I finally got another ef and this one is actually nice! Its an 89 si and its near perfect.I did one question i did have about my new car though.Why are the tops of my bumpers black?They are not completely black like some i have seen. Also under the hood it says Honda of Canada, could these two things be related.

thanks for the info
chad

Pics would be oh so helpful.

 

yeah i know but i dont have a camera, sorry. Hopefully my brother will let me barrow his tomorrow. But i guess the best way to describe the bumpers is that it looks the black side molding just keeps going around the whole car.

Because it is an '89 - that's just the way that '88-89 Civic bumpers were painted. '90-91 bumpers had different moulding strips and were painted on the top.

All of the '89-91 Si hatches that I have ever seen were made in Honda's Alliston, Ontario plants (the VIN should start with a "2" and the 11th character should be an "H").

Congratulations on finding a clean '89 Civic Si; that was the best year. I am jealous

 

thanks for the info. Its really a great car. It has perfect interior, perfect body and paint and the d16 still runs really stong! Even the glass is nice. Ill try to post pics tomorrow if i get a chance.

 

If your vin number starts with a "2" then it is a Canadian car.

Just to clarify, it doesn't mean the car is a Canadian Domestic Market car - it just means the car was assembled in Canada.

 

sorry to do this but how do i post a pic that is in a folder.

As far as the Canadian car goes, do you have daytime running lights?

 

sorry about the size.

 

ok i got a couple more and hopefully they are smaller. check out the fresh hubcaps, does anyone have some hx's w/o tires?

 

Very clean.

 

A clean, rust-free Frost White '89 Civic Si I am so jealous!

 

thanks, i love this car. the pictures dont really do it justice. she is beautiful. i have to get rid of those hippie *** jerry garcia stickers though.

 

Thats a nice find. How much did you pay for it?? That is one of the beat years you can get. 88-89 are just about the same as the JDM SiR's. Please take care of it and give it the goodies it deserves. Good Luck.

 

my EF9 SI looks exactly like the one in yer pics, and yes its canadian. nice car

 

thanks again. i paid 2300 for her (not sure if thats steep but i had to have it). so far i think im gonna leave motor stock (for a while) and focus on suspension, wheels, brakes and interior.

 

I want a EF sooo bad...somebody from the Midwest sell me one ASAP...

 

thats a ok price. I would pay for that much for an ef9 but it has to be mint.

If that car was here in PA, it would be worth at least $3000. I would personally pay up to $3500 if I could find a Frost White '89 ED7 that clean. That is the ideal SCCA STS car in the most desireable color.

 

its beautiful . . the work of honda back in the 80's . . how many miles ? keep that car that way till ur a old geezer . . gotta give u some props . .

 

i like the tops black sweet car

 

I have never seen bumpers painted like that.
