Looks really good, I like the colour and wheels.

You should swap on a b16a/b head or a b18c head for some serious all motor power.

Yea i love the color too. It needs re done on the drivers side because they obviously let an idiot do the body work but its alright til spring.
Ive been thinking about swapping the head for a vtec 16 or 18 its just the lack of funds stopping me.
Its pretty quick as is for now

If we didn't al lack funds, we probably wouldn't all still be driving civics haha. All good things come to those who wait, such a cliche, but so true when it comes to modding cars.

Those rims look real nice on your car. I'd be worried about the drivers side rusting this winter though. Is there something that you could coat the exposed areas with temporarily? Then you can fix it up right in the spring. Just painting is easier than fixing rust AND painting.

Re: my new ej8

Re: my new ej8
 
Thank you. I'm much happier now. And even though i had a bit of a drive to get them 25 bucks for two taillights in great condition was well worth it

Nice ride. Got some work to do. I feel so bad for all of you northerners that have to deal with watching your babies rust away :( I'm not pickin at anyone here. Shit, I grew up in Chicago, so I feel your pain.

Yea the winter definately kills us. But luckily we havent had a bad winter this year so far

ZachhhIsLegend 01-30-2012 03:54 PM

Re: my new ej8
 
Another quick update:
Weighed my options and instead of sanding all the filler out i decided to just replace the doors, quarters, and fenders. Luckily my friend is selling me both sides of his wrecked ek for 150. Probably gonna pick them up in a week or so, so i will post up some pictures when i start the transplant
