Man, I had a GSR and 2 swapped civics back in the day, and can identify the sound of a B series revving out from a mile away. Have to say that this build has really taken me back to when I lived and breathed these cars. And yours is definitely one of the best built and SOUNDING B's I've seen.

@captainobvious9188 Ай бұрын

I love B series sound. I love the K series - they are awesome engines - but don’t sound that great to me.

This build brings me back. My first Honda was an EF hatch. I absolutely hammered that little 1.5l for all it had, until it blew up. Swapped in a good old B18B and the car was the fastest thing ever to 17 yr old me 😂. Great build guys loving this content! 🤟

A really useful tip for removing the glue residue from tint is use some windex or glass cleaner WITH AMONIA and a piece of soft steel wool and it will literally just melt off the glass it’s so fast and easy and works like a charm

@bgee461 Ай бұрын

Those scour pads for doing non stick dishes are a safer bet on glass

@hondahacks1014 Ай бұрын

Use a steam cleaner with w microfiber between the gun and glass

@justaguywithcrx Ай бұрын

When I was removing the tint off my CRX I used a steam cleaner.

@jonathans5318 Ай бұрын

Simple green and a scuff pad or steel wool, just don't let the simple green dry on the panels or it will leave streaks

To me the EF hatch will always be the ultimate Civic. Double-wishbone + fishbowl visibility = win.

B16B is Gods motor for that Vtec sound and crossover. IMO best sounding b series out there

@philmariop Ай бұрын

Humble tips: 80% tint the windshield, 30% tint the rest of the glass. Space the steering wheel on the hub. Consider a dished steering wheel. Could gain 4" of offset towards the driver.

@MarioFunk Ай бұрын

I was never interested in these cars in my youth, but now that I've matured and wised-up, I've come to love them, and this EF really speaks to me. Classic 80s goodness all-around. Keep up the great work, guys!

I had an eg hatch 15 years ago. B18c5 swap. That car was a hoot! 13 sec 1/4 times on street tires. I still have a clip of me ripping it on my youtube page. That thing was so much fun

Radius rod bushings are in backwards. The narrower end goes towards the washer, fatter end towards the subframe. Excellent upgrade though, lots of people forget to do them or just go to a traction bar.

Wish my tint would have come off that easily. When I pulled it off my 86 CRX it was so baked and old it just came off in small chunks! Took so long but so satisfying when it was done!

I got my origin h Ef9 bumper and the replacement indicator lights a few months ago, once I move to my new place in about a week I'll have the space and time to mount it properly. Looks good, I also purchased Ef9 headlights and a filler bar, just need a hood.

@rolandotillit2867 Ай бұрын

You guys picked good parts. Big fan of Hardrace in general, all my suspension bushings are Hardrace. After sampling the spherical joints they offer I should have gone with those, but still, their bushings are every bit as good if not better than OEM/Spoon/Mugen.

The grounding to the stud… I have my grounded to the same place as yours and I too have not noticed any power loss. Not sure why I grounded it there as well, I’m sure I had my reasons 12 years ago but like you guys, the internet had mention that my ground wire was in the wrong spot as well. 😂

24:31 Good to see some companies reproducing some JDM front end parts, including the extremely rare turn signals. Hopefully you're working on CRX front end parts too! -from an EF7 owner

@bgee461 Ай бұрын

I believe the tension rods in the front have to do with caster control more than anything. Of course you can make the caster goofy by mounting left and right upper control arms backward by accident, but thats another problem. But def they have little to do with toe and surely nothing with camber.

@Wagon_Attack Ай бұрын

The ef isnt gunna plow without a rear sway bar. Its one of the best cars for FWD oversteer. Plus the rear bar you put on is a tiny SI civic bar.

The original honda designs of the EF and the japanese model have the lip, mirrors and door handles color matched, so much cleaner. The only reason they are black was to save money. Only the belt molding was ever intended to be black on base cars and color matched on top jdm models as well Si, SiR, 25x, 25XT

@JonBonazza Ай бұрын

you might consider taking a melanin pad to the browning area on the strut towers in the engine bay. if that doesnt help, maybe paint that area. otherwise this car is sooo clean and really making me want to build a civic or crx hatch
