EK1's are CXi and GLi hatches and also include GLi and VTI sedans.
VTI sedan had ABS

Does that mean that the sedans abs brakes interchangable with the ej8 abs rear drums? or is it only ek4's

man post some photos allready FFS !!! engine bay, VIN plate and engine code stamp.

there was a 'GLi' coupe guys that was non VTEC and had drums rear.. came with EJ8 chassis code as far as I know.

posibility it was involved in a rear-end accident and the panel-beaters just phoned honda parts department "Yeah maaaayte it's a '98 Hondaaahh Coupe Aaaay" and they prob just sent the parts for the GLi coupe (decal etc for boot).

EJ8 "VTi" coupe chassis had D16Y8 (SOHC VTEC) and the valve cover didnt have any 'VTEC' logo etc.. just the solenoid there near the dizzy.

the sedans dont have drums, discs all round, so interchangable with ek4 i guess? (well they have the same size rotors as the ek4)

I've got a 96 EK Gli sedan and it has rear drum breaks? I know theres models out there with 4 disc breaks though. Check the build type and date. Mine was built in 96 but I think the build type might be 95 or something like that?

that's weird huh - my Dad has a 96 EK1 sedan GLi and like you said 4 disks all 'round...

**najdi** · 21-10-2010 10:19 AM

Its not a sedan or coupe but found out it has a ej8 frontcut abs system d16y8 engine n all that

Was it an optional extra to go 4 discs? I think it might have been as any time I've gone for parts etc they always ask whether it was disc or drum? Is it an auto or manual (out of interest), maybe the autos were 4 disc? Just guessing at this stage haha
