Ef civic
im thinkin about getting a 88-91 civic
preferably a sedan 90+ and i have several question
-is it possible to do a 94+ integra interior conversion (doorskins?)
-what motor swap would you consider?
-How can i improve handling without making it noticable (subs in the trunk)
-What springs can offer a 3" or more drop? i wanna slam it low as possible

As for a motor swap...go with any b series. Believe it or not, the ef sedans way the same as the hatches, so ur not losing any power there. Go with a b16, as it is truly the biggest bang for your buck...or if your interested in building a motor, go with an ls/vtec..they seem to do pretty good in ef's. I dont think that 94-01 integra interior will fit on, but i do know that 90-93 integra interior will fit, and it looks mint. As for suspension, its personal choice really, but if you want amazing handling, and you want your car slammed, go with tokicos (fyi they cost around 800 dollars for a set), but if you just want to slam your car, go with coils. They ride like , but they Slammm your car to the ground.

with a 94+ dash conversion...it took him some minor work
and fitted in perfectly

the conversion would be a big headache for something that most likely turn out with poor fitment anyways. I would stick with the ef interior and if you really want to do a conversion the earlier integra dash swaps have been done and look awsome. It is an old school car so you are to expect that old school interior.
