Some of you may have seen this when I posted in the Cosmetic thread but I wanted to put it in here so as I add parts etc. I can share my experiences with fellow owners.
The guy I picked this up from only builds ED/EF civics and then sells them. His dad is 70 and does all the body work. Body and interior wise this thing is like new.
I bought it to hold me over until I get back from a year long Afghanistan vacation I have coming up. Until then I will make some additions to make it a nearly perfect daily.

Pic about a week after I picked it up in AZ and drove it home to NM.

I'll add more details as I get them as well as photos.

 

Looks beautiful!!! Def wanna see more pics

 

Wow that looks fantastic. Where/how did they get all new rubber seals/trim?

That must have cost you a pretty penny eh?

Lets see some more pics!

*edit* also, what do you mean the body was cut and re-threaded?

 

love the paint/refurbed trim, not digging the wheel/tire choice though.. just my opinion. excellent work though!!!

 

Looking good!

 

Since he only does ED/EFs he had some sources to get some of the harder to come by replacement/discontinued parts.

The actual coil body containing the oil and valves was cut shorter, re-threaded and custom damp spec'd to ride super low. I guess it's been done before, I had never hear of it. This rides super smooth though and will nearly sit on frame if I lowered it all the way.

Are you talking about the wheels in the pic? Those are the Work Meister CR-01s I had on the car. Those are sold and am now on the Konig Spooleds. I'll get some new pics up soon. Here is a pic of the wheels:

 

Quick update on pricelist of items purchased so far for your reference:

92-95 Intake mani minus throttle body - $75 shipped from ebay
P06 ECU - $56 shipped from ebay
Whiteline camber correction bolt kit - $25 shipped from ebay
OEM style rear upper control arms - $47 shipped from ebay
Used windsheild wiper arms - $35 shipped from ebay
Monotech DPFI to MPFI with OBD1 conversion harness - $280 shipped, This may be a lot to some of you but I didn't want to dick with any wiring which ends up being a problem in most of the MPFI conversions I've read about.

I'll try and get some updated pics up this weekend after I wash the car...it's cold out.

 

what did you do to the coils? Looking to go lower on f2's also but already maxed out

 

The housing was actually cut to make the overall length of the entire coil shorter. It was then re-threaded and filled. Pretty sure these are an oil type damper so you need a threader and know what viscosity of oil to run if you plan on this type of modification. I would guess you would run a bit heaver oil if your making the housing shorter to slow the damper rate.

 

Great looking Sedan, well put together and NOT obnoxiously overdone.

 

Looks Clean!!!

 

More pics

 

These are when I first got it back to NM from AZ. I have since sold the Works and put the wheels in above post on. New pics as soon as it's warm enough to wash and shoot.

very nice

 

After two decades the thing looks better than it did rolling off the assembly line. Anyone know where to get replacement weatherstripping and patch panels for the EF chassis?

 

Car is for sale!!! Going to Afghanistan and she needs a good home.
