Exclamation Rare JDM 1987 Civic Si Sedan (yes 87)

FINALLY!
I imported my 87 Civic Si Sedan, in a RARE JDM off-white called Taupe. I paid a lot for this car, $700 in hard earned beer money. It handles like its falling off a cliff (touring suspension option), and brakes like a 10tonne truck (rare JDM single-channel non-abs 8.3" non-vented rotors - try finding those)

I also opted for the rare JDM red-valve cover for this 98hp OHV beast. Boasting a whopping 5800 rpm redline, ultra long gear ratios, 200cfm carb (weber), and a NON-limited slip front end (very rare, 4,492,292 of 4,492,293 made!)

It's gonna get me through for a long time. Tires are standard JDM Si fare: 195/70R14 ultra-rare nobrand tires.(one winter, one summer, one all season and one bald) They did this because the car has four user-selectable "moods". One is for racing, one for winter, and one for normal, and one for touring.

Don't be jealous guys, I have a rough time already trying to get around town without having someone point and stare at me... or follow me... or laugh (because they're jealous or envious).

PICS:


ULTRA rare JDM valve cover


Enjoy!

Whoa!! I can't believe you got an ACTUAL JDM car... I've only seen real JDM stuff on ebay, and that was too pricey for me... amazing!!!!! How the hell did you import that to Canada?

^ Dude, it took a lot of negotiating with the Japanese government to allow this 98hp JDM monster to come ashore. This is the real JDM deal, guys/girls. First hand, real JDM components with its brute raw power.

I get many thumbs up where ever I go (sometimes three at a time!!11!)

Hopefully this POS lasts me until Spring!

^ You must not see the car everybody else see's. I see a Honda. Where did you get a Mercury from? IT looks nothing like a Mercury.

Um... is it just me or does that car have a mercury emblem in the front. AND doesn't that so-called "JDM" car have an American Ford engine cover? If this is really a joke thread, I think this should be moved to the Water Cooler threads. cuz I honestly think this was a joke gone too far. watever...
