Thats a start! Good luck with it.. so many different opinions on it while searching. I still think it has to do with either an 02 or the pcv.

TK: I bought my suja bracket about mid 2009 i think.. Not sure if they revised it sense.

Ages, TK has a thread for the car. here ya go: https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/tks-crx-3016408/

Speaking of brake set-ups, I now have two buddies running this kit under 15" wheels, including the guy who makes the kit. Too bad it runs about $3000

At his funeral he wore his favorite fishing hat to hide his skull. His son was 6 months old. He never knew him.

You have to remember a racing harness will stretch 1 inch for every 10 miles an hour impact speed. The rollbar padding is for helmets, not skulls.

Please please please do not drive with a full cage without a helmet on.

Sorry about your friend.

Do you know what part of the cage he hit? I hate to sound like an ******* but if he was wearing his harness loose thats like not wearing anything at all. It might have been prevented

My cage is bolt in so i think i might take the halo and A-pillar bars out when im on the street.

On the topic of cages, I ran a roll bar on the street. Anything forward of the seat is just scary without a helmet on.

And finally, on a personal note. Video of starting my car.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Thanks guys! Yeah, open header is ridiculously loud. Taking it next week to get a full exhaust put on. Took the injectors out to send back to FIC and get some bigger injectors to run E85.

Question: Did you ever test fit the rail? I tried mine and it doesn't line up all that well. It says it's for the EF, just one hole is off.

Exactly why I didn't run it. Quick fix if you know how to weld.

Are you refering to the universal rail as well?

Tai- what year EF do you have?

Are the FO rails designed for 88-89 or 90-91?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

I think then the rails may be for 88-89 as they are the same bolt pattern as JDM model hatchbacks.

I wish that was the case, but it's not. For some reason, they are off...even on 88 and 89s

I made a bracket for it. The through bolt from the Bride rail to my bracket has a nut and some washers on the underside. Set the overall length up just right so the hardware is resting against the floor. The rest is what you see. Its solid. You could also have something welded, take your pick.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

I got Russell Lines from Summit. Quality looks great.. was a little disappointed they only came with washers. I remember my goodridge lines coming with new clips and new bolts.
Same in your kit Boosted?
