hey guys! I currently own an EG sedan with a decent amount of mods, but no swap yet. I am thinkin of throwin it up for sale, and if I can get more then i probably should, I was thinkin of buyin an EF hatch and doin a swap right away.

I wanted to ask a favour if i could. Can you guys throw up some neeD to knoW things about EFs for me? I cant go into this blind and I know lots about EGs but nuthin about EFs (example trim levels, aftermarket support, etc)

post some pics to if youd like, right now i am goin through the sticky gallery to get a feel for how i can make it look.

thanx dudes, maybe I will be posting here regularly soon

 

I like the subtle JDM style, by aftermarket I meant classy parts as I am pretty sure most everything made by companies for EGs, etc also makes things for EFs

thanx again

 

parts should be cheaper for ef's than eg's, and ef's are cooler because you can get a nice looking jdm front for them. i love my wife's 90 EF. definitely a step down from her 2000 ex coupe, but still a sweet car. it's a lot nicer now that it's MPFI, and it'll be even nicer after I get done with the b17a swap.

ef's =

 

anyone one have pics of the jdm front end? Its funny the last couple years I have been oblivious to the good ol 88-91 bad boys

 

i beleive this is a VT. but its actually the same front enf the EF9 has

 

what trim level is best to start with for a Bseries swap? I dont need air, cruise, or power steering...

 

if your not really feelin the jdm route you can make a really nice drag or street car. USDM has a lot to offer.

 

on the Civic HB models.... SI
on the CRX model the Si and the HF ones

 

cool what options came on the Si hatch?? I see the sunroof ro moonroof which ever it is....

 

its an overall more sporty model than the rest, it has si seats (which lots of ef owners w/o si seats look to get these rare seats that are disigned by recaro), also some have the rear speaker holder, and the knuckle/hubs on the si are compatible w/ a b16a swap (std/dx hatches need si or da knuckle/hub for swap). Thats all i really can't think of anything else

 

i gotcha cool thanx ...anything else I should know for when I go looking for a used EF???

 

The B-series swap works easily on any EF civic or CRX except the CRX HF needs hubs from a standard civic. Non-SI models will require more extensive wiring changes

The EF civic was the first double wishbone civics and shares most of the goodness of later civics at a fraction of the cost. if you like the boxier shape.
you can get equal or better performance with the lighter ,older EF than any other civic.
EF=
buy a EF civic SI
EF9 JDM front end=925.oo ish
B16A Sir1=1500.oo ish
hell yeah then you got a nice ride

 

I am guessin most of the good lookin front ends I have seen are JDM fronts....925 is a lot of coin for looks ...dang .....then again I got mugen rims so i guess I am kind of a hypocrite haha

well they are growin on me....mom just said my car looks way nicer then "those old ones" hahaha

 

I love my EF, well ED7 but heres a pic, if youre wondering what wheels they are they are volk NRS.

 

Much to EFs. Very great overall car

 

nice EF....do also have the SiR side moldings and side skirts.....if so i was wondering where you picked it up for and for how much

 

i use to have a eg sedan with a couple mods, and it was a fun all around car, just not as fun as i wanted. then i got my ZC crx and fell in LOVE with ef's. they are so driver oriented, and so much fun. i love the looks, the things you can do, how they are cheaper(usually) than EG's, and they are just dope all around cars. get an ef!

 

I dont have jdm sir side moldings, but the 88-89 side moldings are pretty much the same thing which i plan on getting and as for the side skirts i wish those are one of those things that are hard to get for this car, i cant seem to locate them.

 

sick

 

That was a pretty good 1st post. Most newbie posts suck.. especially their 1st one.

 

ED7 is a European Domestc Market Si like version. You have a iVT front. Did you make a front conversion?
