Finally, Pics of the EJ8 =) (7 Pics...56k safe?)

[JohnS.]

So after months and months and months and months of posting and being a member here, I finally got a hold of my friends digicam and snapped some shots. I already know what you'll all say about it, but right now I have $20 and I'm starting my full time job next week so give me time .

And yes the grill is rice but , I liked it the time I bought it. I actually bought the "mugen" style one cuz I wanted to be different but I'm buying a "type r" one once I get my paycheck.

So enough talking, here are the pics:

Interior Shot:

Engine Shot:

Current stuff on the car:
eBay 2 piece cai
AEM dry-flow replacement filter
"mugen" style grill with ghetto rigged insertable mesh (soon to be type r style)
type r knob
type r shift boot
pedal covers
interior underdash blue neons

Future plans:
4-2-1 dc ceramic
diy - painted side skirts, black housing, type r grill
clean up engine bay - replace bolts with new ones, clean up dirt, paint rusted parts
ect...

Comments welcome

I will say your car has great potential. It can look very clean if you know what you are doing. Keep it simple and you will be alright. Being different isn't always the way to go you know? It is pretty much what is in style.

yeah id love to keep it simple. this summer, i wanna get some time to read about diy painting and paint the side skirts,a new "type r" style grill ill be ordering soon, and the headlight housing. other than that and oem fogs, a type r/mugen (havent decided) lip, and rims, that'll prolly be it for exterior

and gotta fix all the dings and scratches i have . u can see that big mark on my rear bumper. backed up into a damn trucks trailer hitch thing cuz he was stickin bout 5 feet outta his parking spot cuz his truck was so damn huge

 

[all go no show]

w00t my same car...let me know if you have any questions about anything, eg. products, how things look, etc.

 

[MasterShake]

howmuch are u dropping it?

 

[MugenShox]

should have saved the $$$ and throw a suspension first, but its gettin there... GL

keep us posted

 

[JohnS.]

howmuch are u dropping it?

ill prolly just ride on tokico hp/illuminas and h&r oe springs since they drop like the least amount out of aftermarket springs.

once im out of college, thats when ill start the heavy mods both for looks and performance. just cuz like i said, the big ass speed bumps, i dont want too big of a drop. i mainly just want stiffer shocks/springs to handle turns. dont really care about the drop yet.

Looks good gots to get rid of that grill but you know that

 

[c_diddy]

for some reason i always thought your car was green :\ . but anyways, it looks clean.

 

[Zenray]

A lot of potential i see in that car. As for the grill we all have to start some where at least it is getting replaced

 

[JohnS.]

yay i just ordered the type r style grill off eBay so hopefully the bastard sends it.

planning on spraying my steelies back to black cuz as u can see, the holes b/t the "spokes" in the hubcap are showin the oxidation or w/e. then ill prolly spray the side skirts if i can get em off and on right. last time i took em off, it took me over a half hour to get em back on cuz the damn white clips kept turnin on me and it was such a b***h. but im def buyin some cleaner stuff and hand cleaning/polishing the engine bay if i ever find time after this fulltime summer job

 

[GreenThunder]

man im guessin ya upstate NY by the the houses. but its lookin good so far man. keep goin on it rip that plastic off the wheel and roll steeliz !!!! lol.
