My 96 EJ8 Project/Show Build Thread
Hey Everybody
New to this forum
very interesting threads
everyone calls me stock..lol long story...
well anyway i decided to start my project/show build thread
Was shopping for a honda civic for a whlle and finally came across one for 1800$
lowered him down to a $1000
car runs perfect other then a minor oil leak
interior in great condition other then a few rips
exterior wise it needs a paint job clear coat is peeling all over
has one of the top ten ugliest rims but they do got new tires lol..
heres some pics of the car
Plans In Progress as i type lol:
Sanding It Down Tomorrow Morning
Getting The Windows Tint 5% Tint
Painting it White With Green Pearl Friday
Getting Some Bronze Rims Which Should Be On By Saturday
Slamming On Some Coilovers ( I heard compressing The Spring was Easiar but havent decided yet)
Getting a Carbon Fiber Hood
Restoring The Headlights (there all foggy)
Fixing The Driver and Passenger Side Windows ( Dont Roll Down)
Positive & Negitive and Tips ARE VERY WELCOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My 96 EJ8 Project/Show Build Thread
so i took the car to the car wash this morning and low pressure washed it
cleaned it up and shined up the rims this is how it sits now
you cant see the green pearl that much cause there was hardly sun but when it shines ill get a good pic
Update on plans:
Gonna Slam It on coil overs, im even thinking about bagging it
Get projector headlights
fog lights
new grill
still gotta tint the windows
more things just cant think of it all

Re: My 96 EJ8 Project/Show Build Thread
oh and def run coilovers dont cut the springs or use aftermarket springs...coilovers are the best by far and a type r grill would look good with a carbon fiber hood. what motors in there?
