TRANSFORMING A B16 SWAPPED EF CIVIC IN 10 MINS - On a Budget!

[@Robert-mu4bs]

As a 17 yr old, this is my dream car. I've been admiring the EF for around 2 years now. Its the first car I want to get and I'll be building on a budget as teen as well lol.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thats so cool! I fell in love with the ef hatch after being addicted to the Japanese Kanjo street racer videos, always dreamt of building a b series ef, with similar styling to a kanjo racer, stoked that I get to live out this dream! Civic's are perfect first cars to get into modifying cars in my opnion! All the best mate!

[@brieexy3078]

i have just brought one and im only 18 if ur from the uk they are very hard to insure iu got quoted over 6k i passed in january

[@mooomzi]

@@brieexy3078 gonna be more expensive for him as he's 17 lol

[@goforbroke2]

Damn you guys make me feel old lol, I’ve been playing with EF hatches for 20+ years. I still own two, one has a B16 in it I swapped in it some 20 years ago…..going to be pulling that motor and putting in a K24a2. I used to race mine when I was a broke college kid, doing autox. It really is a GREAT platform to build on. In the states(America) clean ones are hard to find and the parts are even more difficult to source.

[@KingIbanazzi]

I black out drunk threw up in a early EF at your age, best night ever. These cars always bring great memories! Good luck kid!!

[@suspeh]

I am excited by the simplicity of appreciating and being proud of a 30yo car, I share that emotion and affection too. This is the content that really counts on social media, congrats

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Really appreciate the comment mate thanks a lot !

[@RobinVaessen]

Ef + B series = Epic

[@alijebraan501]

its so cool you designed and made your own exhaust

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thank you so much! Although its not the best work, I learnt heaps making it and love the way it sounds!😄

[@Kapil-Patel]

Top class as always mate, loving the progress on the civic. Looking forward to seeing the bodywork get restored on this gem. Keep at it 👍🏽

[@zerostarsafety1896]

thank you bro! I cant wait too, i've been talking bout doing it for too long just need to crack on with it 🤣

[@mal3762]

I'd do anything to find one in this condition. This clean of a condition is getting very much harder to find. You're a lucky one!

[@zerostarsafety1896]

cheers man, yeah it started off nana spec so has been super fun to build up into my dream ef, but she definitely needs some bodywork!

[@danepaulsen367]

Nice selection of upgrades, it really transformed the car but get some lower profile tyres, those 195/60/15 are way to bulky for a EF. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@ef_danielsan]

the "H" emblem on your steering wheel pops out so you can access the 19mm nut without taking off the steering column clam shell or anything from behind. Use a small pick and the square just pops off.

[@rebuildbetter]

Started out with an '89 DX as my first car and it was wrecked. So I purchased an EF9 front end from HMO and got it back on the road. A Gen 1 B16A followed along with an Invidia exhaust and a JDM gauge cluster as well. Tein RA's went on following that along with some HX wheels. Sure was a fun car. Motorcycle with four wheels, ha!

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Awesome mate! genuinely doesn't get better in my opinion (except for maybe a turbo 😅)

[@vibinsister788]

Great vid bro! Your an inspiration to me and all the other young car enthusiasts who don't have that much money. Can't wait to see more content from this channel. Much love

I love the Charge Speed spoiler on the ef chassis Thats what made me fall in love Hope you change the stock spoiler too and I would say the car could be finished

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Fully agree mate! a spoiler is in the works😉

[@oyazgaming]

Down to earth build.

[@davidbeverly3463]

Man I miss mine that was exact same but had B18a1 😢 I've always regretted selling it! I bought it back in 2002 when I was 18yrs old and blew up 4/5 Sohc motors running the piss out of em vs muscle cars but I owned it for 14/15yrs and I'm 40 now and want it back desperately 😢😢

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Woah that's soo cool, I get comments like these all the time! People who used to own one then sold it and have regretted it forever... Makes me even more motivated to make this a forever car for me 🙂

[@wilsunmenor1373]

Looks like your Civic body was from an 88-89 DX (no moonroof). Si’s came with moonroof as standard feature. Front and rear EF bumpers, side mouldings and markers were installed afterwards. Still a great car for swapping body parts and motors. I have an Si that I bought brand new on Dec. 1988. Latest motor swap: 97 B18C JDM ITR. Car is still in the garage.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

hey mate maybe in america the si's came with a moonroof, this is an ef3... a jap import to nz so came stock standard without one and of course all the japanese parts!

[@TURTL31979]

Nicely done 👍 does look good . Had a 98 red hatch dx and she was my baby. Sadly shes gone but I'm definitely going to be getting anorher on . Nice video on your ride. Keep going 😁

[@zerostarsafety1896]

thank you mate, what a shame you sold her! Hope you get back into the old hondas one day :)

[@TURTL31979]

Thanks for the reply.....but yes I'll be getting a Honda Civic soon. I want a 91 . Got big plans . 😉

All my Honda’s have to be 100% complete so no rear wiper is driving me nuts!! Nice car, I love the bronze TE37’s.

Looking great bro. You might want to get those front ball joints and tie rods changed. They’re looking pretty worn. Car will feel and handle much better after. Trust me.

good spotting my bro! I've known about them for a while, but it's helpful to know it'll improve the car so much handling-wise. definitely on the to-do list! thank you!

Try to find the plastic spark plug wires cover and make it look more OEM...it is a little detail that makes a lot

thank you! I absolutely love driving it, it's very raw. I used an obd0 b16 factory ecu cant quite remember the numbers off the top of my head.

Gotcha - they're pretty hard to come by over here in the states so I think most people try to get them from an EM1 or Del Sol. Enjoy it!@@zerostarsafety1896

Car came out great. The only thing I would suggest is changing the shifter bushings looks like too much play. Other then that 👌🏽
