Honda Civic EK9 Type R 🇯🇵
The lightweight hot hatch that defined a whole era of VTEC performance.
Up top sits Honda's legendary B16B engine — 1.6L NA, hand-ported, high-compression, and revving to the heavens. A close-ratio 5MT, helical L*D, and a body trimmed down to the essentials made the EK9 one of the sharpest front-wheel-drive cars of its time.
Why the EK9 still has a cult following:
• B16B 1.6L VTEC — 10.8:1 compression, 185 hp, and an 8,400 rpm redline
• Seam-welded chassis — tighter, stiffer, and more responsive than a regular Civic
• Helical L*D — lets you fire out of corners with surprising grip
• Lightweight ethos — thinner glass, reduced sound deadening, and Recaro SR3 seats
• Timeless design — compact proportions, clean lines, and iconic Championship White
Current market prices for Honda Civic EK9:
👉 Starting around $3,399 USD
👉 Clean, original, or lightly modified cars can reach up to $4,161 USD*
*Price varies based on condition, originality, mileage, and past maintenance
