Showing off my baby... what do you think? (pics)
I purchased this vehicle 13 years ago in 2004, I love her just as much today as I did the first day I saw her. I have tried my very best to keep her as nice as possible both cosmetically and mechanically. I bought this car with limited mechanical knowledge, and with this help of this forum, I have now completed jobs like: Clutch, Timing/Water pump, I even took the whole cylinder head off to have it re machined when I had a bad valve.
I love this car so much, I am almost scared to take her out of the garage any more lol! I just wanted to share her with my fellow Honda heads, I am sure you will enjoy!
Details: 1990 Honda Civic Si, everything is stock on this car except the wheels, stereo and engine (JDM B18C GSR).
Let me know what you think!

Beautiful. Change the muffler and the center caps and you're set. Interior and exterior look super clean. Nice car, man.

Yeah the exhaust right now is hanging a little low due to an old worn out exhaust hanger. With a new hanger it sits much closer "tucked" into the bumper and makes a world of difference.

Majority of the exhaust is custom made 2.25 inch pipe by a local exhaust shop, I have a DC Sports 4-2-1 Header, High flow cat, a Magnaflow resonator and Muffler, I bought the dual exhaust tip at some auto parts store a gazillion years ago. The car sounds great in my opinion, aggressive but not obnoxiously loud.

Nice car man. Makes me wish I took better care of mine over the years.
Takes a special person to drive the same EF for over 10 years, there cant be many of us.

Respect to you for keeping a classic car in flawless condition. Looks great man! Keep cherishing it.
Consider painting your valve cover sometime, it'd be an easy, fun, cheap project for you to do

Thanks! The valve cover is pretty beat up because the hood has always rested on it. I have always been too much of a chicken to start cutting up my hood, unless I did that, repainting the VC wouldn't really make sense.

That is one good looking clean car. I know locally I don't think I have seen a red EF without the clear coat missing in a while
