My EF9
Well it's been over 18 months but I've finally come close to finishing the makeover of my EF9. It's been a heap of fun and I have learnt lots so it's really rewarding to just stand back and admire it.
Here are a few pics of it before I sell it off and buy something like an ITR or perhaps even another Civic.
The motor is basically a poor mans B16B, it has an ITR valvetrain and B16B pistons along with adjustable cam gears.
The paint consists of a PPG black basecoat with 2 coats of Copper pearl clear
The wheels are 16 inch Advantis and it sits on Munroe shocks with King springs, I did have coilovers in it but they had a much to harsh spring rate and I wasn't overly happy with the quality of them so have resorted to lowering springs to give the car a decent stance and slightly better ride.
Questions or comments?

What would you do different? It's interesting to hear what other people would do. Bear in mind that I'm in little old New Zealand so don't get mega good deals on parts like you lucky Americans do.

Looks nice, appears to be in great shape too. I'd lower it a little more get some more old school type wheels, and are those blue blinkers? If so I'd lose those.

Nope not blue indicators. The headlights have a nasty case of Honda disease so are in constant need of polishing to get rid of the yellowing. Other than that I've been pretty lucky
I'm wanting to get rid of it as it's a little bit unpractical, I can't fit my mountain bike in the bike and most of my mates are 6 feet tall so it makes getting in and out interesting. Although I still have a soft spot for the EF's it's time to get into something bigger with more modifying potential.
