Hey, this is my new ej8...

Just bought it today and wanted some feedback I guess. On both sides above the door it looks like a lift was dropped on it, otherwise it has extensive dings here and there but nothing major. 134xxx on stock d16y8. The entire car is BONE STOCK! In the mean time, just looking to fix it before starting any mods. Currently needs an o2 sensor so it throws a CEL, otherwise mechanically sound. Don't have much money so there's only so much I can do currently (I'm a broke college student!) lol

I greatly appreciate any input =]

haha that's exactly what I thought! I bought it from some cambodian kid who i'm guessing didn't pay much attention to it (he has a rsx type s and an integra ls) but by the stickers and all the s**t that was in it I'm guessing a chic had it maybe??? anyways, this car's got a loooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg way to go before i'm at least satisfied with it, hopefully I can have it on the road soon though (still don't have it registered)

But thanx for the input guys =]
