ej8 project

picked this up yesterday. its a 1999 civic ex with an itr swap. shes a little rough but already working on stacking up some parts and by fall it should be clean once more. The previous owner had some haggard exhaust on it skunk2 sleeves and oe struts and ebay strut braces.

So far i have ordered a new rear bumper driver fender and a new muffler to get rid of the can.
Got under the car today the whole exhaust is jank. ordered an ebay catback and going to cut the can off of that and got a magnaflow muffler that is similar to the apexi ws2. Replaced the rotted aem dryflow as well today too.

Just rode in this,
she pulls hard for only having 3 ft lbs of tq
but really you better actually make this one a project,
after some rigerous cleaning and body work your golden.
git r dun!

It's a 98 spec b18c-r right?

I'm still contemplating whether to go this route, or go k20a2.

Clean this thing up and it will be sick, Removing all the coat hangers from your exhaust system would do wonders

you should deleted ps and cruise soon! and got some black engine grounds haha. why dont you just take your intake tube to welock instead of get a new one like u mentioned?

sick car. I'm wiring tucking an ej8 right now. Its a nightmare but fun. Id like to ride in this. I never experienced type r power. Whats your plans?

im going to paint the intake tube myself with gloss black vht. i got a new air filter today the aem was fuqd. first i need to get rid of the million dings its just going to be all body work and a few little things this year. over winter i want to get full body coils rear sway bar and an intake manifold.

I helped a friend do some work on that before. Definitely had a few things that were pretty jank about it. for some reason I thought it was a ctr swap though. never looked at the engine tag though.

haha yeah i went through the car pretty extensively and got replacements for the haggard stuff. nope its b18c. She needs some serious love

real ITR header, cruise and ps delete, wrinkle red vc,black grounds, gunmetal intake tube/strut bars, and armor all the fuck out of your engine bay now!

+1 ... Make me a sammich while your at it

ill make you a sammich if you bring a large hammer to my house later to pop my axle back in.

lets start with the bad news, here is why my car wouldnt move.


the good news the box 1 of 4 showed up today, hope fully my fender bumper and exhaust tubing show up soon too. YAY fart can delete

Damn I'm loving that muffler! How much was it?

I am really liking that muffler. yay one more fart can off the streets.

yeah dude i like the muffler alot too, i had an apexi ws2 on my previous ek but that muffler alone is like 250, this is similar enough. It was 110 shipped and i bought an ebay exhaust im going to hack the muffler off of that. the exhaust under it right now is rusty and held up with a hose clamp and shit. no bueno. cant wait to hear it breathe with the full exhaust.

not bad price at all, i appreciate the de hacking the car!

nice. ridding the mass quantities of haggard shit one part at a time. the rear bumper+new muff combo will look much better. keep chuggin on this project!

one more small update

well looks the like the dude who owned this before me replaced the axles but used the wrong sized one on the passenger side it was too short and thats why it pulled out of the trans. im pretty upset that he put brand new axles on it and didnt even make sure they were correct. but she should be done here soon.

^Dislike

got my new fender on its not 100% lined up but looks way better than the dented piece of ass that was on it.

small little update, rear bumper came in today just waiting on one last box and hopefully picking up some wheels this week

So that's a negative for my wheels?

we'll see. have my eye on some bronze c8s too, just a matter of going all the way down state
