Hardly See Them: 1985 Honda Civic Si Hatchback

[@99Lezard99]

I am sick of seeing VW's and Audis. But im from germany so i cant escape these things.

[@nakazul1]

99Lezard99 There a pest in Sweden to. Oh how i loath them. I never liked the lines of any new German drawn car...well maybe the new Sciroccos, but they look like old cool Hondas so...

[@mypinis]

Yeah sick of seeing modern cars, love old clean cars so much class and character.

[@Jake-st2qj]

I'm the best. That’s so true new cars are just ugly and ehh looking not the same as old and will never be the same as the old legends. Old as way more character and just classics, new nope because there they didn’t do anything as good as old did in the past.

[@ct9827]

My dad bought a si 85 Civic home in 1985 he was so proud he was a young 44 it was a five speed stick DOHC and a quick little car he could carry his golf clubs in the hatchback ice cold AC B12 he owns a few cars now at age 72 but still takes that little gem out for a round of eighteen holes and it never ages except for the paint what a great year for Honda.

[@dominikhofmann603]

The Mugen wheels are a perfect match for this car, love it!

[@andrewsmyth8615]

Argh! Can never see enough old Nissan/Datsuns! Keep 'em coming.

[@67tomcat]

This is why I love WasabiCars- this is just awesome- thank you. More Honda's please, and more "stock" cars too. I'm sick of seeing "modified" cars which border on vulgar, and here in the States, I'm pretty much fed up with most cross-overs.

[@Lee78072]

The Design of this Car actually still looks very modern

[@LegionOfWeirdos]

I LOVE that orange Isuzu. Those Civics were common as dirt here in the States back in the day... hardly see them around anymore.

[@pilgrum0]

had one in the 90s miss it haven't seen one since.

[@Big_Ben1988]

Everybody flaunting their 100k dollar luxury and exotic cars. This car from 1985 will outlive them all 10 times over.

Never will I be sick of seeing cars from japan, in Japan! This is how I travel.

[@Lancia444]

I had one of these in green - I had so much fun, it was simple - easy to get around - light and fuel efficient. Great car, would own another one if I could!

[@johnmorrow7080]

Bought a 1989 civic estate right off for the wife years ago , front end bump needed a bonnet and headlights 2 - 4 and estate have different bonnets and lights they look the same , ended up cutting the frame off the bonnet hammered them straight welding both back together and bodging the lights in to make them fit .

[@ncboy64]

Love the Si! Identical to mine back in the U.S. but mine was victim of a theft....not just once but twice. Never got it back after the second one. Back then they were highly desirable. I still miss it.

[@wasabicars]

Damn. That sucks. Some people are scum

[@pizzadude2786]

This is so nostalgic for me I used to have a g3 si imoprt with the same wheels and everything. Miss that thing so much. The thing I hate seeing the most would be commodores with chev badges.

[@J3Fox00]

Certainly a unicorn Honda. One of the rarest and one of my personal favorite bodystyles of the Civic! It would be perfect with those Mugen rims, a small front & rear spoiler, and a B16 swap!

[@jasoncarpp7742]

G'day Dan'l. Sweet looking Honda Civic Si. I remember this gen Civic. I love the first three gens for the Civic. :)

[@charisalfan5100]

im glad to see a clean 3rd gen civic. i believe japanese also call this car as wonder civic like in my country due to "what a wonderful world" song played in its tv advertisement

[@phazttraxx1980]

Living in Southern California, the car scene is pretty diverse. Where else can you find a KP61 Starlet 4AGE swap sit next to a Fox Body Mustang? Funny thing, I'm tired of seeing Ford Focus RS/ STs. The car has become the go to for D-bags jarheads and jocks. Sad😢

[@phoenixrising7047]

5FTE hi boost=pretty good.

[@dquad]

My brother once had a matte black sedan. A wheel fell off on the motorway and that was game over for the car.

[@adamlemus7585]

Car's I'm sick of seeing? Pretty much anything with a GM LS swap. Especially when it's something like FD RX7 Also anything with a Toyota 2JZ swap.

[@phazttraxx1980]

Adam Lemus I concur

[@adamlemus7585]

Rajiv Raj The make good power but some cars I just don't get it. Like I have seen multiple 350 and 370z with 2JZ swaps an with what you spend on the motor, ecu, wiring, body mods, and all the hardware and mounts you could get the same power out of the VQ. Some cars I get it but others with good engines that can make power for days for the same price? That i don't get

[@phoenixrising7047]

You obviously get around like I do - I wholeheartedly agree. Americans? Soon it will be Barras. These Civics are actually really agile and the engines are pretty torquey and like to rev: my mates gf used to have one and we took it out a few times and were quite impressed with how a car of this age drove. A lot faster in the real world than you'd suspect.

