Default Back again.... 91 ef 4 door build thread!

Well...After getting rid of the H2B ef, I started having some regret .. I told myelf that I needed to find a clean ef hatch/4door so I can do something crazy again! I ended up selling my eg coupe and found this...









I ended up picking this up for 1,200 buck from a older couple in Richmond.. The paint is in really good condition, had no rust, and all power options still work! Wheels and suspension will be done here soon, But i'm still kicking around ideas for the swap... It's between a built single cam turbo setup, A all motor B series, or do another h2b.

Nice find. Looks identical to my sedan. Same color and hubcaps...lol as far as the motor goes i did a mini me with a z6 head and went obd1. I was happy with the gain but wanted more. So i found a jdm gsr. And its a beast with the gsr. Good luck with whatever route you go. Ill try to get a pic of mine as soon as i figure out how to from this stupid iphone

After talking it over with a few friends, I'm going to go through with a built single cam turbo setup... I keep catching **** because I've always talked about doing it, but never follow through.

I love it when people save old EF civic's I have an EF wagon and love nothing more to see a nicely modded EF when driving around town. Good luck with the build and that is a sweet deal for $1200

Ok, well went to order coilovers and lca's today.. Has anyone else had problems with a online purchase with jhpusa.com? I spent 20 minutes on the phone with my bank making sure all my info was correct so they could take my monies, but it still kept declining it... On top of that, They are holding my money for 1-2 days until it gets refunded back to my account.

Damn it looks clean
You should do a sleeper turbo setup, I want to eventually find an unmolested sedan and make it look like its stock dpfi in the engine bay but actually have it boosted

lol, I didn't know your car was for sale! You make any progress on the sedan? I ended up buying a z6 swap for 60 bucks, but the motor needs to be rebuilt ( perfect for what I plan..).

I know I haven't posted much, but here is a update...

my **** got hit


Went and got a estimate done, and they told me around 2,400 bucks to fix. The guy's insurance is covering the bill hopefully, and I would love to have a nice check in the mail within the next few day. I also started tearing down the d16z6 and should have some pics of that up soon.

The insurance company didn't total the car?

The damage sucks, that car looked like a nice original survivor.

They did total it out... It was either them take the car and cut me a check for 1,900, or i keep the car and they give me 1,700. Seeing as there was no damage to the core support or anything I decided to keep it.
