Ben's Honda EF Build!!
Alrighty! this is my first build thread, so please message me on any errors i made on this thread! sit back, read and enjoy BIG BEN'S EF BUILD!!
i will try to update as much as possible!
to start, i bought the car in summer at the age of 14, for $1200, and yes i bought it not my parents.(A JOB OBVIOUSLY) and i had the car ever since, i will try to update as much as possible
here is a picture the first day i brought my EF'in car home.
when i got it home, i vacuumed the crap of the inside interior, and wiped all the dust and crappy crap out. heres how the interior looked, it had a sparco seat wit only two bolts bolted down, a beat up passenger side ef si seat(not in pic), an old 89 rear si seats
then i searched for a good decent set of ef si seats..picked these up.. $30
the seats were all torn and messed up sooo..i searched for better ones, haha.
i hit the jackpot and the homie MIKE hooked me up on some fresh EF SI seats plus fresh rear EF SI seats, in trade for my old seats and 80 bucks!..damn a deal on seats cant get any better then that..
then i replaced my cracked window with a new one window

Re: Ben's Honda EF Build!!
Yeah its was a straight bolt on...since the seats are from the 90-91 civic, I'm not really sure about the 88-89 chassis might be a different setup...

Re: Ben's Honda EF Build!!
alrighty guys...so my homie mike hooked me up with an EF9 FRONT END...yes i said it!!..i was super pumped...i traded my usdm front end for his ef9 front end plus mulla$... ok so i pulled my whole usdm front end out, so i can get ready to slap on the SPANKING ef9 front the next day, so we can swap it smooth and quickly
oo and the car was swapped with a crate motor from japan..a crappy running ZC
in the future i will swap it with something better...not sure what motor yet but you guys will see..so keep a look out!

Re: Ben's Honda EF Build!!
alright we slapped the usdm front on mikes cars quickly becuase he had to run and do things....and i slapped the new EF9 FRONT that night..what i really liked about the front end is..it came with the hard to find circle fogs!! FTW! if you do find the fogs online.their prolly priced sky high!...so i was pretty luck i got the front for a fair price.. OO and came with the J'S RACING LIP!!..im feeling proud for my build now..lets just hope ill kepp updating lol... inspiration is what keep me going lol!!
not really worried about the paint chips right now.. doesn't bother me...

Re: Ben's Honda EF Build!!
Looks like a great start. You made the right desicion on the steering wheel. However, once you get a few nice parts you can't get lazy and start to buy cheap stuff. Save your money and do it right the first time.
