I think I've found a NEW LOVE!!!

[madking411]

Yup, the Civvic EF hatch....im not sure what year(s) that particular model and trim are....but, i just LOOOVE that body line that it has...It could possibly become my next car if i can find a running one for ~$1000....:goodjob: Can y'all tell me everything you all like about this car, and/or if its a good one, or bad one or stories, or how engine swaps are, and describe the aftermarket, and how racing it is, etc. etc. etc.?? I wanna hear some good stuff about this car so I'll be convinced to try to find me one....:yes:

Usually, im a Toyota boy, but i think im willing to give Honda a chance now.

they are easy as hell to mod. engine swaps are jsut as easy as any honda.
they arevery lightweight, and with minimal suspension tehy handle great.

ans as u can tell jsut lowered on a pair of nice rims they look amazing.

Come with D series engines, ones with DPFI require a MPFI swap for engine swaps. Any D series motor bolts in, the JDM D15B VTEC is a great option or a D16Z6. Also ZC's are popular motors and dont require aftermarket mounts like B, H, K series do. They are easy to mod like Halfwit said, not many issues with the hatches, sometimes the hatch leaks, nothing huge. D series motors are bullet proof.

BTW the SI has a D16A6 which has MPFI, the DX and STD have D15B1 and D15B2's which are DPFI.

u can make alot of power, but it is un needed if u do the d16z6 or dual cam zcswap they become pretty nimble. u can be at 120 hp and be pretty happy. it wont be fast at that point, but will be a ver y fun car because of how light it is.

a turbo kit, or dual cam swap makes them even more fun.

do it....civics are the best lego cars you can have.

i've always disliked EF hatches, they have such a dated look.


On the other had I've always like CRX Si's -Especially in YELLOW - Strange.

I knew a fag that once owned one :D

That IS pretty strange......Oh well!:D

I like that ''dated'' look though-- just the sharp body lines, and how its just like the EG hatch, but its a much sharper version of it...Thats what comes to mind whenever I look at an EF hatch anyways......I'm just a little bit concerned about how i'll end up modding it...I dont want to end up gettin abuncha parts, and havin it turn out like ugly, loud, slow, rice.....Its almost like i need some sort of ''guide'' on how to do it right...So it turns into a nice, quick, clean, simple car.:goodjob: Thats the ultimate goal right there.

Turbo FTW!!!!

EF is defiantly my favorite. I guess owning one gives me a biased look at it, but EGs and EKs are just too common. EFs aren't seen as much and they look amazing.

I love the way mine looks and even though my car is slow, I'd pick it over any EG or EK.

Especially since mine is an STD, it's super light.

I knew a fag that once owned one :Dits like finding a midori green hatch. its a rare color.

imo...i always like the roundness of the 92-95 hatch, but i'd take an ef in a heartbeat.

[JITB]

its not gonna be any easier modding the civic money wise, than it is your sunfire...
