Default More EF 4door love!

$500 for the car + $40 for tow dolley + $20 tank of gas =

The only damage is what you see on the hood. It didn't even break the webbing underneath. So a new hood and I'll be good to go.

I'm officially the 3rd owner. 1st owner had it until '98 until he traded it in, second owner '98-'05. Came with all service records and a 'blown' motor.

All it needs is a cap and a rotor



Who is that riding my tail?



The only reason I got the car is because it's red with a black interior; the best EF 4door color combo IMHO. As you all know, the most common is blue, and then grey, and black is relatively rare.

Too bad it's not an LX...I need to hunt down some black LX doorpanels.

This makes 3 ED's for me now. The two '91 DX's you see in the photo and a '90 LX. I still haven't told my mom that the red car parked out front is mine.

Slowly...I've been trying to get the stock EK motor to work, but the carb is just being a PITA. I forgot how much I hate carbed cars!

I'm thinking about putting my d16z6 in there with a hydro tranny. The car comes stock with a hydraulic transmission....so it won't be very hard at all in that regard. Just a set of mounts! And it'll be a 50HP increase. The car weighs 2100lbs, so it'll scoot decently.

Yep This is the second car I've towed with my '91 DX....works pretty good except I have to lie to Uhaul when I'm renting the dolley. lol.

Not too rare. White sure does look good on them, though!

From what I can tell (without looking at sales records) the most popular EF 4 door color is the light blue that you see on my car, and then probably white and grey followed by maroon and brown.

Some of the more rare colors seem to be the dark blue (kind of like the harvard blue on the 92+ Civics), red, and I've even heard rumors of a black exterior.

Ive never seen an OEM black 4 door, only the Dark grey. I had a Red '91 DX sedan. I agree with the best color combo comment.

There is one just down my street. Its not dark gray, its actually black and its mint condition, and considering the people who own it its the stock color.
