Hey Guys,
Let me first say this forum is awesome and Im really glad I found it. Everyone on here has been really helpful and ive only been on here a month or so... Ive met some other UK EG peeps and we're looking to ramp up the UK area of the site so GREAT TIMES
Anyway, Ive owned my current EJ2 for almost 4 years having previously owned 2 hatchbacks and another EJ2. My car hasnt come that far but I have a lot of long term plans for it so I thought I'd start up a thread. I spend anytime I can doing little jobs on my car, things like changing out control arm bushings, general maintenence and stuff and Ive not that often got money to buy decent parts for it so its coming along very slowly...
At the moment its pretty basic, Ive fitted some GMAX springs and shocks at 50mm lower (they were quite cheap, real stiff but real fun). Ive swapped out the LCA bushings for some powerflex bushings as they were rotten as hell, I'm gonna do the entire chassis next month with an Energy Suspension Master Kit (its my birthday next month, the Mrs will be providing these as a present
). Below are a few pics of how it looks right now, its not exactly where I'd like it to be but...
Yep, needs amber but its better than the crappy angel eyes projectors I just took off
Love these OEM wheels, they're sex! They wil be satin black soon. When I can afford some 45mm profile tyres Ill spray the entire wheels and refurb them best I can when theyre bare.
Once the bushings are all swapped out my next plans are to prep the body for a respray in championship white. Possibly a poor mans paint job lol but we'll see how money is at the time... My Honda rot isnt too bad and I have a lovely bunch of holes in the boot after removing the crappy OEM spoiler which are the first thing I need to do...
Basically I'm hoping that by the end of the year the chassis and body will be up to scratch.
Then I can move onto the fun stuff, Ive been discussing diferent Engine and Tranny combos (Cheers Chrono404) but I have a long time to decide on that I think. It wont be any time soon Ill have the money for an egnine swap tho...
Thought I may aswell get the thread started and Ill add to it as I do bits and Bobs, Cheers again for all the help boys and girls!
Oh, and these are the wheels I had a couple years ago lol 17" Chromes, thankfully theyre gone for good!...
Take it EZ
