Hello everyone, I'm from Ireland and have finally got my hands on my first ef civic. I've wanted one for 10 years so I'm delighted to get a rust-free 1991 ef civic with only 70000 miles.
The night I agreed to buy it it was stolen and the next day I had to go collect it on a tow truck from the gardai/police impound.
There was a very famous Irish sports star car impounded there and also a car with a deer in the boot/trunk!!

The downside is its a 1.3 carburated engine with a choke. Despite having folders of information I've collected from trawling through the internet researching the ef civic (and b16/b18/k20 conversions) I managed to miss the issue I've taken on with the dpfi to mpfi conversion.

I've previously owned a Milano red k20 ep3 which I loved. It had 43000 miles and I sold it for 2500 euro/ 2800 dollars during the economic downturn.
Every day I feel like smashing myself in the head with a hammer for selling that beauty of a vehicle for that price

Unfortunately, I'm not mechanically savvy and I have no access to a lift but I do have a great mechanic whos an enthusiast and has himself had plenty of hondas.
Ultimately I want to put a b16 into it, but right now the carburater is shot and the car is undrivable.
As far as the engine swap my mechanic has said I should buy a full donor car BUT in Ireland & The UK these cars are if your lucky 4000 euro / 4500 dollars. So unless you get really lucky and find a wrote off/smashed Integra/type r I really don't think his advice is the way to go. What would you guys think?

I've added myself into ef civic/crx facebook part groups so I can find parts such as used hasport mounts, b series axles etc for way cheaper than RRP. I'm going to eventually create a thread possibly including links I've pulled etc because if I'm honest there's just so much! I need help.

Looking forward to speaking to everyone.

Cheers
