[Toby]

]]JDM VTi EG

[wynode]

EG Vti Civic isn;t it??

If its EFI then no.

[McChook]

Well I said that before I knew if it was EFI..

[Weq]

Malay top model EG Civic. It also came up with an optional LSD! the only D-series factory LSD!

[Setanta]

Weq gets the prize. The yanks believe they are JDM and pay a fortune for them ;)

Technically the JDM ZC was a D series motor and it came with an optional LSD in the JDM EF Si

[wynode]

the only D-series factory LSD!


Are these hard to source in oz? (the LSD)

[Toby]

whats "Malay" ??

[civicboy]

malaysia

[Toby]

ok thought so

[Setanta]

Wynode: yes. The engine itself is not the easiest to come by and the LSD equipped is even harder. Although it was an option, the majority of buyers didn't option it.

Same problem with the Y1 tranny in the SiR - I'd love to find the LSD one.

BTW - Honda Au briefly released a "Mugen" Civic with the bodykit and Mugen wheels on it - apparently the LSD was an option for its D16/ZC. Can anyone confirm?

[McChook]

Honda AU didn;t release an Si civic until the EG though (Even though they were around in Japan in ED civics), so in what model would the "Mugen" Civic have come in??

[Setanta]

Arrrrggggg - my bad!!! Mugen CRX is what I meant (ED CRX, same as the EF JDM Si, NOT the Civic Si as I posted this morning :? ).

[Breeze]

d15b vtec was found in all EG JDM vti civic as well, round about same output as D16y8 found in Aus civic vti (EG)
