Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Does anyone know where I can get the dust boots for this manual steering rack rebuild? They are $60 a pair from any local dealership and $45 shipped from Majectic or hondapartsdeals seems ridiculous.

Dont cheap out on those boots. I bought aftermarket one time and they tore within a year. Very disappointing and not because of the price, but because I would have to reinstall new ones. I hate doing the same job twice or more, lol.

Crap. I just ordered the ones from eBay for $16.50. Well hopefully since I probably won't be tracking the car and definitely won't be daily driving it, they'll last me a while.

i sucked it up and bought all the parts for a steering rack rebuild. I have a quaife rack and pinion to install. OEM parts add up quick, but it's a good feeling seeing all those red stickers.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
thats strange for a full coilover to only go that low, maybe thats just the way they were built. buddy of mine had mugen low-downs on his ITR and it didnt lower it at all.
But if you want my opinion just sell them and get something proper for you car/desired setup, 'cause as soon as you start removing or cutting parts your gonna lose ride quality.
plus no way in hell would i start ****ing around with j's coilovers lol

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
My ksports will tuck tire from shock body adjustment. Dont have to mess with the spring at all.
Anyone want to buy them from me? $400 shipped. they need to be rebuilt. I cant afford to fix them right now, so I'm just going to use my lowering springs on some AGX's or something. Replacement shocks for them are $110 a piece. Check the ksport website to order replacements if you want. I'll sell the Ksport LCA's with them for an additional $125. 8K and 10K spring rates.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
you like the supertrapp? i kinda dig it now..
it was too loud to drive with the 3.5'' turbo exhaust when i put a header on it...
so summit sent me that after i paid them 78 bucks... and i spent 5 minutes welding it right on the exhaust... now it'll probably be delightfully quiet with a turbo... and i can remove it in about 3 minutes.
SUPERTRAPP FOR LIFE
this talk about turbos gets me excited to put mine back on, and then build another setup

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I'm looking for suggestions for a relatively cheap intake. I've heard I should by an intake made for an EK rather than an EF, probably due to the ridiculous bend meant to go around battery in EFs.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I'm going to sell my AEM cold air that I had powdercoated black soon. It's too small for a b-series and being on the dyno 3 times still couldn't get vtec cross over to not dip. I'd sell it to you cheap, but I have to get a suitable replacement first.