[@dvtc8u]

agrred but, tbh theres just as much honda swaps and sr20 swaps. but i never get sick of anything honda related lol.

[@MrsHealyM]

Those wheels are special

[@stivenestreet6841]

I have such a car. My car is a Honda Civic 3rd generation from 1985. 101 horses, hatchback, white model and has 113,000 km. Automatic.

[@wasabicars]

Oh! Very nice :)

[@stivenestreet6841]

@@wasabicars Thank you!

[@Moparnoski]

Thank you for making that mate 👍, nice to see an older girl like that even on a video. We don't have a whole lot of Honda here other than your standard eg/ek/Integra. Qotd: I'm sick of seeing other Honda Civic hahaha, I own a 06 civic and all I see now is 06-11 civics everywhere.

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Request of the day... let's see some space deck trucks.

[@banpeinet]

That's a very beautiful and original Si! I don't see these often either. There is one somewhere in my hometown and I still need to cover that one. I see have the same struggles as I do: back to work and too swamped in work to make videos. I literally have a terrabyte of video waiting, but simply no time to do something with it! QOTD: I'm sick and tired of seeing the new Peugeot 308 station wagon... It is everywhere! It is like everyone in the netherlands drives one! :o

[@azimaz5483]

Very original Car. They badass once fixed up nicely

[@zhemin]

EF civic si hatch was the most common old JDm sports car in Tokyo, closely follow by 350z and S13/14 silvia.

[@ajrobinson6677]

[@modelmaster79]

Those wheels are sick!

[@wasabicars]

Mugen MF-48's!

[@pebblez_]

Rare ass mugen wheels.sick of seeing? JDM with GM swap thats what im sick of seeing

[@44ham9]

LS SWAP THE WORLD

[@garrisonmcervale3626]

90's Toyota Camry's and 90's-00's Mitsubishi Magna's...see them everywhere! Plain and boring old family sedans...I guess they are a testament to the build quality though

[@muzza1967]

r33 \ r34 nissan gtr's and s180's/silvia's, can appreciate they are good cars with great engines, but i've have enough of these cars to do me for a while. i like the quirky and rare japanese cars and also sports cars such as honda s600, dato's fairladies, toyota s2000's & isuzu 117 coupe. that's what floats my boat.

[@15p]

Nice Video i would like to see a suzuki swift GTI again or it,s call Cultus.

[@phoenixrising7047]

Wasnt that 4wd the Cultus?

[@nakazul1]

Through years of love to JDM cars, other car brands have made me move over even more to only JDM cars. If its not a Japanese cars i just dont notice them. And i now live where all you see is American muscle cars in all ages, its a freaking american muscle car parked outside almost every house in the summer, mixed with smaller doses of Volvos and german cars. And in the winter is german cars with and Volvos ... so im sick of not seeing so many Japanese cars. I have one small grace that Subaru have a little stronghold where i moved so i got my self a Outback 3.0 R, but my heart still beats for Nissans. They most of the tines have the shapes that wins my heart. I dont know, they must have had good engineer's that knew how to draw pretty cars. Silvia's will always be with me, untill they force my SR20DET's out of my hands so i will have to convert it to a elektronik car...because Silvias various shapes is best looking, and a reason to get up in the morning. So...a long winded mumbling from me, but as summer is having some nails left to keep the old American cars outside before winter hibernation, i guess i am so sick of seeing them and hearing them talk there talk how superior they are.

[@carlm8821]

What cars are we sick of seeing?? Great question....well here in the US, for me personally, I'm ABSOLUTELY sick and tired of seeing EG/EK Civics and 3rd/4th gen Integras! You mention lack of variety... well here it's indeed lack of imagination and individuality when it comes to Honda tuners and Japanese cars in general! Another example...Lancer EVO's, why aren't anyone doing Galant VR-4's? STI/WRX, well what about Legacy GT's, Celica GT4's and AllTracs, and the list goes on and on! Definitely lack of imagination with the younger crowds for sure! Thanks for featuring this clean EA hatch, you'll see these in the wreckers before you see one turning heads at meets here 😢😢

[@itsmoneyoverbitches]

This was my first car i paid 400 in Puerto Rico and she smoked so bad because the rings were burned out i would have to put a quart of oil every 2 days because it would burn it up it was a stick i loved that car i even rebuilt the engine and it ran i was only 16 i did everything by the book i wish it had that engine though the original motor has so many vacuum hoses its not funny it was a carburated motor i bet it runs great with that motor

[@CrustyOldFridge410]

Ford Falcon AU and BA series and Holden Commodore VR - VS. there so common around my area.

