So i have have had lots of cars and a few of those have been civics but the favorite one I always wanted back was my ef sedan it had my heart. My first one was a 91 dx blue on blue. I was never so sad as the day I sold it to upgrade to a new ride. So here Iam 5 years later playin around on the denver CL and i find a 90 Ex posted for $700.

It had been sitting for 2 years the guy who had it had been out of the country and was soon to be leaving again. He told me if it did not sell by the end of the week he would be taking it ti the recycle center. He said the only problems he knew of were the dizzy and the windsheild. After looking over the car and pricing a new dizzy i offered him $400 cash. He took it, I now had another edbox! Before leaving his driveway i replaced the dizzy cap rotor plugs wires and valve cover gasket set. With a lil help the old owner helped me jump it..........He fired up on the first try!

 

nice find

 

After a week and a new windsheild. I found some pretty clean si coupes I traded my steelies and $100 for I couldnt pass them up even if the tires were shot

 

Great find, looks to be in nice shape. I too just recently snagged one in a very similar situation.

 

whaaa ex lucky and great find

 

Lower it pls

 

nice. what was it that almost sent it to the crusher?

 

wow, four hundred bones, great find man, glad it didn't get crushed. Whatchu got planned for it? Interior in good shape?

 

I was curious where that car went I was going to try and pick it up once I got my taxes back

 

Nice!

 

An EX for $400 nice find man.

 

Don't listen to him

Very nice find. Picked mine up for the same, wish it was an EX doe.

 

You can't beat that deal!!! Great score!!

 

The guy I bought it from was moving back to the Ukraine and had no need for it. He said if he didnt sell it he was gonna scrap it. I couldnt let it go its in really good shape all the power goodies work really well the paint isnt to bad there is just a lil rust in the rear on either side.

 

Thanks for all the complements everyone. I have lots of plans for this thing. Iam havin a blast workin on it. A lil update is do I guess. I replaced the alternator and the belt,as well as a battery. I also had a new muffler put on the other one came off on the interstate a couple of days ago when i hit a big dip. Ed also got 4 new 195/50/15 kuhmo tires , But my favorite thing is the dc center console i picked up at Upull. I love cupholders haha.

 

Here is another lil update. Here is ed after a wash and wax, I also picked up and old yakima rack and some OEM honda mud gaurds. Soon I want to lower the car a bit to get rid of the fugly wheel gap. I will also be deleting the power stearing and the ac soon and moving the battery to the trunk.

 

Super clean find, and a great pice! AND a proper manual. I'm jealous!

 

12-25-12 update, This build is not dead it is just moving very slowly,This last year has been crazy but I still havemy edbox, sence last posting i have replaced the timing belt water pump and tensioner with all honda parts,also i put on EBC dimpled and slotted rotors and greenstuff pads in the front

 

I also have the rear setup off of a DA integra with matching rotor pad combo and some stainless lines, and some ES bushings. Recently i was out junk picking with a friend and i came across a black lx power interior.It was near mint apart from a mangled dash and some cut rear seatbelts, That same day i also got some fresh DA Front seats

 

i Have gotten the inside mostly put back together, but holidays and snow have slowed me down for a few days. I will snap some pics soon i have the front seats in and my DC console back in as well, While the console was removed I got lucky and found a Skunk2 single bend and ITR style **** on Craigslist for cheap. They seem to compliment the new black interior very well. i have a few more projects sitting around for Ed i would like to do some suspension upgrades soon i found a S2 front and rear camber kit on cl very cheap the front is new the rear is lightly used, i still have alot of work to do but I feel iam off to a good start

 

Okay so i snapped a few quick pics today, As you see its been a white christmas here in Denver. Thats what has been holing me up. I have a little ways to go before the interior is done. I need to finish intallling my center console and find a black dash and some black seatbelts for the rear

 

cool build.

 

I like your tape deck.

 

Thanks man haha it works well with my smartphone and tape adapter

 

hell yes. the old school tape adapter. i remember using that to play CDs in an old truck i had lol.
