90 EF Sedan
just got my first car about a month ago a 1990 EF Sedan 5 speed, 75,000 miles...i've been following the Honda scene since i was 12. i had a friend who owned a CRX back then and thats how i got into Honda's. so i jumped at the chance to buy this sedan...cause not everybody drives an EF Sedan.
heres a few pictures...


first thing i have in mind is audio....yeah i know heckuva thing to start with...but we have the worst radio stations here so....id like to have some real music while im cruising. im thinking probably just a head unit and some new speakers. Im also thinking of a ZC swap...i gave some thought to a Type-R swap but 1. its very expensive 2. its very expensive. on the other hand it would be cool to have the only EF Sedan with a R heart in Lancaster. other then the ZC swap im planning on upgrading the suspension...get some Rotas or something...and also throw on Thermal's Classic exhaust system. lemme now if you have any ideas for me.
thanks for checkin my thread out.

thanks for the comments guys...hopefully going to pick up some speakers and a head unit this weekend...they should be in by next week. oh yeah and im considering a B16.... its a tough decision cause i want some frekin power in this thing...its got like what??? 97 hp....it basically sucks....tho its not that bad cause it weighs under a ton. =D lemme know what you think.
its just my $0.02 but i would lower it and keep the body stock put a jdm front bumper and jdm side turn signal lights. and put a nice paint job on it and after doing a nice swap. ls would make this run nice and be a pretty smooth ride just my sugestion. but looks nice keep us all updated
to a clean ef sedan

Nice lean sedan man. I have one as well just not as mint as yours. Im repping the sohc. I would say sohc and boost better than a B. I love my single zc. but anyways nice start and audio is always good. the first week I got my sedan I got sony throughout. its nice having a av jack or whatever for an ipod. keep it simple. drop ,wheels swap.
That is one seriously nice example. You just don't find those in PA every day. The body is perfect.

Not if you plan on driving it through Pennsylvania winters.
Four years from now it will be rusted enough that it won't pass state safety inspection unless you take it somewhere that will "lick 'n' stick."

Why?
I enjoy driving my 70hp STD hatchback. Yeah, it will lose to a Ferrari, but I have a grand total of $500 in it, the insurance is cheap, consumables are cheap, I never get speeding tickets, and I get 45mpg on 87 octane. It certainly moves fast enough to get me where I'm going and hauls all my chit. And when it rusts to hell, I'll throw it away and buy something else. I haven't once considered swapping in a different torqueless lump that only gets 28mpg on 93 octane.
Seriously, I've been there, done that. Don't dump useless money into a dead-end car. Stock, it's great for college transport - take advantage of that and save up your cash while you study, so you can buy something really nice when you get out of school.
Otherwise you just might end up 24 and poor, driving a shitbox. Like me.

thanks for the comments guys. going saturday to pick up audio stuff. should be good stuff....as for the engine...ive strongly considered that as well....what i would eventually like to be driving is a either a '00 Si or an '03 Si...but since im in high school thats not gonna happen for a while...yeah the thing pulls for a sedan i guess...due to being under a ton in weight...but yeah ill update soon with audio pics.
