Re: where the ej1 love at? post pics
so i havent had much luck with my ej1 since i got it last year with a knocking mini me swap, when i got it i put in a b7 longblock and rocked it for a year till the headgasket went then did a mini me, ended up putting in another z6 tranny due to a bad input shaft bearing, then the motor started making a noise and kept overheating after all new coolant related parts
so decided to take my built b20 with b16 tranny ls5th out of my ej2 which had a blown diff and fix it for my ej1 and take my single cam parts and my lil bros y7 motor and make my ej2 my daily since its not as fresh and has a fair bit of rust
ej1 im keeping ac, scored a p54 ac bracket just need a tensioner, and its got a hytech header but sits too low for me being slammed so looking for a smaller header and gonna use my old 2.25 exhaust for clearance and get a vibrant muffler, now just need ac lines for my daily ej2 since i got all the rest stashed away
sorry for the long rant, now onto pics

Re: where the ej1 love at? post pics
Thats what I was thinking. Ive been looking back at this thread to see if anyone is doing some cool stuff to their ej1's.
Well after a couple of years of going back and forth on wanting to scrap this thing I decided to do a very little revamp. Here are some more recent pics.

Re: where the ej1 love at? post pics
I have a spreadsheet listing every bolt by dimensions, part number, replacement price, location, and condition... Micromanaging much?
Rear suspension going for powdercoat next week too. Only tangible progress is new rear hubs cast-blasted and re-studded and rear calipers restored/rebuilt...
Hubs:
Calipers before:
During:
After (parking brake spring/arm still at plater):
Like I said, it's gonna be a bit

Re: where the ej1 love at? post pics
After weeks and weeks of constantly posting on this thread I feel its finally coming back to life. For sure DPK Davids ej1 is hands down one of my favs that light coloured purple one is also very nice. These cars are so unique as they're not very common as the hatchback. I am also keeping mine its a 93 I've done a few retrofits and I still continually work on it I would love to paint it and fix my rust after I graduate school and come back from teaching abroad.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents hopefully we can continue to put content on here every week and get this tight nit community back up to pace.
PS spAdam that looks like an amazing start man I wish you the best of luck the callipers and powder coated items look terrific.
Also I live in Canada so if anyone needs parts from CDM eg's let me know as their is a junkyard only 10 minutes away from where I live.

Might aswell add to some much needed activity in this thread, here's my EJ1 at a recent Show & Shine up here in Canada.
