EJ8 owner saying hi

[rr1396]

Hi, I came across this board looking for suspension info. I also found many other threads on this board which may be useful to me, and this forum seems very friendly.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Cincinnati.

I own a 99 civic ex coupe. It currently has an integra sir-g engine with simple bolt-ons. The transmission has an oem replacement clutch, a 12.5lb flywheel, and a helical limited slip differential. Suspension wise, it has a ground control kit with eiback springs on kyb agx shocks, Megan camber kit and lca’s. I performed a rear disc brake conversion from an EM1, and it has Nissin street pads all around. Wheels of choice are 15X7 GL 57c’s.

I’m planning on upgrading many components of the engine now that I have a decent co-op job.

I will get some pics of my car when it is not raining and post them.

nice. . . is that a carbon trunk & bonnet..?

 

[rr1396]

yes it is. Exterior wise, i'm planning on getting ek9 headlights (the gunmetal housing ones) and foglights (amber lamps w/black covers), rain guard, and re-installing my SI rear spoiler.

Looking good. Another US EJ on here. Rock on! Normally I don't care for coupes 96-00 coupes but that is pretty sweet. I tend to like the 99-00 coupes better than the 96-98's, but I much prefer the 96-98 hatches to all of them.
