Daiki Ninomiya's Honda Civic

Daiki Ninomiya's Honda Civic Type R (EK9), also known simply as the Civic, the Type R or the EK9, is the signature car of Todo School student Daiki Ninomiya. It is the second Honda Civic encountered in the series.

History
Daiki Ninomiya is one of the top students of the Todo School, and the school's headmaster, Todo, oversaw the modifications to Daiki's EK9.

During Project D's Tochigi expedition, they came to the Enna Skyline to challenge the Todo School, with Daiki going up against Project D's downhill specialist, Takumi Fujiwara. Daiki is initially reluctant to battle with Takumi, due to him driving an Eight-Six, however he changes his tune by the night of the battle, as he is curious about Takumi as a driver.

Daiki begins the race behind Takumi, wishing to watch him race. Satisfied in knowing that the Eight-Six is better than expected, Daiki decides to try to overtake, with the easiest way being to apply pressure until Takumi makes a mistake, however, on orders from Ryosuke Takahashi, Takumi is not using his rearview mirror. Daiki is amazed by how Takumi isn't making any mistakes and realizes his own mistake in choosing to follow. The race continues into a second round, with Daiki starting in the lead. Daiki is amazed by Takumi's ability to keep up with him, believing that he is going above his opponent's top speed. The two cars enter a corner at the same time, with Takumi managing to pull ahead, winning the race.

Ex-Todo School student and professional racer Tomoyuki Tachi would later use this car to break the Enna Skyline downhill record that Takumi had set a short while before.
