I dont understand japanese but this is a weird car!

 

why does the word "bulldog" comes to mind when i see this car?

 

Looks like a Shogun (the mid-engined, SHO powered, Festiva)

 

i would not mind having one of those, they look badass, for 1983

 

that thing is rad.....i want one

 

what are the rims 12s or 13s - that thing is sick!!!! (especially for a '83)

 

That is pretty sweet for 1983!

 

hell yea, i wouldnt mind having one of those.

 

Yup .. one of the few Honda factory turbos.

That motor is a direct bolt in for the USDM gen 2 (or maybe gen 1 .. not sure) 1200cc Civic.

 

no way an 83 hybrid

 

that thing is really sweet.

 

If you look around you can find one in the states. There was a guy selling one on Ebay ~6 months ago. It was very tempting. If you look around you'll find more pics, and if you see a pic of the engine you'll notice it also has a red valve cover.

 

 

The City had a 50 cc fold up scooter called the Moto Compo that folded up and fit perfectly into a bin in the trunk so that you could park your car where it was convenient and then bomb around on your scoot. The scooter is a sought after collectors item.

Very nice for an 83 looks beter than some riced up Rs

 

That is classic Honda racetrack technology! Those City Turbo's are cult status cars all the way.

 

Where is Ceas, I belive he has one of those motors ready to go in a "76 civic I believe...

 

I'd drive it!

 

DAMN, you got a pic of one with the Mugen kit too.

 

yeah it does look pretty good for a car made in the '83 . hehe i wasn't even born yet

 

yep, that motor will drop right into this car:





its not mine anymore - I sold it but its still in the family - my younger brother has it, and I still think he wants to do the turbo 1200 swap on it..

ceas

 

damn that thing is cool

 

i'm either doing the turbo 1200 swap or i am thinking ZC with Individual Throttle bodies. i already have the ITB's laying around, so i might as well put them to good use. and then the car weighs like 1500 lbs and will have probably around 150hp. maybe....

btw, specs on the motor:
7:1 compression ratio.
13 psi from the factory
24 psi in racing trip on the stock bottom end, no need to upgrade!

oh, and the best part about my CVCC, it will be a classic in about 4 days!!!! you know what that means? classic plates and no emissions!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

btw, if you don't know i am ceas brother.

 

I knew that CVCC looks pretty clean
