hi everyone, with the volvo going off for a new life, i needed a new daily rather sharpish. been keeping my eyes on local honda's for sale as i missed my concerto that was written off last year. a 93 civic eg turned up on gumtree a few days ago. i messaged the seller to see if it was as good as pics, which i was told yes but does need a little touching up here and there, but overall very good for age. well today i went to view and then purchase said eg. its a 1993 eg5 1.6 esi vtec auto with 125hp, and 77k miles!!! shifts well for an auto and drives very nicely. these are only pics at moment, inside is spotless.     |

Looks promising & nicely original with a spec. level to make that desirable (if you like auto).
Amazing these were available with 7 distinct 1.5/1.6l engines, 1.5 SOHC 1&2 carb. 1.5 SOHC inj, 1.5 SOHC VTEC-E, 1.6 SOHC inj, 1.6 DOHC, 1.6 SOHC VTEC & 1.6 DOHC VTEC.(not to mention 1.3 & 1.4l & people later bolting in 1.8 & 2.0 DOHC).
Must find a period test of that engine since I stated buying bits to put one in my '91 ED 1.5 hatch after a brief drive of a friends. Not as radical as the DOHC VTEC, but good fun.

Such a nice shape with proportions that let its curves still look taut rather than flabby, though the interior got a bit bland after the ED hatch's classic design. Love these wild JDM interiors making up for the dull dash!   & after seeing these over engineered cupholders on a sedan I shall have to get some for something...  So many clever little design details like the interlocking seals for the hatch window, & bothering to make the hubcap holes line up with those on the wheels, though looks like they abandoned the L&R handed hubcaps (& alloy wheels)that some of the Preludes & Integras had previously! |

at the time they were miles ahead of lots of manufactures. bought some cheap alloys with great tyres, as 2 were near wear blocks. (cheaper than one decent tyre!!!!)  yes rover brm wheels. |

Wheels look great. Extra Diameter noticeable & if anything they suit it too well, depriving them of impact against the silver body. Making me want one to put B18C into.

hi, quick up date.
i knew when i bought this it had short MOT, but MOT past history is very good.
thought i would get it booked in a couple of weeks early.
it passed this afternoon with no advisories, so double bonus.
not bad for a sub £500 vehicle.
