Just got my first ej1 coupe!!
So out of 7-8 cars i've had in the past year, selling and making profit and what not, i always managed to have a hatch every freakin single time!! lol. But i ended trading my ek hatch for a ej1. My ek was going to **** at 200k on motor and body, needed new clutch, and tranny mount was broken, as well as the body was faded all over and dents on the roof, and interior wasnt the greatest. But i managed to get this coupe! so here is the details
supposively 120k miles.. even tho the title says exempt >.<.. feels healthy so i said w/e.. my 200k mi ek also had a exempt title.. idk why. But it was originally black but had been painted white, wasnt a bad paint job but not the greatest looks pretty good tho . Door jams and trunk and etc. except for engine bay was painted. d16z6 motor untouched. an alarm, and windows are good.
The driverside switch rolls down the window for the passenger but cant roll it back up(any one know why?) i figured i'd just replace the switch. even tho it works for the driver side window.
The car came with the ctr replica lip (i think its kinda gross), but upside is that its painted i guess? lol..
JDM stanley headlights(plastic) so it has the rainbow effect in them, also has city lights! that was a big ++ didnt realize till after i got it. and fogs/amber corners.
Also car came with alarm and what not, A/C works great and is actually cold!, this model also came with ABS.. my other friends ej1 doesnt have it. So i one up'd him
Only thing that i can tell right now that needs to be done is the Driver side CV, it clicks really bad, and needs alignment. But everything else seems to be okay
It didnt come with hub caps so i bought these oem ones for 20 bucks off my brother... good tread on tires as well. Also has came with the oem sunroof visor
The guy wanted my car cause of course it was a ek hatch and he had a buddy he bought a wrecked ek from. and wanted to xfer all the **** to mine. So thats his reason for trading. sounds legitmate.
Here are some pics, tell me what you guys think ( and if anyone can tell me where to get a rear window visor that matches and is cheap let me know please
she needs better pictures and moar loww ha

Re: Just got my first ej1 coupe!!
Yeah me and my buddy painted the car..you wont believe me when i tell you but that RED CAR (same as the white one) I paid $250 for it the guy i bought it from his idiot kid kicked in the quarter panels that was the only thing wrong with it..Runs like a top!
The Ek seats are adjustable, they are on stock rails..I want some Recaros..But i spend all my money on this car..so suspension first, then my wheels go on..and then all that cosmetic stuff..ya know.

Hey, I'm not sure what route you want to go when lowering it, but I happen to have a set of Ground Control coilovers, with Eibach springs and KYB AGX adjustable struts that I'm looking to sell. I'm in Baltimore. Looking for $350. Shoot me a pm if you might be interested.

Re: Just got my first ej1 coupe!!
Keeping a car for the long term is worth it. I've had my EJ6 for four years now and I do get bored with it sometimes but you get to know your car inside and out and get the chance to really make it how you like it instead of ditching a project that's 10% done. Just my opinion though. Good luck with your new ride!
