[welby]

Just a couple of pics of my new coupe i just picked up. Got it pretty cheap but it needs a few things done to it but nothing to major.

Nice pick up dude

Any engine mod?

[SuperJDM.]

massive wheels and cars on 4WD spec, how does one damage a lip that badly from that height.

non the less, im jelly of your sunroof

[slimx]

are those wheels chrome?

they actually look great. Suits the car very well..
Damaging lips i dont know if uve ever been here in Sydney but my empy van even scrapes on our speed humps -.-

Put a bandage sticker on the lip give it a JDM touch :)

Definately needs to be dropped/lowered or put on coilovers.

[welby]

Motor is stock just has headers and full exhaust. The guy i bought it off didn't wash it for 3 years and hit every pot hole and speed hump possible hence the front lip damage. Don't envy the sunroof it leaks lol. It's got king springs in it just lows, coil overs would be nice one day.

[mattsrea]

LOL who cares if the sunroof leaks it still has a sunrooof! I wish my ej8 had a sunroof ):
How much did you buy it for?? My cousin is having trouble finding one that is reasonable and has low millage :L

I don't think Chromies and jdm Mix. Nice find op!

[IV73CI]

Its missing the oem foggies and rear lip..

Other than that.. Looks smick..

Almost like mine minus the sunroof and the chrome dinner plates....

Nice find.

[u mad?]

lol how are they dinner plates?

don't look all that bad.

[Drifter995]

they look like volks.. nice looking wheels ;D

Also very jealous of your sunroof.. Wish they had sunroofs in 1977... then again, I kinda don't...

[welby]

I actually don't mind the wheels and i picked it up for $4000 :o

[EKVTIR-T]

[dougie_504]

Nice old Volks :)

And sick pickup for $4000 LOL wtf

[welby]

Yep needs bonnet painted and a few other bits and pieces fixed but well worth it i reckon.

[EKVTIR-T]

I thought my mate did well getting an EJ8 for 3500 but youve outdone him good sir

[JDM EP3]

Yeah that quite a good price on that, if I found one for that I would buy it as my daily. How many km's on it?

[welby]

It has 207000 and still runs well.

[hondapop]

$4G, b***** hell! And with wheels like that on it! Gonna be hard to top that for buy of the year, and it's only February.

[unl3a5h]

[Drifter995]

honestly preferred the previous wheels...

[*vtec-screamer]

Nah new wheels look sweet. the old chrome wheels are ugly. if you wanna make it more sweet then just put all black rims, no silver bs. :)

[kraiye]

honestly preferred the previous wheels...

yeah me too. colour and style matched well. all u seem to hear on this forum any more is a whole bunch of "jdm ftw".

next investment though... rear lip!!!!!!!!!

[Bludger]

old wheels much better.

too many kunts these days run black wheels thinking they race car drivers.

your wheels are black, we can't see them. no style.

[EKVTIR-T]

The old wheels werent chrome you numbnuts

ffs

[luxury_lowrider]

clean ride!

though i reckon white rims will look better

[dougie_504]

This. Unless you're going for the murdered-out look then I don't like black rims. Your tyres are black, so they don't stand out at all.

Probably looks nice up close but from a distance or in a picture there's nothing visible.

a whole bunch of "jdm ftw".


The old wheels were JDM. :x

[kraiye]

jdm on OH means stoopid coloured 15" or 16" track-like wheels
... and they can't be 'fake'. what a sin!!!

not to all of us.

[welby]

Hahaha old wheels were to big and these came up at a good price and i like them and it is my car lol. Thanks for all the opinions though.

[CIV-18C]

I'd have to say I actually liked the original set of wheels. These aren't bad either though
=)

[welby]

The originals are for sale if someone wants them lol.

well said!! great buy btw... :thumbsup:

[kraiye]

wd. not tryin to bag ur ride, just got the sh*ts cause mine wont start :(
what matters is that you're happy with it, and that's a win

now go buy a rear lip :p

[Drifter995]

i'm assuming they are these wheels... osaka somethingorather
http://www.bobjane.com.au/images/wheelsets/vertec_machined%20black.gif

would be much better if the center wasn't chrome >.> if it had a center cap, i'd be all over it.

I still say the volks would have been sex.. how big were they? 17"? eh.. unless you're after 'jdm' spec, that isn't too big. if it scrapes a lot, that's too big xD
but eh, it's your ride, do what you want :D I totally understand. do what you want, and make it excite you every time you look at it. I know it's what I aim for my car. Never get sick of looking at my car... aside from it being covered in a nice film of dust and having sun fade areas >.>

i can't get enough of black. imo wheels don't need to be seen from a distance. i'm happy if my wheels look like steelies until you get close to the car.
but it all depends on what look you're going for. i've seen black wheels look so out of place on some cars.
