Pre-88 Civics

Have you seen any 3rd gen civics anywhere? Or any before that? I can barely remember what they look like!

3rd gens look alot like 4th gens except different. Before that theyre wierd looking. There are a few OLD civics around by my house and one is sitting outside the junkyard right now. Theres a 1st gen crx around here thats got a body kit and a hood scoop and is yellow. Theyre around just not interesting and slow.

yeh...plus everything is fuel injected now

yeah I see 2nd gens every now and then, 3rd gens every now and then too, Cant recall seeing a 1st gen in this area.

i see alot of the 3rd gen civics and 1st gen crx's in the lehigh valley, pa area. my friend has an 85 crx si.....he just got a brand new black paint job and his interior is mint. his engine only has 70k miles on it and it runs sweet. they're so quick. take the power to weight ratio into consideration.

I love the 3G Civics - especially the JDM Si with ZC. Most recent one I saw was ALLMTR's Aussie 12 second beast running a toda-powered CRVTEC motor. But the maniac has sold that to finance his K20 powered first gen Civic!

I see them sometimes. The 3g civics are even more square-ish (if you can believe that) and they have flip open sorta lights in front, carburated, etc... I really don't know the difference between 3g and 2g so I could have em' mixed up too. I've seen some 1st gens too... not too often though. I saw one at the 1/8 track once stripped with a Chevy 305 in it with a big bottle of juice in the hatch... can't remember times but it was super quick and everybody thought he was going to flip it cuz it had no drag bars or nothing.

i hate them except the 1.5 GT is ok i suppose, would never buy one though i dont think , i hate EG's more though,

theres a shop here that has a 3rd gen, 86 I believe, sitting behind it. Some guy droped it off to get it fixed and never came and picked it back up. The front of them is ok, the hatch is almost vertical though

i jumpstarted a 73 accord the other day.

1st gen crx with a b16a swap can hit high high 13s to low 14s! :eek:

I saw a (looked early 80's) 2 door accord hatch today at the hardware store, I didnt even know they made a 2 door hatch accord.

Yah, the mid-late eighties 2 door accord hatch looked almost like an AE86 (Toyota Trueno/Corolla hatch). I like the early eighties models cuz they had sorta rounded off edges... before they started the whole flip open lights thing... never liked that...

I liked the flip lights on the 4WS 'ludes... 3rd gen I think. My fiancee has a 3G Accord with the flip lights - looks cool too :)

When I first saw one, I couldn't believe my eyes that they actually exsisted. They're really sweet lookin but the fact that there rare is hard.

And there a good amount of 3rd gens running around here, and a few 1g crx's. But you know what really sucks is that one of my friends has a 4 door dx 3rd gen and I followed him to school the other day. Even though it was carburated, I could barely keep up with him. A 3rd gen was faster than my 4 gen. I really need to upgrade my engine, It's sad when you think about it.

There are quiet a few 4th gens that have been converted to use webber side draft carbs, pretty damn good setup when its all tuned out right.
