Default The life and death of my turbo ej1.....56k warning

I owned my ej1 from 2004 until december 2007. I am moving to texas so I decided to part out my coupe, and start fresh when I get there....

enjoy

day one march 13 2004


































december 2007







It was a fun experience where I learned alot, as I did almost all the work myself.
The car made 220whp @ 8lbs on ECTune.

I plan to build a daily driven ls turbo ek sedan, p/s and a/c around 300whp.

i saw this car on craiglist so many times. its said to see it stripped. but its all in good faith to move on. Ive always thought cars were like woman; they cost you money, they bitch/break, they can look dam nsexy or fugly, but with a car, you will always beable to tell it to change how it looks without getting slapped, and when your sick of it, you strip it to nothing, tell it to get lost, and get a better one. try doing that to a girlfriend. thumbs up thought for the percevirence (sp)
