Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
This is all i have to say to you people.
UNLIKE you i took it to the next left i accually spent the time to fix the body and put a grounds effect kit on and paint the car BY MY SELF. NO SHOPS.
UNlike you i have owned this car for 8 years and never once has it been to a shop unless for a saftey. I have done every single bit of work to this car BY MY SELF. Since i was 15 years old.
(now take the time to bash on me all you want. the difference is it looks good and i did every thing my self.

ok ill sput this plainly. thats a base coat. if any one knows what a back coat is... the car has already beem re sanded completly and all (bondo lines) wich is not bondo its tiger hair... and the trim was left on because two simple reasons. filling after and two it holds the skirt line. secondly gnx show me any work you have done youre self. you want to bash go do it some were else. this was suppost to be a friendly site. instead youre being a critical idiot. their is several things i could bash on youre cars for but i dont do i. and as whitestrips stated in shouldent matter what any one else thinks because in all honesty I dont care. Its my car and ill do what i want with it how i want.
I lol'd.

And if you want to use the intermediate shaft on the A6 engine/trans you will need a driver side axle. Id also do alot of parts replacing while the engine is out of the car if funds allow (seals, gaskets, etc).
Im sure other members can be more helpful.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I just bought my first Honda maybe 5 or 6 months ago. 1991 DX 
I've fallen in love with the thing, but a few weeks ago 2 valves stopped producing compression 
Long story short, instead of buying another valve set I'm just swapping it for a D16a6 with an SI transmission I found at a local junkyard for a fairly decent price.
After much googling and using the search bar on this forum, I'm still a little bit confused about the swap. Are the only things I'm going to need to swap the engine a DPFI to MPFI switch? Will my harness (D15b) work with this SI engine no problem?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Well today I called my insurance company and seeing if I can get Shoebox on Hagerty insurance. I just have way to much invested in it to get "$1,000" if I crash it/get hit. They said they do cover "tuner cars" Im waiting to see what kinda numbers they come up with.
Sunday night..

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Car looks great as always, how you liking the new set-up?
Good to see you got out to show her off a little more! Try to finagle a way to get to Nationals!
