My ej8 build!

Post by MR_ej8 »

Ok well, first off this is going to be more of a timeline to get you guys current. I have went through my picture library and facebook and picked out a few of the best pictures to document everything I've done so far. Alright, so i bought this car in February of 2010, and it has come a long way since I got it. It was bone stock except for suspension which was just neuspeed sport springs. When i got it, there were only 67,XXX original miles which is nuts!! Anyway, here is a list of current mods. Really not much, but there's a lot i have planned for this car :D

Engine:
D16y8
DC sports cat back
egay 4-2-1 header
enjen SRI

Suspension:
Rokkor coilovers
mugen rep front upper strut bar
stock everything else for now

Exterior:
CTR headlights
OEM Si fogs
Fit lip
OEM Si grille
Front license plate relocator


Wheels:
16x7 +35 MSR something painted a custom blue color. looks sooo close to mag blue its awesome.
205/45

Interior:
EP3 seats
Nardi Steering wheel with NRG quick release
Buddy Club shift knob
Circuit hero shift extender
5 panel wink mirror



I thnk that covers the current mods. Not a whole lot but there's still a lot I plan on getting. Finally just got a good job so I can start buying the fun stuff for my car :)


anyway, this is going to be a sucky build thread as far as my car's past upgrades and such go because, well I was in high school and broke, plus I never documented upgrades very well as far as pictures go. But future upgrades I will definitely be more thorough :) ok here goes

February 2010 picked my car up from local honda dealership. Bone stock, 67,000 ORIGINAL miles. Only mod was neuspeed lowering springs!
ta-da!

and
Image

And then I got these jank wheels. I was 17 and broke so they were cool haha. oh yeah and tinted windows. and had to get rid of the ugly grille and replace it with brand new oem si grille :)
Image

Then some time went by and I got a DC Sports cat back exhaust for christmas! I still have it to this day and love it! The sound is soooo much better than I thought it'd be since it was on the cheaper side compared to Greddy, Skunk2, and Apexi.

Image

And then more time passed and I was all like hmmm depressed I can't spend the money for real CTR... might as well paint the stock ones! So i bought a can of duplicolor metalcast in gunmetal and they turned out great!
Image
and on the car looked amazing!
Image

and then some more long time passed like bazillion years or so and I got some new wheels! that's right, i spent my graduation money on wheels :)) :)) :)) anyway, brand is MSR i think and they are 16x7 +35 offset. the guy I bought them from had them painted a custom blue. I still love these wheels but am kinda wanting to trade now.... anyway here's a picture and apparently my phone at the time made my car look orange
Image

And then a whole bunch more time went by and I got some OEM fogs and a sheet of yellow vinyl film! pure sex.

Image
and installed
Image

And then interior upgrades!!
first one was buddy club shift knob. i likes it.
Image

and then circuit hero shift extender in neochrome
Image

and then.......Nardi steering wheel black suede red stitching, NRG quick release (just had wheel on in pic bc my 19 month old was pretending he was driving) wink mirror, and EP3 seats

Image

and my most prized possession so far...
OEM CTR headlights, I traded a guy my headlights plus 200 bucks for these and they're only 2 months old! Definitely got the better end of the deal, i did.

Image


Couple weeks after I got the CTR lights, I ordered the city light kit from ICB.

Image

Image
sure is purdy

Image

and then rokkor coilovers!l
Image
and this is how she sits!
Image
Image

that's all for right now. much more to come!

Thanks man, I might be getting rid of it soon. I have big plans for the interior. I really want a skunk2 shift knob and chrome circuit hero shift extender instead of neochrome since everything else is black and red. I think that would match better.

thanks!

put my blue wheels back on and had to raise it thanks to the stupid wide tire. after raising a second time i finally got it as low as i can without putting my fender in danger of being totally efffed. here's where its at.. for now. once i get new wheels and tires i should be able to go quite a bit lower. this definitely is better than the neuspeed springs though!
