Hey, Recently bought myself a cheap Ej8 to build the silly EK I've always wanted to build.
I'm currently running a 2011 Toyota Corolla but I'm selling it to add the funds to my house deposit fund.
So to give you a wayback throw I first saw this ej8 about 6 years ago when my boss at work was driving it, I told him back then if he is ever getting rid of it I want first dibs. Fast forward 6 years and he and I are still mates and he wants to send it to the wreckers cause its pissing oil. I literally had to talk him INTO selling it too me for $500. I replaced the vtec solenoid gaskets and its stopped leaking oil and it straight up passed a roadworthy.
For $500 I got:
Ej8 civic coupe
335000kms d16y8 with a refurbed gearbox.
Koni yellows and unknown lowering springs (uninstalled)
A set of 4-2-1 Extractors (uninstalled)
A spare gearbox (needs a rebuild, but its still free)
I put $50 of gaskets into it and $50 into a set of aftermarket radiator hoses as one of them was about to pop, imstalled the shocks and springs and a set of Dynamic 15x8 0 offset steel wheels with stretched Kuhmos I got off a mate for $400. So as it sits, Ive got $1000 (not counting rego) into it. Ive also bought some wheel nuts and flares to fit to it. I have a set of prelude buckets and a cai to put on as well.
I look forward to possibly getting to some events. Ive missed car culture owning a 2011 rolla and all... lol
Well heres the Short album and heres the Full build album Any questions about what I'm hoping to do, feel free to ask.
