[slammedcivicsi]

i didnt think there was a SE for the JDM Civic.

WHAT A FUCKEN JOKE!!!!
Thats false advertising if ever I saw it.

The special edition models of the Civic were all D15 powered. That is 1500cc SOHC Carberated.
However most of them used the 91 or face lifted body shape, which has the same bonnet as the SiR. (differnt bumber however)
The rear lights are the same, but thats it. That center panel is worth NOTHING. Infact the wreckers here would almost give them away.

A real EF9 center panel has VTEC printed under the CIVIC. and only the EF9 has that.


There is absolutly nothing "Special" about those tails, and they are certianly not "rare"

That guys a dumbass

The Corners lights Are amber unlike usdm are Red

USDM has amber corners also!! This guy needs to learn his shit.

[Setanta]

ROTFLMAO

Gee - if you but into that, then you deserve the word "special" to be on your car

I really don't mean to be rude - but c'mon, some people would buy anything at the merest hint of it *possibly* being JDM

*snicker*

Uh-oh - hope I'm not going to get told off again because I don't know what JDM is

Ummm... you have a EE9/EF9 front end? Good stuff Bracer drives an EE9 VTi Civic

Ummm... bracer - I hate to say it but the link you put up - that's a ED9 CRX, not an EF7 It says ED9 clearly at the top of the page

ED is not JDM, it's Asia/Pacific (our Civics/CRXs have the ED VIN code too), but not Japan. ED is the designation for a Honda not made for the Japanese market (this is an educated guess, as ED spec cars seem to be everwhere but Japan).

Is it just me - or does the text on the brochure look Chinese, not Japanese - now I'm wondering if EDs did come out in Japan. Time to do a quick check I think.

But damn it looks nice

[ci5ic]

Thats a wicked nice rex.

[Setanta]

Just did a quick check:

The hyper dual-carb 1.5 CRX is a E-EF6.
CRX Si is a E-EF7
CRX SiR is a E-EF8

Civic line-up:
Si Extra: E-EF3
Si: E-EF3
25X: E-EF2
25R: E-EF2
23L: E-EF1
23U: E-EF1
SiR: E-EF9
SiRII: E-EF9

All run the EF designation. Of note - Singapore and a few other countries in Asia got the SiR and Si Civic/CRX - but they wern't manufactured in Japan and carried the ED designation from what I'm lead to believe (via my Mechanic who worked for Honda in Asia - unconfirmed though).

Educated guess - and it's only a guess... that ED9 is a Asian CRX, but not JDM.

man, for the cost of shipping alone($60!!) i could buy me some ol' USDM Si great condition taillights!

Oh ya, read my signature! :smoka:

Err umm, well actually the Pre-Facelift EF3 Si does exist in a "Special Edition" for what its worth, I have no idea what is special about it, but I have seen a couple of them around. Its usually things like a leather wrapped steering wheel and different interior trim, sunroof, blah blah, but like Moppie has said there is nothing 'special' about the lights, its the car they came from.

Sorry but that is a JDM CRX EF7 Si Exclusve, I have no idea what the Japanese were thinking, but up close that tan interior is totally :apuke: maybe its just my opinion but I absolutely hate it. It was also only in the pre facelift era so most Japanese specifications sources won't list it any more.
I have seen about 2 or 3 of them here in NZ, and was totally shocked at the interior, sorry it just doesn't do it for me.
