Doesnt look too bad. Im pickin up an EJ1 when i go home on leave in march.

 

change the fenders (i assume youre going to do that), lip, more drop. i like it though! normally i hate coupes in that year, but that thing looks gosh darn clean.

 

So i assume your in the military since you said leave lol?

 

Yes i will be changing the fenders lol, they came with the car when i bought it. Thinking about picking up a set of fenders from PSWJDM. As for lip im still not sure what lip i should get right now im leaning toward a type r lip. Its still a work in progress it will get cleaner looking when i get more money for parts and what not....

 

clean... what happened to the si rims?

 

Ummm they may look like si rims but im pretty sure they werent. They might have came off a 01 civic ex but im still not sure.

 

those "honda wheels" were Si wheels..

 

Well then i feel like an idiot now cause i really didnt think they were. I think it was because of how big the tires were on the rims. I kept one as a spare and sold the other 3. Now knowing that they were si rims i should have kept them. i would have used them for rims for the winter when i went back home cause it snows alot there..

 

spoon lip get it

 

Yeah, the 7th gen EX came with the same wheels as the Si, but with less sporty tires.

I like Si wheels, but don't get bent out of shape, honda-tech overrates factory parts. You'd think they were made out of platinum and gave you orgams on sight.

 

ya im starting to lean more towards it now....

 

clean ej1, im in process of redoing mine too.

just needs stock lip, more drop, fenders, and a good detail! looks good man!

 

more pix..

 

Lip fenders and detail is a must but as for more drop i dont think i will considering how the roads are around me. lol

 

More pics will be up soon...Just waiting for all this rain to stop. Its been horrible weather for like a month now. Once it clears up i will clean it and probably put a few more coats on my hood...

 

Here's a few pics of my mx6 that i was planning on working on...





This is what happens when i listen to a friend who said he had permission to race on a closed drag strip at night...I will never forget that night.

 

story on shotgun shot mx6?

 

Ok well after like a week i got my car shipped from my old home to where i live now, a few new friends of mine said they were going to a drag strip a few towns over they had found. One of them said they he had gotten permission from the owner that we could us it at night since we all worked during the day and by the time we got off it was night. So we all meet up, a total of 5 cars, 2000 si, 2000 something monte carlo, 09 jetta and a 02 pontiac supercharged grand prix.
Once we drove and finally got there come to find out it was some country as redneck drag strip, i was like you got to be kidding me lol. civic and monte raced first then it was civic and jetta. Then a buddy of mine was like take a practice run and get a feel for the track. ( My wife and Buddy was in the car that god they got out before i got to the line). Once i got to the line and took off a loud BANG went off everyone and including me thought my car backfired or i caught a flat. Then BANG again i was like wtf!!! Then as i slowed down i look over my shoulder i see my rear passenger window spiderwebbed. Im like WTF!!!! Then i see my friend in his jetta hauling *** by and my wife yelling out the window RUN!!!!!! After that it was Straight up Dukes of Hazard **** driving all the way at the end of the track getting lost in this tall grass field. Almost driving through a fence following my friend his jetta to get out of there to get to the Highway.
Come to find out we call the owner and tries to deny that he heard any shots, then admits that he was the one that shot the couple of times but says that he didnt shoot at anyone ofcourse i had proof lol. He sounded pretty drunk. Thats basically what went down that night.

 

Some new pics of the car just washed...

 

Look alright and don't see much of rust.. What's the mileage?

 

Had 94,xxx miles now has 109,xxx miles.

 

ok I have been thinking that i might boost my ej1 but i would like to maintain my ac/ps. Does anyone know a kit that is a good setup and that would let my keep both?

 

looks sick..!

 

Definetely has lots of potential
