Both are strong. Siad it use to leak oil, but that was easily fixed by new gasket set. now it hold oil and does not burn. Man, to haev a hatch that doesn't burn oil will be NICE! lol. Old hatch made me like james bond. If i hit the gas hard - smoke screen. lol.
The headliner looks like.... crap. I'm going to have to take it down and give it a good cleaning. Might just replace the plastic housing around the light on the roof. It is NASTY.

take a lesson learned the hard way by me! change all suspension components! all the ones on my ef i had seemed to be as old as the car. so when i got my swap done it wasnt long before i was working on that.

rear disc swap?
Integra center console?
partial tuck?
40-40 valve for rear disc swap

Yeah, I am planning on inspecting and changing a lot of the suspension. I know how bad bushings get in the 'ol EF's.

Already know of a place with the rear disc and 40-40 valve and console. =) I'll work the tuck when I swap out for a zc. Also going to upgrade headlights to 9005, move bat. to trunk, and to go with the new brake setup the Integra master cylinder and brake booster. =) Oh, and as said before, the EF9 front bumper and rims.

Well, you need the trailing arm with all parts attached, INCLUDING the e-brake cable. You need stainless steel braided brake lines. The 90-93 Integra 4040 bake proportioning valve and Integra 15/16 master cylinder and booster are not required for the swap, but its a really really smart idea. I'm including those in my swap.
