hey guys recently bought a ek with the intentions to do it up motor and all...got it really cheap and it is a genuine gli to my knowledge being power options and rev gauge on cluster but its got rear drum brake? its a 96 model..has the guy possibly just done the window conversion and gli cluster...your thoughts? kinda tripped out when i saw it l0l

update: d16y8 is from ? normal vti motor? coz i could of swore once i serviced it and put my intake on it and noticed a vtec solinoid im sure its vtec sohc...coz 5500 was def a lil roar and faster revs

gli also has swaybar mounting holes on the front lcas and the interior seat trims are different. gli may also have mirrors on the sun visors inside the car.

Ek1s come with drum rears what's the issue ?

Later hatch ek1's and all sedan ek1's came with 4 discs ( same brakes as ek4/em1)

Check the stamped engine number to the rego first.

Sounds like its a CXI . Power windows and cluster is an easy conversion. Brakes on the other hand are harder.

I didnt know GLi's can come with ABS. Can u look for the ABS unit and the ABS lines?
