Just when I thought my EF single cam was slow this popped up and I can't wait to do up my suspension! Thanks for the amazing video Jon :) Cheers
Don't worry about a car being slow. The EF is FUN TO DRIVE, has classic styling, and is quite reliable and easy to repair.
Better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. EF is the best car ever made for fun-factor, field of vision, and ease to maintain. Genius platform.
@@The_Redkween it's like driving a street legal go kart! They're amazing cars
90% of fairly new racers worry about power. Its a factor but not as much as you would think. If you want to go fast and drop your lap times dump most your money into suspention and brakes. I learned this when i started racing over 30 years ago. 👍
@@jimhiscott2918 Tires make biggest initial difference but can wear out quickly, so budget wise I would agree with you because the mods should last longer so be a more worthwhile investment.
yeah that looked so fun dude. prime example of just drive what you got. no bucket seats, no b swap. just tires and a helmet.
Just picked up a 91 si from Dallas I’m actually building the motor as I watch this upload (rings and bearings and all the seals) nothing wild, watching you run around in this sedan is making me excited to get the motor back in and rip it . I’m use to b series power Ef’s but now that I’m getting older I’m wanting a nice d series with ac lol
That's how you do it.. AC is a must for old guys!
Well then add turbo to it. Anything under 160 whp in a Honda is pitiful
Depends on usage. The owner daily drives this car intermittently also. I've seen many B swapped cars that have a hard time keeping up with this thing.
A '91 Si is plenty fun to drive, even with the stock motor. It's nice to be somewhat stock, if you want to be able to have a car repaired at any local mechanic without drawing them a picture.
@@TheBb6prelude you must be 23. 😂
My 90 LX 5 speed is probably my all time favorite car even with the crappy cable clutch that never seemed to release at the same point. It was red with the gray interior and it took me everywhere. I put a tubular exhaust manifold on it and added a short throw shifter.
That was fun to watch. I just got my ‘88 CRX (the SHOE, as my daughter calls it) out of winter storage. I’m a happy man!
Don't ever sell that car. You'll regret it for the rest of your life.
I love it! Driving a slow car fast is what it's all about!
I've always wanted a 1990 civic sedan. I love it!
Nice 4th generation 90s civic and all power windows LX 😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the power locks for sure!
Got to watch winters a bit and he knows that car inside and out kept up with a suby wagon with no issues
Man, when you caught back up to that EM1 after giving it all that room... spiked my blood pressure and I was only watching, haha
Lol, imagine mine. And I'm a pretty fuckin chill guy too
That Blue EK was killing your corner entrance speed. How aggravating. He should have yielded you by.
It really was a shame. They emphasize this at the drivers meeting but some people aren't actually listening.
Would love to see more of this car, I daily a 91 civic lx in this exact color
Hopefully I can get more of it on video in the future.
That is a clean one ! I got a 1991civic lx with b18 head b20 base stage 4 cam head 🔥
What transmission? I had a B20 vtec and it would smoke the tires all the way to 60mph. I think it was a B16 transmission... 8,000 rpm at 60, in second gear. Mine was in a hatchback, and it was very fun to drive.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 thinking of doing a b20b vtec. Would you recommend it?
I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE beautiful beautiful old cars like these. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 soo much!!
What size wheels/tires? 15x8? Look good on it, struggling to find new body panels fenders bumpers etc for mine.
Yes. 225/45
This thing fucks! I have the exact same car same color and and trim but looks nothing like yours. Keep it up
Awesome! Really makes me wanna get started on my 91 DX.
The fact that ass wipe wouldn't give you a pass...🙄 then you give him a huge margin and *still* pass him.
Very cool stuff!
Right, not trying to be a bully but just want some solid clean runs. It's not often I get to drive friends cars out there.
Nice driving! I will always prefer the “under-powered” EF setups. I just wish they had a tad more torque.
You and me both!
Nankang ar1 tires are prob the best budget track tire you can buy
Seems to be a great choice!
This looks so fun you don’t need power to party.
For reals Curtis, definitely a bucket of fun!
I had a smile from ear to ear while you where on the blue cars ass for driving like Granby 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 mad love for the JDM community and og Hondas
That's one good looking sedan 😍
👍 agreed
This engine gets really good gas mileage too. I have one swapped into a '90 hatch, with a 5 speed, for just that purpose.
👍
Solid looking car man! Didn’t expect that from it haha.
It'll be a ton of fun once he finally finishes getting all the parts for his K swap. 😎
@@GarageBuiltHondas oh man! That’s definitely gonna be some fun !
looks like a lot of fun. sounded really good too. Any info on suspension setup?
Function Form Type 1's along with an ASR subframe/bar combo. Not sure if he has completed all of the suspension bushings though.
@@GarageBuiltHondas nice! Thanks for getting back to me.
That was great to watch 👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks for taking a look!
You're bliping the throttle a little early, best way is to clutch in, neutral, blip the throttle and then downshift, one smooth action
👍
I love the MHA peeker lol
Man I had a 89 four-door DX and I swapped a 89 SI engine into it and that thing was a sleeper
I have one here at home a 91 civic DX sedan and had it park for 7 years and these machines are always alive 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨💨
@@rauldelrio9251 I'm the proud second owner of an original 89 Civic SI hatchback that I have built and loved for over 23 years. Fully restored, rear disc conversion, 1.8 L VTEC
@@benmiller9854 '88-'91 Si is one of the best cars ever made. Don't ever sell that.
