I’ve had these for a long while and finally got around to putting them on today - for your viewing pleasure rear mudflaps

got the pedals back in (no pics of everything together due to frustration lol) the the reservoir in and clutch line in and chillin. banged out the frame
for alternator clearance and should be ready to drop in sometime this weekend.

got the rear mount in also

Brand new power window regulators, wd-40 dry lube , Amazon power window wiring kit with some slight alterations for my switch locations in the armrest and removal of the third switch and good to go.

Of course the hardest bit was running the wires, almost forgot how much of a bitch it is to take fenders off.

Need a new cap and rotor, Honda dealership says a new one will be hard to find, so I'm looking at upgrades, or possibly switching to Coil-on-plug

I found this replacement, which seems to have decent reviews

There's also this upgraded cap and rotor. I think this is all I currently need, but if I go this route, the product page says I would need to upgrade the coil too

The third option is the coil-on-plug conversion

Looks cool, future-proofing, just not sure if i need all that

Anyone have any input they could share?

Thanks!

TLDR: '90 Civic D15B2, fuel injected, 4 spd auto, 35k miles. OEM distributor failed, internal shaft bearing failed (red dust of death). Ordered Cardone Remanufactured Dizzy off of Rockauto. That one failed within a week too. Is it possible to rebuild the original TD-01 dizzy by replacing the bearings and seals? The ICM, Igniter and sensors are performing fine. If a rebuild is possible, please share experiences or a link to a forum. I am located in the UAE, it isn't easy for me to source parts from scrapyards or auto stores. I exclusively rely on importing from the US or Japan.

Hey guys, this is my 1990 EF Hatch German Spec all original with 35k original miles. It has the D15B2 fuel injected engine with the 4 speed slushbox. It randomly died on the highway one day after 2 years of super reliable ownership. Turns out, the ECU wasn't getting a reading from the internal sensors in the dizzy. Opened up the dizzy to find red dust in there. Used AI to see if that meant anything and it seems to have been common problem with these back in the day with the internal shaft bearing failing.

This shaft bearing material is made of iron and with iron being magnetic, it coated the internal sensors. Unable to get any data, the ECU stopped firing fuel.

Based on opinions on here on reddit, I ordered the remanufactured Cardone dizzy and that one failed within a week too, but for a different reason. Opened up the Cardone dizzy only to see that it seems to be rebuilt to a very bushwork level of quality.

I anyway want to keep this car as OEM as possible so I wanted to do a OE dizzy rebuild. Has anybody done this before? Is it recommended or even possible? If it is possible, please share experiences. Dizzy part number is TD-01.

I do not live in the US where it's easy to order parts from Rockauto. There is nothing available for the EFs for me locally. I want to troubleshoot and do this right rather than throwing money at aftermarket dizzys that cost 300-400 usd with shipping and installation for it to only fail within a week.

Thanks!

I was doing a rear trailng arms swap and i noticed this
It does around the chassis but not through. Only outside is cracked. Is it repairable?

Spent the last couple weeks working this project . Had an mtx 8 inch subwoofer tube in the trunk ,

Took up to much space had an idea and decided to go for it.

Never worked with fiberglass before,love how it turned out . Made it so I could still go to a 10 inch if needed but the 8 sounds great in the new box .

Just recently picked up this gem of a 1990 EF Hatch.

Runs and drives, needs the typical rocker repair (yay canadia winter roads) plus some odds & ends.

I have a couple K20/24s and a D16 sitting around to play with later, but I'm just stoked to finally have my hands on one of these beautiful machines.

Time to give her a refresh, and a new lease on life.
