EK9: Civic EK9 TypeRx special edition, specification & details
After owning my EK9 for so many years now, I recently realized that my EK9 is actually not a standard TypeR, but a TypeRx special edition! I’m quite excited and shocked I didn’t know this all the time! I had heard about the lightweight / race-bace / N1 and other special editions and i’ve heard about the Rx version before, but I always thought the differences would be so obvious, that I never realized my Car is different from other EK9’s. Naturally, I had to research the topic, and I’d like to share my findings with you, also because it wasn’t too easy to find a lot of useful information.…

OTHER: A quiet greatness – Japanese Car encyclopedia

I love the feel and smell and look and the fact that you know some serious time was put into creating a real masterpiece. And “A quet greatness” is exactly that.

The look and feel of these…

Eagle-eyed readers will notice that it’s very similar to the earlier “Nissan Sports option” catalgoues in style, so i think they just took over all the parts and layouts and added some more in the early days. The main difference is that you have one catalogue for all their cars and products, rather than single leaflets for the individual cars. So you will find all the usual suspects like MK63 brakes, competition…

GARAGE: Datsun Special Tool wall & Garage Entrance completed!
Our garage entrance belongs to the part of our in-laws house, but we’re allowed to use it, obviously. The father-in-law always tried to keep it tidy, but the compressed gravel somehow always ended up inside the garage. So when our neighbours decided to build a house, he asked the concrete guys there if they could bring some extra concrete and do the garage entrance. They settled a deal and the work began: Rebar got laid: And fine concrete poured: Then it got flattened: My Father-in-law then took his time to complete the connecting stones, after the molds got removed: But i have to admit the result is awesome. So much…
