are there any cheap and easy mods i can do to my ef hatch?

 

Plenty of mods can be found here and here.

 

fix the old and worn. should entertain you for a while

 

Since it seems like you're just getting into the whole automotive game, start with fixing up whats broken. Then move on to what can be upgraded. Intake/Headers/Exhaust, (I/H/E), are usually the first to be swapped.

 

to be honest there's nothing really broken at all. my family got the car from my uncle when i was 11 and it was in excellent condition and it had been garaged ever since untill october of last year and i'm 17 now. i upgraded the intake to a short ram and my dad put on a catback exhaust when i started driving it.

 

lower it, rims,

 

Well basically you have a few options, get new interior pieces (i.e. seat/optional center console, armrest), then exterior (blah blah blah), check this link: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1508680

 

get msd external coil. Save me gas, and better response

 

What are so good coilovers i can get? i am getting an ef saturday and i wanted to know some good coilovers that are not $700+,

 

Skunk2 and Ground Control have good coilover sets. I got my Skunk2s for free.

 

Progress Coilovers! Best bang for your buck

 

type 2s

 

i said under 700$ haha i wish they had racelands, but they dont, so idk, i thought about godspeed but i want it to dump me, and those wont do the trick... ive thought about just breaking down and getting skunk2's but idk, i dont get the car tell sat, i guess ill decide then AND ALSO CAN I GET A LINK TO UR SUGGESTIONS,
And will these coilovers dump me ive tried finding stuff, but lot of research and not much has came out of it does anyone know if the Skunk2 pro-s coilovers will be good? http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...at=1204&page=1 this is all new to me this is my first honda, so i have a lot of questions

 

It really depends on your budget... and what you've done so far with your EF upgrade includes.... exhaust, lowering springs/coilovers, intake, headers, rims, new paintjob... or you can even try tinting your windows...

 

My friend has his Da dumped on Pro-c coils but those are expensive.

 

replace all your old bushings,balljoints and other worn parts...whatever money you have left then you can start to save for a good suspension setup...!!!

 

I'll second that. Have fun doing all the dried up bushings and freshen up your suspension and brakes. Then move to the motor stuff. You'll be surprised how much fun a car with good suspension, brakes and just I/H/E can be...

 

Best post in this thread.

It's embarrassing to see posts like most of these.

 

what are your goals for the car?
DD? Gas sipper? Any track use?

 

DD for now atleast. i love my hatch right now, it looks good no matter what and its the great on mpg ;D

for now i'm really leaning into form>function, just bcuz i have other projects that could be put into function>form. call me a traitor but i also have a 91 toyota supra turbo.

BUT HONDA LOVE FOREVER HAHA :D

i really want to get a new suspension but my dad owns an auto shop and all the kids who do coilovers or lowering springs always comeback bcuz they ate **** on curbs, speed bumps, dips and stuff like that and my dad doesn't want me doing that. especially where i live, there's a bunch of hazards for low cars.

 

u can lower it, just not too much to destroy it, like maybe 1"-1.5" for a dd imo

 

2" drop is max for a DD, I run 1 3/4" with extended top hats on the rear. If you do decide to drop it, for the fronts I would run a set of struts for a 3rg gen accord - they fit perfectly, and they are 1 1/2" shorter - which eliminates the need for extended top hats up front.

 

You can never go to low anyone have dropzones>?

If this is your daily i'd say leave it alone and work on your projects. Just keep it running happy and healthy.
