2:06 32 years now! I have a 90 EF SiR and it's now almost 34 years old! I'm gonna finally start throwing money at mine soon! Right now it's just stock but it's in nearly perfect condition minus a few issues with the paint. Going to take it into a body shop to get all that squared away, and then I have to make up my mind if I'm gonna go for the K20 or a B20, or possibly even a B16. I know the K20 will cost me significantly more, but it's what my best friend that passed away wanted! This used to be his car before he unfortunately passed away in 2017! Love that forest green on that EF! Mine is white! I plan to keep it white with all black trim and hope to throw some black BBS mesh wheels on it in the future. Much love!
Remember my brother in law having an Si model of these with a simota intake, K&N Filter, sports exhaust and extractors. First Honda I ever went for a ride in and instantly fell in love. Can still smell the interior, hear the dohc engaging and can see my hand reaching then gripping the inside door armrest as my brother in law drove her on the limit through the winding NZ roads. Absolutely grand is that memory!!!
I remember my first Honda experience was a 1995 Integra GSR owned by my brother in law. We got it up to 160 and the VTEC crossover at 8000rpm was so loud. Still one of my best car experiences of all time that wasn’t in some 300hp freight train. I miss that car and was sad to hear that the new owner crashed it.
As time pass’s And K-Series are killing the game I still find myself, building B16’s Love the Stroke, Love the Head Love when VTEC engages Don’t like the cam However, it can be build to compete Nice video, Great build ❤🔰
@@rudyescalante5126 It sound like you are talking about something you have never driven. I've heard anyone complain about too much cam in a Honda. I checked your channel and you don't have any automotive videos.
@ t F ok koo brah Do you ain’t mad bout nothing here I’ve been building motors for years, especially b’s not building a Fkn channel Fk off bud Enjoy your ef…. i love all mine ✌️
I had a 1988 Si - that was a beast. The SiR was another level up and soooo rapid. Immense grip. One of these with a mild lowering kit, exhaust and filter - all I ever needed.
I will never sell my wagovan. Theres just something...so weirdly special about the ef. I cant imagine one of these with a k, or even a J. They would feel like absolute rocket ships!
I got a bone stock rust free TGP SI for 2k in April. It’s currently on EM1 wheels. I’ll build or swap the jdm sohc zc it has. This is my third hatch this year. I’m keeping it.
I’m almost want to sell it. It just died on the freeway one day. I was mobbin all day, I actually grabbed a EG sedan w a b20 & em1 transmission. Anyway the car was starting to be tough to get into gears and when I would let off the clutch while at a stop the car was sort of weak. The second day I had it it didn’t start until I tried and tried and tried. I drive it for a week no problem then it pops outta fifth I put it in fourth it dies and now it just cranks after sitting since the end of April. Smh I know it’s worth $ so I gotta make a decision.
Nah I’m in Salt Lake City, UT. What do you think does it deserve a motor swap or a rebuild? I got my 91 STD for $700 and my 88 DX for $500. So this is a big jump! xD
Great review mate, atleast best one I’ve seen. Love how you put us in the drivers seat and explain all your feelings. I’ve found that other creators just don’t do that.
Hey man, these cars are absolute legends and many dont know their background so well done kn the video. there are some clips of Senna driving them in japan also. I own a track prepped ef9 sir here in the UK
Lovely SiR🔥. Miss my 91 Si b 16 swap. What is paint color called. Beautiful car and came w power windows and rear disk. The 88-91 usdm ef hatches should’ve came rear disk 💯
@@amaurydurand9419 so that’s the 89-91 si green. Love how y’all keeping the ef alive. Out the dmv. Dc md va u don’t see a lot of Ef on the road and definitely not in junkyards U definitely make me miss my black 91 Si hatch. I rocked the 99 Si wheels before I sold mine. Neighbor hit car parked and caused electrical problems 😡
@@adriangreen6842 This is sad dude... these cars definitely deserve to be saved all around the world! Hopefully one day you will be able to buy one for a fair price and maybe you'll be motivated enough to take it back to life! Can't wait for mine to be on the road!
could some honda guy by chance lmk what the piece is called in the back of the car that says civic in between the tail lights? I'm trying to find the one that lights up but im not sure what it's even called
As an ED owner I'm not mad, a little jealous and envy maybe. When ED owners refer to their car as an EF when its clearly not is when I get mad. Even if you fabricate an ED to a right side drive, it will still be an ED. I'm just glad I own this chassis, its been one of my dream cars since the late 80's.
Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell.
My family had one of those back in the 90s. It was the first car I drove. Loved it. I still remember how awesome the low sitting position felt.

