I remember in high school these 4 door civics slammed and a lot of them had the chrome momo star rims. Very good looking car. Brings back memories. I always wanted a 91 si hatch in the teal color.
The ED3 is stupidly slept on. My first car was a '90 Civic LX. I turbo'd it using a manifold from a CRX HF and an adapter plate to feed an IHI RHB5 from a junkyard Subaru RX pushing through a Volvo intercooler. I've driven plenty of SERIOUSLY fast cars since then, but that was still the most fun I've had in any car.
Had one of these LX in Charcoal Gray with power windows, nice 16" rims, sound system, aftermarket steering wheel, custom exhaust, cold air intakes (all innovative back then) and parting from it in 2002 still hurts...
That paint is smooth as glass, love it!❤ Always loved Hondas since my older brother bought a new ’81 Accord 4dr. In the early to late 80s my friend’s mother had a ‘76 Civic and my landlord had a ‘77 to be replaced with an ’87 4dr. They were great fun to drive! COOL Car!!! Keep it driving like a HONDA! 👊🏻✌🏻🇨🇦
I put the same HKS exhaust on my little brothers '90 Si after he died in '08. I found him the car in '98 because he was mad I had sold my '85 CRX Si to someone else. In '00 I was driving my '88 CRX Si and I found a '90 4dr EX that I tried to get friends to buy, but no one but my brother and I liked it. The 4dr EX was vary rare around here, same D16a6 and 5spd as my CRX Si.
My brothers buddy back in 99 had a 98’ ek sedan with a gsr swap. Was one of the first swaps like that I saw as a young teen in the late 90’s. I now have a 89 ef sedan with a SpeedFactory build gsr by Kevin. also have all the 4 sets of Oem 15’ rims from the 90’s mint. Love the red man don’t see that up in the PNW🫡🫡🫡🫡
I hate to be that guy, but I do lots of builds and paint, but before you even brought up the paint, I noticed the paint difference, the painter didn't do a good fade with the fenders and doors, but still a clean looking car, i love it!
We had a had a pewter gray metallic 1990 civic sedan lx. I remember as a kid we had it since new in 1989 all the way till 2005 December. I was 2 when we got it and I was 16 driving it until age 18 I got a new 2005 accord coupe sapphire metallic pearl lx-se. I remember the EF as such a fun car to ride around in no matter what. It was well built but nothin fancy. It just had so much personality as a car especially to its competitors at the time. Old school Hondas just had a fun personality weather you are a driver or passenger. It gave everyone a smile and somehow feel engaged in the drive. It just gave a dash of excitement to the ownership experience each time you drove it. It was surprisingly smooth for ride quality but you felt much of the road so it was a very connected experience. It was a very true driving experience as passenger for my childhood and for my start as a driver. It was really decent for its time and just a fun vibe.
Awesome EFV🙌🏿 . I'll be 42 this year, these were the bomb when I was in middle school and high school. Ima a vw bug dude i had 12 of them since 1998 . Awesome your pops had a vw thing. I bought a 1990 EF 4 door from the OG owners in the SGV back in 2010 it was so clean a stick shift... i sold it a year later . I wish i had it still. I have an opportunity to trade my 04 tahoe for a 91 ef 4 Dr ex with a manual tranny . Im getting pumped up watching this video!
I had a 1991 civic in the same colour. It didn’t have the black trim, black mirrors and the front bumper was different. This car looks way better especially lowered and with those rims. It was manual and had no tachometer 😂😂 Zero drink holders.
I have a 90 EF hatch. The transmission blew and I had picked up a 90 Civic sedan. I didnt really like the sedan and just bought it complete with a blown motor for $100. Took the transmission and the sedan just sat there until the motor blew on my hatch i decided to strip the hatch to restore. I needed a new daily so i turned to the sedan. I fell in love with the sedan. Unfortunately totaled the sedan which i might add its not a good idea from personal experience to only rely on the automatic shoulder belt. In the event of a crash your body will slip under the belt not manually using the lap belt. Those seats are cool but should figure a way to use the lap belt too. He forgot to mention the grill between the headlights is one of the biggest changes on the JDM front end. Also i have a 98 Civic hatch and I feel the same way as if its a new car compared to my EF but the EK is old too lol.
Is that hood/grill JDM spec or something? It looks subtly different than I remember... The opening between the hood and bumper is bigger. But wow, it looks damn cool. What a ride brother. I'm now 51 years old, and happily own a 2008 Si (FG2) with a handful of minor mods that I adore... No serious HP adders, just better driver feel and feedback type stuff... Hasport engine mounts, lowered suspension (unknown brand, came with the car) Hybrid short shifter, with upgraded bushings and detent springs, Injen CAI, Invidia Q300 exhaust, and of course Hondata to round it out, as well as a nice set of RAYS 77S 18 inch ten spoke wheels and decent Michelin rubber... I plan to keep my car forever. I love it to death... But THIS car... It's the generation that got me into Hondas. Wow man, it almost brings tears to my eyes. This is an ULTRA-CLEAN example of this model. Extremely tasteful... I would be just as proud to ride in this thing, it's perfection. FUCK ALL MODERN CARS! LOL.
I've had 2 Honda's successfully stolen and one other attempt. It's one if the reasons I got away from them now that my sons getting into them I always worry it might get stolen and it would crush him😊

