1991 Honda Civic VTi review from Netherlands
"A go-kart that's allowed on public roads!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust had to be changed (not so lucky for me both middle and end part)
The metal blocks that connect the drive shaft with the wheels had to be replaced.
General comments?
This is a very nice car to drive, possibly one of the nicest Honda Civics ever made. The engine is very powerfull, and can rev up all the way to 7500rpm.
VTEC changes valve timing on 5800rpm, after that you get an extra push in the back till red line.
It's a small racer with very good cornering, since it's quite low.
The car looks pretty normal, only people that know see that it's a VTEC: this is your ticket to great fun!
