CH33V5's Slow '99 EJ8 Build Thread

[CH33V5]

haha sucks about the exhaust.. but builds coming along nice!

Yeah thanks man. The exhaust is now fixed and I'm back to kicking ass.... well not really because even after the oil change full cleaning of the VTEC soloniod and everything in between it still doesn't really crossover. I might have to go to Honda and see if I can get some advice. I've tried almost everything that's DIY.

But anyway, got bored. So here's some shots of the hoopdy.

So it's final. If my buddy Levi can't find the suspension kit by Friday, I'm buying my own haha. I got the money and the struts in at work. I'm sick of waiting. Low is the priority.

Word guys. I'm thinking 3" in the front, 2.5" in the back. That's reasonable for the back woods here in NH right?

yeah you should be good. my buddy bought his 98 ek coupe from a mexican, all stock besides an intake and cut springs which set him down about 3.5'' in the front and almost 4'' in the back and he tucked stock tires needless to say. and im from northeast ohio and we got everything from country dirt roads to gravel driveways to potholes ever 2 ft, its actually become a game dodging them. so he tucked stock tires, it rode like hell, but he rarely ever scraped. so i say as long as you know how to angle driveways and dips properly, you got no worries brotha

Update guys. Long story short my car's been misfiring lately, not much at all but now its badder than Mike Jackson's hit from the 80's. I bought a new cap and rotor, cleaned the throttle body and everything in between. I switched the injectors, still misfiring. Still decided what I might need. Narrowed it down to needing a new timing belt or injectors or both. BUT!, I got my coils ordered today. Low is still the priority lmao.

Turns out all I needed was new wires and plugs. Thanks NGK for fixing my car!

Always nice when it's a cheap fix, my civic wouldn't even turn over, thought it was going to be a new starter or ignition switch, come to find out the wire came off of the starter so I pinched it with the needle nose pliers & voila my car started.

Spoke too soon. Ended up cracking an o ring on one of the injectors, tried replacing them but ended up breaking one of the f**kers. 150 bucks later I'll be receiving 4 used oem ones and some new rings that actually fit. Another damn speed bump to getting dumped! Faaaaaaaack.
