Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
spent all my car money to get it to this point:
only thing that needed to be done was tune, but since the engine i bought turned out to be a dud, i had no more money in my car account. so basically she's letting me use "family" money to finish

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Buy an EF to part out. That's how I fund mine without the wife caring too much.
That's the one. Can't complain about $45 shipped for a header, though. I'd like to get the bisimoto eventually.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
These are a couple options I know of. I'm not a "slammed" fanboy, but I'm sure one of those guys would know a lot more.
1) drop forks (apparently hard to find due to being discon'd)
2) EG coilovers with EG forks
I had my ride height set perfectly how I wanted it, but during the process of this swap I'm going from auto to 5sp, power steering to non-power, deleting a/c and relocating and switching to a dry cell battery. Ballpark: I would say I'm dropping 150lbs so I know I won't be happy with the ride height when I put it all back together. My FF Type-IIs were all the way down in the front so I know I'll be in the same boat.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Since your spring perches are all the way down and resting on the lower body of the coilover, we could dis-assemble the coilovers on the front and remove the bottom perches. It would lower the front about 1/2". That may be all that is necessary to make up for the weight loss of 150lbs. I drove around for almost a year with the rear perches out on my car and never had any problems either.

Btw, I think 150lbs may be an underestimate...
