hello everyone.. this is my car a 79 rhd honda civic. Hope you guys like it...

 

Where are you located? I like that.

 

I live in texas about 45 min from houston tx

 

79 huh, something doesn't look right to me......80 maybe!

We need pic's of motor and a more detailed pic of that cluster.

Any plans?

I like the stance with those rims and tires.

 

Well its a 1979 honda civic cx 1500. And the best reference i have is if you look at the grand turismo 4 it show the same car as the one i have.. and i will post some pics up of the engine and guage cluster again.. As for mods i want to upgrade the suspension and brakes and maybe do a d16 turbo engine swap... But in the future of course..

 

here are some pics

 

According to that chassis plate, it's a 1980 1500 or 1500DX, depending on 4 speed or 5. It's definitely a second gen Civic and not a firest gen.

 

ok, well i found 2 web sites. http://akitins.fc2web.com/mtb.html

yes it is a second gen but it was brought over from japan so i have no clue i just put what the title says 79 honda civic cx 1500 5 speed..

 

she is lovely man, would loooove to have one, hope she does you well )

 

Thank you old schol dave.. It just needs some work and it will be a great daily driver and a sleeper hopefully..

 

id give my left one to have an old honda.... my oldest is a 92.... but i do have a 4wd teg )) to keep me happy, hope she looks after you man

 

Thx for the new pic's!! That cluster is unusual. I like how the tach is in the middle .

I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way about the year.

I do like 2nd gens too! But I'm partial to the first gens. Unless you are talking about crx's

Cool car and have fun with it!!!!!!

 

It could actually be a 1979. In Japan, the second generation Civic started in 1979 with the first gen ending in 1978.

I think the cluster is wild, too. I had two 2nd gens and I don't remember the dash looking like that at all.

 

Not at all thesmogman i did not take it the wrong way its just what the title says 79. yeah everyone i talk to likes the speedometer and tach. they also like the way it works while i am driving i guess its the needles moving i dont know but i like my civic...

 

I have a feeling that that dash is not factory to the car. I think it is swapped in. Also, I can't find anywhere that Honda had a CX model prior to the late 90s. As cool as it is, it's also weird, lolol.

 

Well i found all sort of stuff about the car in yahoo japan.. it showed the car and the gauge cluster and it had an article about but i dont know what it says since i dont speak Japanese... But i like my civic Well went back and found the web site that show the gauge cluster..

Good call, man.

 

in 1980 they started making 17 digit vin numbers so that could also help

 

Way cool. How did you end up with it ?

 

Wow!! :D I just love to see such old Hondas alive! Do a bodywork and U're ready for pimpin'! :D

 

we need more pictures !

 

love it
