CAR OVERVIEW
Honda Civic Type R EK9 Motorsport 1999
Overview
If the standard EK9 is raw, this one turns the dial even further. Built with a motorsport edge and fitted with the right upgrades, this is not just a car for the road, it is a car for drivers who understand what a lightweight, high-revving Honda is all about.
Finished in Championship White with red interior, and now featuring a carbon bonnet and track-focused upgrades, this example leans firmly into its racing DNA.

Condition Overview
A Grade 4 car with a C-rated interior, reflecting its use and modifications. Mechanically appealing and clearly built with driving in mind, but cosmetically showing wear throughout.
This is not a show car, it is a driver’s car.
Defects and Markings (Auction Sheet Explained)
- W2 – noticeable paint imperfections or waviness (multiple areas)
- AU1 – light dent with paint damage
- A3 – heavier scratch
- U1 – light dent
- A2 – medium scratch
- U2 – moderate dent
- XX (bonnet) – replaced panel, in this case an aftermarket carbon bonnet
- Additional notes include:
- Console hole
- Dashboard holes
- Seat tear and interior wear
- Trim scratches and glovebox issue
- Boot area scratches
- Aftermarket steering wheel fitted
- Wheel damage
- General small scratches, dents and imperfections throughout
- These are consistent with a modified, enthusiast-owned car and should be expected given its purpose and age.
Driving Experience
This is where this car makes total sense.
The EK9 platform is already one of the best front wheel drive chassis ever built. Add reduced weight, sharper components and a more aggressive setup, and you get a car that feels alive at any speed.
The VTEC engine still delivers that addictive top-end surge, but the real highlight is the connection. Steering feel, throttle response and chassis balance all combine to create something that modern cars simply cannot offer.
Summary
A proper enthusiast’s EK9, built with intent.
If you are looking for a clean collector car, this is not it. If you want something you can drive hard, enjoy and potentially develop further, this is exactly the kind of car that delivers.
Low mileage for its age and the right base to build or enjoy as it sits.
