It’s hard to place your nger on it when the topic arises but old Honda’s exude this closet desirability for even the most anti-
VTEC boys. Perhaps it’s got something to do with one of the all-time favourite quotes regarding the Big H badge, “Old Honda’s
don’t die, they just get faster.”
No matter what’s your tipple, and old Honda that guns it and sings the VTEC national anthem will always be a cause for whiplash
as you swing your head around to catch a glimpse of it as it pulls away.
They make great racecars as well as the years trim down their pricing and make it a sensible choice for a dedicated track toy,
much like the Civic EF9 here.
Hailing from our neighbours down south, the humble Civic EF is hovering right about the 30 year mark now which makes it
considerably old. Nonetheless, all Civics; as docile as they appear, can be transformed into something blisteringly fast with
just a simple B-Series engine swap and that allows it to make some bold statements. Lastly, a quick skim of the spec sheet will
conrm that this hatch is overowing with some of the most prized Honda components… full of gold.
