It's no secret that Hondas are extremely diverse when it comes to upgrading or replacing parts from other perhaps more well equipped Hondas/Acuras. Conversions within the Honda community have been around since or perhaps before the first motor swaps were being performed. The popularity of conversions is great and I think that with the EF/ED chassis this is especially true. Donor vehicles are usually newer, with more advanced technology than our old EF's are, although this isn't always the case. Some conversions are done out of necessity. Example: upgrading to a Si guage cluster from a DX. Some conversions are done to achieve a certain look. Example: a JDM front end.
Aside from the obvious drivetrain transplants some of these conversions include:
Rear disc brake conversions
JDM front/rear ends
Guage cluster swaps
Seat conversions
Suspension conversions
the list is endless.

What are some of the conversions you've done on your EF chassis? What conversions do you plan on doing?

I guess I'll start...

DA rear disc brakes
DC center console
Del Sol seats (couldn't find a DIY...had to improvise here)
DA steering wheel (cruise control coming soon)
GSR gauge cluster

Future conversions

EX front brake upgrade
DA radiator
EDM door panels w/ power windows
OBD0-OBD1 conversion
I think thats it. Post yours up.
