Default Friend just picked up this EK... what you think?

>>> Listed on ebay <<<

Paid 10k for it. My bro just saw it. I was going to ride out to see it, but parents car in the way I'm going to try and get some personal pics tomorrow. Maybe I can clean my Ek and get in the shoot as well. I don't think ebay allows direct linking so Ijust posted the ebay link above.

I'm not crazy about the hood, bumper, or mirrors. Still a clean EK none the less

This is going to be his daily driver. He's working on an AWD Galant at the house with a stroker motor

Try one pic from the auction:

seen that car on honda-tech before... looks nice.

I wouldn't have paid 10,000 for it unless it had a k20a.,... just my opinion.

I hate how so many people on h-t are anti-honda all of a sudden. Stock GS-Rs and EM1s still go for more than 10k all the time. That is NOT a bad price for that car.

I'll bet if that were a Camaro people would be like "damn! sweet."

I'd rather have the B Series, Thank you very much. Looks like a good buy if you ask me. Quality parts and the car looks clean as hell.

Nice parts on the car; seems like a good deal. Get a different front bumper or fill it up with an intercooler.
