Motivation for me = spending day in day out realizing how/why Honda engineered certain parts of the EF the way they did/why some aspects of design are stupid but cost efficient. Then staring at the parts pile in the corner of my apartment and wondering when the next time I'll be going home is haha

Actually, thank you for that post, the kit was given to me as a gift, and I didn't know the price other than what some locas told me it was worth.

The same kit on their site goes for 945.00 plus shipping ....so 800 shipped....

Anyone in here know what the rough cost is to powercoat a rollbar/how much you paid? Been looking around, but most places I see don't have a large enough oven to do a full rollbar

Im really liking how you remove everything even windows to paint the car, some doods here just tape the window trim and door jams, and you can see the old paint beneath the trim peices and window trim.

to be honest, the main reason i'm removing the windows is to install the new moldings.

the old moldings were in damn good shape, but new moldings will make the car!

They seem to sell for more here in the midwest, but I agree that 700 is probably at the top end. I've been offered 600-700 in the past.

Joe, good call on replacing the moldings. It's a bit expensive, but worth the money.

barely noticeable in the pics are mirror block off plates and sedan door handles too. i just ordered my sunroof plug, aerocatch hood pins, and 1/4 turn dzus fasteners.


i cant wait to drive the Krx for the first time, but I really want to see it all out of paint and reassembled!!

Hopefully I can have the car on the road by the end of the summer. I'm actually putting my turbo plans on hold until next winter just so I can drive it again.

Funny you should post, because you're one of my sources of inspiration. I plan on going turbo later this year with my Zc. But like I said, I wanna drive the car soon...so I'm doing nothing aside from the timing belt to the motor for now.

I'm just praying to god that I got the wiring right when I hook everything back up.
