Well, I traded my 240SX (stock fastback) for my very first Honda. It's a 91 Civic STD !!! At first I was weary of the trade because the EF's appearance and performance. Sure, the 240SX wasn't fast (in fact, it doesn't even run yet, as it is undergoing the stock KA24E swap) but as I stare more and more at the EF, the more I begin to admire it's shape.

I'm basically just poking my head into the forums (been lurking around) and just saying "hi" to all you fellow EF/CRX owners. Here are some pics btw.







Btw, there is a Gather's cassette deck in the car now and I realize that the bezel around the cluster is white (friend picked up the car like that)..

 

nice to see that you have seen the light and come to the honda side. just messing with you man. looks like a clean start

 

Thanks . It has 205k miles on it, but that's just the beginning (I hope). First thing I'm doing is switching to an SI cluster, primering the car and possibly painting it white (ghetto style) and than throwing on some old-school rims off of a BMW or something (the car is already lowered on generic coilovers). I'm looking to invest no more than $200 on the car.

 

my rex has roughly 250000 miles, but only 60000 on my B16

 

nice seats what about the outside of the car? how does it look?

 

has Si seats thats a plus!

 

Currently has full SI interior except for the stupid cluster. However, there are some misc bolts missing in the car that I'll need to purchase at Home Depot or something. The exterior is waiting for a new front end, where the whole car will be primered and then most likely "ghetto-painted"... Most of you may think that I got ripped but the 240 was in the same condition xP. It needs a new front end, and has to have the new motor dropped in it. The interior is also dirty and needs a color change .

 

I have a cluster if you need one! PM me if your interested!

 

Time to get your first perscription of antibiotics then

 

I would PM you but I'm a trial member (for now). Noone noticed the JDM road flare?!?! . I'm off to bed for now, but I'll check back and update the thread tomorrow in one LOOONNNGG post (stupid 5 post a day regulation).

 

Nice,

Thank you god, I'm not the only one who caught that.

Ironicly, I drive an EF and want a 240. Not to replace the EF, no, she has too much charm. But man, some RWD would be nice once in a while. Mabey a Miata if they were cheaper...

Let us know how you like it.

Thought that I would bring some interest to the title. . Anywho, the car is sitting in my garage now awaiting a new front end and an SI cluster. Seriously, the one in there now is an eye sore, and I'm going to at least repaint it back to black before I throw it away so the garbage man doesn't get pink eye or something .

I'm planning to just go open header (it's not loud at all since it's the "whimpiest" 1.5L out there) and throw on a K&N filter since it's just sitting around. I realize that I won't be seeing any gains, but I got the car for the sole purpose of saving gas .

Btw, would it be good to Seafoam the car and then use Engine Restorer right after??

I can't post anymore for a bit, so I thought that I'd just edit my post. I was just curious, are the BMW bottlecaps made by BBS as well? How much do they go for?!? Someone just offered me 3 wheels (he doesn't have the 4th) for 75$.

This 5 post count blows ***** .

When I cracked my B-pipe in half on my old 1.5, it was deafening. It was also extremely illegal.

 

My friend was running open header and it wasn't loud at all.
Here are some more pics.



I also managed to pick up some new shoes for the car today. I'm basically trying to stay away from the other 99% of the EF's that look exactly the same (RoTa'S )



Guess who's cluster isn't white?!?



Just for reference, here are some pics before I do anything with the exterior (no rust at all).





After putting the front end on, I'm going to go ahead and primer the car, and then apply paint of some color...

 

I had to run open header for a week, it was the loudest thing on earth.. especially at like 4krpm where it's at it's deepest.. it was like extreme bass penetrating my ears, my ears would ring if I kept @ 4krpm for more than 5 seconds lol.. You can try just removing the axleback.. I did that but it was just as loud minus the murdering bass @ 4krpm

 

The thing is, I don't have a stock muffler and I'm pulling my Trust exhaust to sell it. I might as well post the mods that came with the car...

- JDM Front End (hence the reason why I don't have a front end on the car as of now)
- JDM Cluster
- JDM Climate Control
- JDM Taillights
- JDM Gather's Deck
- JDM Trust Exhaust
- Skunk2 Shortshifter
- Spoon Shiftknob
- Beginner Driver Japan Symbol-thing (not a mod, but it's cool looking)
- Brand new Rota Slips
- Brand new AEM Wideband
- GC Coilovers
- SI Interior (not really a mod)
- CRX SI wheels (UgLy!)

I'm just selling everything to recoupe some money for the 240SX that I traded . I'll probably pick up the stock exhaust from someone that I know, and just use that then minus the axleback .

 

Nice car, I guess you got bit by the EF werewolf and now your one of us...lol...welcome to the EF community
