just to let you know the subframe doesnt have pre-welded nuts behind. they are just holes (i also had a green ej8 and tried to put a ek4 RSB). so go into bunnings and get some nuts and possibly some new bolts which are high tensile. strong!!!

Yea, just found this out at the dealer, he's like you need the subframe of a VTi-R (330 weld on bit, lol) so ASR brace is what Im looking at now lol

Id love to talk more about ur idea, you have msn?

just head into bunnings/repco/supercheapauto/autobarn and grab some m8 or m10 if the holes allow it bolts, probably need about 20mm or so
probably a good idea to grab some flanged ones too

been expirementing with a few things on Sat, but I'm after something to distributed the load better on the subframe, so far my most practical option is the ASR brace so thats on the cards next month, now to find someone with one...

update

I ended up getting OEM Honda EM1 mounting brackets (they are present on all EM1/EK4s stock on the subframe whereas EJ8s have two black holes) for the EJ8, all I need to do is fit them up and make up a inside bracket, everything looks a go, pics will be up soon

wouldve been great with the right exhaust system, since I got it done yrs ago without the sway bar on there they didn't take that into account and as such I had to take it off as the top of the endlink thread was scrapping the exhaust line....
