Retro Honda's are Becoming so Rare! Civic 25X EF2 Review - PerformanceCars

[@benmiller9854]

I am the proud owner of a 1989 civic si. 2nd owner. I've had it for 20 years.

[@ExciteLetsPlay]

love it. 4th gen is my fav. i got this as a sedan version

[@freakyRunner]

For me the fourth generation of civics is the most beautiful. This body shape is the most beautiful of all civics. greetings from germany

[@davebrittain9216]

I have to agree with you for sure! I bought a brand new 1988 Civic SE back in the day. You probably have not heard of an 88 SE as they were only available in Canada. It has taken me the last year and a half to find one that I could buy. They are very rare.

[@kellywesley1977]

I have a 89 si hatchback that was assembled in Canada

[@olderrol1968]

best Honda Civic in my opinion. I had one back in the day. 1990 four-door silver paint job . gold wheels. slammed to the ground 1.5 liter engine. since I moved into my new house I've been finding those old windup cameras and I've been developing photos trying to find a picture of my car. I miss that car so much

[@Built_it_by-alex]

this is what i love about old school cars...very light,fun to drive and very simple and stylish,i would love to see cars like this manufactured again

[@weijenbu]

my friend just bought one recently, it was a Malaysian assembled version ED6, previous owner already did EF9 body parts conversion, it looks beautiful, it handles well and under the hood, it's been swapped out for a ZC DOHC engine, instead of the stock D15 carbuttered motor. It has very low center gravity and feels like a road-going go kart. Thumbs up for the good work of Honda engineers and designers back in the eighties

[@ryanoakey2929]

Lol just found this I actually brought this off woody last year it's an absolute joy was great to find you actually drove it and reviewed it!

[@princesssolace4337]

l bought a Daihatsu Charade Turbo instead of a Civic SiR back in 1992. A mate bought it and we had a loads of good memories racing each other around the legendary Shah Alam Motogp curcuit when Sepang was only a dream.My mom had the twin carb saloon version back in 1988.

[@mrothello7403]

My favourite shape mark 4 civic

[@daveyofyeshua]

At a glance it looks like a 90's Suzuki Swift GTi, like it!!

[@szouftz]

my favourite civic of all time!

[@Defaultdann123]

my favourite performance cars vid so far 😁👍

[@joethecollector]

clean interior/exterior!!! reminds me of my civic minus jdm goodies

[@Carl_JohnsonOGF]

Awesome little honda.

[@Kapil-Patel]

what good CJ !

[@importenthusiastchannel]

Great video!

[@manikdj123]

Reminds me of my Nissan Sunny that I had to unfortunately scrap last week :( so much character in these old school little hatches. But why would someone put a turbo timer in an n/a car??

[@CreativeBoy100]

got some rare jdm optional extras,

[@TheKevzx6r]

Cool video as always 🇯🇵👍🏼

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Thank you, glad you like them!

[@jarod2666]

When your daily is called retro xd Im only 15 and i have a red 1989 honda civic hatchback si its pretty clean not as clean as this one but looks ok probably going to paint it soon as long with a turbo to make a little more power they are just so slow and is kinda sketchy jumping over highways and such. But is a really fun car and is a great first car fun to play around in.

[@Saca560]

Performance wise this is car is more similar to my Crz than the Crz to the old Crx! 😂 Are you going to test a Crz in the future? I'm really interested in your opinion, since you are an Honda expert

[@PTR47]

He should put B20 or K20 here

[@sadakotube]

its a great beater and with a stock b20b under the hood, don't even need to rev it and it just goes on... and on... and on ...

[@touyang7158]

sadakotube theyre not stock b20 lmfao

[@sadakotube]

Tou Yang I mean stuffing in a unmodified stock b20b in it, replacing the stock single cam

[@touyang7158]

Ahh.

[@imranhussain-re2wi]

still a great looking car👌

[@imranhussain-re2wi]

would be great if you could do a review on a corolla ae82 gt.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

+imran hussain I would love to but they are getting so rare and hard to get owners to let me review it. I will keep trying.

[@imranhussain-re2wi]

PerformanceCars just want to say you always have great content in your video's,keep up the good work.

[@AlmoAdventures]

The AE82 4 door isn't to rare, however depending on where you are, the FX-16 is pretty rare.

[@Robbo1996]

You need to get your hands on the Honda Civic ee9, if no one knows what that is it's the 4g with the b16 in it.

[@goranEE9]

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. I own one and there isn't a proper review of this Honda on YT.

[@kunjeeboi]

I think you're talking about the EF9? Also knows as the EF9 SiR

[@princesssolace4337]

Use to be dime a dozen around South East Asia and when the EG was released everyone trade their SiR...these days hardly see them except on weekends and mostly driven by 40 yrs young guy ;-)

[@ishtube]

@kunjeeboi no, he is talking about ee9 which is the eu version. I do have one as well. it has the b16a1 engine with 150hp.

[@kunjeeboi]

@@ishtube Ok thanks for the clarification

[@kunjeeboi]

i have this car. it always gets a lot of attention because of how low it is.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Absolutely, when I first got into the car, I was surprised and I drive the S2000 which is a low car already. Has yours been reliable?

[@kunjeeboi]

Mine is a 1990 EF2 which is an import spec from Japan. Dual Carbs but very reliable (Drove 700KM non-stop up to Cameron Highlands, Malaysia) and economical. With a little bit of carb adjustment and DIY, you can squeeze out a little more power. www.civiclife.net/board/topic/36098-dual-carb-tuning-guide/

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Nice one, I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing this Civic, even though it was underpowered, it was heaps of fun. Glad you still have yours, I don't see them on the roads at all.

[@alhafiz1683]

I rarely see 4 gen prelude in the uk
