1982 Honda Ascot Innova Si-Z TCV review from Australia and New Zealand
"Looks like Heaven - goes like Hell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major, just had to do the usual cam-belt change at 100,000km, which cost NZ$870. Most of which was labour costs.
General comments?
Awesome car, loved it to the end (tragic accident). It was a real handler, the 4WS made its turning circle incredible, one could quite easily drive into a parallel park.
Its acceleration left many people asking me if it was VTEC (sadly no).
It was far too easy to do well over the speed limit on the open road without realizing it, especially when overtaking!
I miss the car very much, and I am currently looking for another Si-Z TCV (very hard to find).
Its interior was awesome very unique for a Honda.
