    Update - with pictures

    Haven't been on in a while so I figured I'd give a little update. On steelies now, took off the hubcaps because I hate how they look. Also got a CAI kit off of ebay and it fits really well, makes it sound a little bit meaner also. I want to get wheels, exhaust and lower it over...

    Future ej8 mods

    Ok, I have a couple questions about some future mods to my ej8 that will be occurring this spring. First - coilovers. It's a 2500 dollar car, so I don't want to go crazy, and also I would just want to do it to make it a little bit sharper looking, not to add any performance or handling. I heard...

    LS meshies and yonaka catback?

    I saw a set of integra ls meshies that are straight and everything they just have a coat of crappy black spray paint on them. They want $240, do you think its a good deal? Also, i was curious to hear opinions of the yonaka catback, and if they made one to fit my car, a 1997 ex coupe. Thanks!:D

    My EJ8; my slow build.

    IMO where you put your license plate is awesome. Is that just zip ties or what?

    wanting to drop my ek?

    Everything in the car works perfect, theres no problems. I would just hate to spend upwards of $1000 on wheels and tires. thats almost half of what i payed for the car. besides, i think i like the dropped steelie look ;)
