Hi guys, just thought i'd introduce myself.

I'm Simon from the UK and this is my EF8. Its a pretty rare A/C + Sunroof spec model.

I've owned it for a few years now and did a complete body resto about 6 months after buying it with all outer glass seals renewed, new front screen etc, along with a full belts/fluids overhaul.

I also run a 1998 Civic ek4(b16a2 engine) Vti-s as a daily driver.They only made 200 of this model here in the UK, I'll pop some pics up in the Civic section later for you.

Hope you like!

 

^ this is what I imagine when I think about high quality builds.

FANTASTIC

Post pics of Engine.

 

clean car man

Thanks very much for the comments guys, much appreciated!!!

I carried out the majority of the work on it myself so the comments really give me some justification for all the hours(hundreds and hundreds believe me!) of hard work i put in. My fingertips were actually bleeding when i was hand blocking the panels down when it was in primer, so i can actually say it took blood,sweat and tears to get the job done.

Having said that i've been checking out some of the beautiful builds you guys have got going on in the States,and i think mine pales into insignificance in comparison to some of those. You guys have got some quality s*$t going on!!

Engine bay pics will be up next time i'm out in the garage, however its pretty stock at present and is in progress as far as getting it looking as good as the outside.

 

tooooooo sexy
how much you get it for? in dollars lol

 

Ha! Aboout $5000 at todays exchange rate, thats £3500 in the UK.

But i got it back when the £1.00 was worth $2.50 so at that rate about $9000!!!

What would you guys have to pay for it over there??

 

Right now or before you put the work into it? I could pick a CRX up all day for $300 to $500 around me.

Either way looks good.

 

I think 8-10 grand.
For a RHD one.

 

with import costs and registration and such it could easily be that much sucks

 

Well it didn't cost me anything to do the work except my time as i run a bodyshop, so thats pretty much what it owes me. It was solid enough to start with but was certainly starting to show its 19 years of age.

 

IMO, the only thing I don't like about it, other than it being too awesome for my eyes, is the exhaust.
And the only part about the exhaust being the position. It is a pet-peeve. =(

 

You're not the first to comment on the exhaust position tbh.

It came on the car so i've never even thought about changing it. It is however a 5Zigen and sounds like pure evil when Vtec engages so i'm not going to change it either

I'm told that its reason for exiting on the right hand side of the car is due to it being a shorter distance for the gasses to escape? Not sure about that one myself, but as i said its loud enough on full chat to set alarms off so its staying,although its perfectly acceptable in low down rev use also, so easy to live with which is good.

 

nice body is flawless and paint looks good get a hks exhaust

 

Nice, but this belongs in the appearance/cosmetic forum.

 

Ooops!! Apologies if i've posted in the wrong section. Please move if you need to.

 

yours is pretty clean. you should check out mine... i live for my crx. lol.
