Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Like most who sell their EF...it just happens. I can't do it though. With my years and money invested, I have too much sentimental value in my car. I'll be buried with it. In fact...I can't wait to hit up track days in it in 20 years. It'll be a "vintage race car."

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
we're on honda-tech. if we wanna bring up the word trendy, i think "knocking the search function" is probably pretty low on the list. It's funny people bitch about it like they paid to sign up. If you don't like it, NWP is always there, and i'm sure their traffic has picked up dramatically in the past 6 months.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Google is a good search tool, just add the word honda to whatever your looking for and honda-tech is usually the first couple that pop up. I have no complaints with this site b/c its free, but I did enjoy the old version better.... but why wouldnt we all, we all own EF's and <3 OLD SCHOOL!

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Very nice! I hate that color too. I still need to pick up my bar from my buddies house so I can powdercoat it.
Your suspension reminds me of when I did all that 3 years ago (powdercoat, extended studs, bushings, bearings, etc. Unfortunately my Skunk2 LCA's were a Christmas present from my folks and then a month later I found the MFActory units. Oh well. And my old Omni's are on there too (which I need to put up for sale)...edit: just noticed this was pre-mfactory upper links too. I need to take new ballin' pictures like you! Haha.
I know we've talked a lot about your set-up. Can't wait to see the whole car.
AND just to keep the thread insteresting, here's an EF RELATED picture for you guys. Where's Ryan and Nick?

I bought an ST bar one time and immediately dropped it at the powder coater's. It's an awful color, but from a marketing standpoint, everyone knows what brand it is, right?

I was going to powdercoat the bar to match the rest, but when I threw it on to test the fitment I realized I liked the color... Its kinda like a "rasta" color scheme going on!! Im thinking of picking up the lime green samco hoses to spread the color around. I know everyone hates the color, but its growing on me.

Boosted- Definetly was a project! I did it laying on my back under the car while it sat on jack stands, made such a mess just scrubbing it down, and then another mess spraying it. but the final product is so worth it... well untill I drive it and it gets filthy again!
Hahaa.. ill do my best to keep it clean, but its definetly gonna get used! Going with a redshift LCA exhaust... Nick, how dirty does that make your right side suspension?
I was looking into those urban camo hoses also.. cant really see it going with much on my car though, but I think it would look sick on yours, the blue logos killed it for me. Im pretty sure there Limited edition run.. or so I read. So you better pick them up soon.
Anyone using or hear of the 14 piece samco hose kit? Ive seen it but not sure what it actually includes.

Dood, like you're name - HOT, simply HOT. What rear tie bar is that MFactory too?
Trust me guys, if you had asked me even a year ago, I would not have thought about giving up on the ED, I just need to move forward on some other things. Was really looking forward to my daughter in the driver seat. If it doesnt sell, then I'll have to figure something out.
Oh and as far as Old/Classic/Vintage car insurance, make sure you really want to register your car as such before you do it. Once you do, there are usually limitations placed on mileage either if registered as such or insured as such.
There are a few places that you can negotiate additional mileage, but you'll still be limited to occasion and not daily driving and definately no tracks - autox or otherwise.
