alphard96 6th Gear December 30, 2016 Share December 30, 2016 Another classic Kombi, but not as good looking as the previous one I spotted last week. Must be VW die hard fans - see at the rear, at least 5 VW emblem/logo! chrome wheel cap v nostalgic however, heard this VW van somehow easily caught fire - so extra care. Not long ago, relative in London had larger VW Transporter, he drive us around all over England...very spacious ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beng2 5th Gear December 31, 2016 Share December 31, 2016 Back then Honda was a true innovator, unlike today.... The model Civic was actually derived from the short form CVCC.... Continunous Variable Cam Control... Yes Honda already had VTEC heads back then. It was a pure mechanical VTEC control that switch cam phasing based on RPM only. No valve lift yet. Can't incorp engine load variable without ECU. It was a time where other Japs manufacturers eg Nissan and Toyota still struggled with outdated hand me downs engines options from Austin and other manufactrurers. Eg.... The Nissan 120Y, 140J, 160B trio at that time... those engines sounded like it will explode if you rev it over 3000rpm. Honda also developed wishbone suspensions at that time for the Accord. The mid to late 70s were the darkest period in automotive history.... ever tightening emission standards, introduction of unleaded gas... low octane gas etc... Big power american muscle cars engine were reduced to sissy ouput. but Honda managed to overcome all these and made a name for themselves since then This Civic can still be found on the roads in Malaysia. I saw before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back in 1966, Honda had already built a V12 engine to race in F1 against the likes of Ferrari and Ford in the world stage. Honda won only 1 race in 4 years of racing. It was the first Asian car manufacturer to take on the best of Europe and USA on the tracks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhajime 5th Gear January 2, 2017 Share January 2, 2017 It feels so weird reading your blog in perfect english without any reference of "ccb ft" or "ccb pap"...lol My dad mentioned it was one of the perkiers car during its time, easily leave the traffic behind. My uncle in his Lancer use to "race" with him but couldn't keep up. But alas the car was plaque with recurring oil leaks and was recalled by dealer a few time. My dad sold it after 3 years. I still have the brochure for this 1st gen Civic. Haven't seen this in quite awhile, is there anymore left in SG? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
