Win our freshly restored K20 EK9

As many of you will have seen over the last 12 months, we acquired this rare Phoenix Yellow EK9 Civic Type R as a rolling shell, with one clear objective: to carry out a no-compromise, ground-up rebuild.

Simon, our resident Honda guru, took charge of the project from day one, putting together the ultimate specification list, headlined by a K20 engine conversion to deliver modern performance while staying true to the car’s motorsport roots.

Absolutely no stone has been left untouched. The underside has been stripped back to bare metal before being refinished in body colour, with all subframes, suspension arms, and brackets powder-coated, and zinc-plated hardware used throughout.

The whole car has been freshly painted, including the engine bay and interior; the finish on this now is better than new!
