Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Personally, I don't mind a little understeer. Keeps my rear end from coming around, and instead the car just slides out of the turn if I have shitty rubber.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Well gents, I am finally undertaking some more work on the good ole ED. Moving forward in trying to eventually getting it BAR'd in CA. Ordered up a USDM B16 block with VIN tag, so eventually get the B16 rebuilt with that.
This weekend I will be -
Installing my GC/KONI susp
NS front Strut bar
Changing Oil & Filter
swapping out shifter bushings (ES)
Installing Skunk2 dual bend short shifter
throw on my RB's
install hood latch
install fan resistor
possibly paint hood
fix center console (replace actually, orig was damaged)
then next week it goes to the Honda dealer to get new seat belts all around as none retract. And since the car is on non-op status right now, I had to get a 1 day temp op permit to take it to the dealer and have to get another to bring it home. Going thru AAA is a big help, in n out in 15-20 mins.
Car looks kinda rough, but I dont care, it's a rough cut until everything is finalized after I get it BAR'd. Then I add the JRSC.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I run my stock hf front sway and no sway in the rear...but I compensated with stiffer spring rates in the rear. Now the car still doesn't rotate to my liking so I'm adding a rear sway. May as well just throw it on. If you're not on a track, you shouldn't notice THAT much of a difference
And to answer your question, the photo shoot was in LA. I've got the car on my trailer here in Sac today while at work. I park it right outside my office so I can keep an eye on it.
WILL I BE SEEING ANY OF YOU AT EIBACH?

Congrats nick on the shoot and recognition.
I wont be at Eibach, getting tired of going out there to park. Dont get me wrong, I like seeing a few people, but other than that, if I take the civic out, I'd like it to be to a track event or to get it wrapped up.

I'll be @ eibach because I have done so much to my car to make it legal for the road as might as well enjoy driving it.

Where are you learning to drive? On a track?
