Official Introduction: My black EJ1

Hey guys!

Well, I've had this car for about six months so I figured I'd finally introduce it after getting some shots of it last night.

It's a 1995 Civic EJ1 Coupe. I purchased it off Craigslist for $2300 and have since been fixing various minor things. My immediate plans for it are to fix the front suspension (messed from hitting a deep pothole late at night on a freeway onramp

) and ditching the 17's for some smaller rims.

It's got the stock d16z6 in it still with just a k&n air filter. 146,000 miles and still running great.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open for it. When I get the money I plan on lowering it and swapping the 17's for some 15's or 16's and possibly turboing (that's a ways off).

So tell me what you think!

Looks pretty good.. will look a lot better with some smaller wheels, bigger tires, and drop though.

Re: Official Introduction: My black EJ1

Thanks guys! As far as size goes, should I go for 15's or 16's?

Sounds like you already know what to take care of. The car seems to be in pretty good condition too. Good luck with it man.

Re: Official Introduction: My black EJ1

yeah the lip isn't in very good shape. I also have a dent on the passenger side rear fender from rubbing up against a huge extended bed f-250 in a cramped seattle parking lot :/ I have no idea how much it would cost to fix but its not super noticeable because of it being a black car. Also, what is the meaning of offsets? I've never heard of em before.

Re: Official Introduction: My black EJ1

drop it 2" and put OE or JDM clear corners. After that, OEM lip. Call it a day and save money for some big stuff. I kinda like those wheels and coupes can, on occasion, pull off 17s... If you do crazy low offset 15s I'll delete your EJ1S account
