EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech!

FINALLY got my car working 100% with a lot of help from you guys here on Honda-Tech. Just wanted to post some pics and say thanks to all the guys who have posted useful information. I relied on a lot of opinions here for brakes, suspension, exhaust setup, etc. etc.

The writeups were super helpful too - especially for the EF8 gauge cluster, front end conversion, OBD1 conversion... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Anyway, here are pics. Any comments are welcome.

Some night pics. So glad I did the JDM front end conversion. JDM headlights FTW. Light output onto the road is amazing. Way better than stock... Low beams shown here.

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (Stefndogg)

Looks great. I myself like how it is all color coded... mades it look newer. Now all it needs is a front lip

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (doitdub)

Looks real nice like that..Do you have any before pics?

sweet
i have those same wheels
what tires do you run on them
205/50 16 ??

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (drachir)

Looks great man. I agree with the other posts that if you decided to go a little further with a lip or somthing that would look great. But awesome so far.

P.S. good job on the wheels...R those Rota's?

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (drachir)

Sweet rex man!!! Made me think about what wheels I should get...

lloks very good. I'd add the front lip https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

glad to see we could help you out thats what were here for:thumbup:

my only 2 suggestions are to paint the moldings back to stock (duplicolor) and add the front lip, expecialy for that front end

Looks very nice. The wheels and suspension made the car. Great swap, i can imagine how nice it is to drive.

Good luck with it!!!

Looks good man. depending on how u like the look of it, sometimes the moldings the same color of the car works as well! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (drachir)

Nice looking rex Richard. i heard that motor pulls very hard.

I see some jdm fogs in the near future no?

glad to see everything is working great. hope to see this thing at the mall wed!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (Groovinator)

Is that 99-00 si blue?

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (TehMoonRulz)

awsome swap but that car is way to blue looking, i think painted moldings make it look like more of a hack/rice type job, i say paint the trim and mirors black again and that shit will be clean as hell.

Re: EF8 Conversion, Type-R Swap done. Thanks Honda-Tech! (godruler)

needs lip but very clean... good job

very nice. if you like your mouldings painted, then rock that shit.

what suspension set up did you go with?
