shift light, Omori vaccum gauge, HKS water temp gauge, Momo Steering Wheel, OMP seat
(Replaced with a Mint condition original EK9 matching Recaro Driver's seat),
Our verdict: Its got some excellent additional modifications that really help make it perform better.
We discovered its got a limited slip differential, which means youll not be getting any inside wheel
spin when really pushing it out of corners! Ideal as the Ohlins suspension soaks up bumps without
being harsh & really allows this car to be pushed hard! The gearbox also appears to benefit from a
close ratio conversion, so as soon as its on V-tec mode this car just stays there!! The Apexi Power
FC is evidently well tuned too and with the induction kit and exhaust fitted, it sounds awesome and
goes like a scalded cat!!. Clutch is also uprated, by the way. Its not harsh, but we know its not
standard but heavy duty ideal for hard starts / acceleration. Brakes are also very strong and it
would appear the discs have recently been changed too. The gear knob will come later with the
cars documents. With the selected modifications on this and the cars condition its evidently been
very much a well loved car. Its an awesome example, considering its age! Some nice touches, like
headlights not yellowed, with the front indicators set to glow orange when the headlights are on
Makes it easy to know this cars following you. This cars one of a kind J!
The pictures were shot in Yokohama (where we keep cars in stock in Japan) before bringing it
back to our offices at the outskirts of Tokyo. To prepare for shipping, we had the front splitter
removed and resprayed along with the rear bumper painted. Also the light dent on the front
passenger wing was pushed out and painted, with the side skirts repaired The result: A mint EK9!
J!The car is of auction grade 4 (Auction sheet available). Clearly it's been garaged or kept under
cover as the paint's in excellent condition, not faded and even the headlights still look like new!
Note the missing trim at the rear C pilars. Good used parts were found inexpensively to complete
the interior.
Stunning machine this.... The customer has at this point only heard what's in store. Having driven
it ourselves we know it'll definitely bring a massive smile to his face. This is a seriously well sorted
pocket rocket which has no right to be quite as quick as it is!! He's also taken the opportunity to
source further FEEL's, Mugen and Spoon tuning parts and cosmetic items, to tidy the engine bay
through www.neweraparts.com Make no mistake, this is one scweeeet EK9 that's bound to upset
some larger more powerful cars on Finnish roads shortly !!

(1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that
we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so
we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a
car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required.
(2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as
your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we
will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget
too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can
find, plus a set fee of £900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the
corresponding saving.
(3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if
applicable). The deposit is usually £1,000. If you want a car worth over £10K OTR,
then the deposit is £1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should
you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are
reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred
provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan.
(4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching
for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In
addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers
searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we
havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or
exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed,
though it frequently costs less.
(5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing
all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR
price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time
theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK.
(6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time
the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately
60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at
all times prior to you collecting it.
(7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so
that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our
UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing,
to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition.
(8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final
instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing,
registraton etc.
(9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt
spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days
for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs.
(10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury
aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA
tested & MOTd (If applicable).
All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is
fully valetted just before you collect it.
(11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as
the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the
car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate.
