Default uriasbro's (ekgabex) track/daily ej8 build

had my car for about 5 years now heres some of the progress ive made.. lost some of my early pics but hope u enjoy and feel free to ask about anything and give your 2cents




































































Front splitter project I'm working on..


Picked up some falken hanabis 15x7 for super cheap.. But they need a lot of work to look good lol but no bends cracks or even curb rash.. and these are the first rim I ever wanted for the coupe ha. Nice specs for the track too.. 15x7 @11lbs each still not as light was my rpf1s @9.8 each but it's all good



Stock long bock aem short ram 70m sk2 Tb itr port matched intake manny hondata gasket dc headers test pipe magnaflow n1 exhaust. Hasport mounts.
California bard b16a2. I know it needs a lot of work to look good.. But it gets me around the track.


had my car for about 5 years now heres some of the progress ive made.. lost some of my early pics but hope u enjoy and feel free to ask about anything and give your 2cents.. some pics might be out of order.. sorry about that.

I'm one of those friends and pro c are actually a good start. There are obviously better products that have more adjustability and prolly work better but surprisingly these coilovers work very well on the track and Gabe stay with a full bodied coilover. I was going try the pic coilovers but I got a killer deal on the pro c. Just my .02

Skunk2's suck on the street, track setups however they work pretty well, learned this from a friend who had S2's on his 8th gen, around town was soo shitty, but when you pushed the car hard it was ******* epic!