If you ever plan to part with it let me know.
B20 with b16 head would be the best combo they pull hard af
Such nostalgia when my uncle built one with a B18C swap in the early 2000’s and what eventually got me into Honda’s. Thumbs up for the video Clay 👍

Love your enthusiasm for the Chassis. Arguably one of the best reviews! Keep up the awesome job!
As time pass’s
And K-Series are killing the game
I still find myself, building B16’s
Love the Stroke, Love the Head
Love when VTEC engages
Don’t like the cam
However, it can be build to compete
Nice video, Great build
❤🔰
How can you like the car but don't like the cam?
@
Lift on lobe
Go no more that stage one w/stock internals
Or type R cams ((at least intake cam))
Then after a couple pulls
You’ll understand why
@@rudyescalante5126 It sound like you are talking about something you have never driven. I've heard anyone complain about too much cam in a Honda. I checked your channel and you don't have any automotive videos.

Underrated channel
Love your passion for Hondas bro, keep representing for the aussies
Always been my favorite
Alright that's it, this video just convinced me to keep and restore my EF Si hatch. These cars are just too damn cool!!
I had a 1988 Si - that was a beast. The SiR was another level up and soooo rapid. Immense grip.
One of these with a mild lowering kit, exhaust and filter - all I ever needed.
Bloody love fast fwds.
That torque velocity movement forward when the gear shift change occurs is bliss!
Glad you did some sound in wide stereo, that vtec cross over is really intoxicating when you control it under your foot
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
God bless you for reviewing an EF so perfectly 👌🏼💯
I love the simplicity of the EF's. One of the cars I lust after. My cousin had a B16 swapped EF. I guess my EP3 will do for now
theyre so dope bro. me and my dad just bought 2 last year for under 3000. Super lucky find one of them is a original teal green si
EF9 is the best !
I never heard of this car before. I was looking up an American 89 Civic to see how much hp it had. This is how I found this video.
I will never sell my wagovan.
Theres just something...so weirdly special about the ef.
I cant imagine one of these with a k, or even a J. They would feel like absolute rocket ships!
Hondas. Don’t you just love em?

Best video of sn ef so far honestly wellll doone bro thanks so much
I have this model back in 90's..the best!! fun to drive..
This car is a drivers' car - I own a R33 GTR but I can see how fun this car would be to drive!
I cannot decide between EF or EG is my favourite in terms of looks. But as long as it has Vtec it rocks. Currently looking to buy either 1
Swear I used to see this driving down high street road every morning. Gorgeous car.
in Europe we had the EE9 with the b16a1 150hp :-) quite similar to the EF9. Tomorrow I'll see one H22swap to decide to buy and restore.
Hey man, these cars are absolute legends and many dont know their background so well done kn the video. there are some clips of Senna driving them in japan also.
I own a track prepped ef9 sir here in the UK
Don't see many of these any more
I’ve got a 1989 Honda Civic ef9 1.4 GL rn and she’s getting there
That wing is perfect
I've had heaps of cars but love getting back in my efs and going for a drive.

I want to try a RHD car and see if I’m coordinated enough to run through the gears with my left hand.
Awesome. I opened a new video from no other than Clay Wong 😍👌
I’m in love with this car 😍
Reminds me of my ukdm ee9 civic, what a car!
I owned one of these, I brought it stock standard. Even had the rare diff on the front. Wish I never sold it
I had an Ee9 ivt as my 1st car 17 yrs ago lol. Needless to say it was a life changing experience.. I've got an eg6 sir2 nw 😂
Can't wait for GT7 now!!

Lovely SiR🔥. Miss my 91 Si b 16 swap. What is paint color called. Beautiful car and came w power windows and rear disk. The 88-91 usdm ef hatches should’ve came rear disk 💯

I found a guy with a sir but it has no moonroof. Is it legit?
you are a lucky guy.
It's so good that it broke the microphone

I’m pretty sure that’s an sir 2. Close ratio n limited slip
And in the US we got a d16😒
I drove B engine 140hp before ...........is just better. I'm driving Nissan now and I missed my B engine so much =(
I love thuis car i self have wonen of my one
I want one where can I get one ☝️
An all time favourite
30-50k though? Don't think so
More like 10k if that
@@buffalotroll2358 last one I saw for sale in New Zealand was up to r $25k
These are rare cars but they’re 30+ years old. Only serious buyers will pay that much. 10-15k max imho
What name the color?
Yes, I want know it
💪💪💪👍🔥💯
VTEC yooo
Civic 25R
Oh how I miss the old days.. when Honda make cars that don't look like ginger.. lol, I miss my EF hatch
VTEC KICK IN 😂
fk aus got all the mean cars
Hectic
Second
All around the world we got the civic but it wasn't an ef it was an Ed.
American viewers will be mad at this.
I owned a 4th gen Civic 1.6iVT for years which had a chassis code EE9. ED had different engine good, bumpers, etc.
As an ED owner I'm not mad, a little jealous and envy maybe. When ED owners refer to their car as an EF when its clearly not is when I get mad. Even if you fabricate an ED to a right side drive, it will still be an ED. I'm just glad I own this chassis, its been one of my dream cars since the late 80's.
