Lovely Civic, always wanted a hatchback bit as you say they are rare and a lot of remains ones seem to be auto. Great review John keep them coming. Happy new year.
Thanks for this review Sir I always love 5th Gen Coupe content. I own one that was manual from factory... had a JDM D15B VTEC swapped into it but now has a JDM B18B swap (Twin Cam 16 Valve 1.8 Liter Non VTEC) with Integra GSR/ SIR G manual Transmission. The low end Torque is very fun since it alows enjoyment at very low speed and low RPM. Thats different from the Norm for older Hondas but I like having that different experience. Are you Guys able to get custom number plate number designs in Ireland, I thought you all had the same number design as England does. This car has numbers that are shaped different than the usual.
Usually the aftermarket steering wheel is smaller and makes for sharper turning, the steering speed is faster since the circumference is smaller. Not sure if that helps with Women but maybe your talking about the custom Fast a Furious era Mods for looks without function.
I ise to make fun of them when in highschool at the Civic boys cause they was wanting to be like out of the movie fast and furious 1,2& tokyo drift. I did grow up racing asphalt oval track cars and tbh my first oval track car was a 92 chevy caviler and it would put run all the 90s civics and this was backnin 03 and saturns the 2 door ones fron 90s also kileed the covics power wise and habdeling wise but now all you see is integras civics and corollas camrys and mazdas for that 4 cylinder fwd class. I race rear wheel drive 800 hp latemodels now. But in ealry 2000s i had 3 civics for oval racing, cavilers and 2 saturns i went through in the 3 years i raced thst class and now i wosh i jad t gutted out and ruined the hatch back and coupe civics i had cause they was in mint condition before we built them into racecars. We was supposed to be stock and no motor mods but we did head work and tuned them and would do motor swaps ect cause some motors from other cars are the same motor for like the caviler but they made them a little faster and just tons of little stuff we did and on the dyno my civic made 210 fwhp which was nuts but nevwr got disqualified gor cheating jist a really well built motor and read betwen the lines of the rules wish i had those 3 civics bow as street/track day cars. They are now very cheap to mod and build the motor and make tons of power for cheap prices. If you want a cheap Honda civic with a manual transmission just buy you a automatic since those are cheaper and nobody wants them and easier to find unmolested cause nobody wanted to mod a automatic honda civic or something similar to it like jntegras back then cause they was slow and expensive back in late 90s to early 2000s to swap from auto to manual. Now you just buy a auto and swap it to manual and boom manual trans civic wery easy to do. We use to turn autos into manuals all the. Time when i was 10 racing fwd 4 cylinder class back in 2002 -2005.

And trust me you can also use different trans between covics and integras and they will bolt up to each other and make more lower rpm torque and different gear ratios ect. Even the 90s saturns will out run a stock 90s honda civic all day long so those are over looked cars and very cheap to pick up a nice one thats two door and manual for very cheap and they have tons of mods and tunes and aftermarket parts for those as well
90 s toyotas much better. Have afrench built yaris cross. Metal very thin, bonnet strut and where to clamp it extrejeky cheap. Wekding around boot area looks cheap. Driver’s door card now showing lots and lots of wear after 12,000. Miles. Have a 110, ooo miles 308 drivers door card shows no wear. Cheap plastics in some areas - cheaper than a 10 year old 308. Ca4 reviews fwil to mention tbese bits.
90s hondas are great!!! Nice video.

Keep up the good work 👍🏾🇺🇸🔰🏎️
Tail light lenses don't look original ?
They’re not, I think those were called 50:50 taillights. I remember first seeing them on civics +/- 20 years ago.
Rev counter doesn’t seem to be original either, seeing as it goes to 9
Love the coupes and the fact they were only made in USA/canda is rare
Wow. Very clean example
