Nope sure wasnt .only time I had it advertised was up on pistonheads a year ago when I was away in scotland for a laugh had no intention of selling just wanted to see the interest in it....got a alot of cash offers around the asking price even to the stage when I raised the price by a grand or 2 so to see if the offers kept coming and to my pleasent surprise they did but still wouldnt sell it as is costing me alot lot more.....

That is just awesome.

Im kinda speechless.

I wish I had the skills and the money to do this to mine.

I know you probably haven't tracked it or dragged it yet but it will be interesting to see what kinda times it puts down on the 1/4 if you ever do.

Hows does the K20 feel in the EF9? Have you been in a B18 or B20 EF to compare ??

Id love to go in this, my wish should come true soon (or in a few years times) when Dan's is done!

p.s. if only it was black

Nice EF

This was built by Icetronix wasn't it? I heard they won't do another one now as its too much hassle.

If you are ever up near my way, let me know. (Its Kilkenny you live isn't it?) I'd love to have a good look at a k20 EF.

I was considering a K20 EF if I decide against a 240Z, would be an expensive buid though, If I included things like a drysump and Sequntial Gearbox.

I'm pretty sure he's had a B18C EF.

I'd be interested in how they compare also.

@ Tahir yah man Ive imported a good few ef9's.had normal b16 and a b18c5 one among them.... the b18c one was ridiculously fast had lot of head work and aftermarket ecu along with all the usual bits its used a one of main time attack cars in ireland last ive seen it...id like to race him now in mondello at some stage in the new year to see how the two compare....the torque is unreal in the k20 serious power alrite defo more than the tuned b18c but not so sure how it will handle on track with this engine as opposed to b series setup.....time will tell haha

PS I Love black too will build another b18c ef9 in future which will be black best of both worlds ha

@ee9 no man nothing got to do with icetronics they didnt touch the car alot of parts were got through them for the conversion alrite though... and yes your right this is the car why they will refuse to do any k20 swaps as they know how difficult it was to build ... car was started by a guy who used to work for them thats how you may have thought they did it..anyways he lost interest in it as he couldnt get it right and I bought it from him after selling my b18c ef9 a week before hand and I finished it.....when i say finished it I mean nearly changed everything haha was alot to be done for it to work smoothly and to get it to look like it is today and Im still not finished with it....taking my time but sure if somethings worth doing its worth doing right

Yah man Im from Kilkenny ... but most likely this ef9 wont see the road too often as il be using it as track car so dont be shy if you see it at mondello in the not too distant future and say hello haha

@everyone thanks for all the nice comments
