Well, I sold out today. I am selling my EH2 shell and today I bought an ED6. Once I unload the EH2 shell, I will be turning my back on the 92+ Civics and become completely 91-.

The listing was for a 1988 Honda Civic DX for $950. I got it, but I'm wondering if it's not a DX and is actually a STD. It has a DPFI engine and 4 speed transmission, no PS, but it does have AC. There is not much for a center console...only a rubber boot coming out of the carpet where the shifter comes through the floor, and the plastic console part only being around the e-brake.

Did I buy a DX or an STD? Not that it matters much...eventually the swap from my EH2 will get dumped in...just wondering what I have!

Goodbye EH2! ED3, welcome ED6 to the family.

 

sounds like an STD to me. do you have a rear wiper or pass miror??
what does the ex mani look like???

 

No rear wiper or passenger mirror either...I'm starting to think it's an STD...the exhaust manifold has a cover on it, but now that you mention it, it does look like the STD/CX/VX manifold.

 

that definatly sounds like an std, do you have pics of the manifold?

i just bought an std and the headers look exactly like my cdn model dx...i thought they were supposed to be the 'turbo style' manifold

 

88-89 STD's have the "HF" mani
90-91 STD's have a reg style one w/ the cat under the car

 

Definitely a STD model hatch. The 4spd and dpfi plus no center console. I believe AC was available as an option on all models.

 

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to playing with this car.

 

I have a 91 STD model. Sounds exactly like yours. It came with AC, but 4 speed tranny, dpfi, etc.

 

Yeah that definitely is an std. I have a 90 std myself. Does yours have vinyl seats too?

 

woot to another 4th gen std with A/C

YES...and they MUST go. What seats will swap in?

So far here is a list of what needs doing:

Seatbelts replaced
Speedometer cable
Battery
Negative Battery Cable
Windshield Wipers
Radio Wiring Harness
Passenger mirror
Seats
Rear Hatch Shocks
Driver Door Panel

and I'd like to get a radio and a 5-spd cluster for it eventually.

 

i have a '91 std but i dont have A/C ... but i do have a passenger side mirror

90-91 HATCH SEATS will bolt in.

you can use just about any other honda seat but you have to swap seat pans

Soon enough my new ride will emulate your username.

 

Getting my seatbelts fixed for free next week at the dealership. Fixed the steering [the rack wasn't bolted to the car ], and threw the SI wheels on [looks so much better than with the wheels in the pictures below]. I'm going to try sewing the seats back together in the meantime...I don't know if I can afford new seats quite yet.

Here's some shots from the day I got it:
