1985 Honda City Turbo I

[@corkeymonster]

I learnt to drive in my mum's 1983 Honda City Turbo. A minor correction: The City Turbo produced 100 bhp (75 kW); the Turbo II, which had an intercooler, produced 110 bhp (83 kW).

[@joydrive]

Haha that's so cool!! What a rad car to learn in! Yeh, some wrong information here, corrected what I know to be wrong in the description 😎

[@corkeymonster]

@@joydrive I remember it had insanely bad turbo lag (by modern standards), which made it easy to stall for a learner driver. I also remember my mum broke one of the engine mounts when she accidentally downshifted from 5th to 2nd gear (this was back in the day when most manual transmissions were 4-speeds). LOL.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

a good car even by today's standards. well done honda!

[@scharkey84]

Hi!! Greetings from Paraguay, got a Turbo 1 about 8 years ago and finally starting the restoration process. This is one of my dream cars, with the S30Z and a very rare car over here. Keep the boxys on the road!

[@joydrive]

They rad cars, there is a few in WA so they being saved :)

[@AridersLifeYT]

I had the chance to buy the mk2 bulldog but instead purchased 4 motocompos to resell. a wise investment, now im waiting for another Turbo to show up for sale before i buy.

[@joydrive]

Definitely a good choice! Motocompos will only go up in price, not by a lot, but up none the less

[@Pa3MeC]

I've got city turbo for sale in Russian federation)

[@khersy]

obsessed with these

[@joydrive]

They are so cool eh!

[@Simon78]

I had a TurboII for a while... sold it to a you guy in Sydney. He had a contact in Japan and managed to get molds from the (pretty much) last Mugab race car . He restored the car and fitted with the full Mugan race wide body (yep even wider than the stock body)... and I believe swapped a b16 with turbo in it... if any one knows if he has a KZbin or recent pics I’d like to see an update.

[@joydrive]

Fuck that sounds epic! Will see if he knows

[@kristiankleemann6963]

Absolute filth! Loved it. I’d love to be able to get myself an 80’s sports car or hatch!

[@joydrive]

Absolute best times for Japanese cars 😎

[@facundomorrone1671]

Any way I can get in touch with the owner?? I want to know how they built the wide-body so I can do something similar!

[@RossReviewsau]

Rad bro!! Loved the 80s VHS effects on the rollers 👌📸

[@joydrive]

Thanks man. Trying to improve my video skills see if more people watch 😂

Woahhh... This car seriously! nowdys car looks almost the same I wish I had this

[@joydrive]

Definitely different, tissue box on wheels 😂

[@andriusGNR]

Really amazing full of character little honda machine, so million times cooler looking than some brand new 2020 usual car . Good video 👍

[@joydrive]

100% agreed, awesome little things!

[@andriusGNR]

@@joydrive tbh I have not heard seen or known about such honda until I got little hot wheels toy car of this city turbo. I thought is it really exist ? Your video verified it , thanks 👍😂

[@joydrive]

Japan has some insane tiny cars, this was one of them 😎

[@andriusGNR]

@@joydrive yea definitely, thanks for finding one , you could come across expensive supercars in your life but one such as these I really doubt most will see anywhere, great job 👍

[@IamPJKisiel]

this has filled me with joy but also regret for ditching my Pro T 15 years ago, thank you for the upload this was great.

[@joydrive]

Ahhh sometimes our best cars are the ones that got away :(

[@vjhansen7280]

I picked up a pro t a couple months ago, dont think im ever going to let it go

[@IamPJKisiel]

@@vjhansen7280 I'm so happy for you and jelly at the same time, please do not ever let it go give it to your kids in their inheritance. Congratulations

@@IamPJKisiel if your in australia, a couple have popped up for cheap, especially in Qld, I got mine for 600 bucks, it needed some work but is almost roadworthy

@@vjhansen7280 I'm in Victoria and there were very little when I watched this KZbin video, but you have reignited my passion again lol, I thank your timing I'm gonna keep my eyes open now.

[@ryansmyth3894]

Good work, fantastic video and car.

[@joydrive]

Thank you sir!

[@jawzzo6761]

man 110 bhp in that little thing would be a riot, didnt know this car existed but now i want one. i owned a ford puma 125 bhp and weighed 1100kg and would 0-100 in about 8.5 seconds so im sure this little thing must get there alot quicker!

[@joydrive]

It's certainly surprising that's for sure, although not sure 8.5 0-100 in this is achievable, maybe too long gears ha

[@jawzzo6761]

@@joydrive ah fair play, still looks like a load of fun, respect for putting out a unique car review like this

[@ocallaghan3865]

For instance the honda city turbo is around 810 kg But a sports kei hatch for instance the subaru vivio rxr is 700kg and with 64 horsepower can do a under 9 second 0-60

[@90sgaragesix]

honda city is really cool

[@joydrive]

Sure are! Awesome classics

Well done mate Retro Vibes for days!

[@joydrive]

Thank youuuuu, glad that came off! 😎

[@AlastairSmith]

Do you know (roughly) what he paid when he bought it? Just wondering how much prices have changed from then to now

[@joydrive]

Actually not sure, we don't often talk prices unless it's super relevant like the M6 video 😅 I believe it's a tidy profit though:)

[@jasonday2007]

mega car, mega soundtrack. love the diy build. mega.

Gotta get the music on point 😎

[@Laden-vs6ks]

Such an interesting car

[@joydrive]

It most certainly is!

Plsss tell me how much horsepower does it make

[@joydrive]

Good question, maybe 80-90 😂

[@P-Bateman0]

@@joydrive is it a sport car?

[@joydrive]

Maybe in its hay day, for sure. Now it's a just a classic

Cool factor through the roof 😎

[@notimportant8120]

1.2 litre actually, awesome car and awesome video

[@joydrive]

Haha, I got so much wrong in this video, must not trust wikipedia.

[@jacobhaussmann90]

the turbo motors are 1.3 slightly bigger cc raiting

[@notimportant8120]

jacob haussmann bro I own one, the code for the engine is ER12, and if you want the exact capacity, it’s 1231cc. You can round that up if you want 😂. Ask me anything about them.

[@easydaisy120]

There's literally no maintenance videos of Honda City's on youtube.... Just the newer models. I need help! lol

[@chrissturley823]

Is it just me, or is there anybody else out there who feels cheated after hearing this guy rave about the digital speedo and the cool (functioning) digital boost gauge and then he fails to film it so we can see it? Doesn’t it seem like an opportunity missed? Come on you crazy Aussie! Film that dash IN ACTION, edit video, re-post! Showing the dash with the ignition turned off… that was just a tease.

[@joydrive]

Hahaha, sorry, filming by myself has its disadvantages, one being this 😥

[@GAMER_PUNK247]

Horsepower is all i need to know

[@joydrive]

kW for life 😎

[@hasanmichael4966]

Sorry dude, KW is a measurement of electricity. That car is not electric. 😆

[@joydrive]

What 😂 no it's not, it's a measure of power. Do research on what kW is compared to bhp and why people are slowly moving to the measurement 🙏

Got to lose the wing mirrors
