be specific plaese

[Limbo]

how specific? they both got different engines and a few cosmetic differences

[eg5civic]

I dont know the big difference is the em1 has two door ej8 has four door

Em1 comes with b16am ej8 comes with sohc ect

theres plenty of differences.... how about stop being lazy and read up on them a bit
Its amazing what you'll learn about the car you want to buy

Imo the em1 is just plain sexy, and the arse end looks better

[dahon]

^^ both have 2 doors buddy... theyre both coupes imported from america (i think..?)
ej8 is the prefacelift ek coupe (96-98) - badged the civic vti coupe
em1 is the facelifted ek coupe (99-00) - badged the civic vti-r coupe
ej8 comes with d16y8 (d series SOHC) engine
em1 comes with b16a2 (b series DOHC) engine (something like that code.. correct me if im wrong)

thats basically it man..

Don't be lazy and look at my link...

[EK1.6LCIV]

suspension (rear has different factory subframe to EJ8 and sway bar factory), engine, gearbox, seats, cluster, armrest, interior trim, rear disc brakes, strut brace, 15" wheels, 99-00 front end (grill, bumper, rad support, lip, inner gaurds, gaurds, headlights hood), different rear bumper, ecu, wiring, tail lights, licence plate surround, vtec stickers, vtir sticker

just to name a few obvious differences on the EM1 coupe 99-00

both weigh around the same ammount, parts are interchangable, both can be made into each other

Honda still stocks parts for most of the car aparts from a few odd bits which have been discountinued (floormats, side skirts, optional front and rear lips (96-98 model, 99-00 rear lip)

The VTi-R is more desirable in factory form as it has the B16A2, but if your after doing an engine swap (and also like myself like the 96-98 front end better) each are just as good :D

hope that helped a bit (rep point please :D)

[RtN]

ej8 doesnt.

Theres no auto em1.

not all em1s have sunroof.

[VT-11-RR]

ej8= no balls

em1= balls

[EK1.6LCIV]

bugger all EM1s in OZ have sunroof, most do in the USA tho

I'd call the EJ8 in std form ecco friendly :D lol

[Crapdaz]

EM1 is hard to come about but if you do you are lucky.

[EK1.6LCIV]

there's always an Em1 forsale, original condition maybe, but vtirs come and go, at least 7 forsale in carsales atm (a few have caught my eye is all, lol)

[Q_ball]

ej8= no balls

em1= balls

If you consider the size of peanuts to be balls, then yeh.. maybe!

[DreadAngel]

^^^

So true lol Which makes yours only smaller than an acorn huh Q =P

[kiwi135]

are the parts between the two interchangeable exterior wise

[dahon]

everything from the side mirrors to the back i assume.. since em1 = facelift.. ej8 is preface

[paps02]

ej8= no balls

em1= balls

my ej8 would like you to retract that statement

[DreadAngel]

Yours is modified you noob lol...

Don't tell me you need us to spell out to you

STOCK EJ8 = NO BALLS

STOCK EM1 = BALLS

[VT-11-RR]

yours is modified you noob lol...

Don't tell me you need us to spell out to you

stock ej8 = no balls

stock em1 = balls

agreed

[kiwi135]

can u please answer the question instead of arguing

[EK1.6LCIV]

are the parts between the two interchangeable exterior wise

yes, apart from mentioned areas before

go the EJ8 :D

[DreadAngel]

Rofl, if that's arguing man, you've gotta lot to learn XD

[Q_ball]

Rear bars are straight swap interchangeable.

As for the front, if you CAN NOT mix and match EM1 and EJ8 panels.
You can only use one or the other,
Either ALL EJ8 or ALL EM1 panels.

[XP02ED]

rear lip on ej8 wont fit to em1 which sucks.. esp coz the hondaacess lip is the best lip for em.

the door moulds on an ej8 is fat and stick out, where em1 is flat

[EK1.6LCIV]

but Em1 lips can be made to fit EJ8s :D

[kiwi135]

Rofl, if that's arguing man, you've gotta lot to learn XD

i was gonna say bitching like little girls but didnt wanna be mean:p

[kraiye]

am i right in saying EJ's have lighter interior?
do the ej's have cup holders and passenger airbags?

[EK1.6LCIV]

EJ8s have passenger and driver airbags, cup holders, some had sunroofs, they have different seats to the Em1

EM1s have very lush front drivers seats with adjustments on the side (like the EK4 hatch)

EJ8s have different trim on the seats and also dont have the EM1 centre armrest

[kleo]

em1 = rare, more pricey, dual cams, looks
ej8 = not as pricey, single cams, looks

[EK1.6LCIV]

what other info are u chasing?

[kiwi135]

nothing more really you gave me all the info i needed pretty much, your knowledge of ej8s vs em1 is very very large i would rep you but i cant

[kiwi135]

oh yeh one more thing can i taKE THE BUMPER of an em1 and put it on an ej8 is there eny modifying needed

[EK1.6LCIV]

rear bumper will swap between both models without modification

the front will not, unless u swap the entire front end of ethier

[kraiye]

what about brakes? does EJ have rear discs or drums?

[Dy_]

what about brakes? does EJ have rear discs or drums?

drums

[mrwillz]

facelift ftmfw

[EK1.6LCIV]

drums :(

but in saying that I cant notice a diff in braking between both standard models with oem pads...

handling is a diff story, not having a rear sway bar stock does make the EJ8 a bit of a handful thro corners, but once you throw on an EM1 item, that's fixed

brakes have never been an issue since the upgrade to 17s (no more smoking them up, damn standard 14s... lol)

[JDM EM1]

Old thread, but are the trunks/boots interchangable?

[IV73CI]

Old thread, but are the trunks/boots interchangable?

[JDM EM1]
