How To Build A 1991 Honda Civic EF Sedan: High School Tribute!

Hello everyone,
On this episode we bring you Chad and his super awesome Honda Civic EF. Chad owned one of these sedans back in high school. Once he owned a few cars, he decided to revisit this awesome Honda Civic platform. Little did he know, it would become a full on resto mod car. I know you all appreciate the hard work that has gone into this wonderful build. Thank you Chad for your time. I cannot wait to come back for the Prelude you are working on. I hope you all enjoy this episode, thank you all for the continued support. #automotiveanatomy

My first honda civic I bought was a 90 ex in charcoal gray they still look good now a days nice build bro

[@seanwada2688]

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.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you for sharing that and thank you for watching, Sean.

[@asanabia]

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...

[@yadidimeanmaine]

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.

I wanted a si Ef hatch and ended up with a 88 4dr sedan lol! Those were the days !

[@alanmoncus2331]

Had a solid 90 4dr civic @y2k, loved that little car, unfortunately totaled it (but the damn thing still drove home) 😂

[@someone-gb2ec]

The most clean civic this year

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

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! 👊🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing a bit about you George. thanks for watching.

[@AnthonySmith-bq2if]

It's perfect the way it is

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Agreed! Absolute gem.

[@craigiefconcert6493]

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.

[@projectrevspec1338]

I have his black ef hatch it’s almost done lol that thing is clean too hopefully u get to see it as well.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

It would be our pleasure :)

[@twinturbo1995]

please bring it on channel

[@projectrevspec1338]

@@twinturbo1995 it’ll be up to them. I’m just working on it. Gonna test drive it in a bit . Finished up some repairs on 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.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed memory. We appreciate you.

[@scorps9398]

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!

[@crxk20r59]

I was gonna mention the difference but I didn’t wanna sound like a hater 😂

[@throughmyeyesmedia6492]

Beautiful build on this sedan, and yes, the ef2 front end makes a big difference.👌🏽

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Huge difference, so clean!

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

This is exactly like my first car but it was a 90 model,had a black bumper, prelude wheels, and was a manual

[@EmirMuhic]

Great car! Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us!

[@jonathanjones1064]

This was identical to my first car, except mine was white. Still my favorite ever car

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Great looking cars man.

[@Xp10s1ve7]

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 💯🤝

[@epgonzalez1573]

So dope! Chad has some amazing builds.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

The people have been asking for your EG Esteban :) Thank you for making this channel what it is today.

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.

[@appleguy6708]

Yo the way you guys cut the body lines is straight up clean

[@yadidimeanmaine]

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.

[@jvicente8315]

[@blue_lancer_es]

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.

[@sneakthieve]

I want the recaro lx confetti with the nets for my GD3 fit. I'm concerned about seat rails though

[@oldskool1979]

Keith Cassels let's J swap one of these

[@Perceni]

Your videos are great but that camera makes your videos have really low quality and doesnt do them justice

[@floman9385]

It’s too low….ride looks hard and uncomfortable…rest is ok…but for me no.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

If the ride was rough I would of mentioned it. It rides very well. Thanks for watching.
