I recently purchased an 1989 Honda Civic Si and I was wondering mainly how rare it is?!
I know that in 1988 there were no ef Si and in 1989-1991 they made ef si's but the 1990-1991 ef si had seat belts on the doors mounted. So there fore its a heavier car.
But the ef so from 1989 same as ef hatch from 1988-1989 have car body seat belts.
My Si is the lightest model of an ef so my point being. I'm just wondering how rare the car is..

It has a few rust spots where its eaten up leaving wholes. I think it was crashed in the driver quarter panel rear one. But the car doesn't leak from the shbroof has the OEM interior still and OEM engine D16A6 block with a head stamped PM9-4 I was told it isn't the OEM head. And the car is stick shift.
Car specs.
White pearl Z - NH-512Z paint code.
D16A6 block and tranny.
Pm9-4 head... - ??????
Full interior si with rips.
Rpm cluster stick shift.
Clean title.

 

well, they're more rare than 90-91 efs and yes they are the lightest ef si civics. i think you have a jewel if i say so myself

 

thanks! I'd still like to learn more about my ef

learn about it like how?

 

probably the rarest thing about your si, these seats were 89 si specific. only made for that one year.

 

Those look like my seats . I'll try to upload a pic of mines. Only there ripped any idea how much itd be to get them remade.. So these seats are rare ^_^? And I mean like this ^ thats something I didn't even think of about my car. Which is the most common color for it or a rare color. Thanks!,,! Ef<3
My seats look the same shape and design. White middle with black and grey lining pathern.

 

lol.... i guess it is considered "rare" if your talking about the seats... or maybe the seats are just rare? still looks like a regular SI to me

 

Also the bumpers,moldings on the side, front bumper filler, few things here and there

 

it is a regular si just it isn't. mainly because of the doors those are the biggest things to be noticed first

I just picked one up a few weeks ago in the Columbus, Ohio area. Can't speak to how rare they are, but it sure drives nice. 206k miles and very fast, yet I get 38 highway.

 

^ that rare 5 lug lol

 

the 88 ef comes with a **** tranny, 89-91 all have the same tranny, 88-89 have different bumper, corner lenses, moldings, tail lights, the seats mount different if i remember.. pretty much the ef to get is the 89, but yours is not the lightest, cx is the lightest, then dx and si
"sun roof" i have an 89 dx and i wouldnt go with any other ef

ps yes thats an si decal, its covering up a scar from the dx badge and ive almost completely converted the car si, engine, entire interior and exterior minus disk and sunroof

 

im starting to think there not so rare just different :/

 

Nice wheels. What brand and size?

 

949 racing 6ul 15x9

 

.

 

By 9 ?

how much offset?

That's a really nice fit.

 

35, but i needed 10mm spacers to clear trailing arm so +25 offset haha, im currently clearing by about 2mm, and thanks! no rubbing! form+function

 

isn't offset how much the wheel sticks outwards? towards the fender? orr what is it? i don't really know, just a vague notion lol.

 

The 1989 ED7 is a one year only car in North America much like the 1997 integra type R. You can learn more about the 1989 in my restoration build thread below
