Well, I got a "new" old car. It is a 1991 Honda Civic Si. I sold it to my friend three years ago and it sat in the same spot I left it for three years. Needless to say it now needs a lot of work. I sold it to him for $2300 and bought it back for $500. Not bad for me I guess. I took some before and after pics and what a difference. This car was in the same condition my BMW is and now I got my work cut out for me :)


67,xxx miles on the clock to, so not that bad :)

All I can say is that I regret selling the car to him. He bought it to learn how to drive stick and never did. A waste of money for him to buy it. But whatever, parts a really plentiful for it :)

Right now, to clean it up, fix the interior and get it running correctly. It drinks gas by the barrel.

Then maybe drop a better motor into it. My friend dropped a GSR motor in his and I was thinking along the lines of that :)

It is, but the carpet need to be replace, the sunroof leaked when he had it and messed the carpet up. So if anyone has black carpet that is in decent condition for this type of Civic, hit me up. I'm not sure if it is EF or ED. I think it is EF. Havn't been around the Honda scene in 3 years :(

ACTUALLY, it is an ED. EF is the chassis code that body style is in Japan, and what it is commonly referred to in the US by the tuning world. To know what it actually is, the beginning of the vin should be JHMED_. The _ represents a number for the chassis code I.E. the start of the Vin on my 88 CRX Si is JHMED9, therefor the true chassis code for my CRX is an ED9. There is no EF in the US.
