Re: My EF old skool build

It is a good start and did you already install the B&M shifter to ur car ? Does that B&M shifter shorter than ur stock shifter?

Thank you. No I haven't installed the short throw yet. It originally was going in a 1994 civic dx hatch,but decided I wanted it in the wagovan for DD use lol. I left out that I ordered a weighted PWJDM shift knob, and it should be here tomorrow. I planned on installing the short throw and knob at the same time, if weather permits. Not to be an asshole, but the way im reading your question regarding if the b&m shifter is shorter than stock length wise? no. The short throw is just a performance upgrade that make the throws between gears shorter/quicker.

Re: My EF old skool build

sell those blades, the PWJDM junk/useless parts, and fund rust repair. why you paid $1600 for that rusty bondo pile and spend more money on stupid parts that don't make you go faster, look better, or improve function makes no sense.

I believe that he paid $650 for it, not $1600. I also take issue with some of the part selection but whatever makes the guy happy. Somethings people can only learn by doing. I would get it cleaned up and tuned up and take a more systematic approach. Mugen license plate bolts and a PWJDM drain plug aren't helping but if they are laying around unused, why not. I would address the body work.

It actually is longer, but longer under the fulcrum (ball).

Do you not read? First off it is a "build thread". Thought this was honda-tech not hater-tech. Where did you come up with $1600? Also the parts are actually pretty nice to have, since most were laying around from previous builds. If you don't have any useful information, or polite comments, dont be spam posting my thread.

Thank you, that all the guy above you had to say instead of making himself look bad. Yea, rust is the least of my worries at the moment as it is my daily driver.

Re: My EF old skool build

i was multi-tasking, got my numbers mixed up. but regardless, waste of time and money......... and last i recall, this IS a PUBLIC forum and i can say whatever i want about my dislikes (and likes) towards any thread i want :thumbup: if you cannot accept criticism - good, bad, or indifferent, don't post here. simple as that.

I really wouldn't call it an "old-school" build thread either but anyone with any awareness can tell that the guy is just excited about his new ride. I'm sure that everyone has done things to their car that they'd like to forget but on down the road people who can offer constructive criticism will get farther than people who just want to rain on someone's parade. I bet in the future half those mods go away...if you could read you would know that most of it was laying around from previous builds so why not throw it on?

Just my opinion since it's a public forum and all...:thumbup:

Re: My EF old skool build

What's up with this forum and folks putting on needless bling parts before actually addressing maintenance and rust/body work?

I know it was a $650 car, but goodness...if you really like the car the money you saved on the purchase should be put toward making it run and look better.

And debadging a 25 year old car? At least do it right or just leave it alone.

Is there any serious rust?
