EFJ's 4th Gen 'Rags to Riches'

Post by EFJ » Wed Oct 05, 2016 10:24 pm

Ok this is my official thread for my car. I already introduced my self but will just refresh all my info in here.

My name is Eduardo and I live in South Africa. I own a 1994 red 4g prelude which I have for about 5 years. So far it is mostly standard except for the engine been changed from a f22a to a JDM f22b DOHC. Thats it for now. I will give more detail and I will post pics as soon as I have some time (work is a schlep but it pays the bills). Cheers for now.

Yeah paint does need a bit of a rebuff but not bad at all. As for the motor it was a f22a SOHC but didn't last, so I replaced it with a JDM F22B DOHC motor. I will be turboing (bolt on kit) in next year some time hopefully. My main goal now is to get the suspension sorted and aesthetically to my liking.

good plan - the F22 is a decent motor in its own right - normally found in a B8A chassis.
you can post some pics up :)

Hahaha I will post pics tonight when I get home. I agree the f22 motors are strong motors, its not a h22 but will do for what I want.

And just started in the boot with some sound insulation as I am busy with a custom sound install. Once I am done then I will finish off the cab area.

Thanks. Still busy with it but it does make a difference. I knock against the exposed panels and the covered panels and it really does what it should. Will post more pics as I go along.
