ej8 rice to jdm.

[mattchuej8]

I've already started it.
got my tints done (15% thankyou TGZB0Y), bought black housing projector lights ordering lip as soon as funds come in.
Looking for a set of em1 tail lights as well lol. :)
Rims will come when tax return does haha ^^

OEM front has been put back on, Side skirts have been removed.

PROBLEM:
its hard to find an ej8 rear bumper. :(
does the em1 or ek4 fit it?
&
If you would happen to know if the ej8 engine bay (d16y8 engine)
it has two tubes coming from bottom of the car, where the stock used to be.
im not sure if thats a CAI setup. wondering if any of you would know.
I'll post pics if need be. :)

Thanks in advance.

the sedan rear bar fits. try to find one from 99-00 as it doesnt have the mouldings on it.. goodluck
the ek hatch rear bar does not fit your ej8
the em1 rear bar also fits your ej8.. its the same as the sedan rear bar

as for the 2 pipes, are they black ? and they should be linked together. like a U shape
if so, its the resonator. if u wanan go back to stock, you need to buy the airbox and just install it.

Umm you can find replica EJ8 rear bars from felix. he's in sydney too

nice to see another ej8 being done up, especially jdm spec :D
post some pics
no ek hatch bumpers will fit a coupe.
yeah sounds like your talking about the air intake setup.

the cars paintjob looks very clean !

[trism]

how can you tell lol?

they are terrible photos

[zco]

well the fact that the paint matches is good already
even though im not a fan of his kit, at least it lines up good.. fitment is good from those pics. the paint on the passenger side looks like it matches from the amount of light reflected onto it

HAHHA OMG FUNNIEST THING YOU WERE DRIVING BEHIND ME AT ORANGE GROVE , i was in the ej8 lawl. im trying to change my rear bumper and tail lights as well . good luck finding them i cant find any...

[mugen_ctr]

if u cant find em1 lights, some ebay em1 replica taillights will do just fine....

There is a difference between the EM1 and Ej8 rear bumper, em1 doesnt stick out as much or was it the other way around lol, imo, get the EM1 rear bumper, that way later on u can jus wack on the em1 rear lip, i find the Honda access lip doesnt flow well with the side skirts


post picks of ur intake setup, easier to see than tryna describe it...

And the rims, way to big lol, id imagine there would be terrible shaking at high speeds, and heavy feel to it, slap on some 16's

good to see some ej8 loving!

[sunnaye]

hey could you link me to the em1 lights on ebay, hopefully there not expensive cheers and yeah add a foto of your engine bay

Hey i know this post is old but i just saw it now, did you end up getting the lights off eBay? I heard that the ones from USA don't fit right because the housing is different, I'm looking for a pair myself but I can't find them anywhere without people quoting me 300+ ..........

Umm you can find replica EJ8 rear bars from felix. he's in sydney too
