Re: New project car: 1989 Civic Si
I'm going to buy some double sided tape so it won't fly off on the freeway. But just using the bolts themselves feels secure already so it will be for extra strength!

Re: New project car: 1989 Civic Si
. But the guy I bought them from said he can probably locate an 88-89 set for me, so my fingers are crossed. He better pull through.As for your seats, nice! I wish I could find the same or similar fabric to reupholster them. That or I get some Recaros
I just found a couple other pieces I should be adding to my car within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned everyone!

EGs and EKs are for kids, the parts are easy to find and all of the high school kids have them. EF's parts are hard to find, more exspensive and the end result gets less attention from the kids...

Both EJ and EH chassis are sexy in my opinion, well I guess I'm just a Honda fan.

Re: New project car: 1989 Civic Si
I've owned an few EG's an EJ, EK, and even a DC, I always come back to the EF's. Sure the newer ones have better styling, but the EF's grow on you after a while. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with those body style, I love them. I'm just saying the true EF fans are mostly long term Honda fans.
It's like Nicolas Cage said at the Ferrari dealership in Gone in Sity Seconds:
Memphis: I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving an original 1989 MPFI Sport Seated Si...
Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.
Memphis: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Yeah, there is something about these EFs that make them special. I also like the fact that these are considered classic cars according to wikipedia:
A classic car is an older car; the exact meaning is variable. The Classic Car Club of America maintains that a car must be between 20 and 45 years old to be a classic, while cars over 45 years fall into the Antique Class.

Re: New project car: 1989 Civic Si
If I remember 
So Spring Break is coming up, I will finally have time to work on my car. I started making a To-Do list for my little black hatch:
- Completely take apart my interior, clean rug, interior panels
- Remove headliner to see if there is any water (possibly redo headliner with similar shade fabric)
- Wash, claybar, polish, wax entire car
- Install sunroof visor with double stick tape
If I sell my CR-X:
- Buy/install coilovers
- Buy new headlights
I hope I can do all of this Spring cleaning!!!
