I get a bonus in august, and want to now what upgrades I can do to my 94 EX befor I swap in a new motor...? I was thinking:

4 New tires
Oil Change SOON aprox. (13th Dec.)
Replace Fuel Filter

(1). Suspension:
Eibach Proline Kit (Lowering Springs)
Eibach Adjustable Shocks
Eibach Front and Rear Sway Bar

 

gather up replacment parts for the engine that u'r about to get.. such as Water Pump, new clutch, ect.

Get stuff like vacume line & what not so that u dont' have to search for vacume leaks after the thing is in u'r car.. do it while it's out.. much much easier!

 

Clean the engine bay.

 

Already done, its very very clean.... There is never any dust or dirt on my car..... (even in the wheel wells or engine bay.)

 

I would focus on the engine while you have it out. Clutch like Running925 said. The clutch will be the most tedious thing after install if you wait. maybe a slip dif or no slip. Depending on what kind of engine your putting in. The other stuff can wait(as far as internal, they can be replaced while still in the car. and since your going to have the head off why not get that damned thing p&P

 

I agree that suspension modifications are great to tide you over while you're waiting for more power. I'd like to make a few suggestions though... eibach springs are top-notch in terms of quality and reliability, but I haven't heard much about their shocks. If you're looking for an adjustable shock setup there are probably a few that'll prove more capable and reliable than Eibach (koni, kyb and tokico come to mind). Also, although eibach sway bars are good quality, they wont do much to alter the cornering attitude of your car. At (I believe) 24mm front/19mm rear, you'll retain the same understeer-prone handling balance as stock, just with a reduced amount of body-roll (which in itself isn't really important). I'd suggest going with a combination of Honda OEM sway bars instead. In order to significantly reduce understeer, the ITR rear bar is probably your best option, and given the springs you're planning to use, probably a 21mm Si (5th gen) front.

 

Ok, thanks, I needed some input on that, I know the shocks are not that great, And I wanted to get some adjustable tokico shocks.

 

I would have to follow suit. I am a firm believer in building from the ground up. Literally. Meaning, tires, suspension, brakes, and any other smaller tweaks you may need. THEN once you've taken care of that......go to the engine bay for your power

Just my thoughts

 

Did you notice the thread is now a month old? I want to know the dynamics behind going a month back and finding a thread to post in... is it a result of searching? :thinking:
