The integra console looks fine and I got mine for 90$ shipped to my door. I wrote a how to on it once before. You can search for it in this section and see if you like the look. You have to drill a single hole and the rest just falls into place.

what are those wheels? they will look great on there once the body and the tires snuggle up

jedwar

The wheels are enkei j-speeds. Tires are 205/50r15 kumho cheapos.

Hopefully I'll be able to throw the springs on within the next week or so. Thanks for all the advice and comments so far!

Keep up the good build here! Post pics up after the drop. Are you getting shocks as well or just lowering on the ones that are on there?

wheels look too flashy,.should have gone with a sporty 13" alloy and lowered, just to keep it retro. but thats just me. body looks good though!

Everytime I see this I just sit back and think "Damn, the non standard hatch is sexy as hell." And I get jealous.

Thanks again for all the input! Mods will likely be slow. This is a busy time of year at work and my funds have been depleted with the purchase of wheels/tire and suspension.

I will continue with cleaning and freshening. This weekend, I painted the side moldings and wiper arms. I got the wipers back on but had to order new clips for the driver side moldings.

When I take it apart to put the springs on, I will scrub down the under body and do some painting down there. I will keep the pictures coming!

Side note: I went for a cruise tonight, this thing is super slow! I had a b16 swap in my 94 coupe and it was a fun car...Im thinking the same for this one. Or maybe try my hand at slapping a turbo on a d16z6??

money well spent though. just remember alot of things can be done free, buffing tail lights, scrubbing under the hood, and good ol' cheap rattle can painting can make a huge difference.

a b18a1/b1 with bolt on would make this car pull hard

Mine only has 160,000k but not nearly that nice of an exterior.

And for some reason i love the no right side mirror look, good find!

I had a white 91' Dx identical to this one even with the less desirable blue interior I just tinted the windows dark. I would definitely pick up a passenger side mirror for yours looks better and makes all the driving difference.

Fronts are on...
Before:


After:


It's not slammed/tucked/hammered/stanced.... But it is exactly what I wanted

jedwar

the rears were a pita... after cutting, hammering, and breaking some welded nuts, I got them on. I love it!

That car looks AMAZING for $200 and a few simple modifications! Great job! Im a little jealous, you would probably spit out your drink if you knew how much I was paying for my new EF Im picking up next weekend! haha!

CrxCarl

Where do you live? That thing is SUPER clean for 4xx,xxx miles. I just showed my wife your car and told her that if I ever come across a deal like that, she will come home to another old Honda in the driveway. (There's already a rust free CRX Si in the back of the garage).

jedwar

Thanks guys! Im really pleased with how its turning out. I live in Kentucky, I work at the dealership where this car was sold new. The owner, a repeat customer, was buying a newer civic and I asked him about this one. He said "I'll probably sell it for a couple hundred" to which I replied " SOLD!"

It was undercoated so I think that has helped to minimize rust.

jedwar

It has been almost a year since my last post.. Since then, I have taken a new job and moved to Missouri from Kentucky. Not much has happened with the EF.

I have to get this new garage set up before the project can resume..befor I move my tools and benches in, I will apply a floor coating from Rocksolid Floors.

Lets get her scrubbed down..


As with most projects, prep work is very important


Etch, rinse, and let dry


roll it out..


Add "sprinkles" as my wife says


Let dry...again


Base coat and color chips were done today. I also got the clear top coat and will roll it out tomorrow after work.

ProjetEF

This is a very nice home for your EF !!!! good job on the floor !

ej1995

I KNOW your pain...lol

jedwar

Remember this?


I just happened to run across this in a random ebay search..cushion and cover only $45.



And he threw in a bag of delete panels for clock..etc..They are of no use to me beacuse my car has no options to delete haha but nice of the seller anyway

Mister Clean

Ahh the eBay find! The feeling you get is priceless when you stumble upon a part that you need and have been waiting for! Your civic looks great! Keep up the good work

jedwar

You are right about that feeling! The two pieces I needed to clean up my interior, together in the same listing. The listing was for the seat foam and he said oh..btw..I can throw in this prestine blue cover that no one wants. I couldnt believe it. And thanks for the compliment!

chuck steiss

sweet car!!! I love hatch's n crx's! I have lots of them. in fl, we have lots of a certain kind of people (lol) that take these cars and turn them to crap, but I try to buy them and fix them back to a good car again

CBURKE

Nice work so far sir!

91_Project

Clean car and coming along well! My second ef was a white std hatch that I bought for $300, they said it didn't run but we put gas in it and drive it away lol.
