i wanted to start this build since I got the car 6 months ago... up until now I havent really had money.... Im not looking for crazy speed or appeal just something thats reliable and quick....

I wish I would have had pics of when I got the car.. I got the car at a car auction... some field workers owned... I got it for $700... the interior was dirty with dried dirt... the trunk had boots and **** still in.. everything was muddy basically not only that the oil was blacker than hersheys syrup.... just really mistreated.. but it started with the first tunr of the key everytime...
heres me 1990 honda civic ex...
a few months after I got it... whe I had hub caps.








since then I have gotten a set of rims at the junkyard which I sanded down and painted there 15 in honda rims.. got them of a hb.. this is how I got them

sanded down and painted.... well more like the finished product


I also painted an old valve cover I had... But I dont think Im gonna use this one... Im gonna take the one of the zc and paint it blue.. heres the one I painted



heres the sohc zc... and zc tranny with axles...







I also took my front bumper off and added a front lip.. I completely sanded it and resprayed it with black


me and my buddy taking the tranny and block out.. ghetto with no hoist. hahahhaa






I posted about this before I was wondering what this is... its on my positive battery connection





with rims and just cleaned

Im gonna be getting 4-2-1 headers not sure from who yet.. but I will be pretty soon.. Its gonna have that ebay intake... new iridium plugs and wires are gonna be on there way soon.. .. sony inside speakers and deck are going back In also...
I just painted the oil pan ornage too.. its pretty nice.,.. motor should be In by the end of the week...

let me know what you guys think...

also tell me what that thing is on the positive terminal

 

um... i guess i can give u credit

 

cmon man more props im only 16 oh and btw original headlights are back on

 

cool deal for a 16 year old...I tried to get my 16 year old bro in law to watch/help and learn with my b16a swap...showed no intrest...so props to you kid for working on cars

 

Hope you didn't sneeze while pulling the engine on those jacks!!! Ghetto-tech rules as long as you don't end up pinned under the bitch! Nice work. The swap looks clean. Losing the projectors is a big improvement....

five lug conversion nice take all that garbage off the battery cable its probably from a stereo or something stupid. theres nothing wrong with dropping a motor from the bottom i think its easyer.

 

the connection things on ur battery looks like a really jacked up system conection, that would be my guess, seeing how it has fuses and all, on the build drop it and swap it!!! then u will get another thumbsup

 

hahha Ive gotten that before about the 5 lug thing... those are 5 lug hub caps... its still 4 lug... and yea I just noticed projectors arent that nice... stock looks better... I want to get some clear side markers.... Im hopeing when the car is done for like 150hp or so....
Imgonna get a chipped pm6... maybe a new cai... then the 4-2-1 headers... full2.25 from cat back.. plugs wires... what kinda of power do you think Ill be making

 

looks good, glad to see another four door build up, are you in the ef-sedan squad?

 

Nice! Good to see another EF sedan saved. I was going to mention those ricer projectors but I saw that you put the originals back on.. I would stay away from clear corners and grab some amber corners (or paint the clear corners amber) and do a nice drop!!

 

Good start. Still 4wheelin.

 

Nice find on the EX.

WIsh i had a EF when i was 16.

I now own 2 4 doors at 27 and im on my 5th HOnda 4th EF.

 

hit up the squad

Idk if Im worthy!I took the projectors off becuz Im straying away from rice.. except for that ehxuats I like how it sounds!

 

haha yea this build was tiiiight its not evennnn finished...

 

haha i had to double-take man... i wa slike 5 lug??/NOOO lol i bought my hatch when i was 16. dont u jsut love your first car?

 

Boost it!

you'll make more than 150 if you do. Just keep it at about 8 psi and you should be fine.

Go to the yard, find a turbo, pull it, get a HF manifold, Adapter plate and some misc charge pies and do a HMT Set up on it.

 

for staying with the good d series

 

those are my plans for summer boosting at about 7psi with a good tune.. and 350 injectors... Idk well see how money is though....I dont really want to work to much over summer! so well see! thanks for the input guys Id appreciate some more.....

 

just post your pics and then we vote if your worthy or not but i say

 

oh and your local. Oxnard, nice! go to the junk and find your turbo parts im sure tyou wont spend more than 4- 500 on parts.

 

its cleaning up really nice..... just needs a drop and its golden.

 

Props for the 16 year old i to was 16 when i got my EF its the greatist thing to ever happen to me but yeah i give you ups i know whats its like working on a car at a young age and not haveing the money when you need write now i am trying to do a RHD and b16 swap at the same time but it has been delayd for about 6 months now cus of Damn money good thing is your going strong and have a set goal i respect you fom one teen to the other great job



Pedro and His LiL CrX

 

yea I love my little ef...
a lot of people dont see potential in older cars like ef's. but I do...
I can tell you one thing though.. One day rich kids around my neighborhood are gonna start getting beat down... I hate when rich kids try to say my car is ****.. expletive them and there parents cars and money.. Im glad to say that I have done about 100% of the work on this car and will continue doing so.. andI have spent all of my own money on the build... everyone tells me just get a new car... forget making payments and lacking style.. ef's all the way... ef sedan squad.. Ill be posting pics of the car as its getting done.. you should start thinking if you want a new member!
