any comments about telling me how bad i suck and what i should do would help.

 

its a good start, get rid of the pin stripe tho...doesnt fit the style...keep it oem US..



reminds me of my first ED hatch...i miss that thing

 

if your gonna pin stripe it, at least do it evenly.

 

Hey bro, how do you like those sport shocks? i have some skunk2 coils also and i was debating on which ones to get. it was a toss up between the skunk2's or the tokico blues. i dont have alot money and they both are in my $250-300 dollar price range.

Nobody should ever say either. Good starting car. Search, find what YOU like, and do it.

 

I say its an excellent start to an awesome project!
I would like to know where you got the wheels and how much you paid for them? They may be a cheap name, but they actually look pretty good on that car! I may want to find a set for mine.
Otherwise, good luck with the build and keep us posted.
Oh by the way, it looks like in one of the pics that you need a new left rear window seal... may want to look into that.

 

i would go with skunk2 but thats me and its the only upgrade i had with shocks..and rides alot smoother with the coilovers than having stock shocks,and EFHATCHMAN.. the window was open if that was what you were looking at. and for the wheels i paid only 250 with 2 good tires. but i bought them a friend.

 

No, i was talking about the 6th picture down, the left rear quarter glass looks like it is recessed further in the window opening that it normally would be. Maybe its just the angle of the pic... i wasnt tryin to pick on you or anything, it just kinda caught my eye.
So are you planning to keep those wheels or???

 

wow
remids me of when i got my crx with its primered, lumpy hood (which it still has)
i do think you should lose the pin stripe though....but thats just my opinion. You should keep it if you like it.

 

ill probly take it off... thanks everyone ..lol ya the paint its rustoleum 50 buck down the drain, i dident even finish i just dident want my car to feel like primer so i did that 50$ paint job, feels smooth lumpy hoods are from stupid people that sit on other peoples hoods

 

gahh i know
when i got mine it looked like someone had walked on it!
i kinda straightened it out for now
but am planning on going cf
and if anyone tries to sit on it

 

lol ya... cf would be nice

 

run through someones garden? that lip is atrocious.

 

Good start. Dumped to the floor looks nice. But you scare me with the no filter comment. Does this mean you bought the car without ever looking under the hood?

Also the pinstripes look good just not on stock 90-91 cars. Or the crx for that matter. If you want pin stripes get 88-89 moldings and bumpers and color match the bumpers to the car.

 

Jeez, I wouldn't pay $900 for that EF. $500 tops.

Even that is being generous.

I got mine for $400 and it was in a billion times better condition than that.

Did you finance the wheels?

 

I paid 240$ for mine with a lot less rust than that,
but good project.
