thinking of picking up some non-bling 15x8 wheels - torn between these -

Classic look rota rb15x8 et 35




Or these ESM's which kind of remind me of the OE hubcaps


Anyone want to do a photochop for me on an Tahitian Green Si Hatchie?

Anyone know how much it would be to have a billet wheel (1 or 2 piece) made? I'd really like to see how much it would be to reproduce the 91 si hubcap, as a full wheel in 15x8 et36, no lippage needed. Just a subtle nod to the OE but to fit better rubber.

i am planing to only cover a few small holes and repaint it the original color. can anyone point me to the right direction on how to prep the bay for paint and slight shave? i already posted this on the shave, tuck, ect.. .thread.

theres so much information and misinformation i am not sure what i should be following. in terms of shaving i was leaning on using a welder to plug to firewall holes and cover a few small holes but i dont know how to. the other problem is theres a frew brackets i will no longer be using and i dont know how to remove them, like the one that holds the heater lines, fuel filter, and charcoal canister just to name a few.

heres of a pic of my bay, theres a lot of stuff i took out already i just didnt get a chance to update the pic. any help would be greatly appreciated.

damn, I never get notifications for this thread anymore.

I have a question for you guys...

My DD is a 89 civic, completely stock. the left turn signal doesn't have a consistent blink speed. It's nearly as fast as when a bulb is blows, yet they all work, and it will speed up and slow down with engine speed. The right blinker is perfect. Stable, slow blinks like it should be. Hazards work fine as well.

Is the turn signal relay built into the combo switch or mounted under the dash somewhere and I can change it out to fix this problem? Doesn't matter either way as I have a pull it yourself junkyard nearby that usually stocks EDs.

Thanks fellas.

Thanks Blu. Turn signals are the one thing I've probably never had a problem with on any of my EF's...

Relays under the dash, yours may be on the way out., easy to replace.

Thought this might interest you EF folks. I bought a brochure from Yahoo Auctions for my exact model EF2 25XT LE, decided to scan it:

I'm going to swap it with the good one from my crx today and see if that fixes it. If not, I'll be going to a junk yard for a combo switch. It's so hard to find them unbroken. People just ****** them off at the junkyard for no good reason, I think.

if I turn on the right turn signal, it also turns on the left. but not the left bumper turn signal.

Well a relay swap didn't work. I'll see if I can test something in the combo switch.

Finished up the car today. Spent 2 hrs chasing gremlins and turns out I didn't put the chip in the ecu all the way in. Just need to hit up the exhaust shop and then get tuned. Will get cams eventually.

need to paint the rest of the intake pipe and replace the blue intake tube with a black one
