My uncle's kickass Honda Civic EK9

this is the rear side of my uncle's ek9.

this is the engine compartment of his car

a close up look at what a DOHC VTEC engine looks like. This engine can totally run...this car shifts within the redline zone (custom shift point at 9300 RPMs and I don't know where the ending is at).

What you guys are seeing here is a Momo Steering Wheel (later you'll see another picture of it up close), a Honda Civic Type R short shifter, an Apexi system monitor, three gauges for Water Temperature, Oil Temperature, and Oil Pressure, and the iPhone USB charger.

Here you guys see two Recaro racing seats he's got in his car, and I also believe that the back row is also Recaro but that I'm not too sure about.

Here is a close up picture of the Civic Type R Short Shifter as well as the three gauges like I mentioned above. Here you also see the iPhone USB car charger once again, the A/C climate controls, as well as the DVD player he's got installed in his car with the electronically controlled DVD monitor right above it.

Here is a close up look at the three gauges that were shown above in the two previous pictures. You can also tell that the three gauges are labeled 'Water temperature', 'oil temperature', and 'oil pressure'.

This is a closeup look of the civic type R short shifter, although you don't see the logo. My uncle explained to me that the reason why he thinks the gear shifter is a bit towards the right side rather than being in the center is because this shifter is from Japan. All cars from Japan are right hand drivers, not left hand drivers.

Here is a close up look of both the speedometer and the RPM gauge. As you can see in this picture, the RPM redline starts at 8500 RPMs and ends at 10,000 RPMs. Thing is, he set his highest shift point at 9300 RPMs. As for the speedometer, you can tell that this speedometer gauge also came from a Civic Type R so it's a pretty special speedometer.

This is the left rear window of his car. It's got the "CVCLUB" label because he does belong to a car club called the CV Club in Taiwan/

Now, I know you guys won't be able to tell where this part of the car was from but this was from the rear window. I just zoomed in on the logo because that is what the main point was about.

Here is a driver's seat view of the steering wheel as well as the instruments of the car. As you know from early on in this post, I mention that this steering wheel is a Momo Steering Wheel. Behind it on the right side is the Apexi system monitor that you can customize to set which car system you want to monitor. To the left of the A/C climate control, you will see a device with the word 'HARO' on it. that is the radio that my uncle uses to communicate with his friends whenever something happens or they just want to talk while driving instead of using their phones as this is a lot more convenient than talking on their phones. Towards the bottom, diagonal from the radio device, you can once again see the three gauges. Below the three gauges, barely making it's appearance into this photo, is the gear shifter knob.

Here is a separate picture of the the Momo steering wheel itself as well as the Apexi system monitor. The main point of this picture was the steering wheel itself but I didn't have enough space to capture the entire steering wheel and the system monitor was just there.

This is the Apexi system monitor up close.

These are all the instruments in the car except this time, in portrait mode.

This picture was more of a test to see how good the lighting would be with the camera flash enabled inside the car. As you can clearly tell, it is a bit better than the pictures with no flash on but there's that reflection of the camera flashing on the gauges themselves. What I like about this picture is that the CD player is also included in this picture.

This was also another camera flash test to see how good the lighting would be. The reason being is because, as you guys would have all seen in the previous pictures, the picture featuring the RPM gauge and the speedometer were dark, therefore you couldn't really see numbers. But in this picture, everything is much clearer and you can easily see the Civic Type R logo on the bottom of the speedometer gauge.

This is the back right side of the car, also showing the CVCLUB logo on the bottom of the window. Except this time, there's a logo of the tuner shop he sends it to for tuning and other additional things.

The main point of this picture isn't the car seat if you guys haven't figured it out already. It is a C pillar brace. Not quite sure what a C pillar brace does so I'll have to do some research on it. This EK9 is extremely light so that's why it needs this. And even the car seat is Recaro haha.

For this picture I'm not quite sure what car parts were from that company (the logo) but the wheels were not stock (nothing from this car is stock, all aftermarket parts.)

In this picture I tried to include both the rear windshield and the top wing-shaped carbon fiber part of the car. I had no idea what the carbon fiber part was for until I asked my uncle. He told me that when he's driving, the wind deflects off of that part of the car which in turn creates more downforce on the back side of the car, I guess to make it more stable. But anyways, That part and the engine hood is carbon fiber which you will see later in the upcoming pictures.

Here is the carbon fiber engine hood that I mentioned in the previous photo. It just looks awesome.

This picture was taken with flash on when the garage was dark. The quality was better than I had expected so I have nothing else to say about the quality. Here you can see both the Recaro racing seats as well as most of the Momo Steering Wheel. You can also see the iPhone Window suction cup mount as well as the roll cage.

This is the front part of my uncle's car. I blurred out the license plate number for privacy reasons. In my own personal opinion, I think the carbon fiber hood goes really well with the rest of the car, in terms of color and appearance. What I also like about this picture is how the flash made the headlights look. The left headlight (facing the car) reflected the flash off but the right side did not.

Here you can see the chin spoiler (or as other people also call it, the front splitter). I'm guessing this car part is to allow the car to cut through the wind, also somehow producing downforce on the front end of the car but not quite sure how that works. I don't study car body kits that much so I'll need to do a bit more research on that.

Here is the back side of the car, the entire body pit was swapped out and lower suspension was also installed so the car looks extremely low although not as low as some of the 'slammed' cars in Japan (some of the cars in Japan are so low that the wheels had to be curved inwards). You can also see the exhaust pipe which connects all the way across the bottom side of the car to the manifolds of the engine.

Here, like I mentioned above, the entire body kit was swapped out so nothing is stock.

Last but not least, one of the main logos of this car. Whatever performance part that was added to this car would most probably have been from a Civic Type R. This is one of the real deals of this car.

this is me in the driver's seat before I take his car for a drive. I didn't do well, I stalled 3 times before I rolled out the first time and stalled another 2 times before I rolled out a second time (my uncle counted). But overall, the ride was a blast. I honestly loved this car ever since I was a child. I basically grew up riding in this car. This car is one of the reasons why I love cars today. Even though I drive an American Muscle car, I also do love import tuners and this is why. People may consider my uncle a ricer after seeing these pictures, but in reality, he's really not. This car packs 240 horsepower, all motor, no turbos or superchargers and I'm not quite sure how much torque it's got but it can beat pretty much any car in the area that's not a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. I went on a street race with him this trip and believe me, the ride was amazing. The first time ever, even I felt the adrenaline rush just from sitting in the passenger's seat, NOT the driver's seat, but the passenger's seat. That's how awesome it was. But the sad thing is, this car was sold about a week after I took these photos. I will always remember this car and will always love it, because it is one hell of a beast. I wish the best for this car and hope that this next owner will not treat it harshly in any way.