I have a Honda Civic LX 1991 color (black) recently replaced My battery , I started my car wrong & it stopped working so I bought a new battery thinking that was the problem I just turned 21 my dad gave me a awesome birthday gift for but I do not know how to take care of this car ! It’s difficult finding parts finding out what’s wrong with it might end up selling not to sure ! If I do I will invest into a bit of a newer year car around 2002 looking for $2,000
Sell it if you don't have the desire to work on it. They can be a pain sometimes.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I received it for my 21st birthday not even one month ago , it’s my only source of income I do insta cart I’m trying to save for a apt but I’m starting to build a desire for putting work in on her but rn I don’t have the $ for to do so I would love to talk to you through chat ? Maybe help me out ?🔧🙏🏾
I had my seatbelt do the samething years ago, turns out the unit behind the door panel that’s together with the door lock had fried itself lol I had to force the sliding buckle back into lock position lol
👍
where did you get the rubber
cover that sits on top of the dashboard
Tegiwa
how do i find tracks in my area to drive on? so i’m not always on public roads
Google it. Something may pop up. You might have some local SCCA auto-x events in your town too. Where do you live?
@@GarageBuiltHondas north west georgia. just got a crx i want to build. we got some nice backroads and mountain roads, but i want to drive it on the track too. idek where to start to find any
Check out Road Atlanta. Look into GridLife as well to see if they have any events in your area.
@@GarageBuiltHondas ok thanks
My neighbor selling one the same color I think he said 1990 or 1992 clean title in Santa Ana Cali
Miss my 88. 😂
Have you or do yo know someone who's bagged on of these? My girl has a 91 lx and it's pretty mint. We want to do bags, wheels, and a few other minor things. We're actually out here in Albuquerque too.
I do not. I'm sure it's possible, I've seen a handful of older Hondas in the past on bags/airlift.
The secret is out? hahahaha
Just might be. Lol
@@GarageBuiltHondas I remember looking at the sedans and not liking them back in the 80s...but now, all EFs are so rare, man. Even a sedan makes you go wow!
Funny how that happens. Scarcity creates an appreciation for things.
I got a all wheel drive ef sedan turbo for sale that I never really drive
How come nobody has bought it yet?
@@GarageBuiltHondas just now decided to sell because I want a Subaru xt
Cool. What's the price tag and condition on it?
@@GarageBuiltHondas it’s got cp piston eagle rods , super tech valve train , hondata v3 and so much more .never ran it only around block it was only going to be a willow springs trailer car $5000
Why would you sell that? And AWD EF turbo would be a fun car to drive. Too bad it's not a EF hatchback, though.
Not sure if its in a video, but what connector piece is that on the intake arm from filter to throttle body? Trying to run something very similar on mine
I think one he had custom built. You could use generic intake piping and do the same. I did that on my 91 Si with an SiR intake box.
I wanna do a Mpfi conversion on my 90 dx sedan how would I do it would i need new distributor different electric parts for the fuel injectors ?

What size tires?
225/45
Series Sh4 Indonesia
👍
Hey bro where can I go to get an alignment out in El Paso for lowered cars...
Martin Tire in Canutillo. Ask for the Jaime or Gustabo. If you're too low you won't be able to get onto their tire machine but they align all my cars for me. I just believe there's no warranty for a lowered car since I run negative camber. I'd suggest you make sure your suspension is set, all ball joints and bushings in great shape.
What happened to the B16A?
That was my old sedan. This is my friends.
What brand exhaust dose it have?
how do you like those nangkangs? im looking to finally get off 300 treadwears
Man, they stick. I loved em. I'd like to try them next on my crx
What was his suspension setup? Do you know? I’m very curious. I’m in the middle of building my ef hatch with a high compression na d15 and I want to focus on suspension and tires
I assume you have coilovers, strut tower bar and adjustable shocks already?
Function Form Type 1 with ASR lower brace/bar and some sort of rear LCAs. Upgraded bushings at RTA also
@@GarageBuiltHondas what tires are those? Couldn't see brand and size. You guys seemed to agree on how good they were
Nankang AR1
What was with that guy in the EM1? lol. All over the place and refusing to yield to other drivers.
Man, that was the worst. The passenger would throw a ✌️ sign to us also in the straights.
@@GarageBuiltHondas he was saying "bye bye 👋" just for you guys to catch them on every corner 🤣
Great driving and owner has a good set up and is working with what he got! D series still pulling strong.
Lol!
It really was enjoyable to drive, super solid.
What's the point 👉 of EM1 giving you the point by and not letting you go? You just confuse everyone not to mention a bit unsafe.
They were throwing up a peace ✌️ sign like saying see ya later. 😐
Size of the wheels?
15x8
Dont u used wheel spaicer ?
No
What model is the steering wheel from?
I'm unsure.
Prelude si 88 I believe
What size wheel and offset is that?
15x8 +35ish. Not sure the exact sizing on this wheel.
what coilovers?
Function Form Type 1's
Wow EM1 driver was annoying
This sandia?
No, this is 4 hours south at Arroyo Seco Raceway in Akela Flats.
