MYDAYLY's EJ8 Build
- Thread starter MYDAYLY
- Start date
So I've been working 15-20 hour shifts pretty regularly lately so I've been forced to come to a halt in modding my car. The good news is I'm only about $5000 or so away from being damn near finished with this project and the money is really starting to come in now. I may take a break in any mods for a while and then get all the big ticket mods out of the way in one shot! Like paint job, engine swap, and exhaust.

Yah yah yah I know I said I was taking a break but I got a couple days off from work. And I'll be quitting soon to go to school for my CDL here in the next couple weeks. This new job has helped me save up the $$$ I need. Anyway, I ordered these lugs from passwordjdm.com and had to slap them on with my new (To me) air compressor and impact wrench.
I also got some love from EJSquad on the Insta

Okay so now that I've taken a bit of a hiatus I've bought a hoist in preparation for a swap :
And if everything goes well I'll be purchasing my buddy's JDM b16A2
In the next week or 2. I'm very excited as to this being my first swap. I'm planning on daily-ing this.
***** UPDATE *****
I didn't end up buying my buddy's b16. He didn't want to sell it after all. His friend wanted to sell me a b18 head on a b20 block but he wanted more than I was willing to spend. So I'm stuck with this d16 until I figure out what I'm going to do

So today I was a tad bit bored.
Not much more than usual, but bored enough. I forgot that I had ordered these washers for my valve cover like 4 months ago and never got around to installing them.
They didn't come with any directions so I just worked through it to the best of my ability. I had complications with these, surprisingly.
I got it all figured out in an hour or so.

Very nice. Worst thing about your car is the fact it isn't a 5-Speed.
Thanks man. Yeah true. When I swap it won't make much of a difference, d series tranny comes out.
So I sold my Clover Green Coupe and a week later bought another... Clover Green Coupe! Only difference this one has no spoiler on the trunk, has a short shifter, full exhaust and coilovers.
So on this day of beautiful sunshine and s**t I decided I'm going to remove this broken valve cover bolt that snapped off when I over tightened it because I have gorilla strength.
I purchased this drill bit kit called "Speed Off" from Home Depot for around $9. Came with simple instructions.
It supposively lets you create a new thread in the head of the stripped screw or, in my case, the bolt itself and remove the bolt entirely.
All I know is that it f**kin worked.
Here is the broken bolt circled in red :
Got my drill out:
After using the speed out :
Got the pliers out and removed the broken bolt :
Here's the lil bugga :
Finished product in red! :
