RE: My 2000 EJ8 Project
Welcome to the site. Not bad to start with. And that's really low miles with a virgin engine bay. I'd say lower it and change out the rims, but its ur car good luck with it bro. Where u located?

RE: My 2000 EJ8 Project
I'll say what everyone else will say. "Drop it" 
You mean lower it?
If so that was a thought for me but I think I am going to do some other things first.
Yes, that is what I meant. Looking forward to watching it transform.
ok just checking...wanted to make sure you didnt mean like drop a new engine in it....but don't worry i'll keep you all updated and until then any advice you can give will be great!

Thanks man,I am in Temecula CA.
Alot of Imports down here....I'll tell you how it's been for me.
I've ALWAYS been into Imports and Import Tuning...But I just havent been able to afford a car I liked...and then with the help of my dad I was able to get this car...and it was the happiest day for me.So eventhough I am kinda new to the Tuner scene I have always been into it. And I plan to learn as much as I can and enjoy it while I can

RE: My 2000 EJ8 Project
yea a lot of white coupes here haha
for some odd reason I like the wing on your car
and I'm always against the wingless look
Take care of suspension and alarm first
your car will be ten times more fun with a better suspension

YaaaYoo!! Temecula!! thats where Jason Ellis is from, and thats what im listening to right now (sorry for the hi-jack)
anyway i agree on lowering the car, if your not wanting a new engine, then make the car fun to drive. you could drop 5 grand on performance parts, but your car is only fun in a strait line. you put some money into a good suspension and learn how to drive then you will be having so much more fun! thats my idea anyway.