[@ronald6756]

QOTD: Nissan X-trails, man i see at least 4 every time i go out for a drive hahaha very nice Honda!

[@skippster86]

Civic has the brown top ZC engine, shared a lot from the integra released at the time. EA-T is the chassis code (like EK/EG) MUGEN and SPOON raced versions of these in Japan. Superstreet did the feature on the SPOON version. It had insane camber, gutted interior.

[@wasabicars]

Thank for for the info.Very much appreciated.

[@BullRunRoad30]

I miss that generation Civic hatchback. So much better looking than the current model. I test drove one back in the day! Regarding the question of the day, I would have to say full size 4x4 pickups with lift kits. Just not my cup of tea.

[@samkwant4050]

BullRunRoad30 just to put it into perspective, I own a 1.3 version of this gen civic which weighs 815kg empty, the latest civic is around 1400kg, which is about the weight of a classic mini on top of my civic...

[@azimaz5483]

Better performance and quality on older cars then newer ones

[@artoodiitoo]

That is the D-series ZC DOHC engine in the Civic, (also in the other one, judging by the hood bulge that is there to make room for the cams). Easy way to spot them even without opening the bonnet, well if they came stock with it :> I have the same in my CRX, they were the top factory option outside the US before the B16 VTEC engine. There was no Civic SIR of that age that I´ve heard of, didn´t even have the SIR engine at that time.

[@wasabicars]

Awesome! Thank you for all that information :)

[@artoodiitoo]

@@wasabicars Also, If you see late 80s and early 90s Civics or CRXs where the whole middle part of the bonnet is raised instead of lowered like usual, that is the stock bonnet for the VTEC engines, they had to make even more room for those :D

[@dawge30]

QOTD: what am I sick of seeing? Hmm... Mustangs and Camaros. I do like Camaros, but I see them at EVERY car show. There is more out there... That being said, I will be going to a VW show and possibly an old airplane show. Plus, the first weekend in October is the English car show. As always, great video.

I'm kinda sick of seeing riced out cars and sick of some people saying plain stock classics look ugly and crap well that's their problem not mine and love the old classics how there just bone stock.

[@wasabicars]

Nice. I do agree, Patrick.

[@Jake-st2qj]

WasabiCars ya like I only like Japanese cars either bone stock or stock but with nice custom rims like bbs rs rims or konig rewinds.

[@pagano126]

There's a Crx here in Melbourne I've seen for sale. It is the Si model and has the same Mugen wheels but I believe it's a not complied. Race rally use only! :(

[@wasabicars]

Oh

[@dirtydsrc]

240 SX don't hate the car. But about as exiting as seeing another Mustang or Camaro.

[@RobertOlddude]

Hmm, I can't say I'm sick of seeing a particular car...but here in Ontario, Canada, I see far too many people driving their cars at night with the headlights off. The daytime running lights are on of course, but that only gives you low power high beams. No parking lights...the back of the vehicle is nothing but darkness. Partly to blame is instrument clusters that are always illuminated, so if no one tells them, because the light from the high beams at low power gives them enough to see by, they drive alone oblivious to anyone else trying to get their attention...I see this multiple times on the highway each time I happen to be on it in the evening. Umm...yeah...you could say that feeling sick doesn't quite describe this particular feeling. Oh well, life goes on.

The last kanji reads "kyoukai" which means association, or organization. So they would be members of, "the piece of junk car society." ポンコツ自動車協会 Pretty funny. I would love to see an 88 Accord Hatchback LXI again. As for something I am sick of seeing, that would be the Toyota Prius.

[@trebor1973j]

The same engine was in my 1985 Integra

[@justmechanicthings]

I'm sick of seeing hondas, Just Kidding! I can relate to the scene with the lady opening the hood, i had this chick at work telling me she needed a new crank sensor because her car was running rough (the car still started and ran) after heavily suggesting that this wasn't the problem she still wanted to replace it based on a computer code, so I just allowed her to get on with it without manslpaining. Her car running problems still remained.

I have the opportunity to buy a 1.5 GT 1985 with 75.000km for 350€. The was beautifully restored, but then the front window cracked and its being sitting in the elements for 2 years. Do you think it's worth it?

[@ogsk8ermocc]

I really miss my old 87 Civic hatch. :( Back then, I got laughed at for doing an engine swap (ZC with 40mm Dual Weber Side-draft carbs, header, exhaust, etc..)

1.6 Liter ZC engine. As far as I know, (probably a bigger Honda nut than me can assist or just slam me) it was a DOHC head, but the block was the same as the SOHC engines. I'm tired of seeing worn out missile car builds. Not even the missiles of Ebisu... they became missiles for a reason, but the people that purposefully make cars into missiles. It's ok to be a poor drifter, but have SOME pride.
