    Special thanks to everyone that pointed out that these were available in the USA. I did not know that and am happy to learn about things I didn't know. Sorry for the misleading information. I will try hard to not make mistakes like this.

    might be weird, but I find civic shuttle to be cute looking

    One of the great Hondas of the eighties! I was a tech at an independent Honda shop in San Francisco in the early nineties, and there was a couple of these I wrenched on. Very fun to drive and I coveted them!

    the US did have this year wagon. 😎 we also got an awd version with the d16a6

      @thevtecnician 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      OH and those are the oem headlights. all usdm 88-91 civics had glass headlights with two single filament bulbs, instead of single bulb dual filament plastic lenses. We also never received oem clear corner lenses. but this thing is in very awesome shape!

      whatttt there are AWD Civic wagons floating around here? I need to keep my eyes open.

      We got them here in the US as the Civic WagoVan

    • @BlueEG2
      @BlueEG2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wrong, 3 trims of the wagon in the US is the DX (FWD), Wagovan (FWD), and the RT4WD. No civic wagon came AWD ONLY 4WD

      Also, don’t forget the U.S. got the 1984-87 Civic Wagon (Wago-Van fwd) and 4WD versions!

    My buddy just picked up his second wagon it’s awd version 6 speed ! A rarity all in its own !

    Man that thing is CLEAN!!! Love the color too, most of the ones in the US were that ugly tan or brown. These came with AWD here in the US, very popular up north. Unfortunately they rusted like crazy with the road salt, so most of them were gone off the roads here by the early 00's, if not earlier.

  • @SofaKingTouge
    @SofaKingTouge 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    we got those in the usa. the awd transmission are really popular to convert crx and other civics to awd.

  • @EPimporters
    @EPimporters 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry to say Derek, but the USA did offer the shuttle. One of our biggest markets we deal with for parts. :) Yes, they came in 4WD, if you search in the Hokkaido area.

  • @kiat469

  • @stevethecatcrx1

    The headlights are definitely not usdm. All us versions of the ef cars had dual bulb headlights. Those are single bulb.

  • @lsvej1

    • @eixciangzeuz8322
      @eixciangzeuz8322 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The RT stands for, "real time". It's deceiving with RT4wd, but that stands for all wheel drive. There's no option to change it from two wheel drive to four wheels.

    • @tonehouseny187
      @tonehouseny187 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is wrong, there is a lever on the trans inside the engine bay to switch to fwd only. I had one and had to put into fwd config to tow. Also the rr4wd version was a 6 speed

    It sounds exactly like the 1988 Civic (ED6?) that I looked at the other day and I noticed that noise in that particular area too.

    The purpose of that spoiler is to direct air over the rear glass so it doesn't get as dirty.

  • @dingusmagee3326
    @dingusmagee3326 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Derek, why is it hat you might wait a long time for one of these to come through the auction? I'm guessing with the age, and specificity of it, that they are just hard to find in general so you have a better chance at one of the manufacturers dealers.

    • @PacificCoastAuto
      @PacificCoastAuto  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most cars in Japan don't make it to 25 years old before they are exported or crushed. It was actually a problem in the 80s where people would abandon their cars on the side of the road because they didn't want to pay the fee to scrap them. They introduced the "recycle ticket" system to fix this. Any car over about 10 years old is much more common to be scrapped after an accident, and since cars in Japan depreciate so quickly, it has a HUGE export market.

    I was so confused when you said these were not available in the us lol cause my friend owns one

  • @BlueEG2
    @BlueEG2 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The civic wagon did not come with one piece headlights in the USDM, JDM, or EDM market.. theyre all two piece.. those are JDM headlights.. USDM headlights are dual bulb (one bulb high, one bulb low) JDM/EDM headlights are single bulb dual beam and adjustable..

    • @zbillster
      @zbillster 8 ปีที่แล้ว
