got tractions turbo ej8
so here is a little timeline of my turbo ek coupe...
bought the car for 5k, had 118xxx miles
then i moved to california, dropped the car, and bought some tsw wheels
well turns out i dropped it so low that i busted the oil pan on a road reflector
couple weeks/months later i melted a valve on nitrous
so then we threw together a little bastard d15b so i could drive the car
then when i got back from iraq the cam locked up and i bent a bunch of valves
so i decided to build a motor for boost
i threw in some eagle h beams and vitara pistons
had the crank polished, and cylinders honed/decked
drove it around for a while on 8psi
got rear ended at a traffic light, and ended up doing a 99-00 conversion
got tired of low boost and decided to turn it up and start running it at the track
got tired of the black front end, and went back to a 96-98
and thats kinda how it sits now...makes great power, fun to drive....
