Made the 11 hour trip this weekend to purchase the newest addition to my EF family. This will be my new daily driver while I build up my other 88 DX. The sedan is in decent condition but for $600 I couldn't say no. Tranny was rebuilt (new snycros and seals) within 2k ago. The motor and chassie have 180k. The car came with a generic intake, H&R cup kit springs, Koni yellows, generic strut and tie bars, cd player and speakers. I plan to restore the sedan then add some jdm/edm flavor to it. The best four parts about this: 1 EX, 2 Black on Grey, 3 manual and 4 sunroof On to the pix

As you can see it's not mint but it was worth the money. The plans are to replace the head gasket, timing belt, water pump, exhaust, suspension (donating to my DX), battery, plugs and wires with new. The body will get touched up and re-painted the factory black. The interior will get new black carpet, headliner, door inserts and front and rear seats. After inspection I'll throw on my generic header, short throw and replace the filter with a K&N. The power steering, A/C, cruise and power locks need to be fixed. The suspension will get new 89 Accord front shocks, new rear shocks and my Ebay special coilovers until the Omni Power sleeve over's come in. Some bottle caps on some new tires and it'll be good to go (for now). Other things will be done depending on the budget which is limited to save for my move to Cali

Weee... Jon has a sedan. Bring the bitch over and we'll put some arp's and a metal HG on her.

 

Damn, you got that for $600? I would say you got a hell of a deal on it.

 

That's the plan

I'll get some better pix up soon. Including the motor and interior. Also forgot to mention the DA front lip, EF side markers, ED corners and JDM bumper lights are to come soon.

I'm thinking we should do the HG, headstuds, waterpump, and t-belt all at the same time Jon. We could crack it out in a day.

 

I'll come over one Saturday and we'll crank out the whole tune up.

Cool. I'd reccomend getting ARP headstuds, an OEM Y8 HG, and OEM t-belt kit. (Prostreetonline.com has them for $140.)

The nice thing about the arp's is that for one, they give you better protection ahgainst headlift, but they also let you take the head off again if you need to without having to buy new studs. It's not good to re-use the bolts becasue they are stretch bolts.

The y8 hg is awesome cause it's mls, not that shitty paper.

 

Does it increase compression at all?

If anything it might lower it a little. Not enough to affect anything.

I got a cometic HG on mine (basically the same) and didn't notice a difference.

 

Sounds good to me. Not really looking to lower it or raise it really. Just a daily, not a race car like you

Not yet it ain't.

 

you got a DEAL....and i'd call that particular combination rare. i'm jealous....bastard

 

Very good deal, I paid a grand for my EF sedan. It only has 161,xxx to this day, though it's body is in worse condition. Why 89 Accord front shocks?

Looking forward to seeing your work.

 

Damn ex sunroof. **** has great potential

 

up for a fellow ex owner


mine doesnt have a sunroof

 

i like u.

 

Tehy have a factory sunroof? Wierd

 

EX's are great. I scored an EX for $350 about a year ago and rebuilt it for my father-in-law.

I, too, am a Sedan *****. ED3's rock.

 

Thanks for all of the complinments. I'm picking up a set of bottle caps this weekend for it

That and extended top hats allow the front to go lower and leason the risk of something messing up. I love the setup it has right now but that will be needed much more on my other one.

 

You straight up stole that thing. Lucky

 

nice and good luck wit it i miss mine so much

 

Thanks

 

Bottle caps fell through may just be riding on hub caps for a while
