Thats it EF Fi Hondas are pretty bad when it comes to wiring in the engine bay.. I will be putting the battery in the boot but thats the most of it..

Plan on doing wire tucks in my EFs too but more aof a winter project alright, what you doing with the rocker cover any nice colour scheme planned?
Any chance youll be at the court sunday? |
Don't think so Paul due in work Sunday night.. I would like to get up for the March one in the EF but it still needs some stupid bits like the Paradas put on the wheels, exhaust welded etc... Are you going up?
As for the rocker cover i'm going to give it the standard black look, I love clean black covers  Do you know anywhere to get VHT Wrinkle paint, place in England do it but its working out like 30euro a can!!!!

Paul, where about did you pick up a can?
All finished!! Still some small loose ends to tie up but nothing major, has a slight miss fire and hesitation around 3000rpm but i'll get onto that soon shouldn't be a problem!

Wel bit of an update but no pictures yet!
Car is up and running and vtecing away with everything working as should! Still have to get around to putting in the Recaros, but they are already on EF rails so straight swap in
Only situation i'm in is with the powersteering.. I've no pump for it as the CRX had a manual rack so i'm in 2 minds weather or not to keep it....
Hope to get a full shoot this weekend!

If you can put up with the low ratio of the power steering rack, without the power assist you should keep it. Great for tracking!

What's the ABS like?
On the old CA Accords with ABS, i was reading that the system actually waits for a second wheel to lock before the ABS started managing the brake application.
Is it something like this? What are the brakes like, does it stop well? I'd love to have ABS.

Yea I miss my non power steering rack and pinion... I still have it, and I will get around to putting it in this 4 door at some point, but then again I was thinking about keeping my PS only because it's an EX... I dunno though!

ABS is ok nothing special really.. I only felt it ever come in once and that was on the way home from the garage the night before last and it didnt take much for it to come in. Brakes are the moment are pretty shit to be honest they need new discs and pads... But i'll be fitting vtec front hubs which use 262mm brake calipers and discs.When I get the hubs on i'll be after a set of 282mm Prelude 2.2 Vtec calipers to put on...

Yeah discs all round! All EF Si's had discs front and back..
Anyway bit a bummer went to fit my Recaros but the rails are different  Its strange because they came out of an 89 25XT Hatch, I'd have thought all EF rails would have mounted the same... Anyway guess not so i'm going to make up something now..
