I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that it is time to part ways with my EF hatch. A job change, living somewhere without a garage, and my hopes of someday being a small business owner are the reasons this car is up for sale. I built this car with the goal of creating an all-around all purpose vehicle that can do everything from track days to long road trips to daily driving. This car is solid and has been driven across the country (I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again). The non-vtech engine and many of the mods were chosen because my intention was to eventually boost the car. All of the supporting mods are there; all the car needs is a fuel pump, injectors, and a turbo system to be a reliable (and well performing) turbo car. I have owned the car for 3 years and the “build” has been complete for about a year with probably about 5K miles on it.

VIN: 2HGED6349LH564372. Clean title in my possession. No known accidents.

NO A/C OR PS: I bought the car this way and didn’t care because I wanted plenty of room for a turbo

I have over $10,000 in receipts not including the cost of the car! These will be given to the new buyer. I built this car with the intention of owning it for decades and I tried to source OEM for every part that was replaced. I also have some small spare parts (many new in packaging) that will come with the car (extra valve cover, rear hatch center panel, lots of new seals, clips, A/C bracket and other stuff). The car is not perfect (in my eyes no vehicle ever is), and have a few recommendations for the new owner:

Stiffer exhaust doughnut bushings: During hard cornering or large bumps the exhaust tubing will rub slightly on the rear sway bar due to movement. The muffler is massive and kinda heavy, and is probably what is causing this. A different aftermarket sway bar might also be a solution.

Interior swap: The original interior was blue and I started swapping pieces to black but I haven’t been able to find a full SI interior swap yet. The current interior is complete but the dash has a few cracks and there are some screw holes from where the previous owner installed tweeters. There is also a crack in one of the rear speaker shelves. It does have nice black carpet though!

Shifter bushing: there is a slight buzz during highway driving from the shifter touching the shift gate. It could also be part of the short shift kit making noise. It doesn’t affect drivability, it is just annoying. I haven’t had a chance to pull the console off and take a peek, but if the opportunity presents itself before the car sells, it will be replaced.

 

Props for all the hard work & invested money.
Anyone who's build a decent car should be able to see the time/money invested.

$6K is high just because people will be able to get into decently clean eg/ek with bvtec swaps, but just hold out for the right EF fan/buyer.

GLWTS homie

Thanks man! There is a lot of patience and late nights in this car! Looking through the classifieds at the other for sale ads I didn't quite realize just how much car you can buy for $6K. Should have bought one instead of building lol. I am up against some stiff competition to say the least. However, even if I received my asking price I'm still losing a substantial sum of money so I've got to try...

 

posting picture of bay & interior shot goes along way too.

I have the same coilovers on my turbo ef... ... love them !

since the exterior is oem, oem mirrors would of been nice, I have the spoon replica on my ef and they fit like **** but looks decent with my og ricer ww kit.

 

Bump.....rearranged some photos, lowered the price, added some trade options!

 

Daily bump! Come on guys, how many civics do you know of that have been painted the same color as an S2000 CR? As far as I know its the only apex blue pearl EF in the country!!!

 

No one likes EF's? Bump!

 

Not for 5700 lol

 

BUMP!!! Still can't believe the lack of interest in this car. Whoever ends up with this car is going to get an awesome deal. I'm mainly interested in cash but *Might* also consider a trade for a fox body mustang.

 

 

BUMP!

 

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!! Who has a miata they want to trade?

 

Car looks great

 

Thanks man!


BUMP! Dropped the price again!

 

Good looking car. Seems like it came from a proper owner.

 

5,000, I was looking for the second car in the pics, or a k under the hood.

 

Feel free to go build a similar car and then let me know what your receipts add up to. Then put it up for sale for well below half of your investment so I can make snide remarks about it.

 

Bump!!! Another price drop.......

Mainly interested in a stock car for trades. Car may go on Ebay if I don't get some more bites soon.

Help me fund the dream of starting my own business!

 

Bump.....$4900.................................... .

 

Car is still for sale! I would consider some nice tools as a partial trade!
Don't be afraid to make an offer!

 

Bump! $4900 OBO

 

Like the paint color. I had a b18a in a car as well with over 15k invested in total car and suspension and I sold it for 3500 just to give you an idea. My engine was built as well for turbo.

 

Sucks you have to get rid of her, looked like a fun project. GLWS for a fellow EF owner.

 

Thanks guys! I wish I could keep it (who wants to lose tons of money and let go of endless hours of hard work?) but times are tight right now and I'm trying to think long term and act responsibly. I'd love to keep it and do something like put a F series turbo motor together.

 

It took me 9 months to sell my ITR swapped DA. I had just dropped almost $5,000 on the motor, trans, ecu, jumper, ect. Ect. I ended up letting it go for $4,500 with a starting price of $5,500. Just be patient it takes time, advertising every where you can, and the right person to come along that is looking for your particular car. You have a very clean well put together car someone will come along. GLWS again nicely done!
