im 16 and i just got a 1997 honda civic EX coupe..... its at my dads right now so i cant look at the vin number so can someone tell me that this is an ej8/ek coupe....

 

ej8!

 

yes its an ej8. ek is hatchback.

what color is yours?

i got the same exact vehicle as my first car. still have it. 97 civic ex but has a hx engine.

 

sweeet ya mines black.... ive been in love with cars all my life as well as the jdm aspect but as a 16 year old im still learning ALOT about everything.... so im a huge noob im also new to this forum and i noticed the ej8 squad list i saw.... how do ppl get up on that???

 

i think you just post and get a member #.

anyways, ej8 was a first great car. i learned alot just by reading the boards.

only mod i have done is cai. i also did a diy ctr grill and blacked out my headlights. the diy are great things to do since its cheap and you learn alot. plus your car looks better.

 

awsome! thanks for tip

 

my EJ8 wasnt my first car, well it was my first "car", my first vehicle was a truck, but i love it. i have a 98, with CAI, crower stage 2 cam, crower vlave springs, header, 2.25" exhaust, magnaflow muffler, neuspeed race springs, kyb-gr2's, CTR grill, custom painted tails, blacked out headlights, umm...yea. awesome car to learn on tho. i have had it about a year and a half and am still learning.

 

no. ek is chassis code for japanese cars 96-00.
