Egnines Ej8 Build Up

[mahalo]

whats up cc. this is my first actual build thread just traded my ef hatch for this beautiful ej8.
its not perfect got some rust spots on the rear quarters. luckily im a body man and that will be cleaned up very soon.

only got a few crappy cell pics. i will take more and better ones when i get paid and buy a new camera charger.

thread will be a little slow due to i just moved out on my own and my budget skills arnt very good yet.

anyway on with the pics

near future plans are...
99-00 tails
f&fs fo sho
stock exhaust
most likely some different rims

havnt decided whether im gonna go boosted d or gsr
this car is going to be very low profile due to thick ass cops were i live.
but she will still be ballin so stay tuned

Nice pick up dude. This car is way better than that ef you had lol. I recommend the turbo D. You will dominate B swapped eks all day I assure you of this.

i was leaning more towards the boosted d. ive always liked being the underdog

 

[somejaykid]

the car looks good op good luck with the build yo

yep. my car has been under estimated on plenty of occasions, but if you do it right with a nice setup, throw in some head studs and get a good tune you will be all set. Mines been under boost for almost 4 years now.

yea i have always wanted to do a turbo d. i just need to research on it a little more ive gotten the b swaps down. never messed with a turbo before though so should be a good learning experience. thanks for the advice and i love your car btw. shoulda stuck with the spoon wheels imo haha

good trade op, and gl with the build. you should look for a nice quiet exhaust instead of the stock one just so it looks a bit better. boosted d ftw!

looks very clean man

thanks guys yea im gonna go back to stock until i get the motor built like i said im trien to stay low profile cuz of thick cops here aka no loud annoying exhaust, and gotta sell my jmags cuz there way to flashy

Nice trade dude!! good base to work on there...Boosted D FTW!!! im going to boost mine and look into Vitara Pistons with Eagle rods setup...most people use that combo when boosting Ds
