EM1/EJ8 Differences

[POITER]

So clearly EM1's and EJ8's are different but what exactly are there differences apart from the tail lights, and also would the EM1 tail lights (red/clear) fit in the EJ8 or do i need a complete conversion to fit EM1 tail lights.

EM1 has a rear swaybar as standard. and it also has a b16a engine compared to the d16y8 in the EJ8. nicer rims on the EM1 as standard. the em1 has a different front end in terms of styling coz it was slightly updated. so headlights from a em1 wont fit on an ej8. em1's only come in manual

and no u dont need a conversion to change the tail lights.. just a straight swap.. tho they are rare as to find!!! i've given up lol

EDIT: corrected

EM1 has a black dash compared to grey in the ej8. nicer rims on the EM1 as standard. the em1 has a different front end in terms of styling coz it was slightly updated. so headlights from a em1 wont fit on an ej8. em1's only come in manual

EM1 interior is grey
The only interior that is black is the EK4 and EK9

EJ8 is only 96-98 (hence the preface-lift front)
EM1 came out 99-00 and there was an auto option (Civic Coupe Gli|) but it was not the B16a2 engine.

afaik EJ8 is made in japan and EM1 is made in america.

all civic coupes were built in USA

two options for the lights, DEPO (reproduced lights, small differences such as gaskets and plastic on the inside used, none of this is noticable on the outside) or OEM from Honda, they still sell them new for $250 a light

I stand corrected

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

EM1's have rear discs where as the EJ8's have Drums?

Also I believe EJ8's come with Sunroof's automatically as with EM1's most do not (though there are some who the original owner chose as a option)

[EK1.6LCIV]

wish mine had a sunroof

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Ok, Apparently not.

the front end is different (bar,lights,bonnet, gaurds)
the em1 taillights will fit directly onto ej8 which will make it look a heap better.

also refer to this thread for a lil more help
