Default My EJ8. Slow and Steady.

So, I've owned this car for almost 2 years and its been through a lot. Being a senior in high school, I cannot really progress on this project very fast, since my job does not pay all that great, but I would like to share what I have accomplished thus far. I'll start off with some of the first pictures I have of the car, which is when my dad and I had to swap the motor cause the old one spun all its bearings and bent a rod... (previous owners fault) I hope you enjoy the pictures!



These next two were taken right after I got the new motor running-








I am currently getting rid of the red trim, I actually painted all the drivers side plastic moldings today, flat black. It looks much better then this-


This is from last fall


The rest of these are from tonight actually, I hope you like them!












Well, thanks for looking! I know it was kinda long, but I'm finally happy with the direction my car is going and felt like sharing. I've been saving up my money for lowering my car, so I'll be posting more pictures in the next few months!

Lowering will help alot, but you're getting there, man. I could nitpick the eyelids and the fart cannon but to each his own.

It was actually less of a "D00d check out my sweet D seriez" picture and more of a "I swapped this when I was 16 and I'm pretty proud of that" picture.'

And here's what I did yesterday-

When you do lower it get some coil overs. You'll be happy you did. Congrats on being able to do the swap.

Save up and get a nice suspension set up. Koni yellows and ground control are pretty cheap and great products. Nice ej8 by the way.
