Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
so thanks in advance!!There was a company selling mats like that.. its a shame they shut them down. We should figure out a good place and get a group buy going.
I am in the same boat. My queen sits crooked in the garage right now with no suspension and I dont want to rush something in just to move it, so I think I am going to make something similar out of wood.. or I may order something like this

they are designed to move snowmobiles, and the price is cheap enough.. moving a gutted car btw, which should be easier. I really only need to re-position it so I can make space for the other car. Good luck... let us know what you do. Ill do the same.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I just want to roll mine to the other side of the garage and facing the other direction so I can swing the motor in. (right now my car is blocking the attic stairs that come down in the garage) I plan to put it back on jack stands after the roll.
+ I hear its bad to roll a car with no axles, can screw up the wheel bearings? not 100% on that though.
I would be a little weary of working on a car that wasn't on something safe.
Heres some good ideas... Very expensive stuff though.

^^ those are some nice stands but pricey. I think i might make something outta jack stands and caster wheels. Im hopeing that will be sturdy/safe enough?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Parents garage. Limited space. And yes, that was a mess. It was only because I was cleaning up. Its better now but I don't have any recent pictures. Plans are to finalize all the wiring, run the brake lines and then get it caged. From what I've seen from most builds, that's the process they take. Then paint, then put on new parts. I'm not sure if I want the car to sit painted though while parts are being powdercoated etc.
something different

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Did the snow lay down on you up there yet?
Found a decent beater in Missouri, no bids yet..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...ht_9080wt_1165 ....Just throwing it out there, that brown dash and door panels are probably worth the price of the car

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
No no.. not for me, I am looking for a shell to put all the spart parts on and sell rather than sell piece by piece. Missouri is a little far for me! Hoping someone on here jumps on it.. I know those brown dash's are hard to come by.
I sold a 96 silver bone stock EK a few years ago to a lady friend of my moms, got 4grand for it. Shes looking to sell it now, she had Honda put a clutch in it and now wants to get rid of it so she can fix her home up... so tempted to buy it back! I dont know though.. I love my EF's and I wanted a truck!

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
QUICK QUESTION!!: Had to refill and bleed the cooling system today... again. I normally use Prestone 50/50 Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant. Well, somehow I overlooked the fact that I picked up a jug of Prestone Antifreeze/Coolant (non-diluted) and filled the system without adding any water 
Will this cause any major issues? Should I be in a hurry to drain some and add distilled water? The jug recommends at least a 50/50 solution and no more than a 70/30 solution.