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed memory. We appreciate you.
First car was 91 white 4 door EF. Second 91 EF hatch and third 94 EG hatch. Nice build man!! I want to get my hand on another civic.
So dope! Chad has some amazing builds.

It's perfect the way it is
Agreed! Absolute gem.
Love this body style that rear end is so 🔥Thanks for going out your way to shoot this video and take the time out of your day to upload it 💯🤝
One of the best videos you’ve dropped

It was manual and had no tachometer 😂😂
Zero drink holders.
Yo the way you guys cut the body lines is straight up clean
Beautiful build on this sedan, and yes, the ef2 front end makes a big difference.👌🏽
Huge difference, so clean!
Great car! Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us!
Dude, what an inspiration
Had a solid 90 4dr civic @y2k, loved that little car, unfortunately totaled it (but the damn thing still drove home) 😂
Less is more . Less is more so true brotha ! ❤
For a clean and simple street car, yes!

I wanted a si Ef hatch and ended up with a 88 4dr sedan lol! Those were the days !
I would still love one of these if I could find one this clean
I still have my 89 civic dx sedan.. silver. Love it.
Awesome cars bring them back very reliable easy to maintain…..
This is exactly like my first car but it was a 90 model,had a black bumper, prelude wheels, and was a manual
we need more sedan coverages
Great Video !
He said there's too many lame civics owners outhere lol I guess you won't see sedans coverages 😂
Sooooo clean!
EF sedan! my project is almost done too. ❤
Are the fender signals in the same place for the crx ,hatch and sadan?
23:05 maybe it's a mental thing,but after y'all mentioned the front end paint I see that the color is a tad off. Or maybe its just me.
The simplify🔥🔥👌🏼👌🏼beautiful car, great video

Beautiful build ❤
Thank you! 😊
this a kanjuzoku classic
Beautiful car and nicely done ❤
Your car is amazing
The CB7 is THE best Honda chassis ever made.
I want the recaro lx confetti with the nets for my GD3 fit. I'm concerned about seat rails though
1:37 you still have parts for that?
Would love me a white EF sedan in Manual and EX model.. the Unicorn
ED45 Frost White with Type II blue interior (90-91) with the coin tray from the 88-89 and a OBD0 twin cam ZC. PERFECT.
Looks great.
bought my 4th EF today!
Great taste bro.
I had a few of these ED.
ED3 is the most slept-on truly great HONDA platforms.
I don’t like the color red, but that’s a beautiful looking car. I had a 91 Akron Tegra missed that car.

I've had 2 Honda's successfully stolen and one other attempt. It's one if the reasons I got away from them now that my sons getting into them I always worry it might get stolen and it would crush him😊
peak honda
91' is 33 years old
Depends when you are born lol
Funnily enough, my 91 LX & I share the same birth month (June). The Civic is older than me by 13 years though
Your videos are great but that camera makes your videos have really low quality and doesnt do them justice

Chad, would you share your painters Ricky’s contact info.
Would anyone share their paint and body guy.

Thanks.
Hey everyone Jesus saves accept him as your savior today and repent if you haven’t already he’s coming back soon be ready. Jesus Christ is Lord. 🎉🎉
It’s too low….ride looks hard and uncomfortable…rest is ok…but for me no.
If the ride was rough I would of mentioned it. It rides very well. Thanks for watching.
Freeek yeee
I had a 91 sedan but unfortunately I had to get rid of it because of the rust🥲
Here in Cali we do not suffer too much of rust but I can imagine. Not safe.
